Consumer complaint received 2025-12-18 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to formally request the immediate blocking and deletion of fraudulent information currently appearing on my credit report, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. Section 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Despite multiple prior disputes and the supporting documentation already provided, this account continues to be reported, which constitutes a violation of federal law.

Enclosed is a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) as evidence of identity theft. 
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1681c-2, once an identity theft report is received, a credit reporting agency is required to block the disputed information within four ( 4 ) business days. This obligation has not been met. 
The account that must be blocked and removed immediately is : XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX This account does not belong to me and is the direct result of identity theft. Other credit reporting agencies have already deleted this account after being unable to verify its legitimacy. Additionally, the furnisher has failed to provide any signed agreement or verifiable documentation for more than 60 days, confirming that this account can not be validated. 
Nevertheless, TRANSUNION continues to report this account, knowingly allowing inaccurate and harmful information to remain on my credit file. 
This ongoing failure to remove the fraudulent account has resulted in significant financial and personal harm, including credit denials and the inability to pursue essential financial goals such as home ownership. 
I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau review this matter and ensure compliance with federal law by requiring that this fraudulent account be blocked or removed immediately, and that confirmation of such action be provided.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report, along with government-issued identification, SSN verification, and proof of address. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( FCRA 605B ), once a consumer provides an identity theft report and verification, a consumer reporting agency is required to block and permanently delete all information resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

This is not a request for reinvestigation under 1681i. It is a statutory deletion demand.

The continued reporting of this charged-off account violates the following provisions of federal law : 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( a ) Failure to block identity-theft-related information 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Furnisher reporting information known or believed to be inaccurate 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) Requirement to delete unverifiable information The remark Account information disputed by consumer ( FCRA ) confirms the dispute but does not satisfy the legal requirement to block and delete fraudulent data once identity theft has been established.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Company: Credit Bureau Systems, Inc., Paducah, KY Branch
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> at approximately XXXX I called Credit Bureau Systems ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) regarding an alleged medical debt that is approximately XXXX years old. 

During the call, I requested information regarding a possible settlement amount to resolve the account. After I declined an unaffordable settlement offer, the representative stated that they would verify my employment and move forward with collection. The representative then ended the call abruptly without allowing me to respond. 

No lawsuit, judgment, or legal action was discussed or provided in writing. I believe this statement was used to intimidate me into making payment and improperly implied contact with my employer. 

I am requesting that this conduct be reviewed and that the company be required to comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), including restrictions on threatening or misleading communication.

AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE REPORTING AGENCYS FAILURE TO CORRECT, VERIFY, OR REMOVE FALSE INFORMATION, I HAVE SUFFERED MEASURABLE AND CONTINUING HARM. INACCURATE DATA HAS BEEN USED BY THIRD PARTIES TO DENY CREDIT, ALTER TERMS, AND DAMAGE MY REPUTATION. THIS VIOLATES MY RIGHTS UNDER 15 U.S.C. 1681N AND 1681O, WHICH PROVIDE REMEDIES FOR WILLFUL AND NEGLIGENT NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE FCRA. 

THE REPORTED ERRORS HAVE CAUSED FINANCIAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND EMOTIONAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING INCREASED INTEREST RATES, DENIAL OF CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES, AND EMBARRASSMENT FROM BEING FALSELY REPRESENTED AS DELINQUENT OR UNRELIABLE. THE AGENCYS CONTINUED FAILURE TO REMOVE UNVERIFIED DATA EVEN AFTER FORMAL NOTICE DEMONSTRATES CONSCIOUS DISREGARD FOR CONSUMER RIGHTS AND FEDERAL LAW. 

FURTHERMORE, THE AGENCYS INACTION HAS ALLOWED THESE ERRORS TO PROPAGATE ACROSS MULTIPLE DATABASES, CREATING A SELF-PERPETUATING SYSTEM OF FALSE INFORMATION THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A CONSUMER TO FULLY REVERSE WITHOUT REGULATORY INTERVENTION. THIS IS A DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE DUTY TO ASSURE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE ACCURACY AND TO CEASE REPORTING INFORMATION KNOWN TO BE INACCURATE OR UNVERIFIED.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
THE REPORTING AGENCY HAS DEMONSTRATED A PATTERN OF SYSTEMIC NEGLIGENCE AND FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REASONABLE COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AS REQUIRED UNDER 15 U.S.C. 1681E ( A ) AND 1681E ( B ). IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS ENTITY DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE INTERNAL CONTROLS, AUDIT TRAILS, OR SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO ENSURE LEGAL ACCURACY AND COMPLIANCE.

THE AGENCYS RESPONSES TO DISPUTES ARE AUTOMATED, UNSUBSTANTIATED, AND DEVOID OF HUMAN REVIEW INDICATING THAT NO REASONABLE INVESTIGATION OCCURRED. SUCH AUTOMATION, WHEN IT RESULTS IN THE CONTINUED REPORTING OF KNOWN INACCURACIES, AMOUNTS TO RECKLESS NONCOMPLIANCE AND BAD FAITH OPERATION UNDER THE FCRA. 

MOREOVER, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE AGENCY HAS PROVIDED TRAINING OR OVERSIGHT TO PERSONNEL RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDLING CONSUMER DISPUTES, NOR HAS IT IMPLEMENTED ADEQUATE SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT REPEATED ERRORS OR IMPROPER DATA HANDLING. 

THIS PATTERN OF NONCOMPLIANCE VIOLATES THE CORE PRINCIPLES OF CONSUMER PROTECTION, FAIR DATA USE, AND DUE PROCESS AND DEMONSTRATES A DELIBERATE FAILURE TO UPHOLD FEDERAL REPORTING STANDARDS.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports.
