Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

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.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the credit bureaus over a month ago, yet the incorrect information on my report remains unchanged. I have not received any updates from the bureaus, aside from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have thoroughly investigated the inaccuracies? What verification methods were utilized to assess the accounts? This situation is extremely frustrating. More than 30 days have passed since my complaint, and the disputed accounts are still not updated. If this persists, I will be compelled to pursue legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I am worried about the security of my personal information, especially in light of the data breach involving Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I mailed Equifax a formal dispute XXXX, via certified mail, regarding a false and invalid {$7700.00} collection account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX ) , related to a lease at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

The dispute included : A court judgment showing I do not owe the apartment complex A lab-confirmed mold test verifying black mold in the unit Documentation that the landlord has no record of me as a tenant Proof that the apartment was uninhabitable and I was forced to vacate As of XX/XX/year>, 30 days have passed with no response from Equifax. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 ), Equifax is required to respond within 30 days of receiving a dispute.

I have certified mail confirmation that the dispute was delivered.

I am requesting this collection be immediately deleted from my credit file due to Equifaxs failure to comply with federal law.

Company: Servicer under contract with Federal Student Aid
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding inaccurate reporting of a 90-daXXXX delinquency on my student loan accounts. As of XX/XX/year>, the following account balances were reported as 90 days late and negatively impacted my credit score : {$2200.00} {$22000.00} {$2300.00} {$22000.00} {$1000.00} {$2300.00} {$3500.00} {$3500.00} {$5600.00} {$4600.00} I am currently an active student, and these accounts should have been in in-school deferment or forbearance status. I did not receive any proper notice from my loan servicer about missed payments, delinquency status, or payment obligations. I only discovered this delinquency after checking my credit report, and attempts to resolve this directly with the loan servicer have been unsuccessful. 

I am also citing 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which establishes the rules for timely billing and reasonable notice of payment requirements. According to this federal law, creditors must provide clear notice of payment obligations before reporting derogatory information to credit reporting agencies. In this case, I was not properly informed of any required payments and believe this reporting violates my consumer rights. 

I am requesting a full investigation and the immediate removal of the 90-day late marks from my credit report, as they are damaging my credit history inaccurately. I respectfully request the CFPBs assistance in correcting this issue.

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because a debt reported by XXXX XXXX  ( servicing through XXXX XXXX ) appears on my XXXX  credit report and remains unvalidated despite multiple requests. On XX/XX/year>, I sent a formal debt validation request via Certified Mail ( tracking delivered ) to : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX This letter, sent under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g, requested full documentation proving the legitimacy of the alleged debt, including the original contract, balance breakdown, and proof of legal ownership. 

Instead, XXXX XXXX  responded with a generic account summary and new payment requestbut provided no supporting documents, no verification of balance accuracy, and no proof they hold the debt. This clearly fails to meet the federal validation standards. 

I then disputed the debt with XXXX, which acknowledged receipt and notified me of a potential 30day investigation. However, XXXX  continues to list the debt, despite XXXX XXXX continued failure to validate it. 

This constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 1681i & 1681s2 ), which mandates that unverified or inaccurate debts must be removed. I am requesting that CFPB compel both XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX  to comply with federal law and immediately remove this unvalidated debt from my credit file.
