Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " XXXX XXXX  XXXX - XXXXVERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court U.S. Bankruptcy Court that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
Im contacting you to formally dispute an item currently listed on my credit report that is inaccurate and not in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, the information in question does not meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy, as required under FCRA Section 607 ( b ).

I take my credit and financial record very seriously, and I expect that anything being reported under my name is fully accurate and properly verified. In this case, that standard is not being met. Whether due to outdated, incorrect, or incomplete reporting, the presence of this item is misrepresenting my credit history and unfairly affecting my financial reputation.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: LA

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

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up complaint concerning fraudulent information that remains on my credit report, despite my initial dispute filed more than 30 days ago. I am disputing this information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and once again request that the unauthorized accounts listed below be blocked or removed immediately. 
As evidence of my claim, I have attached a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ). Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. 
Despite my prior complaint and multiple attempts to resolve this matter, the following accounts remain on my credit report : XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX These accounts are not mine and must be blocked without further delay. Their continued presence severely damages my creditworthiness, directly preventing me from purchasing a home and accessing essential financial services necessary to support my family and economic stability. 
I have repeatedly requested verification and copies of contracts relating to these accounts, and more than 60 days have passed without any response. Furthermore, these same accounts have been removed by other credit reporting agencies due to lack of verification, yet they continue to appear on my report without proper validation. 
I respectfully urge the CFPB to intervene and ensure that EQUIFAX complies with federal law by blocking these fraudulent accounts immediately and providing me with confirmation of such action.
