Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off.

Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score.

Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ).

Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper.

I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized access to my credit report by several companies has directly harmed both my credit and my credit score. I previously contacted your agency and was assured by a representative that these unauthorized inquiries would be removed. That promise has not been fulfilled these inquiries still remain. This failure to act is completely unacceptable and constitutes negligence on your part. The continued presence of these potentially fraudulent entries is highly alarming and strongly suggests possible identity theft. This unresolved issue is inflicting ongoing emotional and financial harm, and I will not tolerate it any longer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment that has been incorrectly added to my account. I fulfilled my payment obligation in full and on time. In addition to the payment confirmation I received, I also possess an issued check from your institution confirming the processed amount and outstanding balance. A copy of this check is attached as evidence. 

Despite this, a late payment was still reported on my account, which is inaccurate and damaging to my credit profile. This late payment must be removed immediately, as it does not reflect my actual payment history.

For verification, I have attached my identification documents, Social Security Number, and proof of address. These documents confirm my identity and support my request for correction.

I am requesting the following actions : A full investigation into this reporting error.

Immediate removal of the incorrect late payment from all credit bureaus.

Written confirmation once the correction has been completed.

I expect prompt resolution. This matter directly affects my creditworthiness, and I have complied with all responsibilities on my end. I look forward to your swift action.
