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 on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 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.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a collection account from IC System for {$340.00}, which appeared on my credit report around XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I previously rented an apartment in XXXX, CA, with a lease that ended on XX/XX/XXXX. I moved out on time, paid all bills, and had no outstanding balance at the time of my departure. 

The debt being reported by IC System was created after my lease ended, and I never received any final bill, notice, or explanation of the charge. I am not responsible for this debt and have no contractual obligation to the creditor or to IC System regarding it. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed IC System requesting debt validation and demanding that they cease reporting the debt, but I received no response. 

This is either a case of error or unfair debt reporting, and it has damaged my credit score. I am requesting that this collection account be permanently removed from all credit bureaus XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

IC System reported a {$340.00} debt to the credit bureaus. I have no contractual relationship with IC System or the original creditor. I already disputed this with the credit bureaus and it was removed due to lack of ownership. Despite my formal dispute letter sent to IC System demanding validation, they failed to provide any supporting documentation such as a contract, itemized statement, or proof I owe this debt. This is a violation of the FDCPA and FCRA. I am requesting full deletion of this account from my credit file.

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 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.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/25 I was notified of a hard inquiry on my credit report via XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX. I did not recognize the inquiry and contacted XXXX XXXX the same morning. I provided my information and they found the application via social security number and was told that there was a pending application for a platinum credit card or something. I notified them that I did not recognize that application and they told me the Name, Address, and Date of Birth were the same except for the phone number and email. They explained they would hand this over to the fraud department and that there were no action items for me to take. They said they would notify the credit bureaus of the fraudulent application. 

I went ahead and contacted Equifax on XX/XX/25 while TransUnion and XXXX  were closed to observe the Juneteenth Holiday. 

XX/XX/25 I contacted all 3 credit bureaus to inform them once again of the fraudulent activity and how to dispute the hard inquiry. XXXX  has already removed the inquiry from my credit report while Equifax and Transunion have yet to do so. I was informed for the remaining 2 bureaus I would have to send in documentation to remove the inquiries from my account.
