Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Experian is knowingly reporting inaccurate, incomplete late payments and duplicative student loan tradelines in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The agency is reporting four separate tradelines from DEPT OF EDUCATION/XXXX  on my Experian credit report. These tradelines are duplicative and their reporting has severely damaged my credit score. 

I have identified the following violations : 1681e ( b ) : Failure to maintain accurate, up-to-date credit records.


1681i ( a ) : Failure to investigate and correct incomplete or unverifiable information. 1681s-2 ( b
) : Furnishers failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation after my disputes. 
Duplication : Two pairs of tradelines with identical open dates and original creditors but different balances and payment terms creating a false impression of more debt. 
Chronological Errors : They reported XXXX  day late payments after showing the accounts current, which is logically impossible and violates Metro 2 reporting guidelines. 
These violations have caused my credit score to drop significantly, and as a result : I have been denied credit card approvals, I have been denied auto financing, I have experienced emotional distress and XXXX  due to being punished for debt that is inaccurately reported.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

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:
After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section.

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint against Experian for knowingly and willfully reporting inaccurate, misleading, and unverified information on my credit file, specifically regarding a XXXX  XXXX XXXX account that was paid and closed in XXXX. 

Despite the closure, Experian continues to report this account as a Charge-Off as recently as XX/XX/XXXX, with derogatory updates appearing in XX/XX/XXXX. This is materially false and misleading. There has been no new activity on this account since XXXX, making this a clear case of re-aging and furnishing of inaccurate data, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681e ( b ), 1681i ( a ), and 1681s-2 ( b ). 

I disputed this item with Experian in XX/XX/XXXX, but Experian failed to provide any documentation to support the derogatory status. They marked the reinvestigation as completed on July 16, 2025, but failed to provide a Method of Verification ( MOV ) as required under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). No valid documentation was provided no signed contract, billing history, original creditor validation, or proof of ownership. Furthermore, no IRS Form 1099-C was issued to support the alleged charge-off balance of {$420.00}, which calls into question whether the debt was actually forgiven or canceled. 

These actions are deceptive and materially harmful to my credit standing. Other credit bureaus do not report this account in the same manner, which indicates Experian is either failing to verify the information properly or acting negligently. 

Experian has ignored multiple formal demands and continues to violate federal credit reporting obligations, damaging my credit and financial wellbeing. I request the CFPB to intervene, require Experian to provide a full evidentiary audit, and ensure this derogatory tradeline is removed if it can not be verified according to the FCRA and Metro 2 standards.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XX/XX/year> American Lending and Finance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Subject : Dispute of Vehicle Repossession Based on Violations of the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 ) To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the recent repossession of my vehicle, [ Year, Make, and Model of Vehicle, VIN : XXXX  ], which occurred on [ Date of Repossession ]. I believe this action was unlawful due to your companys failure to provide adequate and accurate disclosures as required under the Truth in Lending Act, codified at 15 U.S. Code 1601 and related provisions.

15 U.S. Code 1601 states that the purpose of the Act is to assure a meaningful disclosure of credit terms so that consumers can compare credit options and fully understand their financial obligations. Upon review of my original loan agreement, I have reason to believe that the following TILA-related violations occurred : Failure to clearly disclose the full finance charge, annual percentage rate ( APR ), and total payment obligation at the time of the contract ; Failure to provide a proper notice of default and right to cure prior to repossession, as may be required under both federal law and applicable state laws ; Lack of transparency or misleading representations concerning late fees, payment deadlines, or the consequences of missed payments. 

Because these violations impair my ability to make informed credit decisions, any enforcement actions including repossession taken based on these undisclosed or deceptively presented terms are, in my view, unlawful and should be reversed.

I hereby request the following actions : Immediate investigation into the disclosures and procedures followed in my loan agreement and repossession. 

Reversal of the repossession and return of the vehicle, or compensation for its value if return is not feasible. 

Removal of any derogatory information related to this incident from my credit report. 

A written explanation outlining your findings and actions taken in response to this dispute. 

If this issue is not resolved within a reasonable time frame, I reserve the right to pursue further action, including submitting a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) or pursuing legal remedies. 

Please respond in writing within XXXX  days of receipt of this letter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
