Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out because I recently discovered a credit inquiry on my report that I absolutely did NOT authorize. This inquiry was made online without my knowledge or permission, which is a clear act of fraud. 

This is a serious violation of my rights and is damaging to my credit profile. I want to be very clear : I never initiated or approved this inquiry. It was done without my consent, and I demand that it be removed from my credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I was shocked to discover that my credit report has been accessed without my consent. Applications were submitted in my name, and companies pulled my credit without my knowledge or authorization. I do not recognize these inquiries, nor did I apply to or engage with these entities in any way. This is a clear violation of my rights as a consumer, and its deeply insulting as someone who respects the law and takes financial responsibility seriously.

Complaint narrative:
In 2023 we moved from XXXX to XXXX before doing so we established our move date with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, upon the day we paid the {$71.00} bill that a representative said was our final bill. We paid that and we were told we were good to go and didn't have to worry about anything else with them, thanked us for being a customer, and the call ended. 

Now I am trying to get a roof over our heads and I find out through a low income apartment complex that as of LAST WEEK a collection of {$610.00} has been added to my credit report and we have to remain homeless due to this. 
This I speak with the collection agency today, they gave me an email to email what the account shows for XXXX  XXXX XXXX which is a XXXX balance as well as a letter of credit that they gave me in regards to the account also stating no balance is owed/due. 
If they kept it on that is fraud, and now not only am i having to deal with false information on my credit I also have the emotional/physical distress this puts me and my family in and would like a resolution. I know for a fact I do not owe {$610.00} on a utility bill and it should not be on my credit report as a collection. And will be looking into an attorney as well but am told submitting this complaint is also a step to take.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
" 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 TILA XXXX Code XXXX since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( XXXX ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This account was initially charged off in [ XXXX ]. However, since that date, the payment history section has continued to show monthly updates as charged off. This is factually incorrect and misleading. A charged-off account should not reflect ongoing monthly updates in the payment history after the initial charge-off date. This practice inaccurately re-ages the debt, misrepresents its status, and may affect the statute of limitations., which requires that all information reported be complete and accurate. I respectfully request that XXXX conduct a full investigation into this matter. Due to the ongoing and inaccurate reporting, I am demanding that this account be permanently deleted from my credit file. Please provide written confirmation of the results of your investigation and notify me of any actions taken. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is being filed against TransUnion for continuing to report inaccurate, outdated, and unverifiable information on my credit report. Despite my formal disputes and demands under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), TransUnion has not fulfilled its legal obligations to investigate and correct these entries. The reporting violates FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 611.

Improper Charge-Off Reporting Several accounts are reported as charge-offs, yet TransUnion has not provided proof of the validity of these debts. Furthermore, many of these debts have likely been written off for tax purposes by the original creditors. Continuing to report these accounts as collectible or delinquent after a tax write-off is misleading, inaccurate, and potentially unlawful. This misrepresentation damages my credit standing unfairly.
