Consumer complaint received 2025-08-21 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized and inaccurate collection account on my credit report from TransUnion Consumer Solutions associated with XXXX, account number XXXX. This account does not belong to me, and I have no knowledge of its origin. I formally disputed this account with the credit bureau, requesting verification and removal based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Sections 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ). 
Despite my formal dispute and request for a thorough investigation, TransUnion Consumer Solutions has continued to report this account without verifying its accuracy or providing me with documentation supporting its validity. This violates my rights under the FCRA, as credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and must not report inaccurate or unverifiable information. Notably, failure to comply with these requirements has been underscored by precedents such as XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 
This inaccurate information is damaging my credit score and affecting my financial standing. I believe that the credit bureaus failure to properly investigate and respond to my dispute is a direct violation of the FCRA, causing me unnecessary harm.

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

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion is reporting multiple inaccurate, unverifiable, and even impossible accounts on my credit report. These items include accounts I never opened, future-dated accounts that are legally and factually impossible, and false addresses not connected to me. This violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( requirement of maximum possible accuracy ) and 1681i ( requirement to delete or correct information that can not be verified ). 

Details of the Complaint : False Addresses : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX I have never lived at these addresses. Reporting them exposes me to a mixed file and identity confusion, violating the FCRAs accuracy standards. 

Unverifiable Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Account XXXX High Balance {$1200.00}, Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX I never applied for or opened an account with XXXX XXXX  XXXX. No contract or documentation exists linking me to this account. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be deleted. 

Future-Dated Accounts ( Impossible & False ) XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX and another listed XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX Open Date XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX These accounts are reported with dates in the future, which proves they are fabricated. No verification is possible because the alleged open dates have not occurred. This demonstrates XXXX failure to maintain reasonable procedures for accuracy. 

Impact on Me : Because of these inaccuracies, I have been unfairly denied fair credit opportunities, subjected to reputational harm, and exposed to the risk of identity theft. These false accounts and addresses make it appear as though I have obligations and credit activity that I do not, which is misleading and damaging. The emotional stress and financial harm are significant. 

Requested Resolution : Permanent deletion of all inaccurate and unverifiable accounts listed above. 

Removal of false addresses from my file. 

Written confirmation that these items have been deleted. 

Assurance that TransUnion will review its procedures to prevent future reporting of false and impossible data. 

Supporting Laws : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy. 

15 U.S.C. 1681i : Requires deletion or correction of disputed information that can not be verified.

It's been a month since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and the wrong info on my report is still there.

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. Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint FTC Report Number : XXXX as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no 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.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized access to my credit report by several companies has directly harmed both my credit and credit score. I previously contacted your agency and was assured by a representative that these unauthorized inquiries would be removed. That assurance has not been honored, as the inquiries still remain. This failure to act is unacceptable. 

The continued presence of these unauthorized and potentially fraudulent entries is highly alarming and raises serious concerns of possible identity theft. This unresolved issue is causing ongoing financial and emotional harm.

( all bureaus recieved this letter ) RE : Account XXXX  ( Fill in Account Number ) To Whom It May Concern : Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice that your claim is disputed and validation is requested.Under the Fair Debt collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation that is binding on me to pay this debt.

I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have or continue to report invalidated information to any of the XXXX major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ), this action might constitute fraud under both federal and state laws.

Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with legal counsel for suit.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding Westlake Financial Services handling of a refund due to me after the payoff of my auto loan. 
My account ( XXXX ) was fully paid off on XX/XX/year>. 
Westlake confirmed in writing that a refund of {$230.00} was owed to me and stated the funds would be released no later than XX/XX/year>. 
They further stated the refund would be issued via a XXXX debit card and received 21 days after account closure which would be XX/XX/year>. 
As of XX/XX/year>, I have not received the card, tracking information, or any proof that it was actually mailed. 

I have repeatedly contacted Westlake by email, provided full account verification ( date of birth and SSN last four ), and specifically requested confirmation of issuance. Despite this, I have only received repetitive responses citing email mismatches and new verification requests, but no concrete resolution.

This delay is unreasonable. If the situation were reversed and I owed Westlake funds, I would not be permitted to delay repayment for weeks without consequence. Yet in this case, Westlake has withheld funds rightfully owed to me, while refusing to provide proof of mailing or tracking.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the Bureaus a XXXX  ago, but sadly, the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they have properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is extremely frustrating! Over XXXX  days have passed since I filed my complaint, and the disputed accounts remain unchanged. If this persists, I may have to consider legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I'm worried about the security of my personal information, especially after the data breach involving Equifax, XXXX, and Transunion.
