Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

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

Complaint narrative:
I have had it with XXXX 's handling of my issues with the way they are reporting my personal information. There are wrong addresses on there that I have never even lived at. In response, I have gotten letters from them requesting information that I already sent out ( a utility bill with my current address, my ID with my current address, etc ). 

I mailed them the requested information on XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, At this point mailing them so many times out is messing with the security of my information. I mailed them a follow suit letter as well on XX/XX/XXXX showing that XXXX fixed the errors on my personal information in my report and that experian is obligated by FCRA laws to follow suit by also updating my information so it matches. 

I have included files that show that XXXX has received the information they are YET AGAIN requesting. 

The only information on my credit report should be my current address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX my current phone number : XXXX and my current employment status : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX This week, XX/XX/XXXX I received THREE letters from XXXX after I submitted my previous complaints with the CFPB. TWO of those letters are asking for the information I have already sent over FOUR TIMES!!!!!!!! I sent my current utility bill from XXXX, and I even included my XXXX that contains my SSN! 

I have sent an OVERWHELMING amount of evidence to get the wrong information removed and have the right information stated on my credit report. XXXX is especially messing with my ability to move at the moment since whenever my credit is pulled, they see the erroneous previous addresses. 

I HAVE ATTACHED EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS I MAILED MY EVIDENCE MULTIPLE TIMES ALONG WITH THE LETTERS.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is a general complaint. Due to the recent XXXX data breach I wanted to put a security freeze on my accounts with the credit bureaus. The fastest way is to do this online. However : when I went to set up an account with Experian, their Terms and Conditions state that we have to agree to allow them ( and third parties ) to send us marketing materials. 
This is entirely unfair. Credit reporting agencies already have huge power over us, and we are a captive audience. We are only contacting them because our sensitive information was leaked. They should not be allowed to prey on us just because we need to secure our information. When we set up an account, we should not have to open ourselves up to being spammed with unwanted solicitations, especially from unrelated third parties. 
So I ended up submitting my request by mail ( and even that information was not immediately obvious on their site ). 
I did not look up the Terms and Conditions on XXXX or XXXX, I just submitted them via US Mail.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because my credit reports show several unauthorized inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These inquiries have appeared without my consent, and despite reaching out to the credit bureaus to have them removed, they remain on my reports. My disputes have been ignored or dismissed without proper investigation, leaving these inaccurate inquiries to negatively impact my credit score. This situation is both alarming and unjust, as these inquiries are not a result of any actions Ive taken.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
