Consumer complaint received 2025-02-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX, 12 XXXX, and TransUnion for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) related to the inaccurate reporting of a collection account that I have no knowledge of. 

On my TransUnion credit report, XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a collection account allegedly originating from 12 XXXX with a balance of {$1700.00}. According to the creditor, the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. I have never been contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX or 12 XXXX regarding this account, and I have never made any payments toward this so-called debt. 

Believing this to be an error and potentially fraudulent, I filed a dispute with TransUnion on XX/XX/XXXX, explicitly stating that I have no knowledge of this account and that it is inaccurate. Despite the seriousness of the dispute, TransUnion closed the investigation in just 10 days, providing their response on XX/XX/XXXX. Their investigation report stated : TransUnion investigated your dispute but the information was verified as accurate. Other information was also updated. 

This response raises concerns about whether a proper, thorough investigation was conducted, as required under federal law. The account remains on my credit report, negatively impacting my credit profile. 

1. FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) : Duty of Furnishers to Report Accurate Information XXXX XXXX XXXX and 12 XXXX  are responsible for reporting accurate information. Despite my dispute, they have failed to correct or remove inaccurate data.

2. FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) : Right to Dispute Inaccurate Information TransUnion is legally required to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information within 30 days. A 10-day resolution without substantive verification indicates a lack of due diligence.

I was not provided with any documentation verifying the legitimacy of the alleged debt.

3. FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Duty to Maintain Maximum Possible Accuracy TransUnion has a legal obligation to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information in consumer reports, which was not upheld in this case.

4. FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 : Procedure in Cases of Identity Theft ( if applicable ) Given that I have no knowledge of this account, this could potentially involve identity theft. TransUnion failed to properly investigate or take corrective action under this provision.

5. FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681n & 1681o : Liability for Willful and Negligent Non-Compliance The continued reporting of this inaccurate information, despite my formal dispute, suggests willful non-compliance, exposing the responsible parties to potential legal liability.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is to inform your company that I want to dispute the items on my credit profile. Did you see that XXXX was sued by the CFPB for unlawfully failing to properly investigate consumer disputes. The CFPB alleges that XXXX does not take sufficient steps to intake, process, investigate, and notify consumers about consumer disputes, resulting in the inclusion of incorrect information on credit reports. Inaccurate or false information on consumer reports can threaten consumers access to credit, employment, and housing. 

I also learned that your XXXX is notorious for telling consumers that they will not investigate accounts if you have previously investigated and now we see that they all never really investigated anything for consumers. I am demanding that you reinvestigate/ investigate and the outcome be removed today!
