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

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I filed CFPB Complaint ID # XXXX and XXXX against XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX and Equifax , because XXXX XXXX had improperly made a hard inquiry on my Equifax credit report in connection with a credit line increase request. ( The date of the inquiry is also XXXX. XXXX. ) XXXXXXXX XXXX took honest and ethical action by immediately agreeing to delete the hard inquiry from my Equifax credit report. As of XXXX XXXX, this hard inquiry still remains on my Equifax credit file. This is the second time that Equifax and one of my several XXXXissued credit cards have had issues " communicating '' concerning errors on my credit report, and each time Equifax blames it on the creditor, when it's Equifax who has consistent issues removing inaccurate data when requested -- and this time is no different. I have attached a screen shot directly from my XXXX XXXX Equifax credit file -- obtained directly from their website -- that shows the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX hard inquiry is still reporting, and thus negatively impacting my credit score. I believe Equifax has had sufficient time to remove this inquiry when asked to do so by XXXX XXXX. I have also attached the letter from XXXX 's that indicates they have requested the hard inquiry be removed from Equifax. I will not be caught in a back-and-forth game between the XXXX and Equifax, because each will undoubtedly blame the other for why the hard inquiry has not yet been deleted. I firmly believe, based on Equifax 's track record of failed investigations and improper management of consumer credit data, that it is them who bears the responsibility for this hard inquiry remaining on my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, a {$39.00} credit was applied to my account. However, Per Prosper, on XX/XX/year>, an unsolicited refund of {$39.00} was issued for this credit, and at the same time, a {$39.00} annual fee was charged to my account. I never received the refund Prosper states was issued. Also the refund was processed before the six-month period had passed from when the credit was issued, based on my billing cycle. 

I did not receive statements for XXXX, XXXX, or XX/XX/year>, nor was I notified of the refund or the annual fee charge in XXXX. According to the last statement I have access to ( XX/XX/year> ), I had a credit balance, and I do not use this card for any additional transactions that would result in a balance. 

The {$39.00} credit should have fully covered my balance, as per the cardholder agreement, meaning no minimum payment should have been due, and no late payment should have been reported. 

The XX/XX/year> statement showed a XXXX balance, despite an attempt for autopay on the XXXX, which was returned same day per transaction history. The statement closed on the XXXX. Late fees were later charged to my account in XXXX and XX/XX/year>.
