Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Please dispute the following accounts that have been opened or used in my name as a result of a recent data breach. I was recently notified that my personal information may have been compromised, and I have reason to believe that this has led to unauthorized activity on my credit report and/or new accounts being opened without my consent. I did not authorize the opening or use of this account and was not aware of its existence until reviewing my credit report ( or receiving a collection notice. This activity is the result of identity theft stemming from a data breach.

Please investigate this matter and respond to me in writing at your earliest convenience. I expect a response within 30 days, as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and applicable state laws.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

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.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against inaccurate and unverifiable information being reported on my consumer credit file. The credit reporting agencies and furnishers are required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) to ensure maximum accuracy of consumer information, yet multiple addresses and accounts appearing on my report are wrong, outdated, or unlawfully reported. These errors are damaging my creditworthiness, preventing me from accessing fair lending, and causing ongoing harm. I have never lived at the listed wrong addresses and the accounts in question either do not belong to me, are being reported inaccurately, or are in violation of federal law. I am requesting the CFPB to investigate and hold the bureaus and furnishers accountable for violating my consumer rights under FCRA, FDCPA, and related laws. 

Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  High Balance : {$12000.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/year> Issue : Late Payment Law : FCRA 623 furnishers must report complete and accurate payment history ; 611 consumer can dispute inaccurate information Story : This account shows late payments which are inaccurate. I have consistently made payments on time as per my statements and bank records. The reporting of these late payments is damaging my credit score unfairly. I request the bureau to verify payment history with the creditor and correct any discrepancies immediately. 

Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Date Opened : XX/XX/year> Balance Owed : {$0.00} Issue : Charge Off Law : FCRA 623 accurate reporting required; 611 reinvestigation right Story : This account shows a charge-off status incorrectly. My records indicate a {$0.00} balance and no default that justifies a charge-off. This inaccurate reporting harms my credit profile and misleads potential creditors. I request the bureau to verify with XXXX XXXX and remove or correct this item immediately if unverified. 

I am requesting that the CFPB take immediate action to hold the credit bureaus and furnishers accountable. I demand deletion of all inaccurate addresses and removal or correction of the accounts that can not be properly verified according to federal law. The presence of these items is in violation of the FCRA and FDCPA, and they are causing financial harm, emotional distress, and blocking fair access to credit opportunities. I respectfully ask the CFPB to enforce compliance and ensure my consumer rights are fully protected.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I previously lived at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX in either XXXX or XXXX. Before moving out, I specifically requested to complete a walk-through inspection so any issues or balances could be addressed, but management told me it was not necessary and instructed me to simply leave the keys. At no point before, during, or after moving out was I notified of any outstanding balance, nor was I informed that the account would be reported to a credit bureau or sent to a debt collector. 

I was never given the opportunity to resolve or dispute any alleged charges prior to this negative reporting. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I should have received proper notice and the chance to validate or dispute the debt before it was reported. That did not happen in this case.

Company: RENASANT CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I closed back in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX with renasant bank as my lender and XXXX XXXX as my closing attorney. At closing they estimated my escrow based on taxes for next year as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and everything went smoothly. A few months later ( now in XXXX ) my loan is transferred to XXXX XXXX  for them to service. Shortly after XXXX XXXX  identifies that there is an outstanding balance on the city taxes and city sanitation that is pass due for the previous year ( XXXX ) and they pay that as well as the late penalty fees associated ( a balance of {$1000.00} plus a {$28.00} penalty for XXXX tax and a balance of {$580.00} with a {$16.00} penalty for XXXX sanitation ) out of my escrow account. After this I no longer had enough money in my account to pay all the remaining planned taxes and sanitation so my account went into a shortage. 
I understand not getting the tax payment right at closing and there being a slight difference but missing out and entire payment for city and sanitation and having it go unpaid while its accruing penalty fees seems like a huge mistake on the boarder of malpractice?
