Complaint narrative:
I had a lease contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that ended XX/XX/year>. The lease stated to give a 60 day notice to vacate and I as informed I could have a walk through of the unit the day I moved out with office staff. I did these things as per my lease agreement with the property and the manager at the time. I gave keys back to the office and was given copies of the notice as per my request. I left thinking everything was clear and in good standing. I was NOT aware of the false charges or even the eviction that the property said they filed. I was shocked to see this on my credit report since I followed the terms of my signed lease contract. I reached out to the property manager XXXX as well as the owner XXXX XXXX and was not helped at all. Its very frustrating to have this filed against me on my credit report because I have tried to provide proof as was threatened by the manager that she will file against me in court and then charge me more fees. I just do not owe this and want this corrected. This false information agist me has caused me such emotional trauma just trying to prove that I do not owe this balance. I was denied a home loan for this and it has negatively impacted my life. Please help me get this corrected and removed from my credit report so I can move forward with my life and rebuild my credit history.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file.

The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes.

Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX  ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency.

FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information.

TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TransUnion, LLC for continuing to report multiple unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit file. My personal information was compromised in a verified data breach, and I have documentation confirming my inclusion in that breach. I have no relationship, accounts, or credit applications with the companies that initiated these inquiries, and therefore, they were made without my authorization or any permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 1681b ). 

Despite submitting disputes to TransUnion, the bureau failed to remove or verify the inquiries and instead sent a generic notice stating they were verified, without providing any proof or documentation from the creditors. This response violates my rights under FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 1681i, which require accuracy and a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information.

I am requesting that TransUnion : Immediately delete all unauthorized hard inquiries connected to my data breach ; Block any information associated with the breach under FCRA 605B ; and Provide written confirmation of the deletions and any corrective actions taken.

These inquiries continue to negatively affect my credit profile and expose me to ongoing harm from identity theft. 

Respectfully submitted, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

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:
Subject : Dispute Regarding Experian 's Alleged " Sham Investigations '' into Consumer Credit Report Disputes Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute an issue concerning the recent allegations and actions against Experian, as reported by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). According to this information, the CFPB has sued Experian in XX/XX/year> for allegedly conducting " sham investigations '' into consumer credit report disputes. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies conduct reasonable investigations when consumers dispute items on their credit reports.

As a consumer directly affected by these practices, I am concerned that my credit report disputes may not have been investigated adequately, thereby potentially affecting my credit standing unjustly. I am requesting that the CFPB provide further details and reassurances regarding the specific measures being implemented to address these violations by Experian.

Additionally, I kindly urge the CFPB to ensure there is a thorough audit of all disputed cases handled by Experian within the relevant timeframe. This is to ensure that all affected consumers, including myself, receive rightful and fair credit report evaluations.

I appreciate the steps already taken by the CFPB in fining and holding Experian accountable but believe further transparency and corrective actions are necessary to restore consumer trust and rectify any potential credit inaccuracies.

Please let me know how I can assist further in this matter or if additional documentation or information is required from my side to expedite the resolution of my dispute.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

These errors have caused me significant distress, and I demand swift resolution to ensure my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) are upheld.

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! ( list all accounts, inquiries and Pi that you couldn't put on the FTc report ). Please see the attached file.
