Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
As a federally protected consumer, I have a right to privacy. A huge part of the FCRA is the privacy of consumer data. My information MUST be dealt with confidentiality and with respect to my right to privacy. This consumer reporting agency is not a bureau. In fact, they are a data broker that was not given any permissible purpose by me to report these items attached. They are defaming my character with this erroneous reporting. Delete all unauthorized items listed in my attached letters and update any late payment history due to the fact that it is misleading and deceptive because I can not be late on my own extension of credit. I am the original creditor. There is no verifiable proof of any late payment! I also attached an invoice for monetary relief since this data broker violated my rights! THESE ITEMS MUST BE DELETED WITHIN XXXX  DAYS ACCORDING TO FEDERAL LAW!

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am being contacted by a debt collector ( Columbia Debt Recovery LLC DBA Genesis ) trying to collect a rental debt that I do not owe. 

In XX/XX/year>, I applied for an apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and paid a {$35.00} application fee and a {$250.00} refundable deposit. My application was denied. I never signed a lease and never moved in.

I contacted the leasing office several times to request my refundable deposit back, but they did not respond. As a result, I requested a chargeback through my bank, and the {$250.00} was refunded to me.

Later, I received a document from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  confirming that I have {$0.00} unpaid charges. Despite this, a collection agency is now claiming I owe {$270.00} which is false. 

I am attaching a complete dispute package including : - My formal dispute letter - My bank statement showing the chargeback - A document from the property confirming I owe nothing - My rental application ( not a lease ) This debt is not valid and should be removed immediately.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to dispute the continued reporting of a charge-off account by all three major credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, and XXXXfor XXXX XXXX ( Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, dated XX/XX/year>, with a balance of {$480.00}. I believe the way this account is currently being reported is inaccurate, misleading, and in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit R

eporting Act ( FCRA ). This account does not accurately reflect its true resolution, nor does it properly indicate the current balance status. I have reason to believe that the reporting agencies have failed to reinvestigate this matter with the necessary diligence or to obtain proper verification from the creditor. Under the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they include in consumer reports. Additionally, per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), the bureaus are obligated to conduct a timely and thorough reinvestigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of any information. Despite my previous efforts to dispute this listing, it continues to appear on all three reports without updated or corrected information that reflects my records. The failure to verify or correct this entry damages my creditworthiness, misrepresents my financial obligations, and has already contributed to denials of credit and unfavorable lending terms.

Complaint narrative:
I recently checked my credit report and noticed that there's a few inquiries that I don't recognize, I did not authorize, nor given consent to the company to pull up my credit report and it might've been done without my knowledge.

Do anything necessary to remove them from my report. It is stressing me out and making me anxious. Hope you can address this soon, please.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

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.

Company: Kikoff Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am reporting a privacy and FCRA violation related to a collection tradeline reported by Kickoff Lending LLC ( Account # XXXX ) on my XXXX  credit report. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a report under written instructions from the consumer. I did not provide such authorization for Kickoff Lending LLC to report this debt. Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 6802, I was never given proper notice or an opportunity to opt out of data sharing.

I submitted an opt-out letter to both XXXX  and Kickoff Lending LLC on XX/XX/XXXX, revoking any and all prior consents and requesting removal of this item. This account is reported as a Charge Card opened in XX/XX/XXXX, and is not authorized or verifiable with my consent. 

I request immediate deletion of this tradeline from my credit report and a formal statement ensuring it will not be re-reported. 

Attached : Copy of opt-out letter, credit report excerpt, and proof of identity.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding an inaccurate and unresolved late payment entry that remains on my Experian credit report. The account in question is XXXX  XXXX with account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which reported a late payment on XX/XX/2024 despite the fact that the account is

now closed with a past due balance of {$0.00}. This entry is misleading, as the account has been fully resolved and no outstanding balance remains. Reporting a delinquency on a closed account that is no longer past due misrepresents my current credit standing and unfairly harms my credit profile. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires Experian to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information it reports. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I have the right to dispute any information that is incomplete or unverifiable. I have not received any documentation from Experian or XXXX XXXX to substantiate the validity of this alleged late payment, and its continued presence on my report suggests that Experian has either failed to obtain verification from the furnisher or failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation.
