Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. The practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the consumer Financial protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
There are multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that must be removed without delay. Some contain incorrect details that do not match my records, others are entirely unfamiliar, and several have been reported without proper verification. These discrepancies violate the FCRA, which requires all information to be 100 % accurate and backed by legitimate documentation. 

To resolve this matter fairly, I demand that all inaccurate items be permanently removed from my credit report. If the reporting entities can not provide legitimate proof confirming their accuracy, they have no legal right to remain on my file. I expect immediate corrective action to restore the integrity of my credit profile.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me.

The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
I recently applied at chase bank considering they are the closest to my home. Within 72 hours the account was closed without and reason for the decision. I called the company numerous times but no success. I was simply told the account was closed and they would not provide reason. I was also told I could never bank with chase. I think this is an unfair and unusual situation considering I never banked with chase and there may be a chance that a fraudulent account was opened in my name previously. Chase refuses to remove me from their blacklist or help me with any information on fraudulent accounts.
