Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Icontacted Santander USA to formally request the removal of all inaccurately reported 30-day late payments from my credit report, as these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ), creditors are required to ensure that the information they furnish to credit reporting agencies is complete, accurate, and up-to-date.

Upon reviewing my credit reports from the major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ), I have identified inaccuracies in the reporting of late payments on my account [ insert account number ]. I believe these late payment reports are erroneous and may be the result of clerical errors or miscommunication.

According to Section 611 of the FCRA, I have the right to dispute any inaccurate information, and your company has an obligation to investigate and correct or delete any unverifiable information. I requested that Santander USA conduct a thorough review of the reported late payments and provide evidence supporting their accuracy. If no such evidence exists, I kindly asked that these late payments be removed from my credit report immediately. 
Additionally, I requested written confirmation of the resolution of this matter, along with updated account information reflecting the removal of the inaccuracies.

Details of the Fraudulent Information : Are attached in dispute letter I have taken the following actions regarding this fraudulent activity : 1. Submitted a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and completed an Identity Theft Affidavit ( FTC Affidavit Number : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX. Contacted each credit reporting agency ( XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax ) to notify them of the identity theft and provided the necessary documentation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WA

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.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account though your company claims to has verified this.

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/XXXX  in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.
