Consumer complaint received 2025-08-20 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute regarding inaccurate/fraudulent information on my credit file through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c2 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), when a consumer notifies a consumer reporting agency that information results from identity theft or is otherwise fraudulent, the agency must block the reporting of that information within four ( 4 ) business days of receipt of such notice.

Your agency has failed to comply with this statutory requirement. More than four ( 4 ) business days have elapsed since the date of my dispute submission through the CFPB, yet the disputed accounts remain on my credit file. This constitutes a direct violation of the FCRA and FACTA.

Further, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), a consumer reporting agency must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed item. Failure to act within the required timeframes not only demonstrates noncompliance, but also obligates you to delete or block the disputed information since you are unable to verify its accuracy in accordance with the law.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I discovered a charge-off account on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate and incomplete. Since noticing this, I have submitted multiple formal disputes to both the creditor/furnisher and the credit reporting agencies, requesting a thorough investigation and validation of the debt. Despite these repeated efforts, the creditor has failed to provide any substantive verification, such as the original signed contract, detailed payment history, or evidence that the debt is valid and belongs to me. 
Instead, I have only received generic or stall responses that do not address the specific issues I raised. The inaccurate charge-off status, incorrect balances, and inconsistent reporting continue to appear on my credit report, which is negatively impacting my credit score and financial opportunities. This ongoing failure to investigate and correct the errors violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and related consumer protection laws.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: HW Holding, Inc

Complaint narrative:
A debt collector - Hunter Warfield- obtained an account from my former property manager, XXXX XXXX, and presented me with an offer that would settle the outstanding balance that I owed to them of {$3500.00} at the price of {$1200.00}. 

When I recently made an offer to Hunter Warfield, they apparently sold the account to another debt collector - XXXX XXXX XXXX - who has been harassing me for an amount significantly higher than the original offer of {$1200.00} This is a housing related debt that I am serious about resolving. I want the paid debt to reflect in my credit report within enough time to move this autumn. I dont currently have my own place to live and this kind of unscrupulous behavior is a threat to my self-sufficiency. 

I can not afford to pay the amount that the new collector is demanding, and there is no doubt that - XXXX XXXX XXXX - is harassing me! 

They have used manipulation tactics, lies, and bait-and-switch to try and trick me into paying more than was advertised when they emailed me. 

First they said I could resolve the account with them for {$1000.00} I have it in writing, however on every contact that Ive had with them outside email they tell me that they are NOT going to settle the account for the amount they advertised to me via email. They are badgering me for upwards of {$2000.00} which is way more than any amount I have ever seen for settling this balance. 

These kinds of deceitful practices are a barrier to my livelihood. I want to resolve this account, however I can not afford nor do deserve the mistreatment and manipulative abuse that I am suffering from XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because EXPERIAN continues to report inaccurate and damaging information on my credit profile despite my prior disputes. These inaccuracies are not only misleading but also in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a consumer, I have the right to have only complete and verified information reflected in my credit file, yet EXPERIAN has failed to uphold this obligation. 

The first account at issue is XXXX XXXX, Account Number XXXX, opened on XX/XX/XXXX, with a balance of {$3100.00}. This account has been reported with a XXXX late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. I dispute this late payment notation as it is inaccurate and does not reflect the true history of my account. Despite my disputes, EXPERIAN has left this false derogatory entry in place, continuing to damage my credit standing. 

Additionally, EXPERIAN is reporting a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy filed on XX/XX/XXXX, with reference number XXXX, settled on XX/XX/XXXX, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Idaho ( XXXX ). This bankruptcy is inaccurately represented on my report. It is either outdated, incomplete, or not properly verified as required under the FCRA. The continued reporting of this bankruptcy entry has caused long-term harm to my credit reputation. 

By allowing these errors to remain, EXPERIAN is engaging in willful noncompliance with the FCRAs requirement to maintain maximum possible accuracy. This repeated failure to correct disputed information demonstrates negligence and disregard for consumer protections. These inaccuracies materially affect my ability to obtain fair credit and must be addressed immediately.
