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

Complaint narrative:
he 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.

The man did convince me to remove XXXX dollars from my checking and savings.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for transactions from XXXX XXXX and XXXX Games for charges made in excess of {$13000.00}. My claim on these charges was denied due to the fact that the claim was mistakenly filed as a fraudulent claim as opposed to a merchandise not received claim. I have tried to reopen the inquiry under the correct designation, however I have been unable to communicate this designation with Truist. I did not receive any merchandise or service from these merchants and have communicated with the merchants who have told me the only course of recourse in through my bank.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
This compalaints serves as a formal demand for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding the handling of my credit report. I have requested the following accounts listed below to removed from my credit report due to identity theft. This is my several attempt to resolve this matter. The previous letters have come with zero compliance. Your failure to provide verifiable proof and your reliance on generic, non-substantive responses violate federal law and my consumer rights. I will not tolerate these deliberate evasions.

Despite my repeated disputes, your agency has failed to provide legally required documentation proving the validity of the reported information. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, you are legally required to conduct a meaningful investigation and provide substantive evidence verifying the accuracy of the disputed accounts. Your boilerplate responses do not meet this legal standard, and your continued negligence constitutes a blatant violation of federal law.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer credit reports. Your continued reporting of unverified and inaccurate information, despite my multiple disputes, demonstrates reckless disregard for the law and my rights.

You have 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1.Actual verification of the disputed account, including original documentation from the data furnisher proving the validity of the debtnot generic statements from the creditor or data furnisher.

2.A detailed explanation of the investigation conducted, including the specific steps taken to verify the accuracy of the information.

3.The names, contact information, and job titles of the individuals who handled my dispute.

4.A statement confirming removal of any information that can not be fully verified as per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

Failure to comply will result in immediate legal action. I am fully prepared to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General. Additionally, I will explore all legal avenues, including but not limited to, filing a lawsuit for willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which entitles me to statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs.

This account do not belong to me, as they are fraudulent. The banks have agreed to remove this account from my records. Im confused why you still feel theyre reporting accurately. Please see this account are fully investigated and VERIFIABLE PROOF IS FORWARED TO ME.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up complaint concerning the repeated appearance of inaccurate and potentially duplicated charge-off accounts on my Equifax credit file. The account XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is once again being reported twiceonce under XXXX and again under XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXboth dated XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  with a balance of {$460.00}. This duplicative reporting grossly exaggerates the negative impact of a single account. Additionally, XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) is reporting a {$10000.00} charge-off from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  without any legitimate verification or original creditor documentation provided after prior disputes. 

Recent findings by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have brought to light significant concerns regarding Equifaxs failure to conduct proper investigations. Specifically, in a lawsuit filed against Equifax, the CFPB alleges that the company engaged in sham investigations, violating consumer protection laws by failing to meet its obligations under the FCRA. As per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Equifax is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable must be promptly deleted or corrected.
