Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX  ) 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 ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code XXXXc-XXXX. 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:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and XXXX  inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint FTC Report Number : XXXX as proof from the XXXX Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and XXXX  inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no 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:
I am filing this complaint regarding a fraudulent timeshare account reported under the name XXXX that was opened due to identity theft. I have already submitted a dispute with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to properly verify the account and have not removed it from my credit report. 

Under my rights according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : FCRA 605B gives me the right to block and have permanently removed any information resulting from identity theft from my credit file. 

FCRA 611 requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information and remove unverifiable accounts. 

Despite providing notice of identity theft and disputing the account, the bureaus have not complied with these provisions. The continued reporting of this fraudulent account is a violation of my rights under federal law. 

I demand that this fraudulent XXXX account be removed from my credit report immediately and not be reinserted without full verification in compliance with the FCRA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccurate and inconsistent reporting of my closed XXXX credit card ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). The account was charged off and closed in XX/XX/XXXX, then paid/settled with a {$0.00} balance. 
Issue XXXX Inconsistent late reporting : TransUnion reports the account as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, {$0.00} balance, with no repeated late marks. 
Experian and Equifax continue to report multiple lates from XXXX and again XXXX XXXX in addition to the charge-off, which unfairly double-penalizes me. 
Issue XXXX Conflicting dates : Equifax reports last payment as XX/XX/XXXX. 
Experian reports last payment as XX/XX/XXXX. 
TransUnion reports last payment as XX/XX/XXXX, but also lists account closed on XX/XX/XXXX, which is impossible since closure occurred in XX/XX/XXXX. 
These discrepancies violate the FCRAs accuracy requirement and misrepresent the true account status.

Complaint narrative:
A fraudulent XXXX XXXX XXXX account ( XXXX ) has been appearing on my Equifax credit report. I never applied for, opened, or authorized this account. The reported balance is {$26000.00}, and the account has been charged off, which is entirely inaccurate. 

I previously disputed this account with Equifax, and it was deleted. However, it has been reinserted multiple times without proper notice, in violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). I have also contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX directly requesting verification and documentation proving I opened or authorized this account, but they have not provided any proof. 

I am a victim of identity theft and have filed an FTC Identity Theft Report. I am requesting that this account be permanently deleted from my credit report and that both Equifax and XXXX XXXX XXXX be held accountable for reporting fraudulent information.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal dispute of fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit report. These accounts were not opened, approved, or authorized by me in any capacity, and their inclusion represents false information that is harmful and misleading. Such inaccuracies misrepresent my financial record and unfairly damage my credit reputation. As a consumer, I am entitled to accurate and complete reporting. The listing of fraudulent accounts is a direct violation of that entitlement and must be corrected immediately. Allowing these false entries to remain would constitute a serious failure in maintaining fair and accurate reporting standards.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing multiple items on my TransUnion credit report that are inaccurate, unverifiable, and reported in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

TransUnion Data Breach ( XX/XX/XXXX ) TransUnion suffered a major data breach that exposed the personal information of over XXXX XXXX consumers, including Social Security numbers and dates of birth. My information was part of this breach. Despite this, TransUnion continues to report data about me without full verification or legal authorization. Mishandling disputed data in light of this breach shows gross negligence and violates my rights to privacy under 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 4 ).

Unverified Charge-Off Account Creditor : XXXX  Account # : XXXX This account is being reported as a charge-off, but TransUnion has not provided proof of an original signed agreement, billing statements, or a valid permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b. Reporting without verification violates 1681e ( b ) ( accuracy ) and 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( deletion of unverifiable data ). 

Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Creditor : XXXX XXXX Accounts in dispute : # XXXX reported late with no dates of delinquency # XXXX reported late XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX These accounts are closed, yet TransUnion continues to report derogatory payment history without producing billing statements, posting records, or proof of delivery. This is misleading, incomplete, and not compliant with Metro 2 standards or FCRA 1681e ( b ), 1681i.

Failure to Conduct Reasonable Reinvestigation My disputes are not being manually reviewed but instead processed through automated systems like e-OSCAR. This violates case law, including Cushman v. TransUnion ( 115 F.3d 220, 3d Cir. 1997 ) and Norman v. TransUnion ( E.D. Pa., 2018, settlement finalized XXXX $ XXXX ), both of which held that TransUnion must conduct reasonable, independent reinvestigations instead of relying solely on automated or furnisher responses. 

These errors are damaging my financial reputation, lowering my creditworthiness, and putting me at risk due to TransUnions negligence in safeguarding consumer data and failing to meet its legal reporting obligations.
