Consumer complaint received 2025-05-26 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a late payment that appears on my credit report for a student loan serviced by XXXX. I had auto-pay set up for this account, and payments were being deducted regularly. However, one payment in early XXXX was marked late, even though I had not turned off or changed my auto-pay settings. 

I filed a dispute with Equifax, but the late payment was verified by XXXX and not removed. I believe this is inaccurate, as I took all appropriate steps to ensure on-time payment, and I was not alerted to any issue until after the damage was done. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB review this situation and assist in getting this inaccurate late payment removed from my credit file. This has caused a significant drop in my credit score and does not reflect my intent or financial behavior. 

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting a reinvestigation into multiple items appearing on my credit report, as they are either fraudulent or inaccurately reported. Several accounts listed are not mine. I did not authorize, open, or benefit from them. These items appear to be fraudulent, and I have not received any disclosures, billing statements, or signed agreements as required under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ). Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611, I request a detailed reinvestigation and disclosure of the verification process, including the identity of the furnisher.

Additionally, an active account is being reported with a late payment status, which is factually incorrect. I have made timely payments, and this inaccurate reporting violates FCRA 623 and the DoddFrank Acts prohibition against deceptive practices. This negative reporting misrepresents my creditworthiness and causes substantial harm. 

I request a manual, factual-based reinvestigation, not an automated E-OSCAR response. Under FCRA and CFPB guidelines, furnishers and credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and correct or delete inaccurate information. I expect updated reporting and full compliance with the legal timeframes outlined in FCRA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> while I was at work I got a text message from Bank of America that my card was used at an XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX  and asking if I authorized this charge. Within XXXX minutes I replied NO and reported my card as stollen, which resulted in them preventing any further purchases on that card and sending me a new card. However on XX/XX/XXXX, the {$850.00} purchased from the XXXX XXXX was posted to my credit card. I opened a fraud claim for that transaction and it was almost immediately denied because they claim the transaction was signed for, which anyone can forge. I have attempted to contact bank of America several times since then and they say they will reopen the claim and yet nothing has been done, and on my end it is still showing as closed. I also contacted XXXX  which they say I have to go through the bank because they can not find any transaction for that amount under my XXXX  account so they have no way of giving me the information on who used my card.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a formal dispute to both Experian and TransUnion regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit reports. I provided a signed letter, copy of my government-issued ID, and a recent bank statement to verify my identity and address. My disputes requested a full reinvestigation under FCRA 609 and 611, deletion of any unverifiable accounts, and copies of original signed contracts and the method of verification. 

TransUnion confirmed receipt and stated they contacted the creditors but have not provided any proper verification or results. Experian responded stating the dispute may not have come from me, despite receiving all required ID documentation. This is a violation of FCRA 1681i, which mandates a reinvestigation upon notice of a consumer dispute. 

I am requesting CFPB enforcement to ensure compliance, investigation, and deletion of all unverifiable data from my credit file

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally demand your agency 's compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with the ongoing mishandling of my credit file. Despite multiple dispute attempts, you have failed to remove fraudulent account that do not belong to me and continue to report unverifiable information. 

This conduct is in direct violation of federal law and my consumer rights. The accounts listed below were opened fraudulently as a result of identity theft. I have submitted several dispute letters requesting their removal, yet you have responded with vague and non-substantive explanations that do not meet the legal standards required under the FCRA.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are legally obligated to perform a meaningful investigation upon receipt of a consumer dispute. Your continued reliance on form responses without providing original validation of the debts in question constitutes noncompliance.

Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) mandates that consumer reporting agencies ensure the highest possible level of accuracy in reporting. Your agencys failure to take corrective action demonstrates a reckless disregard of these obligations. 

You are hereby given 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1. Full and original verification documents from the creditors proving the validity of the accounts in questionnot generic responses ; 2. A comprehensive outline of the investigation performed, detailing each step taken ; 3. The names, job titles, and contact details of the individuals responsible for reviewing and responding to my dispute ; 4. Written confirmation that all unverifiable information has been permanently deleted from my credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

If you fail to respond adequately within the timeframe stated, I will pursue immediate legal action. This includes filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the California State Attorney General. I will also proceed with litigation under 15 U.S.C. 1681n for willful noncompliance, which allows for the recovery of statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs. 

This account is fraudulent, and I have already received confirmation from the relevant banks that they should not be associated with my credit profile. Please review and remove this account immediately, and provide supporting verification if you continue to report them : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
