Consumer complaint received 2022-08-09 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is the fourth time I have contacted your company and you have still failed to delete the disputed accounts your company could not verify. After this letter, be advised that I intend to pursue litigation for the damages your company has brought to me and my family. Based off the fact that your company has yet to forward any documents to me, show me any proof, and the fact that its already been 5 months so you have CLEARLY violated Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) and continue to show your blatant disregard for Federal Law. The Federal case law states that, Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. Thats all your company has been doing the past couple of months and it is against the law and clearly in violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). I also asked you to give me the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of these accounts but you ignored this request as well which is another violation of Federal Law! The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. Just remember when we go to litigation and your company is required to produce these documents along with an affidavit swearing under oath that these are the true and correct documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts. So once again, please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. I request that you do this immediately, which I am sure you are already aware of. 

You failed to verify & validate all data for the following accounts, please remove IMMEDIATELY : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; and Account Name : XXXX XXXX, Account Number : XXXX Reason : pls verify and validate all data for this account, every notation, dates, and balances, whether reported or not and I would like to be provided proof the method for which you are verifying as well as the exact details that match because without exact matches this account must be removed immediately as per FCRA. On top of it, this is a collection account, and the collector needs to prove that this debt can survive collection, that they own this debt and the extent to which they can collect this debt and that all their details match the original creditor. Without it, must be removed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Five years ago, I left XXXX XXXX in order to care for several family members. This resulted in a government overpayment of health insurance/leave benefits. The payroll processor, U.S. Dep't of Agric. Nat'l Finance Center ( NFC ), would eventually send the bill to collections and report it to the Treasury Dept. Bureau for Fiscal Services ( BFS ). I have been on a payment plan for the past 2.5 years. Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, NFC began garnishing my wages for $ XXXX. Despite this, NFC and BFS REFUSE to update this information to the credit bureaus. Every month, they report it as continuously delinquent ( XXXX days late ). I have disputed this multiple times to no avail. The only action they have done is to update the balance, while continuing to report the account as late.Today, I was denied a mortgage due to " late payments '' and " delinquency on federal debt ''. The phone # s listed for NFC on each credit report are all out of service and have been for months. I have called every number listed ; it either rings as being out of service or there's no sound on the other line. BFS is a black hole. I tried contacting them in XXXX only to be told they had no record of the account I was referencing. I later discovered they were attempting to send the same account they were garnishing my wages for to another debt collector. When I finally got them on the phone ( just one time ), I explained that it was excessive to garnish wages for almost $ XXXX AND simultaneously send it to a bill collector. Their response was that " It gets the money faster. '' Is there any recourse at all? At a time when I'm trying to purchase my first home and XXXX ownership rates are already at such lows, this seems incredibly abusive.

Complaint narrative:
In 2014 myself and my Fiance were staying at XXXX XXXX XXXX for an extended period. My Experian credit report shows an amount due of XXXX which is impossible. The reason this is impossible, and you can check yourselves is that XXXX XXXX XXXX is a XXXX / XXXX. You can stay a day, a week, a month or longer, but as with any location such as this you pre-pay meaning if I plan on staying 6 days I pay fot 6 days before I stay. 

We stayed week to week and paid I believe every Thursday. How can I own money? Are they staying I refused to leave for and amount equal to 4 weeks? I recall the cost being {$220.00} per week. The location had electronic locks that could have been de-activated, are they claiming I refused to leave? This amount is pure fraud and has also been reaged since 2014 was the last time I stayed there.
