Consumer complaint received 2022-09-23 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I sent letters out to all 3 credit bureaus regarding items on my credit report that are not accurate which is a FCRA violation and you must abide by the law. All information I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. I am the one sending the letters and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair or 3rd party. I know this is a violation of my rights due to the bureaus not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I just want these accounts to be removed from my credit report immediately or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I am trying to purchase a home soon and these negative items are holding my score back.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I began to work on my credit file last year when I noticed that several accounts were reporting negatively that I had no knowledge of. While I was able to rectify most of the accounts, one remains, which is the account reporting from XXXX XXXX. At the time this account was opened, I was federally incarcerated. It was clearly a case of identity theft. I provided not only the credit bureaus, but XXXX XXXX with a signed FTC fraud affidavit, an affidavit they required for their bank, my incarceration records, and a police report. 

It was not possible for me to apply for credit. I have tried without avail and demand that not only the credit bureau, but also XXXX XXXX remove this information as this is causing me great financial harm as I try to rebuild my life and future. Both are in violation of SEVERAL laws in regards to credit reporting.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This company has infringed on my right to privacy, I have never given this company any right to have my personal information. This company is trying to collect on an alleged debt. This company reported unverified inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies, which has greatly harmed my ability to offer or extend my credit to other financial institutions. This is against federal laws. This account is not mine and was opened using my personal identification without my consent. When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615 ( f ). Ive also never given this company permission to contact me which according to the FCRA is also against federal laws. I have asked numerous times for this company to stop furnishing false information to the CRAs and also for them to stop contacting me. My next step will be to file suit. This is my last time asking to please remove this account, its not mine.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
It appears that my credit with you has been compromised. I was going through my records & noticed many files which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any account which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute item do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly. 

Please remove/block the disputed item as it was opened without my consent or knowledge, pursuant to Section 605B of Fair Credit Reporting Act.
