Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a collection account that appears on my credit report from XXXX, account number : XXXX. This account is inaccurate because it is either not mine, has already been paid, is reported with incorrect information, or is the result of identity theft. 

I previously submitted a dispute to the credit bureaus and/or the collection agency, but the account was not corrected or removed. I am requesting CFPB 's assistance to investigate this matter and ensure compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

This negative reporting is causing harm to my credit, and I am requesting that the collection account be deleted or corrected immediately. 


Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Despite submitting an official FTC Identity Theft Report, supporting documentation, and written disputes under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, XXXX reinserted the fraudulent Goldman Sachs/Apple Card tradeline without notifying me in writing as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). This account was previously removed due to confirmed identity theft, yet XXXX violated the FCRA by allowing its reinsertion without the legally mandated notice and without new certification of accuracy from the furnisher.

This account was not opened by me, and Goldman Sachs has failed to provide a signed application or any proof linking me to the digital account creation. The burden of proof lies with the furnisher and CRA, not the identity theft victim. XXXX XXXX XXXX  complied. XXXX did not. 

Their actions have caused ongoing credit harm, stress, and financial obstructionall after I followed the exact legal steps required under federal law. Their noncompliance with the FCRA is not only negligent but now verging on willful, subjecting them to civil liability under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
There are four collection accounts currently being reported by Experian that should not be on my credit report. One is from XXXX XXXX XXXX with the original creditor listed as XXXXXXXX XXXX  Account # : XXXX. Another is from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX. The remaining two are also from XXXX XXXX, both associated with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, Account # : XXXX and XXXX. I have never received proper validation for any of these accounts. I have not been provided with a signed agreement, a full itemization of the alleged balances, or any documentation proving that these third-party debt collectors are legally authorized to collect or report these accounts. Despite this, Experian has added all four to my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or required validation. Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), debt collectors are required to provide
full and accurate validation of a debt before furnishing it to any credit reporting agency. I was never given a meaningful opportunity to dispute these debts before they were reported, which violates 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). Reporting these accounts to Experian without proper validation o
r notice is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Furthermore, Experian is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain only information that meets the standard of maximum possible accuracy. These accounts fail to meet that standard. They are inaccurate, unverified, and should never have been accepted without documentation.

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 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I filed formal disputes with the credit bureau concerning inaccurate and unverifiable accounts on my credit report.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ), the bureau is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within 30 days, consult with the original furnishers, and provide me with written verification or remove the information if it is unverifiable.

Instead, the bureau appears to rely on automated systems ( such as eOSCAR ) without requesting or reviewing original source documents, in violation of its duty to maintain maximum possible accuracy under FCRA 607 ( b ) / 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ).

The CFPBs XX/XX/year> enforcement action against XXXX ( resulting in a {$15.00} XXXX penalty ) confirms that these automated or superficial checks do not meet the reinvestigation requirements of the law. 
I requested detailed information about their reinvestigation process and copies of any verification or certification they obtained from the furnishers. They failed to provide this documentation and have continued reporting the disputed items without proof.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
