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

Complaint narrative:
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!

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. XXXX 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.

Hello, I am a XXXX veteran who has not had running water since XX/XX/2024. This is due to a great amount of water damage done to my home.

This has caused an extreme hardship financially, physically, and mentally, and emotionally.

Complaint narrative:
Please refer to the attached document titled XXXX for a full summary of the violations, supporting documentation, and legal citations relevant to this complaint. 
This complaint outlines TransUnions failure to comply with multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) despite my repeated, certified dispute submissions between XXXX and XX/XX/2025. My disputes included complete identity verification, new material evidence, and specific requests under 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) for the Method of Verification ( MOV ). In return, TransUnion responded with superficial digital updates, failed to mail reinvestigation results as required under 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), and continued reporting unverifiable, re-aged, or inaccurate tradelines without lawful explanation. 
Accounts disputed include charge-offs and collections from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  My submissions identified outdated DOFDs, discrepancies in balance reporting, and systemic failures to delete unverifiable data. TransUnion has also ignored several disputes altogether and refused to respond to MOV requests. 
With this complaint, I am submitting yet another formal record of TransUnions willful non-compliance and procedural violationspreserving this documentation for both regulatory enforcement and future legal escalation if necessary.

The attached PDF contains full case history, account-level breakdowns, USPS tracking confirmations, and FCRA citations including 1681i ( a ), 1681e ( b ), 611 ( a ) ( 7 ), 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), and 605 ( c ). The pattern of neglect and obstruction by TransUnion has materially harmed me and demands supervisory intervention

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/XXXX, the account with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  was closed and charged off with a balance of {$1000.00}. I disputed this tradeline with Equifax, citing multiple Metro 2 and FCRA violations. Despite labeling the account consumer disputes reinvestigation in progress, Equifax failed to provide lawful verification under 15 U.S.C. 1681i. 

Equifax continues to report this as a charge-off with a past-due balance, which violates Metro 2 guidelinesa XXXX  XXXX not show a past-due amount simultaneously. It also inaccurately reports XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, damaging my credit profile further. 

I demanded deletion if XXXX XXXX could not provide original documentation verifying the accounts accuracy.
