Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against TransUnion for failing to remove XXXX unvalidated debts from my credit report, despite clear evidence that these debts were not properly validated by the collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This failure violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ), which mandates the removal of unverifiable, inaccurate, or incomplete information from consumer credit reports. 
Details of the Complaint Unvalidated Debts on My Credit Report : The debts in question are tied to XXXX XXXX XXXX with the following account numbers : # # # # # # # # # # XXXX ( {$4400.00} ) # # # # # # # # # # XXXX ( {$4900.00} ) These accounts were previously managed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which failed to validate them after I submitted a formal validation request. 
Actions Taken with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : On XX/XX/year>, I sent a certified letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting validation of the debts. 
On XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX responded, admitting they could not validate the debts because the accounts were no longer assigned to them. 
TransUnions Failure to Remove the Debts : Despite this clear lack of validation, TransUnion has allowed these unverifiable accounts to remain on my credit report. 
This constitutes a violation of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ), which requires credit reporting agencies to remove unverifiable information. 
Negative Impact on My Creditworthiness : The presence of these unvalidated debts on my TransUnion credit report has caused harm to my credit score, affecting my ability to obtain credit on fair terms. 
Relevant Legal Arguments FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) : Debt collectors are required to validate debts upon a consumers request. XXXX XXXX  failed to fulfill this obligation, rendering the debts invalid. 
FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ) : Credit reporting agencies are required to remove unverifiable, inaccurate, or incomplete information from consumer credit reports. TransUnion has failed to comply with this requirement. 
Continuous Dispute Rights : When a debt is transferred to a new collector, that collector must validate the debt before attempting to collect or report it. XXXX XXXX failure to validate these debts while managing them renders them invalid and unreportable. 
TransUnion has failed to comply with its obligations under the FCRA by allowing unvalidated debts to remain on my credit report. This negligence has caused harm to my creditworthiness and financial well-being. I request immediate action to ensure these accounts are removed from my credit report and that TransUnion is held accountable for its noncompliance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: TEXAS CAPITAL BANCSHARES, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the denial of my savings account application by Bask Bank on XX/XX/year>. Despite multiple attempts to obtain a clear and specific explanation for the denial, Bask Bank has failed to provide actionable details, citing vague internal policies and reliance on XXXX ' proprietary scoring model. This lack of transparency raises concerns about potential non-compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Summary of Events Application Denial : On XX/XX/year>, I applied for a savings account with Bask Bank. I received an immediate denial and was instructed to contact XXXX for further information. 

XXXX XXXX : On XX/XX/year>, I reviewed my XXXX report, which contained no adverse or actionable information relevant to the denial. The only details included a checking account I successfully opened with XXXX XXXX in XXXX. 

Customer Service Interaction : On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Bask Bank and was assured I would receive a specific explanation for the denial. However, the email I received on XX/XX/XXXX stated only that my application was declined due to " information on your applications outside Bask Bank 's policy or information received from XXXX. '' Further Attempts : I followed up with multiple emails and calls, including detailed written requests for clarification on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Bask Bank 's responses consistently failed to provide specific reasons for the denial or identify the internal policies allegedly violated. 

Concerns ECOA Violation : Under 15 U.S.C. 1691 ( d ), financial institutions are required to provide clear and specific reasons for denying a financial application. Bask Banks vague responses fail to meet this standard. 
FCRA Non-Compliance : If the decision relied on XXXX data, the FCRA requires that actionable details from the report be disclosed to me, enabling me to dispute inaccuracies. Bask Bank 's refusal to explain how XXXX data influenced their decision limits my ability to exercise these rights. 

Requested Actions A clear and detailed explanation of the specific internal policy or criteria that my application allegedly violated. 
Identification of the precise XXXX data that contributed to the decision and how it impacted my eligibility. 
XXXX that XXXX Banks practices align with XXXX and FCRA obligations.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate and unauthorized inquiries reported on my Equifax credit report. These inquiries are not associated with any accounts or credit applications initiated by me, and I have no knowledge of their origin. Despite my efforts to dispute these inquiries directly with Equifax, they remain on my credit report, negatively impacting my credit score and overall creditworthiness. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. By failing to verify the legitimacy of these inquiries and continuing to report them, Equifax has violated its legal obligation to maintain accurate and reliable consumer credit information. 

Furthermore, under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports, and credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable investigation into such disputes. Despite my attempts to resolve this issue, Equifax has failed to conduct a proper investigation or remove the inaccurate inquiries. 

These unauthorized inquiries are causing undue harm to my credit profile and may result from identity theft or other unauthorized activities. Equifaxs failure to address these inaccuracies undermines the integrity of the credit reporting system and unfairly penalizes me as a consumer. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate this matter thoroughly. Specifically, I seek the immediate removal of all unauthorized inquiries from my Equifax credit report and assurance that Equifax will take appropriate steps to prevent similar inaccuracies in the future. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust in your assistance to ensure compliance with federal consumer protection laws and to restore the accuracy and integrity of my credit report.
