Consumer complaint received 2024-03-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding inaccurate items and incorrect personal information on my credit report. On XX/XX/2024, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion requesting an investigation into these inaccuracies. Additionally, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. Despite providing my proof of identification, TransUnion refused to conduct the investigation, which is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite providing TransUnion with all necessary information and documentation, they have refused to conduct a proper investigation and correct the inaccuracies and incorrect personal information on my credit report. This refusal has negatively impacted my financial standing and caused undue stress and inconvenience. 

I made sure to include a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and recent bill with my current address to help TransUnion verify my identity and address. 

I received a response from TransUnion dated XX/XX/2024, stating the following : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. According to the FCRA, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 

It appears that TransUnion has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute, which they are required to do in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against TransUnion for its failure to comply with the FCRA. I also request that TransUnion promptly conduct a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies and incorrect personal information on my credit report, correct any errors, and provide me with a free copy of my updated report. 

I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion, along with TransUnions response as proof.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My Student Loans were being serviced by Great Lakes but were transferred to Nelnet last year. When they were with Great Lakes, I paid them during the Covid Forbearance period and got them down to about {$42000.00}, I had 3 sets of loans, one for {$7000.00}, one for {$14000.00} and another for {$21000.00}. When they were transferred to Nelnet, it shows a balance of over {$45000.00}. It's like Nelnet did not apply any of the Covid payments. 

I've tried calling them but can not get connected to anyone. I've tried submitting a complaint thru their electronic submissions. I get no answers. This has been going on for months. I've asked for statements from the Great Lakes period, no response. I know it's law that financial institutions are required to keep a minimum of 5 years of statements on record. I want those statements. 

It was even a hassle just to get the tax information for 2023 with Great Lakes. I had to go off a digital message telling me the amount of interest paid rather than an actual tax form. 

I even tried reaching out to the Department of Education and got nothing.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear Equifax, I am writing to address unauthorized transactions appearing on my consumer report, which I did not authorize or instruct to be included. I formally request the blocking and removal of these accounts without any misrepresentation of facts. Below are the specific accounts in question : Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Violation : Reported without valid evidence under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) Method of verification. Please remove it from my credit report. 

Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Violation : Reported without valid evidence under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) Method of verification. Please remove it from my credit report. 

Account : XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Violation : Reported without valid evidence under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) Method of verification. Please remove it from my credit report. 

It appears that these actions may contravene 15 U.S.C 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ), which prohibits a consumer report from containing information solely regarding transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. Consequently, Equifax 's inclusion of these reports is in violation of the statute. 

I request that you promptly update my utilization to XXXX XXXX or below within 10 calendar days or remove all utilization from the mentioned accounts. 

Moreover, I demand that you provide all documents supporting the reporting of these accounts, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ). The inclusion of this information is damaging to my reputation and adversely affecting my creditworthiness. 

Therefore, I insist on the removal of these accounts from my file within 30 days, as stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or verification of the accounts. 

Additionally, I request the removal of all erroneous and unverified information, as well as all non-account holding inquiries older than 30 days. 

Failure to provide a satisfactory response with the deletion of the mentioned utilization and inquiries will result in legal action against your company, including seeking {$1000.00} per violation for defamation of character, civil liability, and Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C 1681 violations for willful noncompliance - 616. Civil liability for willful noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681n ].
