Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute with Lexis Nexis when XXXX pulled a report for Commercial insurance, I was advised the dispute would take 30 days. I never heard back. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I applied for personal auto insurance with XXXX and was denied coverage because Lexis Nexis is reporting an accident dated XX/XX/XXXX ( where I was rear ended ) ; it is reporting twice ( once showing at fault ) another showing ( not at fault ). There was only 1 accident I was driving a XXXX XXXX and was rear ended by a XXXX  lady ( driving her dad 's car ) who had XXXX. They paid my damages and claim. I attached that letter from XXXX to the dispute with LexisNexis in XXXX of XXXX and again today. I advised them that it is a duplicate report and it should show only 1 time as " not at fault '' They have told me that XXXX ( which was my insurance at the time ) is reporting this rear end accident as my fault ( I also contacted XXXX at that time ). At this point I don't know who needs to fix it and get it resolved however I can tell you that since I was rear ended it was clearly NOT MY FAULT. My insurance ( XXXX never paid out anything for this accident ). The other party 's insurance ( XXXX " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' ) paid the claim. I can attach proof. This is having a continuous negative impact on my and my ability to get insurance and get insurance at affordable rates. 

Also an accident dated XX/XX/XXXX ( Comprehensive Claim ) where I was hit by a deer and had XXXX XXXX XXXX is now being reported as an " at fault accident '' for me. These erroneous reports are making it nearly impossible to get and maintain affordable auto insurance. I am not sure how to stop insurance companies from reporting incorrect information or how to go about getting it corrected because no one seems to do anything. 
Where does the burden of proof fall? I have submitted proof of the claim for XX/XX/XXXX, the accident XX/XX/XXXX is clearly noted as a comprehensive claim ( deer ).

Complaint narrative:
Transunion this is my final notice to your company. The creditor and your credit reporting agency has previously acknowledged your inability to provide original documentation that substantiates my ownership of this debt relating to the account on my credit report XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. So much so that XXXX and XXXX have deleted this account from my credit report. I have consistently maintained that I never opened an account with the company, and I have provided substantial evidence that my personal information was compromised in the XXXX data breach. This raises serious concerns regarding the accuracy of the information on my credit report. Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is imperative that all reported information is accurate, verifiable, and substantiated by the creditor. Given that you are unable to furnish the original documents confirming my association with this debt, I must assert that you are in violation of the FCRA. I kindly request the immediate removal of this account from my credit report within the next 7 days. Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no alternative but to pursue legal action to rectify this matter. I believe it is in our mutual interest to address this situation promptly and amicably to avoid any further legal action. The account is XXXX XXXX  XXXX. Please see the attached dispute letter dated and time stamped for your reference. Also review my credit report to see that XXXX and XXXX deleted the account.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several items that appear to be unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, or questionable. These items were not thoroughly verified or reported correctly by the respective agencies involved. As a result, I am deeply concerned about the negative impact they have on my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 

These items are a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically under 15 U.S Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S Code 1681i ( 5 ). These provisions mandate 100 % accuracy in the reporting of information on my credit report. It is disheartening to see that these requirements have not been met, leaving me with an unjustified burden. 

The Credit Reporting Agencies claim that these accounts were properly investigated and came back as verified. However, I am puzzled as to how this can be true when several inaccuracies are evident in my report. It raises concerns about the thoroughness and effectiveness of their investigation procedures. 

As a conscientious consumer, I kindly request detailed information regarding the steps your agency took to ensure that these items were reported with 100 % accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C 1681i ( 7 ) Method of Verification - Description of reinvestigation procedure. Transparency in this matter is crucial for the fair resolution of my complaint.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate.

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services. 

XXXX. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. 

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes. 

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus
