Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to address the presence of fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit report that I did not authorize, initiate, or have any involvement with. These accounts are entirely unfamiliar to me and do not reflect my actual financial history or activities. This matter is extremely distressing, as the false reporting has negatively impacted my credit standing and personal peace of mind. The existence of these fraudulent entries is not only inaccurate but wholly unjust. I have taken every step to safeguard my personal information, yet these accounts were wrongfully placed under my name.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MN

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.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has included unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report, which were not initiated by me. This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ). These sections prohibit reporting inquiries not initiated by the consumer unless specific conditions are met, such as prior written authorization or a firm offer of credit. I did not authorize these inquiries and never provided my written consent. As such, their presence on my credit report is unlawful. The consumer reporting agency has also failed to provide evidence of permissible purpose or documentation containing my signature authorizing these inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX or Equifax has not met its legal responsibilities under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a thorough reinvestigation of the disputed information on my credit report, resulting in unresolved inaccuracies and unverifiable accounts. Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) filed a lawsuit against XXXX and Equifax, citing systemic problems such as the failure to forward evidence provided by consumers to furnishers, reliance on unreliable responses, and inadequate notification to consumers regarding the outcomes of disputes. These issues mirror my own experience, where XXXXXXXX and Equifax has failed to correct or remove disputed items despite the evidence I submitted, which has negatively impacted my credit standing. I am requesting immediate action to either remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX 's and Equifax lack of response is a violation of federal law and infringes on my rights as a consumer.
