Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax for illegally reinserting a XXXX Bank account that was previously deleted after a successful dispute. The account was charged off over XXXX years ago, and no XXXX was ever issued. It has now reappeared across all three credit reports without the legally required XXXX reinsertion notice, which violates FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). The account is also reporting with material inaccuracies, including inconsistent balances and dates, and falsely shows account not disputed. 

This mirrors issues raised in XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Experian, where continued reporting of discharged or uncollectible debt without a XXXX constituted FCRA violations XXXX I am demanding immediate and permanent deletion, a full Method of Verification, and confirmation of whether XXXX re-furnished this data.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I was the victim of a fraud scam involving the deposit of a counterfeit check into my XXXX XXXX XXXX account. I unknowingly deposited the check after being misled, and once I became aware of the situation, I immediately took full responsibility and repaid the full balance that was withdrawn. 
Despite this, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX closed my account and reported the incident to Early Warning Services ( EWS ), labeling it as fraud. I have disputed the report with Early Warning twice, submitted all documentation including a police report and proof of repayment, but they have refused to remove the fraud flag from my consumer file. 
This report has made it impossible for me to open a checking account with any major bank. I am not the person who committed the fraud I was scammed, but I acted with integrity by repaying the loss entirely. I believe I am being unfairly penalized for something I did not intentionally do. 
I respectfully request that Early Warning Services and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX remove the fraud designation from my record so that I may restore access to basic banking services.

Company: Monterey Financial Services LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was misled by XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX into signing a travel club contract on XX/XX/year>. I was promised 6070 % discounts on travel, exclusive price freezes, and flight alerts. None of these services were ever provided or accessible. When I questioned the validity of the program and requested to cancel, the company refused. 

Despite no services being rendered, the account was transferred to Monterey Financial Services LLC for collection. I never received value for the {$2000.00} contract, which was financed with high interest ( 17.9 % APR ) and harsh terms. I am now facing credit damage and was recently denied a credit card. 

I dispute the legitimacy of this debt and believe it stems from deceptive sales tactics. Ive asked for verification and proof of services, but received none. I am requesting an investigation and the removal of this debt from collections and my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a bankruptcy public record that is inaccurately reported on my credit report. The bankruptcy court does not furnish, authorize, or verify information to credit bureaus. 

I specifically requested direct verification with the court clerk. The credit bureau responded that it was verified, but they used a third-party vendor ( such as XXXX & XXXX ) and failed to provide the name or contact information of any court official. 

This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) and the Cushman v. Trans Union decision, which requires a reasonable reinvestigation. 

I am requesting that the CFPB require the bureau to delete this unverifiable public record

I have never had accounts with several of the companies listed, and the identifying information on those entries does not match mine.

There are items on my credit report that are inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete. These errors affect my ability to obtain credit and do not reflect my true credit history. The FCRA was enacted to ensure fairness, accuracy, and privacy in credit reporting, and continued reporting of incorrect information undermines those protections. Despite previous disputes and requests for verification, the accounts remain, with no meaningful investigation or correction provided.
