Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent several letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal and aggressive demand for the immediate removal of an ILLEGALLY REPORTED CHARGE-OFF REPOSSESSION on my credit report related to Bridgecrest. This account has been wrongfully reported, and I will take legal action if it is not removed within 30 days as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

VIOLATIONS COMMITTED : 1. ILLEGAL DOUBLE REPORTING & COLLECTION ATTEMPT A charge-off means the debt has been written off by the creditor. It is illegal for Bridgecrest to report or attempt to collect again after it has been charged off. Reporting this as a repossession AND a charge-off is an intentional act of fraud.

2. FAILURE TO PROVIDE NOTICE I never received a legally required written notice after the charge-off was recorded, which is a direct violation of FCRA laws. 
XXXX. FTC COMPLAINT FILED I have already reported this violation to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) for deceptive and illegal reporting practices. 

REQUIRED ACTION : IMMEDIATE REMOVAL of this account from my XXXX and XXXX credit reports. 
A written confirmation of this removal within 30 days to avoid further legal action. 
Failure to comply will result in escalation to the CFPB, state Attorney General, and a formal lawsuit for willful violation of the FCRA. 

I expect immediate action. I will not hesitate to pursue my full legal rights, including statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation plus attorneys fees. 

You have 30 days to remove this fraudulent charge-off repossession from my credit reports, or I will take the next legal step.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''
