Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against TRANSUNION for the inaccurate and incorrect reporting of the following tradelines : Creditor Name : U S DEPT OF EDXXXX Account Number ( Partial ) : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Reported : {$870.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX  ) Account Number ( Partial ) : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$1400.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX date opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX BALANCE {$3800.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date opened XXXX. XXXX, XXXX BALANCE {$10000.00}. These accounts are being reported inaccurately for the following reasons : Balance Inaccuracy : The reported balance is not verifiable, and I have received no recent disbursements or communications validating this amount. Under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers are required to report accurate and complete information. Lack of Permissible Purpose : I have not authorized or consented to the reporting of this account under FCRA 604 ( a ), and this tradeline appears without my direct engagement or benefit. Metro 2 Non Compliance : The date formatting and status codes for this tradeline do not align with Metro 2 guidelines and appear to be improperly formatted, further impairing automated dispute resolution and scoring. I have submitted disputes to TRANSUNION, but no reasonable investigation was conducted as required under FCRA 1681i ( a ). The failure to correct or remove this information constitutes willful noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, entitling me to relief under FCRA 616 and 617. Violations Summary : FCRA 1681i ( a ) : Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation ; FCRA 623 ( a ) : Furnishing inaccurate or unverifiable information ; FCRA 604 ( a ) : No permissible purpose to furnish or maintain incorrect data ; Metro 2 Reporting Standards : Inconsistent and nonstandard coding ; Possible Duplicate Reporting inflating debt and damaging credit profile ; No verification of consumer responsibility or legal obligation.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX Social Security Number : [ Private ] Date of Birth : [ Private ] Subject : Request for Blocking of Fraudulent Information Under FCRA XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Dear [ Credit Reporting Agency ] , I am submitting this formal complaint in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), to request that you block certain information from my consumer credit report. This information is the result of identity theft and must be removed within four ( 4 ) business days of your receipt of this request.

The disputed information includes a personal credit card account that was fraudulently opened in my name, as well as several unauthorized hard inquiries and collections that have subsequently appeared on my consumer FICO credit report. 
I do not recognize these accounts, collections, or inquiries, and I did not authorize or initiate any of them. 
These entries are fraudulent, inaccurate, and not reflective of any legitimate financial activity on my part. They are entirely the result of identity theft. 
To support this request, I have included the following documentation : A list of the fraudulent hard inquiries in question A copy of my consumer FICO credit report showing the disputed accounts, collections, and inquiries A copy of the FTC Identity Theft Report ( Complaint # [ Private ] ) verifying that I am a victim of identity theft and that the above items were fraudulently created Please act promptly in compliance with FCRA 605B and block all fraudulent accounts, collections, and hard inquiries as outlined above from my credit file. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

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

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 XXXX  data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy.

If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I was notified on XX/XX/XXXX that a collection was placed on my credit report with Amsher Collections for the amount of {$210.00} on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I contacted Amsher and requested proof of the debt. What they sent me was their own written letter claiming that the debt was accurate, and no proof of billing from XXXX. 

I was a XXXX  customer in XXXX, but I moved to an address in XX/XX/XXXX where I didn't need their services. I sent back their equipment, and to my knowledge I was paid up on my remaining balance. 

Since this collection has not been settled, I contacted XXXX directly in XX/XX/XXXX and was told that they would send a copy of my final bill with them. I still have not received that either.
