Company: CCF Intermediate Holdings LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am a XXXX consumer receiving SSDI with a fixed monthly income of {$900.00}. I have a motor vehicle title loan with TitleMax. My vehicle is essential for daily living and medical needs. 

I have repeatedly contacted TitleMax by email and phone requesting assistance or guidance because the renewal amount has increased beyond my ability to pay on a fixed XXXX income. I am not refusing to pay and have been attempting to communicate in good faith to understand available options. 

Despite multiple attempts, I have not received a meaningful response from TitleMax. Charges continue to increase while I am actively trying to resolve the account. I have filed a complaint with the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner and am seeking assistance to obtain a response, clear information on available options, and fair handling of my account given my XXXX and fixed income. 

I am requesting that TitleMax respond to my communications and work with me in good faith to prevent unnecessary escalation while I continue to make reasonable efforts to resolve the loan.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to login to my Experian account to unfreeze my credit report. As has happened in the past, the site did not accept my password. I attempted to login using my SSN and phone number, but the site did not accept my phone number ( which I have had since XXXX ). There are no options on the site to login using anything other than your password or phone number and you must use your phone number to reset your password. 

I called the provided number for Experian membership, which is an automated message and took me in circles until I gave up. I called the Experian business line, which I found online. Two agents transferred me back to the recorded message. On the third attempt I asked the agent to not transfer me back to the recorded message. He told me he can " only transfer, '' there was no XXXX, supervisor, or other agent I could speak to, and insisted that he could only transfer my call and could only transfer to the " membership department. '' He would not answer the questions I asked as to whether he was aware of whether there were any live agents employed by the " membership department '' or if it was only the recorded message and said he could not transfer me to anywhere other than the " membership department. '' I am still unable to access my credit report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

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:
I am disputing this verified account pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I request that this inaccurate and unauthorized account be blocked or removed immediately. 
I have attached my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX as evidence. Under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, 1681c-2, and 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies must block or remove inaccurate and unauthorized information within four ( XXXX ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. Despite my prior complaint and attempts to resolve this, the following inaccurate and unauthorized account was verified on my credit report : Account Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX This verification is causing significant harm to my credit and financial opportunities. I have requested verification and contract copies from the reporting company, but after XXXX days, received no response. This account was previously removed by other agencies due to lack of verification. This simple verification is illegal, as no evidence or written certification of my authorization for this account has been obtained. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the reinsertion or verification of previously deleted information requires written certification from the data furnisher confirming accuracy, and the consumer must be notified. This was not done in my case, violating federal law. 
I urge the CFPB to ensure TRANSUNION complies with the law by blocking this inaccurate and unauthorized account immediately and confirming the action taken.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute fraudulent information listed on my credit report, pursuant to my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request the immediate block and removal of this information. For evidence, I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ). 
As stipulated by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, upon the filing of an identity theft report, consumer reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as stemming from the theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following items on my report are a direct result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX  - XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XXXX, XXXX XXXX  - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX In compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that these accounts be immediately frozen on my credit report. This block must remain in effect for a period of no less than one year, subject to extension, and during this time, no information related to these fraudulent accounts may be reported.

I have previously contacted the bureau on multiple occasions regarding these accounts, yet the matter remains unresolved. The continued presence of these inaccurate items is causing significant personal and financial hardship by obstructing my ability to secure financing for a home and other essential financial tools. Furthermore, these specific accounts have already been removed by other major credit bureaus after failing verification, which underscores the inaccuracy of their reporting.

In accordance with my rights, I also requested verification documents and contract copies from the furnishing companies for these accounts. After the legally permissible period has elapsed ( over 60 days ), I have received no response. Given the lack of verification and their fraudulent nature, I respectfully urge you to facilitate the immediate and permanent removal of these accounts from my credit file.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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 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.
