Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my TransUnion consumer credit report, I discovered multiple accounts being collected, maintained, and reported without my written authorization and without any lawful permissible purpose. I never provided TransUnion with verbal or written instructions to include these accounts on my credit file. Despite this, TransUnion continues to report the accounts and disclose my consumer information to third parties. I submitted formal disputes to TransUnion requesting a reinvestigation and specifically requested proof of written authorization or other documentation establishing a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). TransUnion failed to provide any written authorization, validation, or competent evidence demonstrating that these accounts were reported lawfully or accurately. Additionally, several of the disputed accounts contain inflated balances, high balances, and charge-off amounts that include improper, excessive, or unauthorized fees, resulting in inaccurate and misleading reporting. By continuing to publish unverified and inaccurate information, TransUnion has failed to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and has furnished consumer reports without a permissible purpose in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b. These actions have caused ongoing harm by negatively impacting my creditworthiness and financial standing.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, 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 and Equifax 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 and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Klarna AB
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I attempted to make a purchase with XXXX using my Klarna Card ( subscription ). The payment was declined, no order was created, no tickets were issued, and no payment was captured. I also attempted a purchase with Klarnas One-Time Card, which was later automatically released and refunded, confirming that XXXX never captured funds. 

I immediately contacted both XXXX and Klarna by phone the same day. XXXX confirmed there is no record of any purchase under my name and that they can not issue any documentation or refund because no transaction ever occurred. Despite this, Klarna created an invoice, reactivated my statement, and is demanding payment for a purchase that never existed. 

As a result of Klarnas actions, {$130.00} of my funds remain unavailable, causing financial discrepancies and stress. I provided Klarna with all relevant documentation, including XXXX written confirmation that no purchase exists, yet Klarna has failed to release the authorization or correct my statement. 

This is not a refund issue ; it is an authorization error and billing dispute that Klarna has failed to resolve despite clear evidence. The continued billing and account discrepancy is unfair, illegal, and causing financial harm. I request the immediate release of all held funds, correction of my statement, and confirmation that my account and credit standing will not be negatively affected.

After 16 minutes of refusal to take action to protect myself information, I said I was very disappointed and would do something else to protect us.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

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:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) thatDispute2025 $ you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple disputes submitted with supporting documentation, the bureau has continued to report inaccurate and unverifiable information. The bureau has shown a pattern of willful noncompliance with the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681n. Under 1681i, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and delete or correct information that can not be verified. Instead, the disputed accounts and inquiries were re-reported without competent verification. The bureaus persistence in publishing unverifiable data after repeated notice reflects reckless disregard of its statutory duties, resulting in ongoing consumer harm, including adverse credit decisions and increased costs. This pattern meets the willfulness threshold under 1681n and warrants immediate deletion of the unverifiable items, corrective disclosures, and appropriate remedial measures.
