Company: Colony Brands, Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
This insignificant company -- Ginny 's -- is reporting that I had a 39-day late on an item I never received in which it agreed back inXX/XX/2020 that there was an accounting error. I have demanded this item be removed from my credit report but each time I dispute XXXX lies and states it has been investigated and no update. CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE GINNY 'S AND DELETE THIS BOGUS ITEM. XXXX 's latest investigation : Date Submitted Date Completed Results XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX View Dispute Results According to XXXX an investigation was completed in two days. There was no investigation done in two days. This bogus item from Ginny 's should be deleted immediately. I have never, ever had a 30-day late on any of my accounts with many that have been paid in full. I am surprised at Ginny 's because on record I am an excellent paying customer and often paid in full and keep receiving automatic credit line increases without requesting. I hardly ever use this card because I have other major credit cards that are often paid in full -- no lates, no missed payments. XXXX is the only credit bureau that is reporting this bogus information. It is so irritating that this bogus information will sit on my credit report for 7 years. I will never accept this!!!! The only adverse account I have had in over 10 years. Unbelievable!! Ginny 's are aware they are reporting bogus information because I contacted the CEO back inXX/XX/2020 and not sure why the accounting error has not been corrected -- the start of the pandemic. XXXX has a track record of reporting bogus information and refusing to due proper investigations and follow FCRA laws.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX the consumer, called Trans Union , Fraud Victim Assistance department on XX/XX/XXXX to have inaccurate false, and misleading information removed from my consumer credit report. I was told they would not be able to change any information without an FTC or Police Report concerning any of the false, inaccurate, or misleading personal consumer private financial information that I stated was incorrect, misleading and false on my consumer profile that they were reporting without my permission that was mailed to me on XX/XX/XXXX. They would not initiate a dispute over the phone without the Police report or FTC report. As a consumer, it is my right to financial privacy, equality, and respect according to Congress. Trans Union as a consumer reporting agency has a duty to report fairly and accurately true information at all times on behalf of the consumer. They are obligated to do this by Congress. This a violation of my rights and my consumer creditworthiness has been injured as this false and misleading personal financial information has been given to over 50 companies ob multiple times. The inaccurate false and misleading information is a result of identity theft concerning transactions that were not initiated by the consumer. If any information was collected from any self-test employment, I was never properly disclosed nor did I give my written ink signature to agree to have this false, inaccurate, and misleading information placed on my consumer profile. According to Regulation B, Credit profiles are considered false fictitious information and should not be used when evaluating an application for consumer credit transactions but the use of a fictitious profile has to be disclosed to the consumer and they have to volunteer to take the self-test. I was never aware. I am requesting methods of verification used for this information to appear on my credit profile and they actually certify that the creditors met to provide this information on my consumer profile. Also, remove the inaccurate information. Also, Trans Union has sold for profit my consumer profile and I was not compensated.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Experian, the credit reporting company, has systematic policy and procedure failures in verifying and protecting the identity and credit reports of consumers. The agency should investigate for misconduct and/or to hold the credit reporting company accountable towards common industry practices already implemented by the other two credit reporting companies. 

Simply providing an individuals full name, full social security number, and zip code is sufficient to gain access to a consumers Experian account. An identity thief can then hijack the account to add fraudulent information or unfreeze the consumers credit report to initiate a fraudulent credit inquiry. 

Furthermore, their membership support representative are not properly or consistently trained on identity verification of consumers. Having called on three different occasions I encounter two different lax identity verification methods. It is no surprise an identity thief was able to gain access to my account, lock me out of my account, and unlock my credit file in order to initiate a fraudulent credit transaction. 

I hope the CFPB or a plaintiffs law firm can investigate their practices. The failures on Experians behalf in my experience are not unique to me, but systemic to millions of consumers who reply on the credit reporting agency for the integrity of their credit report.
