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

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

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention my personal information has been exposed in a national data breach. After reviewing my credit report notice some accounts that I am not familiar with. I asked CRA 's for validation of debt., however the information has not been provided. Due to my information being exposed, I have submitted a FTC complaint reporting the information I am not familiar with. I am writing to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report related to any account that does not belong to me. I am a victim of a data breach, and my personal information was used without my consent to open this account. 

This account was opened fraudulently and should not be associated with my credit profile. I have never authorized or conducted any transactions related to this account. 

Please investigate this matter, remove the account from my credit report, and provide written confirmation of the removal. I am attaching [ police report/FTC identity theft affidavit/data breach notification letter, if available ] as supporting documentation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian and TransUnion for reporting an unverifiable late payment on an account with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  ( Account ending in XXXX ). This inaccurate information is damaging my credit and affecting my ability to obtain funding. 

Under 15 USC 1681i, credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes an account and remove or correct any information that can not be verified. Despite my formal dispute, Experian and TransUnion continue to report a late payment without providing any proof from the original creditor. 

XXXX  has already removed this account from my credit report. That alone shows inconsistencies across the three bureaus, and it highlights a violation of 15 USC 1681e ( b ), which requires credit bureaus to maintain the maximum possible accuracy of the data they report.

I also reference 15 USC 1666b, which protects consumers by requiring that payments received by the stated cutoff time on the due date be treated as on time. I have received no timestamped proof showing this payment was received late, nor any explanation about how it was processed. Without this documentation, the bureaus are reporting inaccurate and potentially unlawful information. 

This appears to be part of a broader issue. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX is not widely recognized as a traditional lender, and its reporting practices may be negatively affecting many consumers in similar ways. I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this account and the credit bureaus failure to meet federal obligations for data accuracy and verification. 

I am demanding the deletion of this unverifiable late payment and full compliance with all applicable federal consumer protection laws.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Oliphant United, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Oliphant USA LLC was listed as the original creditor on my credit report after obtaining a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The original amount owed since acquiring the debt was {$2900.00}. This account has been closed since XXXX with that being the amount owed per XXXX XXXX, however between XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX has increased the amount owed to {$3000.00} with no grounds to do so. I have not received any communication in regard to this account from Oliphant. This same debt is also apart of a litigation with another debt collection agency called Accelerated Inventory Management LLC which ironically holds the same address as Oliphant USA LLC. They are operating under two different names for the same debt as it seems. Oliphant should not be increasing any amounts owed on an account that is closed/charged off. Is this to make it look like its two different accounts? It is not. This seems entirely unethical.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
RE : Request for Debt Validation Reporting on TransUnion Only I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and noticed that your company, National Credit Systems, is reporting an account solely to the TransUnion Credit Bureau. This letter serves as my formal request, pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), for full validation of the alleged debt.

As required by law, I am requesting that you immediately cease all collection activities and furnish the following documentation for verification : Proof that I owe this debt Provide documentation showing that I am legally obligated to this debt, including a copy of the original agreement or signed contract bearing my signature. 

Breakdown of the debt Supply a complete itemization of the amount claimed, including : Principal balance Accrued interest Fees Any additional charges Proof of your legal authority to collect Include a copy of the agreement or contract transferring ownership or collection rights from the original creditor to your agency. 

Account history Provide the full payment and activity history of the account, including : Date the account was opened Date of the last payment Any charges, adjustments, or credits made Original creditor information Identify the name, address, and contact information of the original creditor associated with this debt.

Until this validation is provided, I am disputing the accuracy and legitimacy of this account. If you are reporting this information to TransUnion, you are required under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA to mark the account as disputed by consumer during the pendency of this validation process.

Failure to comply with these obligations, including continued reporting of unvalidated or inaccurate information, may result in legal action being taken against your agency. This includes potential claims for statutory damages, attorneys fees, and injunctive relief. 

This is not a refusal to pay, but a good faith request for debt validation and my rights as a consumer under the FDCPA and FCRA. Please respond within 30 days of receipt.
