Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this as I am a consumer and has been a victim of inaccurate reporting by XXXX XXXX on their account [ Account Number : XXXX ]. I want to bring to your attention the fact that the account has been inaccurately reported as " paid twice ''. This error on my credit report is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regulations. 

I am hereby requesting the Credit Bureau to remove any and all credit information associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX account [ Account Number : XXXX ] from my credit report, as your bureau is a party to this reporting of incorrect payment history. The inclusion of such an entry in my credit report, as " paid twice '' has adversely affected my credit score, which in turn has had unnecessary financial consequences. 

The accurate information which XXXX XXXX  should have had provided was in fact that I made a payment in full for the account [ Account Number : XXXX ] and the account was closed after balance was fully paid at end of year 2020. Any entries reporting an incorrect status or repeating the same information would not only be a violation of FCRA guidelines but also misleading as such double pay or overdue/pending payments ultimately give incorrect certainty to my creditor scoring. 

The reporting of " paid twice '' has marginalized my credit standing with the worthiness as a borrower and also has had impacts like higher interest rates, having difficulty in securing loans from various lenders, and so summarily created unnecessary financial hardships. 

This reporting error by XXXX XXXX has caused significant inconveniences to me and failed to comply with FCRA provisions. The FCRA regulations aim to protect consumers from inaccurate credit information, and as such, any violations of these laws will attract legal actions for failure to comply.

Complaint narrative:
I write this letter with deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the responses provided by Equifax to my complaint. It is distressing to note that Equifax has failed to address the central issue raised in my initial complaint, revealing a lack of accountability and transparency in handling consumer complaints. As stated in my original complaint on XX/XX/2023, the core concern lies in XXXX XXXX XXXX 's failure to respond to a Debt Validation request within the mandated 30-day period. The supporting evidence of a certified mail receipt unequivocally proves the mailing and receipt of the validation letter. However, the Equifax credit bureau 's response exhibit a dismissive attitude towards this crucial matter, evading any meaningful acknowledgment of XXXX XXXX 's untimely response. I must express my strong disapproval of such responses, which not only demonstrate a lack of diligence and adherence to an unbiased investigation but also undermine the integrity of the credit reporting process. 

Consumers deserve proper and transparent handling of complaints, especially when it comes to issues that impact their financial well-being. In light of this, I demand that the response to my complaint be submitted on the public portal accessible to all consumers. This measure is crucial to prevent the credit bureaus from concealing their inadequate handling of complaints by mailing the response instead of posting it on the portal and to hold them accountable for their actions. Transparency and accountability are essential pillars in fostering trust between consumers and credit bureaus. By publicly acknowledging and rectifying the shortcomings in handling my complaint, you will demonstrate a commitment to improving your services and upholding fair practices. I expect this matter to be promptly addressed since the inadequacy of their responses to the XX/XX/2023 complaint should not be counted against me. The delay tactics should not be encouraged by allowing even more time after an inadequate response. Furthermore, all responses should be posted on the portal in addition to the mail. But mailing the response should not be a substitute for posting the results on the portal. 

Please be advised that I have also filed a complaint with the District of Columbia Attorney General Office because Equifax 's repeated failure ( 4 complaints ) to address my concerns transparently and adequately. I will not hesitate to escalate this matter further to other relevant regulatory authorities and consumer advocacy groups up to and including legal action. Your immediate attention to this issue is expected and appreciated.
