Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Thank you for taking the time to read this complaint. I'm sure you have many complaints sent to you, so I'll try to make this brief. I attempted to dispute a 30-day late payment on my mortgage that I don't believe is really my fault with Experian, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX back XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I never heard anything from any of the companies. I figured maybe the mail got lost or something. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I try again, only this time I send them in certified to keep track of the mail. I also sent it certified as I sent a copy of my license and my social security card, and I wanted to make sure my info got to its destination safely. This time I got a response very fast. Unfortunately, it was just notices saying they wanted me to send them more info or that the companies don't think it was sent by me or an authorized representative. 

I don't know what's going on, but I was under the impression credit bureaus were obligated to ensure my credit report was accurate upon request. Why am I having to wait more than 4 months to simply be told something along the lines of " we don't think this is from you, so we aren't doing anything. '' I'm not about to waste time or money sending them a third notice so they can do what I asked them to do back in XXXX. They need to investigate the XXXX XXXX account as I do not believe the 30-day late payment is correct or that it is my fault. Please help me to obtain an investigation on this matter promptly.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a letter to TransUnion requesting the method of verification for previously disputed items that were reported as verified. Specifically, I asked for the following details : The date you contacted the creditor/furnisher ; Contact information for the creditor/furnisher ; The name of the person who verified the item ; The method of communication used to verify the information ; Whether the creditor provided my Social Security Number, address, and date of birth during the verification process. 
On XX/XX/year>, TransUnion provided a response stating, We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. 
This response from TransUnion suggests that they did not properly investigate my request, which is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a consumer, I am entitled to receive accurate and complete information about how my disputes were verified. The response I received from TransUnion fails to address my request and undermines my ability to ensure that my credit report is accurate. 
I am attaching a copy of my original letter sent to TransUnion, along with their response, as evidence of this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam at LVNV Funding LLC , I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of an alleged debt of {$1200.00} from my credit report, which I believe to be fraudulent. I have no knowledge of this account and have never entered into any contractual relationship with your company or the original creditor. 
The inaccuracies regarding this account are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). To address this issue, I require the following documentation : Evidence of your authorization to collect debts under 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( e ) and 1692 ( f ).

The legal basis for collecting this alleged debt.

Proof of your authorization to operate in my state.

Documentation of the alleged debt, including any contracts or agreements with my signature.

A complete account history, including all collection-related charges.

I am filing a formal complaint for violations of my rights under the FCRA and FDCPA. Specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1692d : Prohibits harassment or abuse in debt collection.

15 U.S.C. 1692e : Prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations.

15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) : Requires proper disclosure of my rights.

15 U.S.C. 1692f : Prohibits unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), I demand an immediate halt to all communication and collection activities related to this account. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), no account should be furnished without my written instructions.

Given the fraudulent nature of this account and the lack of contractual obligation on my part, I request the immediate removal of this disputed account from all credit reporting agencies. Please provide the requested proof of debt and your authority. If you can not provide such proof, I insist that you delete any erroneous reports of this alleged debt from my credit files.

Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial. Failure to comply may result in further legal action to protect my rights.

Complaint narrative:
Due to the recent hack and theft of all Social Security numbers, I opened an account at all three credit bureaus on Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX in order to freeze my credit. However, TransUnion is the only bureau out of the three bureaus that would not freeze my credit. 

There is a XXXX XXXX  feature available, but after selecting that option, I was told there were unusually long wait times. There is also a phone number to call, and the same message about unusually long wait times was given when calling. This seems to have been happening at least over the past three years, and below are some of the many complaints logged against TransUnion online : I then checked online message boards for what is happening at TransUnion, and every comment is that TransUnion 's site has not been working since XXXX. These are common complaints ; I have also had this issue since XXXX, XXXX & now XXXX ; trying to do the free annual credit report. TransUnion is the only one that doesn't work ; every single time I try to use TransUnion online for anything, I have to call them. Then they require me to verify my identity with a series of multiple choice questions ( over the phone! ) ; Among the 3, the worst website. I can not get any information from the website. Please complain to your congressman. This abuse needs to stop. The other 2 have great websites. ; I tried getting all three scores. XXXX, and XXXX popped up immediately, TransUnion nothing, the chat person said " technical issue '' and referred me to a number.
