Consumer complaint received 2025-10-02 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Copy provided of the page with the XXXX promotion expiration date. 
No notification email or mailing from credit card company of the change, which shows on my online account as XXXX. I don't have a statement showing that promotion expiration date. 

My account continues to be manipulated in an effort to distort, retaliate, and impose the deferred interest fees to add to my credit account. Had I not logged into my account today I would not have known this change occurred. 

I'm baffled, confused, and frustrated with how my credit card account is being handled, because why is the credit card company going out of their way to keep with this negative behavior. Should the credit card company have more compassion and follow some sort of law with informing consumers when a change such as this is made. 

I don't understand and I'm just at a lose for words. This experience has made an already awful experience even more dreadful.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I always pay my bills on time, I know this for sure. I dont understand why this company says I paid late in some months. According to USC 1666b, any billing mistake should be fixed and marked as paid on time.

I demand the late payment reported to be updated.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the XXXX account reported on my credit file. I have previously submitted multiple disputes regarding this account, yet Experian, transunion & equifax, continue to report it as validated, despite the account containing incomplete and inconsistent information across all major credit reporting agencies.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to maintain accurate, complete, and verifiable information on consumer credit reports ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). Despite my repeated disputes, Experian has failed to correct or remove this account, which I contend contains material inaccuracies. The accounts reporting is inconsistent in areas such as : Payment history and status Account balance Date of last payment These inconsistencies suggest that the account has not been properly verified, and its continued presence on my report constitutes a violation of my rights under the FCRA. I am requesting that Experian, Transunion & equifax delete it from my credit report immedeately
