Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TN

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.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XXXX XXXX To : Citizens Bank XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, Rhode Island XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Unjust Hold on My Account Funds Dear Citizens Bank Customer Service, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the unexpected and unexplained hold placed on my account, XXXX which has resulted in a serious disruption to my financial obligations. 

On or around XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX, I noticed that my account had been frozen or that funds were being held without proper explanation. I immediately contacted customer service, but I have yet to receive a clear or satisfactory reason for this action. As of today, my funds remain inaccessible, and no resolution or timeline has been provided. 

This situation has caused undue stress and hardship, as I rely on access to these funds for essential personal and/or business expenses. I believe this hold is both inappropriate and unjustified, especially in the absence of any official notice, documentation, or valid reason from the bank.

I am requesting the following actions from Citizens Bank immediately : 1. A written explanation for the hold placed on my account.

2. The immediate release of my funds or a clearly defined timeline for resolution.

3. Documentation, if any, that was used to justify the account restriction.

If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter by filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and my State Banking Department. I am prepared to take any necessary legal or regulatory action to protect my rights. 

Please treat this matter with urgency. I expect a written response within five ( 5 ) business days from the date of this letter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Citizens bank customer

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable re-investigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against 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 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 Equifax 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
