Consumer complaint received 2025-06-11 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: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax modified my address history, marking my actual current address as " XXXX. '' At the same time, they backdated a different addressone linked to XXXX XXXX collection accountto XX/XX/XXXX, making it appear as my " Current Address. '' This change coincided suspiciously with XXXX Recoverys claim that the debt was valid despite its age. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax received my dispute regarding XXXX XXXX collection account. Despite actively updating my credit file that day, they falsely claimed they couldnt locate my credit file. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a postcard from Equifax stating they were unable to locate my credit file. That same day, I called Equifax at XXXX, and they were able to access my file without issueyet they claimed there was no dispute on record and asked if I wanted to submit a new one. I refused and immediately escalated the issue by filing CFPB complaint # XXXX. 
As of XX/XX/XXXX, my Equifax credit report still listed XXXX XXXX as a collection account. However, by XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX was completely removed from my report. Despite this, on XX/XX/XXXX, CFPB closed my complaint with the explanation that Equifax was unable to locate my credit file. Their response included misleading reasons such as lack of recent credit activity, even though Equifax actively updated my credit file on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX same days they made address modifications and received my dispute. 
Further evidence contradicts XXXX claim that they could not locate my file : I later received a letter from XXXX XXXX confirming that Equifax had forwarded my dispute to them for review, proving that Equifax had access to my report the entire time. Additionally, my credit report from XX/XX/XXXX clearly shows that my current address was altered to " XXXX, '' with the XXXX Recovery-linked address backdated to XX/XX/XXXX. This suggests Equifax XXXX have aligned my credit file with XXXX XXXX reporting instead of maintaining accurate consumer records. 
I am requesting a formal investigation into Equifax 's deceptive handling of my dispute. Their claim of being unable to locate my file was false, and their manipulation of my address history raises serious concerns about accuracy in consumer credit reporting. Their actions misrepresented my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I demand regulatory scrutiny to ensure accountability.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint is submitted under the authority of FCRA Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) to request that TransUnion immediately block and delete the following fraudulent and unauthorized accounts from my consumer credit report. These accounts are tied to identity theft and were never opened or authorized by me. By law, TransUnion must take action within four business days of receiving this notice.

The following accounts are falsely reported and must be permanently removed : A credit card account with XXXX XXXX opened on XX/XX/year>, with a balance of {$5000.00} A credit account with XXXXXXXX XXXX opened on XX/XX/year>, with a balance of {$12000.00} In addition to being fraudulent, both of these accounts were previously removed from my credit report and have been reinserted without proper notification or certification of accuracy. This constitutes a direct violation of FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ), which requires that the furnisher of the information certify its accuracy and that the consumer be notified in writing within five business days of reinsertion. I possess documentation showing the prior deletion of these accounts, making this an even more serious violation. 

Pursuant to FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I formally dispute the accuracy of these items and demand full reinvestigation. TransUnion must provide details of the verification process, including the method of verification used and any original documentation or signed contracts relied upon. If this can not be produced, these accounts qualify as prima facie evidence of unlawful reinsertion and fraudulent reporting.

I am writing to formally dispute the continued presence of inaccurate information on my credit report, despite multiple previous attempts to rectify these errors. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are obligated to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you report. 

These inaccuracies have adversely affected my creditworthiness and have caused undue stress and financial hardship.

XXXXXXXX XXXX was fined nearly {$28.00} XXXX for providing inaccurate, negative information about its customers to credit reporting agencies and for delays in correcting errors. 
TransUnion faced a {$23.00} XXXX fine for failures related to tenant screening and security freezes, which included not ensuring the accuracy of rental background checks. 

These cases highlight the serious consequences of non-compliance with the FCRA. 

I am requesting that you : XXXX. XXXX a thorough and impartial reinvestigation of the disputed items. 
XXXX. Delete or correct all inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. 
XXXX. Provide me with a copy of the updated credit report reflecting these changes. 

Please be advised that failure to comply with these requests may compel me to seek legal remedies, including filing complaints with the CFPB and pursuing litigation for damages resulting from your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because a consumer reporting agency has failed to comply with its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). After disputing inaccurate information on my credit report, I submitted a formal requestpursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) and 1681e ( b ) seeking a clear and detailed explanation of the reinvestigation process. Specifically, I requested information outlining the steps taken to verify the disputed data, the name, address, and telephone number of the data furnisher, and any documentation relied upon to support the continued reporting of the item. 

To date, the agency has not provided any of the requested information. This failure to disclose required details violates the FCRAs standards for transparency and accountability and raises serious concerns about the accuracy and integrity of the reinvestigation process. The agencys noncompliance may constitute willful or negligent violations under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o and could result in civil liability.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to have the following information removed from my credit file, the items that I need to have deleted will be attached in a pdf document. I have several accounts that I DID NOT apply for listed on my credit report. My information was exposed in the Equifax Data Breach and as a result someone opened up several fraudulent accounts in my name. I ask that these items be deleted so my credit report will only show accurate information. I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and have also enclosed copies of the report. According to FCRA 6058B this information must be blocked within 4 days. Equifax has been slow in responding to my request via postal mail so now I'm involving the CFPB. This inaccurate information is causing me lots of stress and discomfort and embarrassment.
