Complaint narrative:
I never gave this company permission to access or pull my credit report. I did not apply for anything with them, I didnt authorize a credit check, and I have no prior relationship with this business whatsoever. This was done without my knowledge or consent, which makes it an unauthorized and completely unacceptable inquiry. My personal credit information is not free for the taking, and I take unauthorized access to it very seriously.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against the three major credit reporting agenciesTransUnion, Equifax, and Experianfor their collective failure to investigate, correct, or delete inaccurate and outdated information on my credit reports, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 

On or around XX/XX/year>, I submitted written disputes to each of these agencies regarding multiple accounts that were inaccurately reported on my consumer credit file. As outlined under Section 611 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ), the credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation of any information disputed by a consumer and report back within 30 days. However, none of these agencies have adequately responded, investigated, or provided sufficient documentation from the original creditors to validate these accounts.

Further, under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA, I requested complete verification and documentation of the accounts in question, including the sources and furnishers of the information. I was not provided with any such documents, nor with a valid method of verification.

The presence of inaccurate and unverifiable negative accounts on my credit reports has caused significant harm, including the denial of credit, higher interest rates, and emotional distress. Under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), consumers also have the right to clear and accurate information regarding the terms and obligations of credit, which is undermined when false or incomplete data is reported and left uncorrected.

As such, I am requesting that the CFPB immediately investigate this matter and compel TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian to : Delete or correct the inaccurate and unverifiable negative accounts reported since XX/XX/year>. 

Provide documented proof of verification from the original creditors.

Ensure full compliance with the FCRA and TILA moving forward.

I have attached copies of my dispute letters and any related correspondence for your reference.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

I wish to express my deep disappointment regarding the reporting provided by your organization, as documented in the enclosed document. It is regrettable to note that the aforementioned reporting falls significantly short of being comprehensive and fails to meet the standards I deem essential. As mandated by the law, it is crucial for both your esteemed entity and the data furnishers involved to undertake the certification of all facets pertaining to the obligatory Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 compliance. This certification must be executed with utmost integrity, accuracy, thoroughness, and timeliness, so as to avoid any inadvertent violation or infringement upon my consumer and civil rights

Complaint narrative:
Equifaxs repeated failure to properly address disputes has become a pattern, and it's one that has already drawn federal scrutiny and legal consequences. I refuse to let my credit file suffer due to continued noncompliance and careless reporting practices. 

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Equifax is legally required to reinvestigate all disputed items within 30 days and delete anything that can not be 100 % verified using original, reliable documentation. These reporting errors are harming my financial future, and I will escalate this matter if corrective action is not taken immediately.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.
