Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Equifax continues to report a charged-off account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) despite my repeated disputes since XX/XX/year>. This is not only frustrating but a blatant violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The fact that this account remains reported after multiple disputes demonstrates a failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). 

I previously submitted disputes, including a certified mail dispute delivered on XX/XX/year> ( XXXX XXXX # XXXX ). Despite this, Equifax have allowed this inaccurate and unauthorized reporting to remain. 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) requires that credit reporting agencies conduct a proper reinvestigation and delete disputed information if it can not be verified. Continuing to furnish this account also violates 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ), which prohibits furnishing information without consumers written consent. 

The continued presence of this account is damaging my creditworthiness, lowering my score, and causing financial harm by limiting my ability to access fair credit opportunities. If Equifax fail to act, this conduct will rise to willful noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and negligent noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681o, exposing them to liability for statutory damages, actual damages, attorneys fees, and punitive damages.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Citibank for inaccurate late payment reporting on two accounts ( ending in XXXX and XXXX ). The reported late payments in XXXX and XX/XX/year> do not match my records, and I dispute the accuracy of the delinquency progression. I request that Citibank verify all information under FCRA 1681i and Metro 2 standards, correct or remove any inaccuracies, and provide an updated credit report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Cfpb : Aldous & Associates P.L.L.C. I am formally disputing the accuracy, validity, and completeness of the above-referenced account, which has been reported to the credit bureaus and attributed to me. I have no verified relationship with your company or any other original creditor you listed, and I was never provided proper notice of this alleged debt. 
Pursuant to my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ), I demand full validation of this account. Specifically, I request the following documentation : * Original Credit Agreement ( the contract I allegedly signed, if applicable ) * Full Itemized Statement ( showing how the balance was calculated ) * Forward Flow Agreement ( proving debt transfer from original creditor ) * Chain of Title / Assignment Documents ( showing legal transfer of ownership ) * Complete Payment History Records ( verifying payments or delinquencies ) * Validation Notice ( per FDCPA 1692g ) * Notice of Default / Intent to Collect ( as required by law ) * Proof of Statute of Limitations ( confirming debt is legally collectible ) * Credit Reporting Agreement ( authorizing reporting to bureaus ) * Documentation of Prior Dispute Investigations ( per FCRA 1681i ) To date, I have not received these required documents. Instead, I have only been sent generic, automated responses that do not constitute lawful validation. Therefore, the account remains unverified and legally unenforceable. 
Continuing to report or collect on an unverifiable account violates FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 1681s-2 ( b ) as well as FDCPA 1692g ( b ). Courts including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX confirm that unverifiable or misleading data can not lawfully remain on a consumers credit file.

Complaint narrative:
VIA CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED [ Name of Credit Bureau : XXXX XXXX, or TransUnion ] [ Address ] [ City, State ZIP Code ] RE : Demand for Immediate Removal of Unauthorized Inquiry ( ies ) To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally dispute and demand the immediate removal of unauthorized and/or inaccurate inquiries listed on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The inquiries at issue are as follows : TransUnion  XXXX XXXX : [ XX/XX/XXXX ], XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX : [ XX/XX/XXXX ], XXXX XXXX  XXXX : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] As you are aware, under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ), a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report under certain permissible purposes, including ( but not limited to ) where the consumer has provided authorization, or in connection with a credit transaction initiated by the consumer. 

I did not authorize or initiate any transaction that would have provided a permissible purpose for this inquiry. The reporting of this inquiry without a valid permissible purpose represents a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( f ), which states : " A person shall not use or obtain a consumer report for any purpose unless the consumer report is obtained for a purpose for which the consumer report is authorized to be furnished under this section. '' Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), you are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of this dispute and delete or correct inaccurate or unverifiable information within 30 days. 

Relevant Legal Precedent XXXX  v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) The court held that accessing a consumers credit report without a permissible purpose under the FCRA is a violation and can expose the party to liability. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) Failure to ensure the accuracy of consumer reports can result in damages under the FCRA. 

My Formal Demand I hereby demand that you : Immediately delete the unauthorized inquiry ( ies ) listed above from my credit file. 

Provide written confirmation of the deletion within 30 days of your receipt of this letter. 

Consequences of Non-Compliance Should you fail to comply, I will not hesitate to : File complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney Generals Office. 

Pursue legal action under 15 U.S.C. 1681n ( willful noncompliance ) or 1681o ( negligent noncompliance ), seeking actual damages, statutory damages, punitive damages where appropriate, attorneys fees, and court costs. 

Please consider this your final notice, and I look forward to your prompt compliance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
