Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I had sent letters to Experian for them to accurately verify accounts on file and they have not done so. I sent a letter to them and they sent an email back to me asking me to send my ID and other verification to complete dispute process. I sent the ID, Bank statement, name, social, address for past two years, and date of birth that you said was limited regarding the dispute on XX/XX/2024 and I have proof of that as well, the second written notice on XX/XX/2024, and copy of my social security card. I sent this over on XX/XX/2024 at XXXX XXXX, which I have proof, but never sent the updated information or how, when, who, what confirmed/verified/updated the account. I started getting notifications about my disputes in question and things still being reported through my email that I sent certified mail to them asking them to accurately verify and request. These type of things hurts my credit score and credit report tremendously and lowers my character.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have read their correspondence regarding my filed CFPB complaints back in XX/XX/2024. 

TransUnion stated that these account were verified on their end but ; XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX- Account # : XXXX-Paid-off account & must be updated to current status! 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX  - Account # : XXXX XXXXInaccurate Report! NO longer reporting to XXXX. 

XXXX stated that the account below is NOT currently reporting on the XXXX credit file, however, Im still seeing that this account is being reported on my XXXX credit file as per XXXX XXXX latest and updated credit report. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX  - Account # : XXXX - Inaccurate Report! 

Lastly, XXXX stated that these account were verified on their end but ; XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account # : XXXX -NO longer reporting to XXXX & TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - Account # : XXXX XXXXInaccurate Report! NO longer reporting to XXXX I would like to inquire about the method they employ to verify and validate the authenticity of the above-stated accounts? Why are some categories or information provided on my credit report still different from other credit bureaus? How did they conduct their investigation to ensure applicable and fair results? I still do not observe complete accuracy in their verification method. 

According to Congress, if an account displays inaccurate details and the consumer disputes it, requests an investigation, and, following the investigation, the same inaccurate information persists in your furnished reports, then the disputed accounts should be subject to removal. 

The significant question here is, why do the same inaccuracies appear concurrently in both of their previous and recent credit reports? Shouldn't all credit bureaus be reporting and obtaining the same information from a single furnisher? 

I need clarification on this matter and I insist that the above-mentioned inaccurate accounts MUST be completely removed from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
While checking my personal credit report, I noticed inquiries made by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did not authorize anyone employed by these companies to make an inquiry and view my credit report. They have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 1681b ( c ). They are not legally entitled to make the inquiry. This is a serious breach of my privacy rights. I request that they mail me a copy of my signed authorization form that gave them the right to view my credit within five ( 5 ) business days so that I can verify its validity. If they can not provide me with proof that I authorized them to view my credit report, then I am demanding that you contact the credit bureaus immediately and have them remove the unauthorized hard inquiry immediately. I also request that you remove my personal information from their records. Failure to comply with my requests within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days will be my evidence used in Federal Court of these companies ' willful noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681n ] and I will be seeking statutory damages, punitive damages and the cost of the action and reasonable attorney fees.

Complaint narrative:
Already spent time on having a XXXX issued, as well as a XXXX on the fraudulent party. Apparently, Self is in the business of theft themselves wasting the time of someone who judges fraud for a living. Incompetent and incapable attempting to waste my time further with internal " policies '' when the fraudulent bad actor is up for disbarment. Self Financial should learn the law instead of rote memorization of policies that are inferior to a legal application. I already entered a judgment of fraud for {$350.00} with the burden of proof on the false claimant if property rights. Self Financial can't even correctly define the burden of proof and think they actually have the ability to enact fraud judgments without a relevant judicial license.

Complaint narrative:
I tried to unfreeze my credit profile with Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. It would not let me and it said to call XXXX. I proceeded to call this number and verify my identity through a robot, a human interaction, and take pictures of my ID. 

After all of this Equifax tried to claim they could not verify my identity despite me submitting my government issued ID, social security number, address information, and all of the information they asked for. 

This much hassle to simply unfreeze a credit bureau is simply unacceptable. I was able to unfreeze XXXX and XXXX in a matter of minutes.
