Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear TransUnion, I am writing to express my profound disappointment with your handling of my credit report. Since XX/XX/XXXX, you have been reporting inaccurate and false information on my credit file, despite multiple notifications from me and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) that the information is the result of identity theft. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I notified you of the identity theft and provided you with an FTC Identity Theft Report and a police report. Despite this, you have continued to report the erroneous information as collections on my credit report. Specifically, the account in question is with XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, with the phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX. 

I also requested that you validate this debt, and to date, you have failed to do so. This ongoing error has severely damaged my ability to earn a living and directly affected my chance of obtaining a {$5000.00} loan, which was denied due to the falsely reported collections on my credit report. Your continued reporting of this incorrect information, despite being fully aware that it is a case of identity theft, has cost me significant time, money, and emotional distress. 

Given these circumstances, I have decided to pursue legal action against TransUnion in small claims court. Your failure to correct these inaccuracies, despite being provided with all necessary documentation, demonstrates a clear disregard for my rights and responsibilities under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I urge you to take immediate corrective action to remove the false information from my credit report and prevent further harm to my financial well-being. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX SSN : XXXX XXXX : XXXX Phone Number : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding inaccuracies in my credit report as provided by Equifax. Equifax has reported late payments on accounts that have previously been paid in full. These inaccuracies are adversely affecting my credit score and are causing undue stress and financial harm. 

The details of my complaint are as follows : Accounts in Question : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Nature of the Inaccuracy : Late Payments Reporting after Paid account Date Equifax has reported late payments for the aforementioned accounts after the balances had been satisfied and paid in full. These accounts were settled, yet Equifax continues to report new late payments, which is factually incorrect. 
Impact on Credit Score : These erroneous late payment reports have significantly lowered my credit score, impacting my ability to obtain credit and resulting in higher interest rates on loans. 
I have already attempted to resolve this issue directly with Equifax but have not received a satisfactory resolution. Attached to this letter, you will find copies of my payment confirmations, statements showing the accounts were paid in full, and any correspondence with Equifax regarding this matter. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's assistance in correcting these inaccuracies. I kindly ask that Equifax update my credit report to accurately reflect the paid status of the accounts and remove any incorrect late payment entries. 

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and inform me of the actions that will be taken to resolve this matter. Should you require any additional information or documentation, I am more than willing to provide it promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Summary : I successfully opened Citibank checking and savings accounts, received email notifications, and a debit card. I deposited the majority of my salary and savings into these accounts. When I attempted to make a payment transfer, Citibank, without any prompt notification, locked my accounts. This has rendered me unable to cover my essential living expenses in a timely manner.

Citibank 's Proposed Solutions : ( 1 ) Visit a branch to discuss the issue.

( 2 ) Wait for at least 3-4 months for them to close my accounts completely and mail a check to me.

Reasons Why These Solutions Are Unreasonable : ( 1 ) I have evidence proving the legality of my funds, but Citibank decided to close my accounts without consulting me for this evidence.

( 2 ) Despite informing customer service that the transfer was initiated by me and successfully passing security verification, Citibank still froze my account citing suspicious activity.

( 3 ) Waiting for a check for 3-4 months means I would be unable to access most of my funds, making it impossible to pay credit card bills, rent, and affecting my credit score significantly. Additionally, there is a risk of the check getting lost in the mail, leading to a potential loss of funds.

( 4 ) I reside in a state that has no Citibank branches. This solution would require me to incur travel and accommodation expenses to another state, which Citibank refuses to cover, forcing me to spend money to reclaim my own funds.
