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: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the XXXX account that was previously removed from my credit report after being identified as inaccurate and fraudulent. Despite its confirmed removal, this same account has been re-inserted onto my credit report without proper notice or justification, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
This conduct is unacceptable, unlawful, and constitutes willful negligence on the part of the credit reporting agency and the furnisher. The FCRA strictly prohibits the reinsertion of disputed and deleted information unless proper verification and consumer notification requirements are met. No such verification or notice has been provided to me. 
I am demanding the following immediate actions : Permanent removal of the XXXX account from all of my credit reports ( XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion ). 
Written confirmation that the account will not be reinserted again without full compliance with FCRA reinvestigation and notice requirements. 
Investigation and sanctions against the furnisher and any credit bureau involved in this repeated violation. 
This fraudulent reinsertion has caused ongoing harm to my creditworthiness and financial stability. I am requesting swift enforcement action and a full investigation into XXXX and the credit bureau ( s ) that allowed this unlawful practice. 
Failure to act will leave me no choice but to pursue all available remedies, including legal action for damages under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I AM FORMALLY REQUESTING THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF THE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS CURRENTLY LISTED ON MY CREDIT REPORT.

THESE ENTRIES ARE FALSE AND INACCURATE, YET DESPITE MONTHS OF DISPUTING THEM AND PROVIDING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING AN FTC REPORT, THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVED. THEIR CONTINUED PRESENCE RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS AS TO WHY THEY REMAIN ON MY REPORT, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( FCRA ) TO MAINTAIN ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS. I URGE YOU TO TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION BY PERMANENTLY DELETING THESE ACCOUNTS FROM MY REPORT WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY.

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 you regarding a violation of my privacy and confidentiality rights, protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) ). Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I have identified the following accounts that have breached these legal provisions : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumers credit report with the consumers explicit written authorization. The following accounts have accessed or reported on my credit profile without my consent, which constitutes a clear violation of this provision : XXXX. Account # : XXXX XXXX. Reporting of Obsolete Information Violation of 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes, which antedates the report by more than XXXX years. 

3. Right to Privacy Section 602 ( A ) of the FCRA The FCRA, under Section 602 ( A ), clearly states that the consumer has a right to privacy with respect to the disclosure of their personal information. Any release or reporting of information without legal cause or consumer consent violates this right and must be addressed accordingly.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My credit file is reporting inaccurate, incomplete, and unauthorized information, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically : My personal information ( name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth ) is reported inaccurately. Old and incorrect addresses remain on my report, despite being undeliverable and not associated with me. 

My report contains unauthorized credit inquiries that I never approved or consented to. These inquiries were made without my knowledge or signature, and therefore violate Section 1681b ( c ) of the FCRA.

My report contains accounts that can not be verified through any original signed consumer contract. Under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA, these unverifiable accounts must be removed. 

These errors have damaged my creditworthiness, harmed my ability to obtain credit, and caused me unnecessary stress. 

I have formally disputed these items with the credit reporting agency, but the information continues to be reported without proper verification or correction.
