Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Im writing because there is an account showing up on my credit report that is completely unfamiliar to me. I have no knowledge of this account, never opened it, never authorized it, and have no connection to it whatsoever. Simply put it does not belong to me. 

This appears to be a case of mixed or misreported credit data, and its not just frustrating its damaging. I work hard to maintain my credit, and having someone elses account falsely tied to my name is completely unacceptable. I want to be absolutely clear : this is not my debt, not my account, and not my responsibility. 

You are required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to ensure that all information reported is completely accurate and verifiably associated with the correct consumer. In this case, that standard is clearly not being met. This is a violation of my rights, and I wont accept inaccurate data remaining on my file for even one day longer than necessary.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX ( Saturday ), I received a Cashier 's Check from XXXX XXXX for funds that were being held by them due to a lien against me in XX/XX/XXXX by the attorneys of a debt collector. I took steps to deposit the check through the Chime mobile app, which told me it could take a number of days to process ( seemed like boilerplate at the time ). Following the upload, it became apparent that Chime had no intention to credit those funds to my checking account until Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX ( very specific ). I contacted their customer support several times and received a variety of excuses. In my growing frustration, one support agent suggested I try to cash the check ( even though it was already processing ) and ameliorate the situation later by making sure I put cash back into my checking account as Chime would still try to take that money at a later time. I tried to do this out of desperation, which led to embarrassment at my local XXXX XXXX branch. The teller at XXXX XXXX said the money was transferred to Chime on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, and was no longer in their possession. Chime contested this statement at first, but relented and said I had to wait because the sum was high ( it is not, I read the FDIC Expedited Funds Availability Act, it is well below the cap for holding a check ) and their policy is to always hold deposits for five ( 5 ) days to " protect my account '' and ensure the funds are actually available from the issuer. It is a Cashier 's Check. That is not how Cashier 's Checks work, and they are also specifically referenced in the EFAA. I was hung up on twice, one Supervisor even ended a support chat with me over concerns of " Quality. '' I asked them for their specific policies and for an explanation of the compulsory hold, both of which were refused. I have screenshots of some of these conversations from the app.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. 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.
