Complaint narrative:
I was shocked to discover an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report today, and I dont understand why its there. I always monitor my credit report, yet this time, an unfamiliar entry appeared out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser multiple times, but the issue persisted. This is completely unacceptable, and I need it addressed without delay. I am requesting a thorough review of my submitted documents to ensure this never happens again.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out because theres an account showing up on my credit report that does not belong to me. This account appears to be the result of mixed or merged credit information, and it is very clear that this account is tied to someone elses identitynot mine. 

I want to make this absolutely clear : I have no association whatsoever with the account in question. I did not open it, I have no connection to the person who did, and I should not be held responsible for their financial activity. Somehow, my credit file has been inaccurately combined with another persons information, and this is now negatively impacting my credit profilethrough no fault of my own. 

This is not just a mistake ; its a serious error that violates the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the law, you are obligated to ensure that every item reported under my name is 100 % accurate and verifiably connected to me. In this case, that standard is not being met.

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.

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

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to formally dispute inaccurate and misleading information being reported on my credit file related to an account that is marked as late which is factually incorrect and a violation of federal law. 

Let me be absolutely clear : this account has always been paid on time and in full, as agreed. I have never missed a payment on this account. The current reporting of late payments is not only damaging but is also legally inaccurate under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which governs timely payments and proper billing practices.

This is a billing error, plain and simple. The payment was made as required, and I should not be penalized for a mistake that is not mine. The negative marks being reported are unjustified and are violating the protections provided to me as a consumer under federal law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

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 XXXX  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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX they do not report or furnish XXXX  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 XXXX account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : XXXX. XXXX. 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 XXXX  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.

Hello. I have been trying to get an incorrect account fixed or removed from my credit bureau report but they have not conducted a proper investigation and the account remains after numerous attempts. I also contacted the furnisher and have not heard back from them either. Their misreporting and lack of due diligence is greatly impacting my credit scores and ability to get approved for credit. I previously filed a complaint with another agency and will continue if it is not fixed immediately.

Company: Carvana Group, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a XXXX  XXXX XXXX from Carvana. The warranty was very limited. There were many things wrong with the car at the outset which should have been fixed under the warranty. But were not. After the warranty expired the car broke down again and has been in and out of the shop since. We've had the engine practically rebuilt. And now it is apparantly seized. The loan is for way more than the car is even worth by Carvana 's own quote. So the amount we paid was obviously inflated to begin with. All I want is for the car to be gone and the load wiped out. You can have the piece of junk back. Cause the thing is useless. They buy cars cheap ( at auction ) and sell them for inflated prices leaving buyers stuck with with a loan and a useless piece of metal. Their tactics are decptive. Ive reached out to them several times and have basically been told sucks to be me because the waranty is out. I need this resolved and am seeking legal counsel if the company doesnt make it right.
