Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 609 by neglecting to properly verify the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in my credit file. Despite my lawful request for a full reinvestigation of every item in my report, the bureau has either failed to provide adequate verification or continues to report information that remains unverified. This constitutes a clear violation of my rights under federal law and calls into question the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of my consumer report.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing an inaccurate and unverifiable collection account being furnished by XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$2300.00}. 

Each credit bureau is reporting different information and account numbers for the same XXXX XXXX collection : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Equifax : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These differences prove that the account is not identical or verifiable, which violates FCRA 1681e ( b ) ( failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy ). 

The bureaus also report different dates of first delinquency, open dates, and update dates, which shows conflicting data for the same debt. This further proves the information is unreliable and unverifiable. 

I have already disputed this account with each bureau, but they verified it through automated data matching without obtaining original documentation from XXXX XXXX. This violates FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) because the investigation was not reasonable and lacked competent evidence. 

Under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), any unverifiable information must be promptly deleted, and under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ), furnishers are required to report the true Date of First Delinquency accurately. These sections are being violated. 

Requested Resolution : Require the bureau to obtain full verification from XXXX XXXX, including the wet-ink signature contract and itemized billing statements, or Delete the XXXX XXXX XXXX account entirely from my credit report for failure to verify. 

The continued reporting of this unverifiable collection violates FCRA 1681e ( b ), 611 ( 1681i ), and 623 ( a ) ( 5 ).

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX 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 XXXX 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.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). 

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.
