Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Im contacting you to formally dispute an item currently listed on my credit report that is inaccurate and not in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, the information in question does not meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy, as required under FCRA Section 607 ( b ).

I take my credit and financial record very seriously, and I expect that anything being reported under my name is fully accurate and properly verified. In this case, that standard is not being met. Whether due to outdated, incorrect, or incomplete reporting, the presence of this item is misrepresenting my credit history and unfairly affecting my financial reputation.

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has failed to comply with its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 609 by not properly verifying the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in my credit file. I have exercised my right to request full reinvestigation of every item in my report, yet the bureau has either not provided adequate verification or continues to report unverified information. This constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law and raises serious concerns about the integrity and accuracy of my consumer report.

Complaint narrative:
I'm contacting you because I recently discovered a credit inquiry on my report that I had no knowledge of, did not authorize, and did not initiate. This inquiry is fraudulent, plain and simple, and it should have never been made under my name.

I have never applied for credit or given any form of consent to the company that pulled this inquiry. I only found out about it while reviewing my credit report, and Im XXXX  that someone was able to access my personal credit file without my permission. This is not just a mistake it is unauthorized access to my private financial information, and it is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
Formal Complaint Regarding Experian Report Number XXXX Failure to Validate Debt and Violations of the FDCPA and FCRA Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding the handling of my credit report, specifically related to Report Number XXXX. Despite my repeated disputes and requests for validation of the debt listed, Experian has failed to properly validate the debt, and this ongoing failure constitutes violations of both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Background : I have submitted multiple disputes to Experian regarding an alleged debt. Each time, I have requested that they validate the debt as required under the FDCPA, and I have asked for full documentation that proves the legitimacy of this debt. Additionally, I have requested that Experian comply with the FCRA by ensuring that the information is accurately reflected on my credit report, in light of my ongoing disputes.

Issues : Failure to Validate Debt : Despite my repeated requests for debt validation, Experian has failed to provide the required documentation supporting the debt in question. Under Section 809 of the FDCPA, I am entitled to receive a detailed validation of the debt within 30 days, which I have not received.

Failure to Correct Credit Report : Under the FCRA, Experian is required to investigate my disputes and update my credit report accordingly. I have submitted multiple disputes, but the incorrect and unvalidated information has remained on my report, negatively impacting my credit standing.

Violation of FDCPA : The continued reporting of an unverified debt, despite my clear and timely disputes, is a violation of the FDCPA. I believe Experian has failed to follow proper procedures and provide evidence of the debt 's validity, and this has caused me undue harm.

Requested Resolution : I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene to investigate this matter and ensure that Experian : Validates the Debt in accordance with the FDCPA.

Corrects my Credit Report by removing any unverified and inaccurate information in accordance with the FCRA.

Provides Documentation supporting any claims made regarding this debt.

Complies with Federal Regulations regarding consumer rights under the FDCPA and FCRA moving forward.

I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.
