Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items.

2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated.

3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case.

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : Cushman v. TransUnion Corp. ( 1997 ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers.

Ramirez v. TransUnion LLC ( 2021 ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA.

Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft.

2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed.

3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for failing to address my credit disputes within the legally required timeframe. In XXXX and XX/XX/2024, I sent multiple dispute requests to each of these credit bureaus, seeking investigations into inaccurate information on my credit reports. 

Despite the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) mandating a response within 30 days, I have yet to receive any formal acknowledgment, investigation results, or supporting documentation from any of them. Their failure to respond constitutes a clear violation of federal law.

I am urging the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to intervene and ensure that the credit bureaus uphold their legal obligations. Since they have failed to meet the 30-day compliance requirement, I am demanding the immediate removal of the disputed items from my credit reports, along with official written confirmation that the necessary corrections have been made.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Mr. Cooper took over our loan in a transfer on XX/XX/year>2024. They have not reported our mortgage to the credit bureaus. This caused our credit score to drop over XXXX points. The credit bureaus only see the mortgage closed from XXXX although it does say it is a transfer. The credit bureaus said nothing they can do until Mr. Cooper reports the mortgage. Because our credit score dropped we had XXXX other creditors lower our credit limit and XXXX closed our account. They all said it was because of the drastic credit score drop. Mr. Cooper has been lying and telling us different reasons why they have not reported and tried blaming XXXX and the credit bureaus. We are getting the run around and our credit is now ruined. They kept telling us when they decide to report it will come back but no one can get our credit limits or closed account restored. They need to fix this immediately

Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the ongoing inaccurate reporting of XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. Despite my previous attempts to resolve this matter, the erroneous information associated with this account has not been removed, and the dispute remains unresolved. 

This issue has become a recurring problem where Experian continues to falsely investigate accounts, resulting in persistent errors on my credit report.

I request that you immediately review and correct the inaccurate information related to XXXX XXXX XXXX and remove it from my credit report. Should this issue not be resolved in a timely manner, I will be notifying the CFPB to further escalate this matter. 

Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide me with a written update on the steps you are taking to correct this issue. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter.
