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 XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint.

Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
What happened is that both TransUnion and XXXX are reporting multiple derogatory items on my file that are not only inaccurate but clearly the result of data breaches and mishandled information-sharing practices. For instance, they are showing a XXXX  account with a balance of {$0.00} but still labeling it as a charge-off, which is contradictory and misleading. They are also reporting a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXollection with an active balance of {$520.00} that I have no record of ever owing, and an old XXXX XXXX account dating back to XXXX  with a charge-off status that I know has been incorrectly handled. These accounts appear to have been reintroduced or carried over despite my prior disputes, which makes me believe the bureaus are simply recycling bad data instead of verifying accuracy as the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) explicitly requires. 

The law makes it clear that when a consumer disputes information, the bureaus have a duty under 1681i to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. A reinvestigation does not mean pushing the same data back into my file without independent verification. Furthermore, the continued reporting of these disputed accounts violates my rights under 1681e ( b ), which requires the bureaus to maintain maximum possible accuracy. If these accounts stem from a data breachas the patterns strongly suggesttheir failure to address and correct the inaccuracies shows a reckless disregard for both consumer rights and their statutory obligations. Creditors themselves, such as XXXX XXXX and major utilities like XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, have had long histories of complaints regarding mishandled consumer data and inaccurate reporting. These industry patterns make it even more critical that the bureaus take consumer disputes seriously instead of assuming the creditors word is final. 

Because of these errors, Ive experienced financial and emotional stress that has been overwhelming. Having derogatory accounts that I do not owe appear on my report has made me appear as a higher credit risk than I actually am, causing difficulty in applying for housing, higher interest rates on credit products, and even embarrassment when lenders question me about these accounts. It is not just a clerical mistake ; it is something that directly impacts my daily life, my financial stability, and my peace of mind. The FCRA exists to prevent exactly this kind of harm, and yet I am living through it because of their failure to follow the law.

I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation that is binding on me to pay this debt. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have or continue to report invalidated information to any of the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ), this action might constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found or continues to report on any of my credit reports by your company or the company you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act I am sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following declaration, I will require 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit- reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. If your offices fail to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.

Complaint narrative:
Bank errors in billing and reporting are damaging my credit. Under TILA ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ) ), creditors must accurately reflect payments and credits, yet several of my payments were not properly recorded, and calculation errors remain. Further, I was not given the required 21-day notice before payment was due, making any late marks invalid.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern I am writing to formally dispute several items on my credit report that are incorrect, misleading, and have caused significant financial and emotional harm. I request an immediate investigation and correction of the following items under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX High Balance : {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/2023 Issue : Charge-off reported incorrectly Law : FCRA 623 requires furnishers to report accurate information ; FDCPA 807 prohibits misrepresentation of debt Story : Reporting this account as a charge-off is completely false because the balance is {$0.00} and there is no evidence of default. This incorrect reporting paints me as irresponsible and financially negligent, which has caused me to be denied credit cards and loans. I have been forced to pay higher interest rates on existing accounts because lenders perceive me as a high-risk borrower. The emotional distress of being falsely labeled as someone who defaults on debts is immense. This error not only harms my financial reputation but also affects my day-to-day life, making even simple financial transactions stressful and discouraging I demand that all disputed items be thoroughly investigated and removed or corrected immediately in accordance with FCRA and FDCPA requirements . I also request written confirmation once these corrections have been made.
