Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the inaccurate inclusion of a bankruptcy on my credit report. I have official documentation from the court that clearly states this bankruptcy should not have been reported to your agency. Despite this confirmation, the bankruptcy remains on my credit file, which is both misleading and unjust. The presence of this incorrect information has the potential to negatively impact my financial standing, and it is crucial that this matter be addressed immediately. 

Additionally, I am deeply concerned about the involvement of an unauthorized third party in this situation. This raises serious questions about the integrity and accuracy of the reporting process, making it even more critical that this issue is investigated and resolved without delay. The presence of unauthorized involvement only amplifies my concerns regarding the security and reliability of my credit file

State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unauthorized access and breach of my educational records, financial aid data, and IRS tax information by the U.S. Department of Education ( DOE ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This breach constitutes a direct violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) and Title IV regulations, as well as an egregious violation of my personal privacy and financial security.

I recently discovered that my sensitive and legally protected records were accessed and potentially shared without my consent. This includes but is not limited to : My academic records and personally identifiable information ( PII ).

My Free Application for Federal Stu
dent Aid ( FAFSA ) data, including financial aid history and loan information.

My IRS tax transcripts, which were obtained and used without proper authorization. 
These actions violate my rights under FERPA ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ), which grants me the right to control access to my educational records, as well as Title IV of the Higher Education Act, which governs the use and protection of federal student aid information. Furthermore, unauthorized access to my IRS tax data raises serious concerns regarding potential identity theft, fraud, and violations of federal data security standards. 
Given the severity of this breach and the direct impact on my financial security and privacy, I demand the following corrective actions : Immediate discharge and cancellation of all my federal student loans due to the breach of my financial aid and tax records, which invalidates the integrity of my loan agreements. 
A formal investigation into this data breach, including details on how my records were accessed, who accessed them, and for what purpose. 
A full report on the extent of my data exposure and the corrective measures being implemented to prevent future violations. 
Immediate notification to all major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX ) to place a fraud alert, deletion and investigate any unauthorized activity that may have resulted from this breach. 
This breach has caused significant distress and concern regarding the security of my personal and financial data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
The late payment remark on my credit report is negatively affecting my FICO score, and I am requesting its removal to ensure that my credit profile accurately reflects my financial responsibility. Since payment history makes up approximately XXXX  % of my FICO score, it plays a critical role in determining my creditworthiness. Even a single late payment can lead to a significant decrease in my score, particularly if I have previously maintained a strong record of timely payments. 

This incorrect late payment is unfairly impacting my ability to access financial opportunities, including loan approvals and competitive interest rates. Because lenders and financial institutions heavily rely on FICO scores when assessing risk, this erroneous remark could result in increased borrowing costs or even credit denials. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to dispute inaccurate or unverified information on my credit report. If this late payment can not be substantiated or is found to be incorrect, it must be removed immediately. Additionally, I am requesting a goodwill adjustment from the creditor, as my history of responsible financial management demonstrates that this late payment does not accurately reflect my reliability.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX  I received a statement from Comenity BankXXXX XXXX I have never been to a XXXX or heard of Comenity. When I reached out to the company they said someone applied for a line of credit and charged $ XXXX on XX/XX/year>. I told them that this was fraud and to close the account. The company closed the account immediately and began a fraud investigation. On XX/XX/XXXX I had a credit alert and this had hit my credit negatively. I called the company and asked for the judgment and they said they found me guilty. I asked why, for more info., told them this was not me etc. They failed to give me much information and told me I needed to hire a lawyer or file a police report. I proceeded to call all of the credit bureaus today, filed a formal police report, and called the company several times requesting information. The individual who opened an account under my name is using my maiden name with my current address and drivers license number. The company is investigating the claim again, but the man I spoke to this morning did not sound hopeful. I will escalate this to an attorney if needed and I am shocked that they have not called me or updated me on this. I found out by a credit alert. Comenity Bank is a scam.

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for their failure to remove fraudulent accounts from my credit report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which mandates the blocking of information resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving a dispute and an identity theft report. 

I submitted my FTC Identity Theft Report ( No. XXXX ) and disputed the following fraudulent accounts that were opened in my name without my consent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Amount : {$10000.00} These accounts are fraudulent, unauthorized, and illegally harming my financial standing. Under the FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), the credit bureaus are legally required to block and remove this information within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving my report. However, they have failed to comply with this legal mandate.

Legal Basis for Immediate Removal 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( FCRA Blocking Information Resulting from Identity Theft ) A consumer reporting agency must block identity theft-related information within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving proof of identity and an identity theft report.

The failure to block or remove these fraudulent accounts violates federal law.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 8 ) Creditors and collection agencies must not report inaccurate or false information to credit bureaus. The listed accounts are fraudulent and must be deleted immediately. 
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Enforcement Authority The CFPB has the power to enforce violations of the FCRA and FDCPA, including imposing penalties for non-compliance.
