Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I have already paid the original amount owed- {$800.00}, and yet am continued to be charged {$140.00} every pay period. To date, I've paid a total amount of {$1900.00}.

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their persistent failure to respond to my dispute letters concerning inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite multiple efforts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not fulfilled their duty to acknowledge or investigate my disputes, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after several submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirmation of an investigation, or correction of the disputed information. This lack of action is a clear violation of the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days. 

I request that you update, block, or delete the inaccurate accounts and unauthorized inquiries listed in my credit report. 

Please review the attached letter for additional details. Thank you for your assistance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my frustration and concern regarding the handling of my credit report disputes. Despite my efforts to correct the inaccurate information on my credit report, the errors remain unresolved. 

I have sent multiple dispute letters to address the following inaccurate information : XXXX : Account number : XXXXXXXX XXXX  : Account number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Account number : XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX : Account number : XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Account number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX XXXX  : Account number : XXXX It is disappointing that despite providing evidence to support my claims, these inaccuracies have not been corrected. As a result, I have been forced to resubmit my disputes, which is both time-consuming and frustrating. 

I request immediate action to remove these inaccuracies from my credit report. Please ensure that your investigation process is thorough and complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that only accurate and verifiable information should appear on consumer credit reports. 

Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial. I expect to receive confirmation that these inaccuracies have been corrected and that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history. 

Thank you for your understanding and swift action in resolving this issue.

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: Colony Brands, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I mailed a payoff check but apparently the company XXXX XXXX during business as The Swissy Colony never received the payment. Unfortunately, I can not find that last bill or the check book. I tried to reset my password to view my payment history but I never received a password reset via email from Swiss Colony. I did notice that the envelope window is very narrow and any shift in the statement could cause a mishap. My current bill is {$330.00} effective XX/XX/XXXX with a closing date of XX/XX/XXXX. I called today and was advised my last payment made was XX/XX/XXXX of {$81.00}. I never received an XXXX bill but I received one this week saying I was past due {$30.00} and my next due date is XX/XX/XXXX. I have been mailing this bill every month but creditors are beginning to make it very difficult to choose to mail in payments with instances of checks never reaching there destination. I will send a payoff again today via certified mail so that I can better track it. Additionally The Swiss Colony XXXX number will have a customer on hold almost a half hour then disconnect the call so that you have to start over an call again. These types of actions by a creditor negatively impacts being able to resolve a credit issue. I have requested to close my account but was advised by the representative I will not receive any confirmation that the account has been closed not even once it's paid off in full.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally complain about the ongoing verification of inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite my previous disputes, the following details remain incorrect : 1.Date of Last Activity 2. Date Opened 3.Last Reported Date The dates listed are inaccurate and do not reflect the true status of my accounts. I am deeply concerned about how you have verified this information. 

I request a thorough investigation into these discrepancies, and I expect that the inaccurate information be corrected immediately. Please provide me with a detailed explanation of your verification process and how you concluded that these dates were accurate. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is your responsibility to ensure that all information in my credit report is accurate and up-to-date. Continuously verifying incorrect data not only violates my rights but also damages my creditworthiness. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect to hear from you soon with confirmation that the necessary corrections have been made.
