Complaint narrative:
I was shocked to discover an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report today, and I dont understand why its there. I always monitor my credit report, yet this time, an unfamiliar entry appeared out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser multiple times, but the issue persisted. This is completely unacceptable, and I need it addressed without delay. I am requesting a thorough review of my submitted documents to ensure this never happens again.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
an unauthorized inquiry by XXXX appeared on my credit report. I did not apply for credit, initiate any transaction, or authorize XXXX to access my consumer report. 

This action constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( f ) : XXXX had no permissible purpose to obtain my report.

15 U.S.C. 1681n ( a ) : Obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses is unlawful and carries civil and criminal penalties.

Additionally, this may fall under Aggravated Identity Theft per 18 U.S.C. 1028A, as it involves unauthorized use of personally identifying information. 

I have no existing account, relationship, or application with XXXX. The inquiry has negatively impacted my credit score and represents a breach of my privacy. 

I sent XXXX a formal notice and demand for removal of the inquiry and offered to settle the matter for {$1000.00} in civil damages under FCRA 616. I informed them that failure to comply within 10 calendar days will result in escalation, including legal action and seeking greater actual damages.

Complaint narrative:
Western Union Financial Services , Inc . 
Attn : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, CO XXXX Subject : Request for Status Update Money Order Fraud Investigation and Refund Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a status update on the money order fraud investigation package I submitted to Western Union more than a month ago. My submission included the notarized Purchasers Affidavit, as well as several supporting documents to substantiate my refund request. 

To recap : on XX/XX/year>, I purchased five Western Union money orders from XXXX in XXXX, Indiana, and mailed them with an immigration petition to the XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). The petition was rejected on XX/XX/XXXX, and I received the returned documents on XX/XX/XXXX. However, the money orders were not returned with the packet. I later confirmed through Western Union that all five money orders were cashed on XX/XX/XXXX, after the rejection date. 

Since XXXX confirmed in writing that they did not receive or cash any of the money orders, and I have not authorized anyone else to cash them, this points clearly to fraud. To support my claim, I submitted : The notarized Purchasers Affidavit A police case report summary from XXXX Police Department Bank statement showing the money orders were paid for via my Chase debit card ( with the last 4 digits matching the purchase receipt ) Email correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX confirming they did not receive the money orders A copy of the rejection notice from XXXX Photocopies of all five money orders XXXX receipts for the money order purchase Shipping receipts for the original petition package All documentation was mailed to the Western Union Forgery Department address on file. 

As I have not yet received any confirmation, acknowledgment, or update from your office, I am growing increasingly concerned. I kindly request that you provide a status update on my case and advise whether any additional information is needed from my side to facilitate processing. 

Please understand this refund is urgently needed to resolve critical personal and medical expenses. I sincerely appreciate your attention to this matter and ask that you prioritize the final review so I may receive the appropriate refund. 

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
