Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Initiated in XXXX a fraud alert with Experian. Didn't realize my phone number was off by one number. I tried to get credit and was told that they had to call me first since I had a fraud alert. Call didn't go through and then I checked my alert and realized the mistake. I called Experian numerous times and finally by the grace of God got a real person who took my information and corrected the alert on XXXX and it was fixed on XXXX. I can login and see the information is corrected, but what ever portal that the credit company is using still has the wrong phone number and I still can't get credit and this is causing undue stress on me. Called and called and can't get a real person, its ridiculous.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Experian credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of a personal credit card account at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX. A personal credit card account at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX. A personal loan account at Self Financial on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX and an auto loan account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer FICO credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint XXXX as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.

I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request your assistance in resolving an ongoing issue with TransUnion, which is continuously reporting fraudulent accounts on my credit report, despite my numerous attempts to have them removed. I have provided TransUnion with both an FTC Identity Theft Report and a police report regarding these accounts, yet they persist in reporting this inaccurate information.

This situation is severely affecting my life in numerous ways, including but not limited to my ability to secure housing, credit, and employment. The false accounts are negatively impacting my credit score and overall financial wellbeing, making it difficult to move forward despite my efforts to rectify the situation.

I believe TransUnions refusal to remove these fraudulent accounts constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As you are aware, under the FCRA, I am entitled to have inaccurate or fraudulent information corrected or removed from my credit report within a reasonable timeframe, once valid documentation has been provided. TransUnion 's failure to do so is not only a violation of these protections but also a source of immense personal and financial distress.

I kindly request the CFPB to investigate this matter and compel TransUnion to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit report as soon as possible. Your intervention is necessary to ensure my rights as a consumer are upheld and that I am able to restore my credit to its accurate standing.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
