Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
The Hwarfield account is reporting with multiple inconsistencies. It is listed as both " Open '' and " Closed, '' the date of last activity changes depending on the bureau, and the dispute language states " Consumer disputes meets FCRA requirements '' while also saying " Account not disputed. '' This is highly misleading and violates FCRA 1681e ( b ).

I submitted multiple disputes requesting validation and documentation of the original debt. No contract or payment history has been provided. The account appears to be re-aged, and the data conflicts suggest that this account is unverifiable. I am requesting full deletion.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has included unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report, which were not initiated by me. This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ). These sections prohibit reporting inquiries not initiated by the consumer unless specific conditions are met, such as prior written authorization or a firm offer of credit. I did not authorize these inquiries and never provided my written consent. As such, their presence on my credit report is unlawful. The consumer reporting agency has also failed to provide evidence of permissible purpose or documentation containing my signature authorizing these inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
I left the property prior to the formal eviction process because I was experiencing ongoing XXXX XXXXXXXX and feared for my safety. The individual I was escaping had a history of abusive behavior, and remaining at that address put me at risk of further harm. 

At the time, I made the difficult decision to leave without formal notice or legal process because I was actively trying to hide from and avoid contact with an abusive person. My actions were not an attempt to abandon my responsibilities, but a necessary step to protect my personal safety and mental well-being. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX is often complex, and survivors like myself sometimes must choose between personal safety and following traditional housing protocols. I respectfully ask for understanding and consideration regarding this situation, and I am committed to maintaining stable housing moving forward. Recent Case number XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my TransUnion credit report dated XX/XX/XXXX, and found several hard inquiries that I do not recognize or recall authorizing. These inquiries were made by XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

To my knowledge, I did not apply for new credit with any of these companies on or around the listed dates. I have not initiated contact or submitted credit applications to these lenders and was surprised to find multiple inquiries on my report. 

I am requesting that these companies provide evidence of my authorization for these inquiries. If none can be provided, I am asking for these inquiries to be removed from my credit report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally state that Trans union has failed to fulfill its legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically its duties under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct reasonable investigations and forward all relevant information provided by the consumer to the furnisher of disputed information. 

Despite submitting documentation directly to Trans union in support of a dispute, the agency failed to forward the evidence as required by law. This failure undermines the integrity of the reinvestigation process and violates the consumer protections outlined in the FCRA. 

Additionally, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has filed a lawsuit against Transunion, citing systemic violations of federal consumer financial protection laws. According to the CFPB, Transunion has engaged in practices that include, but are not limited to, neglecting to properly consider consumer-submitted evidence and failing to implement adequate procedures to ensure the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. 

This pattern of misconduct reflects a broader disregard for regulatory compliance and consumer rights. I request that this issue be escalated and resolved in accordance with all applicable provisions of the FCRA.
