I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days.

As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, Experian, and Transunion  data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX : I discovered incorrect information on my TransUnion credit report, including names, addresses, accounts, and hard inquiries that did not belong to me. Additionally, my own accounts were missing. I believed my file has been mixed with someone elses. 

XXXX : A woman contacted me via XXXX ( the same woman whose name appeared on my incorrect report ), stating that my name appeared on her credit report along with addresses and accounts that did not belong to her and may be mine. 

XXXX Present : I have been working with TransUnion to verify my identity and correct these issues. However, it was only last month that I finally gained online access to my TransUnion credit report. While my name and addresses are now correct, most of my accounts are still missing. I fear that the woman who contacted me may still have my accounts on her report. As a result, my TransUnion credit score is lower than my scores with other bureaus, and I am unsure how to resolve this.

TransUnion advised me to contact my banks, but I believe this is not an issue on their end. Rather, it is a problem that TransUnion needs to resolve directly. My credit reports with the other two bureaus are accurate, further indicating that the issue lies with TransUnion.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a dispute to Experian, Equifax, and TransUnioXXXX multiple times and they have yet to respond to me with the proper verification of the bankruptcy they are reporting on my consumer reports. Sometimes they won't even respond at all. It has been over a year, and they have yet to remove this bankruptcy. Last year in XXXXXXXX XXXX Experian stated they verified the account with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX replied saying they could not locate the bankruptcy that Experian is claiming to verify. They sent me a letter showing it was not found. So how can these companies continue to report this on my consumer report. They have no permissible purpose and it simply states in 15 USC 1681b these companies must have permissible purpose. I also contacted the US Bankruptcy court and PACER they both responded that they do not provide Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion with any information. These companies are violating my rights as a consumer and the CFPB is supposed to protect me from companies like these.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well-being by Equifax, TransUnion, Experian. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by federal law. 
Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing " sham investigations '' and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the CFPB, include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. 
Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. 
Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. 
These allegations highlight systemic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of inaccurate information on credit reports. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manner.

Please review the Inaccurate Information being report : 1. 18 missed or late payments on closed accounts that were disputed, paid in full, or inaccurate.

2. Any and all negative remarks, inquiries that dont match accounts on profile.

3. Data Breach, information stolen.

4. Additional names and addresses not used or never owned.

5. Denial of credit and Adverse Actions.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The late payment remark on my credit report is negatively impacting my FICO score, and I am requesting its removal to ensure my credit profile accurately reflects my financial responsibility. Payment history accounts for approximately 35 % of my FICO score, making it the most significant factor in credit scoring. A single late payment can cause a substantial drop in my score, especially if I previously had a strong payment record.

This inaccurate late payment is unfairly lowering my creditworthiness and affecting my ability to secure financial opportunities, such as obtaining a loan or favorable interest rates. Additionally, lenders and financial institutions rely on FICO scores to assess risk, and this incorrect remark could result in higher borrowing costs or even denials of credit applications.

I am formally disputing this error under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which grants me the right to challenge inaccurate or unverifiable information on my credit report. If the late payment can not be verified or is incorrect, it must be removed. Furthermore, I am requesting a goodwill adjustment from the creditor, as I have a history of responsible financial management, and this late payment does not accurately represent my reliability.
