Complaint narrative:
I am following a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my dispute regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax constantly states that the account is accurate without providing any evidence of a through investigation. This practice violates the fair credit report act. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 


I told Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to reinvestigate these accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Collections Account, Account name : XXXX. However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for their failure to process a dispute that I submitted regarding fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Despite my submission of the required documentation, TransUnion has refused to address my dispute in accordance with both federal law and the guidelines outlined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a dispute letter via certified mail to TransUnion, identifying myself as the individual who was initiating the dispute and not a third party. I included the following supporting documentation to validate my claim of identity theft : A copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report, A copy of my Social Security card, A copy of my government-issued identification. 
These documents were sent to confirm my identity and provide evidence of the fraudulent nature of the accounts listed on my credit report. However, despite receiving the dispute letter and documentation, TransUnion has failed to process my dispute or remove the fraudulent accounts. Their refusal to take action is a violation of the regulations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires them to investigate disputes within a reasonable time frame and take appropriate action on any verified inaccuracies, especially in cases of identity theft. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), TransUnion is obligated to investigate any dispute I submit regarding information on my credit report within 30 days of receiving the dispute. As my dispute was initiated on XX/XX/year>, they are in violation of this requirement. Additionally, pursuant to Section 1681c-2, when an individual submits a report of identity theft to a credit reporting agency, that agency is required to block any fraudulent information from the credit report once the report is submitted. TransUnion has not complied with this stipulation.

I have made numerous attempts to resolve these inaccuracies by submitting disputes and providing supporting documents, but I have yet to see any action taken to correct them. This inaction has had a detrimental impact on my financial stability and has taken a severe toll on my personal health. The ongoing stress caused by these unresolved issues has made it difficult for me to focus on daily life. 

As outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report free of unverified and inaccurate information. I ask that you investigate these matters thoroughly and resolve them immediately to ensure compliance with federal regulations.
