Consumer complaint received 2025-07-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 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: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am formally requesting the removal of a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX from my credit file. After reviewing my records and the reporting in question, I have identified inaccuracies and potential violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), if applicable.

Under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), consumers have the right to accurate, complete, and verifiable information on their credit reports. If a creditor can not provide documented proof of the validity of a late paymentincluding the date, payment agreement, and evidence of defaultit must be corrected or deleted. 
Additionally, I have not received sufficient documentation from XXXX XXXX proving ownership of the account and the specific terms and conditions that would justify the reported delinquency. Without proper verification or a record of my agreement and consent to the alleged terms, the reporting lacks a lawful basis and may be considered inaccurate or unverifiable.

I am also concerned that this account may have been handled in a way that misrepresents my credit history, which directly impacts my ability to obtain fair lending terms, housing, and employment. Therefore, this matter is not only a legal concern but a personal hardship affecting my livelihood.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Westlake Financial is inaccurately furnishing data to the credit bureaus regarding a closed auto loan account that should no longer be reporting in this manner. The payment history is being inaccurately updated monthly, with a " CO '' ( charge-off ) status reported from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, implying that I am continuously delinquent on an account that is closed and has had no activity since XXXX. Westlake is reporting a past due balance of {$3600.00} without providing any documentation to support this claim. I called Westlake directly to request verification of this account, and your representative told me that my account could not be located because it was over six years old. If your own records can not verify the account, then how is this data being validated for credit reporting purposes? The account has been closed and charged off, and yet you continue to report monthly delinquency updates into XXXX, falsely suggesting ongoing missed payments. 

This is not only misleading but illegal, as closed and charged-off accounts can not legally report monthly new derogatory data unless there is renewed activity or an arrangement which there has not been.

My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Complaint narrative:
I previously disputed a charged-off account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on my XXXX credit report. The account shows a balance of {$9400.00} and was charged off in XXXX XXXX claimed the account was verified as accurate after my initial dispute. 

In response, I sent a certified debt validation request directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX  asking them to verify the validity and accuracy of the debt under the FDCPA. Instead of sending documentation or verification, XXXX responded with a cease and desist request and did not validate the account or provide any proof of the debt. 

Despite this, the account remains on my Experian credit report as a charge-off, and no further action has been taken to correct or remove it. 

This is a violation of my rights under the FCRA and FDCPA. A debt that can not be verified should not be reported or verified as accurate. I am requesting immediate deletion of this account and a full explanation of how the account was verified, by whom, and with what documentation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
The 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.
