Complaint narrative:
THE REPORTING AGENCY IS RETAINING, RESELLING, AND REDISTRIBUTING DATA THAT IS UNVERIFIED, INCOMPLETE, AND POTENTIALLY FALSE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF 15 U.S.C. 1681E ( B ) AND 1681A ( D ) ( 2 ), AS WELL AS THE GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACTS DATA ACCURACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY REQUIREMENTS. THIS CONDUCT SHOWS A DISREGARD FOR DATA INTEGRITY AND CONSUMER PRIVACY PROTECTIONS.

EVEN AFTER NOTICE OF DISPUTE, THE AGENCY CONTINUES TO REPORT THE SAME ERRONEOUS INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES AND AFFILIATES, KNOWING THAT IT LACKS DOCUMENTED PROOF OR VERIFIABLE SOURCE RECORDS. THIS CONSTITUTES A PATTERN OF WILLFUL NONCOMPLIANCE AND UNLAWFUL PROFITEERING FROM DEFECTIVE DATA. 

BY RESELLING OR REISSUING DATA THAT HAS BEEN DISPUTED AND NOT VERIFIED, THE AGENCY IS KNOWINGLY PARTICIPATING IN THE TRANSMISSION OF FALSE CONSUMER INFORMATION. THIS VIOLATES THE DUTY TO ASSURE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE ACCURACY AND UNDERMINES THE CONSUMERS RIGHTS TO FAIR AND TRUTHFUL CREDIT REPORTING. 

THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ERROR IT IS SYSTEMIC MISCONDUCT THAT DAMAGES CONSUMER CREDIT STANDING AND ENABLES OTHER ENTITIES TO CONTINUE RELYING ON INCORRECT INFORMATION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PURGED IMMEDIATELY AFTER DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my updated credit report hoping to see the deletions and corrections of what I previously submitted. I sent a complaint explaining the violations and reasons why it should be removed. Hence these accounts remain despite my prior disputes with the credit bureaus. The bureaus refusal to remove accounts resulting from identity theft is a blatant violation of FCRA 605B and demonstrates willful noncompliance. I demand immediate deletion of these fraudulent accounts, corrective disclosures, and enforcement action to hold the bureau accountable for its unlawful conduct. I demand immediate reinvestigation, deletion of unverifiable accounts, and full compliance with federal law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for continued inaccurate, inconsistent, and unverifiable reporting of a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy on my consumer credit reports. 

This bankruptcy was previously disputed through a CFPB complaint, which placed all three consumer reporting agencies on formal regulatory notice that the accuracy, lawful association, and verification methods used to report this public record were defective. Despite that notice, the bankruptcy continues to be reported without proper verification.

None of the bureaus have produced certified court-issued documentation demonstrating lawful association between me and the alleged bankruptcy filing. Instead, they have relied on third-party aggregation, automated database matching, partial identifiers, and indirect verification methods. These practices do not meet the reasonable reinvestigation standard required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, particularly after regulatory notice has already been provided.

Additionally, the bankruptcy is reported inconsistently across the three bureaus. Each bureau lists different filed dates, reported dates, reference numbers, and court identifiers for the same alleged public record. These material inconsistencies demonstrate that the information is not being maintained with maximum possible accuracy as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e and fails Metro 2 public record reporting standards, which require consistency across core data fields.

I am also a confirmed victim of the Equifax data breach and the XXXX XXXX Data breach. My personal identifying information has been compromised, significantly increasing the risk of mixed-file errors and misattribution of public records. Under these circumstances, the continued reliance on automated or third-party verification methods is unreasonable and noncompliant with federal law. 

The continued reporting of this bankruptcy has caused ongoing financial harm, including suppressed credit scores, reduced access to credit, higher borrowing costs, and emotional distress. 

Despite prior disputes and CFPB notice, the consumer reporting agencies have failed to correct or delete this unverifiable public record.
