Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I filed formal disputes with the credit bureau concerning inaccurate and unverifiable accounts on my credit report. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA XXXX ( a ) ), the bureau is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within XXXX  days, consult with the original furnishers, and provide me with written verification or remove the information if it is unverifiable. 
Instead, the bureau appears to rely on automated systems ( such as XXXX  ) without requesting or reviewing original source documents, in violation of its duty to maintain maximum possible accuracy under FCRA XXXX ( b ) / XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( b ). 
In XX/XX/year>, Equifax was fined {$15.00} XXXX for improper investigations and failure to comply with FCRA accuracy requirements. 
I requested detailed information about their reinvestigation process and copies of any verification or certification they obtained from the furnishers. They failed to provide this documentation and have continued reporting the disputed items without proof.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
This is my second dispute, and the continued presence of inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading information on my credit report is unacceptable. Under the FCRA 1681i and 1681s-2, furnishers and credit reporting agencies are required to fully verify the accuracy of all reported information. Additionally, under the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5531, any deceptive or unfair reporting is prohibited. I demand that all unverifiable items be deleted immediately.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I contacted XXXX  support for an unrelated issue. After ending the call, I was unknowingly transferred to a XXXX sales representative without requesting it. The XXXX rep began offering home security services, and I was told that only a soft credit check would be done to determine eligibility. 

On XX/XX/year>, a XXXX technician installed an alarm system in my home. During both the phone call and the installation, I was never informed that I was applying for a credit card or retail credit account. I was led to believe that I would be paying for the alarm equipment through monthly installments, similar to my previous provider, XXXX. 

After the installation was complete and the contract was e-signed, I was sent an email from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that I had been approved for a credit card. This was shocking and not something I knowingly or intentionally applied for. I was misled into entering a credit agreement I did not understand or authorize. 

I later discovered this XXXX XXXX XXXX account had been added to my credit report, and it is showing a high utilization rate, negatively affecting my credit score. This was never disclosed to me before or during the service setup. 

Additionally, the contract and XXXX  account were created using the wrong last nameinstead of my actual last name. I notified both the sales rep and the installation technician multiple times about this error, but it was never corrected. 

When I filed a complaint with the XXXX  and spoke with Executive Sales Resolutions at XXXX, I was told I could not cancel the service or remove the account from my credit report because I had signed the contract, and the cancellation policy was only valid for 3 days. I requested proof that I was informed I was applying for a credit card, and I was only sent a Congratulations approval message from XXXX documentation proving informed consent or prior disclosure was ever provided. I also told the Executive Sales Resolutions representative at XXXX that my name was incorrect and still no correction was made. 



Other Agencies Contacted : I have filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX and received a response from XXXX, but the issue remains unresolved.

I have never resided at, applied to, or signed any lease agreement with this property, and this account is a result of identity theft. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, I request that this fraudulent tradeline be blocked from my credit report after submission of proper identity theft documentation. Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, any furnishing or sharing of my personal information without a permissible purpose or my authorization is a violation of federal law. I demand immediate investigation, removal of the account, and a copy of all documentation used to verify its accuracy.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WA

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.
