Complaint narrative:
I was denied credit by XXXX XXXX. I reviewed my Equifax report and there is missing and incorrect data on the report relating to XXXX XXXX. The information was not investigated. 
Please provide me with 100 % accurate and 100 % complete account data to accurately reflect the details of this account or delete from my consumer report immediately for false reporting. This account is misleading as it is frivolous reporting. 

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding Equifax and its adherence to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) reporting guidelines. Upon review of my report there are instances of incomplete or inaccurate reporting on my credit file, which directly impacts my financial well being I believe that it is imperative for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate and hold Equifax accountable for ensuring 100 % complete and 100 % accurate reporting, as required by the FCRA. The reliability and integrity of credit reports are crucial for consumers to make informed financial decisions, and any deviation from the FCRA standards can have severe consequences. 
I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to take the following actions : 1. Initiate a thorough investigation : Please conduct a comprehensive review of Equifax 's reporting practices to identify any instances of non-compliance with FCRA guidelines.

2. Hold Equifax accountable : If violations are found, please take appropriate enforcement actions to ensure Equifax promptly rectifies the issues, implements corrective measures, and prevents future deviations from FCRA standards. 
3. Public disclosure : Consider providing consumers with transparent information about the investigation and any actions taken, ensuring accountability, and maintaining public trust. 
The accurate reporting of credit information is crucial, consumers rely on credit bureaus to handle their data with the utmost precision. Your intervention in this matter is essential to safeguarding my rights. 
I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take the necessary steps to address and rectify any violations of the FCRA by Equifax.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have been monitoring my credit score and reports. On XX/XX/2023 my credit score for Transunion was XXXX and my XXXX score was XXXX. My income is {$110000.00} but since I don't have a lot of open accounts my credit scorXXXX had been pretty stagnant, so I decided to open up a credit card account so I can establish more credit and have an opportunity to increase my score. 

As previously stated my credit score on Transunion was XXXX and my credit score on XXXX was XXXX on XX/XX/2023. I then applied for a XXXX card and was approved. The account was opened in mid-XXXX When XXXX card account was opened immediately my score on both the Transunion and XXXX reports changed, which was expected. But what it changed to was very unexpected because the new credit score from Transunion and XXXX were so different. 

Transunion score saw a decrease of XXXX points. Transunion decreased from XXXX to XXXX ( vantage XXXX score ). XXXX on the other hand saw an increase of XXXX points. That score went from XXXX to XXXX as a result of the new XXXX card account. So basically my issue is... ..Transunion score decreased XXXX points, while XXXX increased XXXX points. Why did the two credit reporting agencies report such different results for the same report activity? 

Both reports show the XXXX card was the underlying factor for the change in credit score. But Transunion went down XXXX points and XXXX up XXXX points. That doesn't seem right. Transunion score is showing XXXX and XXXX XXXX and they are both using the XXXX XXXX scoring model and both have same accounts. So my question. Why did the Transunion score decrease so signficantly ( minus XXXX points ) when XXXX went up? 

I know there can be differences between credit reporting companies but they are both using the same credit scoring model and both credit scores was neck and neck ( XXXX and XXXX Transunion and XXXX respectively ). So why did Transunion go down XXXX points and XXXX go up XXXX points? 

I think the Transunion score is wrong and I need someone to review but they don't have any dispute mechanism in place to dispute the credit score. I have dispute the credit report and accounts, etc, but their website doesn't let you dispute the score which is why I am writing you. 

I need a government run regulatory body to review this matter and request Transunion to review independently and report updated status. Also want to know how the same event ( opening a new credit card ) can have such different effects on Transunion and XXXX credit reports. especially since the scores were similar before the event and the companies are using the same credit scoring model. Please advise.
