Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim and I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). Despite my repeated efforts to seek validation of the debts in question, the information provided by your bureau is inadequate and far from satisfactory. The following account is of particular concern, as the details provided are insufficient for proper validation : XXXX  XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2015 Balance : {$0.00}. I am extremely disappointed that your bureau has not upheld its obligation to ensure accurate reporting and provide sufficient validation for these debts. As a consumer, I have the right to accurate and verifiable information on my credit report, and it is unacceptable that your bureau has failed to meet this standard. I expect an urgent and thorough investigation into these matters, and I request that you promptly provide any supporting documentation used to validate these debts. Your compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) guidelines is crucial to ensure accurate reporting, and I anticipate your prompt action on this dispute.

On XX/XX/2023 I notified XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax agency that I was a victim of identity theft via certified mail and as of today XX/XX/2023 XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax continues to report information that resulted from the identity theft. Section 605B, Block of Information Resulting From Identity Theft, requires consumer reporting agencies to notify furnishers of information, including financial institutions, that information may be the result of identity theft, and that an identity theft report has been filed. I provided them with FTC report number XXXX and XXXX, as well as a block that had been requested. Upon receiving such notice, Section 623 ( a ) ( 6 ) requires furnishers to block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ; 1. appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

All four requirements were met by me and will be attached to this complaint. At this time the agency has failed a requirement of the FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 to block the reporting of the information in my file that I identified as information that resulted from the identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency which is a violation of law and is civilly liable to me for willful noncompliance actual damages sustained by me as a result of this failure under 15 U.S. Code 1681n.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention that a late payment has been inaccurately recorded on an account that has been not only closed but also settled. This blatant error is not only detrimental to my credit score but also a severe violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This is to express my extreme frustration and anger concerning the inaccurate reporting on my credit file maintained by your bureau. I was the victim & Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. 
I demand an immediate and thorough investigation into this matter and the prompt removal of the erroneously reported late payment. It is inexcusable that your bureau continues to tarnish my credit history with inaccurate information, especially on an account that has been closed and settled. 
The persistence of such inaccuracies damages my financial standing and undermines the integrity of the credit reporting system. I insist that your bureau takes immediate action to correct this oversight and prevent further harm to my credit profile.
