Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account on my credit report. I was previously listed as an authorized user on this account, which has since been charged off. However, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B & 1681c, I should not be held responsible for this debt, as I was never a primary account holder.

As per FCRA 1681c ( a ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure that only accurate and verifiable information is included in consumer credit files. Since I was only an authorized user and never financially liable for the account, my credit report should not reflect this accounts delinquency or charge-off status.

Additionally, FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) mandates that furnishers of information provide accurate data to consumer reporting agencies. Reporting this account under my credit history misrepresents my financial obligations and may unfairly impact my creditworthiness. 

I request the immediate removal of this account from my credit report to ensure compliance with the FCRA. Please conduct an investigation and provide written confirmation of the deletion at your earliest convenience. 

Attached, you will find a copy of my identification and a recent credit report highlighting the disputed item for reference. If further information is needed, please contact me at XXXX or XXXX. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a response within the timeframe outlined in FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 30 days ).

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I opened a dispute with Experian regarding a {$4700.00} balance on a Credit Card that had been paid off. XX/XX/year> the dispute was resolved by reporting a balance of {$4700.00} when it is XXXX! 

I am not sure where the problem is. Talking with the provider, they see these types of delays all the time in their XXXX  years of banking experience. It took almost a year for Experian to report accurately on the account, after the provider transitioned from XXXX vendor to another. Now this. 

There are differences between Experian, and the way XXXX and XXXX report in weighting aspects. Seems time to engage a Congressman toward a Uniform Credit Reporting Act to make sure all of the reporting agencies are held to the same standards. It's utterly ridiculous something so simple could be allowed to go on for so long essentially negatively impacting unaware consumers.
