Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
According to this section of the FCRA : The term consumer report does not include ( A ) any report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. 

As this entry reflects a transactional experience between myself and a couple of Creditors, I assert that such information may fall outside the scope of a consumer report as defined by the FCRA. Additionally, the information being reported is either inaccurate or unverifiable, which makes its inclusion in my credit report improper under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2.

I request that your agency investigate this matter and verify the accuracy and legality of this reported item. If the information can not be verified or does not meet the legal standards for inclusion in my credit report, I ask that the 30-day late payment entry be removed immediately.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against EQUIFAX regarding the inclusion of inaccurate and fraudulent accounts on my credit report, which I believe constitute clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ). My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX. My date of birth is XX/XX/year>, and my Social Security Number is XXXX. Upon reviewing my EQUIFAX credit report, I discovered several accounts that are not only inaccurate but also fraudulent in nature. These accounts were included in my credit file without my knowledge or consent, which directly violates the FCRAs requirement that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information they report.

Specifically, under Section 1681e ( b ) of the FCRA, EQUIFAX has failed to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information it reports is accurate.

Furthermore, under Section 1681c-2 of the FCRA, which mandates the removal of outdated or inaccurate accounts, these fraudulent entries should have been investigated and removed immediately. In addition, the inclusion of these fraudulent accounts also appears to be a violation of FACTA regulations, which safeguard consumers by requiring creditors and credit reporting agencies to adopt accurate and effective identity theft protection procedures. I did not open any of these accounts, nor was I notified about them, indicating a severe lapse in compliance with FACTAs requirements for consumer notification and security. I have already taken steps to address these issues by contacting EQUIFAX directly, submitting a formal dispute, and providing supporting documentation, including my drivers license, proof of address, and FTC report number XXXX. Despite these efforts, EQUIFAX has failed to rectify the inaccuracies or remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit report, which is a clear violation of its obligations under both the FCRA and FACTA. This failure has had a significant negative impact on my creditworthiness and financial stability. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) intervene to ensure that EQUIFAX promptly removes the fraudulent and inaccurate accounts from my credit report. Furthermore, I request that EQUIFAX provide written confirmation once these corrections have been made. I also ask the CFPB to thoroughly investigate EQUIFAX 's handling of my dispute and ensure its full compliance with FCRA and FACTA regulations.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TransUnion for multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding several accounts on my credit report. Despite disputing these accounts over 60 days ago and requesting proper validation, TransUnion has failed to verify or validate the accounts within the legally required 30-day period. This ongoing failure to comply with the FCRA has caused harm to my credit profile, financial opportunities, and emotional well-being.

Impact : These inaccuracies remain on my credit report, harming my creditworthiness and financial standing. 
Failure to Ensure Accurate Reporting Violation : FCRA 607 ( b ) mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure maximum possible accuracy. By continuing to report these accounts without verification, TransUnion is not fulfilling this obligation.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
