Consumer complaint received 2025-01-31 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Transunion has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove disputed accounts, as Transunion 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax, Experian and Transunion complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Complaint narrative:
*** THIS IS MY THIRD AND FINAL TIME SUBMITTING THIS DISPUTE AFTER THIS I WILL FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES *** During XXXX ALL OF MY PERSONAL INFORMATION WAS EXPOSED IN THE XXXX DATA BREACH. This includes but is not limited to my social security number, phone number, date of birth, and address. I recently checked my consumer report in XX/XX/XXXX and found there to be multiple fraudulent accounts that were opened in my name as well as fraudulent addresses that are appearing on my consumer reports. I have filed multiple disputes with all XXXX reporting agencies, the only agency to correct my report was XXXX. Transunion and Experian both refuse to update and correct my reports. Instead, they have sent me notices stating the DATA FURNISHERS HAVE VERIFIED THE INFORMATION. This creates an issue as they do not elaborate on what information was used to verify these fraudulent accounts and addresses. Since I am a victim of identity theft, ANY INFORMATION THAT COULD BE USED TO VERIFY ANY FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT IS COMPROMISED AND NEGLIGENT AS IT IS NOT MY INFORMATION. I have also sent proof of identity and my address. I am not required by law to have a state-issued ID or Driver 's License with an address listed, which they asked for, I instead sent a copy of my US Passport and my insurance bill which has my address listed, but they denied this certified information. I have also tried to contact the reporting agencies by phone to speak with a representative but to no avail, I was unable to reach or speak to anyone because of their automated system. This has been very frustrating and inconvenient. The reporting agencies have also allowed the data furnishers to update and re-add accounts that were removed due to the fraud, this DIRECTLY VIOLATES 15US CODE 1681C-2, which states to REMOVE and BLOCK fraudulent accounts listed in an identity theft report.

Complaint narrative:
CashApp closed my account and accused me of gambling for no reason. I was only using the app to pay bills and get paid for selling sandwiches soups and salads. Also my uncle would pay me his portion of the rent. There was no reason for them to shut down my account. I reached out to them several times to resolve the matter. No one ever responded to help me except some automated email saying they would contact me but did not. This has really negatively affected my business that I am trying to start and just the way my every day life was set up.
