Consumer complaint received 2025-09-26 00:00:00
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: TX

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me. 

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over XXXX days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within XXXX  days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than XXXX  days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because Equifax is inaccurately reporting a XXXX XXXX XXXX  account tradeline on my credit file. This tradeline is being reported only on Equifax and not on XXXX  or XXXX, which constitutes materially misleading and incomplete reporting. I feel like Equifax is taking advantage of me by ignoring my disputes and not fixing this error. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Reporting a derogatory account to only one bureau creates inconsistency and violates the accuracy requirement.

Additionally, the Metro 2 format requires complete and uniform data. My forensic audit shows the following deficiencies : Missing fields : Account Type ( XXXX ), Portfolio Type ( XXXX ), Date Last Verified ( XXXX ), and Balance fields ( XXXX, XXXX ). 

Contradictions : Creditor Remarks list Charged off account / transferred or sold, but no corresponding balance, terms, or payment history are furnished.

Dispute Code not reported : Despite my disputes under FCRA 611, the account is not marked as in dispute, which is a violation of Metro 2 and CFPB Regulation V ( 12 CFR 1022.42 ).
