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.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the debt associated with XXXX XXXX  on my credit report, as the charges are invalid due to XXXX 's failure to uphold the agreed-upon terms. Below is a timeline of events detailing the dispute : XX/XX/year> : XXXX employee XXXX XXXX visited my home to discuss adding a spotlight and camera. I signed a release for XXXX to run a soft credit check, contingent upon my agreement after the trial period. However, XXXX immediately charged my debit card, despite the trial terms. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX : Due to this issue, XXXX extended my trial period to XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I notified her that I did not want the equipment, and she assured me a technician would call to remove it. That call never came. 
Unauthorized XXXX XXXX : I later discovered that XXXX XXXX had been added to my credit report, and unauthorized charges were being withdrawn from my account. I was forced to stop payments after XXXX directed me back to XXXX for resolution. 
Unresolved Communications with XXXX  : After multiple emails and calls, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX legal assistant ) finally responded on XX/XX/XXXX, but ignored my XXXX concerns. I followed up on XX/XX/XXXX about the past-due XXXX account, receiving no reply. 
Equipment Removal Without Resolution : On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX technician XXXX removed the equipment, yet my monthly billing was never adjusted, and XXXX failed to pay off the XXXX XXXX despite XXXX XXXX stating that they would. 
Ongoing Billing and Credit Impact : As of XX/XX/XXXX, my billing still reflects {$66.00} instead of {$58.00}, and XXXX XXXX  remains unresolved. When I contacted XXXX, I was wrongly told that I am responsible for the financing, contradicting previous discussions. I followed up again with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, but received no response. 
This debt is invalid and should be removed from my credit report immediately. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax Information Services LLC regarding persistent issues with my online account, which have resulted in significant inaccuracies in my credit report and ongoing frustration in resolving these matters. **Details of the Complaint : ** 1. **Online Portal Issues** : Since XX/XX/year> I have been unable to refresh or update my credit report through my Equifax online account. An error message appears each time I attempt to access my credit score, preventing me from viewing or managing my credit profile effectively. 2. **Unverified Accounts** : Despite my ongoing efforts to dispute certain accounts, Equifax continues to report them as verified without providing any supporting documentation. These accounts are unique to Equifax, as they do not appear on my reports from XXXX or XXXX. XXXX. **Customer Service Attempts** : I have called Equifax numerous times to address these concerns. Each time, I have been assured that the issues would be resolved, yet no effective changes have been made. The lack of follow-up or resolution has left me feeling frustrated and powerless. Given these circumstances, I believe Equifax is not complying with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly regarding the accuracy of reporting and the need for timely resolution of disputes. As a consumer, I expect that my credit information is handled with accuracy and integrity, and I am deeply concerned that these issues are adversely affecting my credit score and financial well-being. I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that Equifax addresses these issues promptly. I appreciate your attention to this serious matter and look forward to your response. Attached are screen shots of error code and letter of the fraudulent accounts Thank you for your time and assistance.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Credit Reporting Agency, I am writing to formally file a complaint against TRANSUNION concerning ongoing inaccuracies in my credit report, which I believe violate several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, I initiated a dispute regarding incorrect information related to ( XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Despite providing supporting documentation that substantiated my claim, TRANSUNION responded on XX/XX/XXXX indicating that they would not remove the disputed entry. This decision raises concerns about the agencys adherence to its responsibilities under Section 607 ( b ) of the FCRA, which mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information they provide. 
In considering this situation, I would like to highlight the legal principle of XXXX. XXXX prevents a party from asserting a claim or fact that is contrary to a position they have previously taken, particularly if this inconsistency would harm another party who has relied on the original position. In my case, I believe that the actions of TRANSUNION may constitute a form of XXXX, as the agency 's initial acknowledgment of my dispute and the accuracy of my evidence should logically inform their subsequent actions regarding the accuracy of my credit report. 
Moreover, I am concerned about my privacy rights under the Privacy Act of XXXX, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The presence of inaccurate information in my credit report not only misrepresents my financial status but also jeopardizes my ability to secure loans or other financial services. I believe that my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692, may also be infringed, as misleading information could lead to negative repercussions in debt collection processes.

My concerns remain unaddressed despite my attempts to resolve this issue directly with TRANSUNION through Certified Mail.
