Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

[ XXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX [ XXXX, Arizona, XXXX ] [ XX/XX/year> ] Experian Information Solutions , Inc . 
Dispute Department RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX Inaccurate Credit Reporting under FCRA and Consumer Law To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. This dispute is submitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items. 
Recent findings by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have brought to light significant concerns regarding Experian 's failure to conduct proper investigations. Specifically, in a lawsuit filed against Experian, the CFPB alleges that the company engaged in sham investigations, violating consumer protection laws by failing to meet its obligations under FCRA As per 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Experian is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable must be promptly deleted or corrected. Failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of federal Law Thereby request that Experian : 1. Conduct a thorough reinvestigation of the following disputed accounts or items [ list the specific accounts or items you are disputing ].

2. Provide me with all documentation used to verify the accuracy of the disputed information.

3. Correct or delete any information that can not be verified or is inaccurate, as mandated by law. 
Given the recent CFPB findings, I expect Experian to handle this dispute with the utmost seriousness and compliance with legal standards. A copy of my identification and anv relevant supporting documents are enclosed to facilitate your investigation If Experian fails to comply with its obligations under the FCRA, I will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the CFPB and pursue any necessary legal action to protect my rights. 
Please respond to this dispute in writing within the legally mandated timeframe. I expect written confirmation of any changes made to my credit file.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This company states i opened an account with them in XX/XX/year> and owe them XXXX. I have never opened any account with them or signed any agreement to do business with them. By XXXX I went through a horrible divorce lost everything I had and would never have been able to obtain credit to open any accounts. I asked them to verify this debt and their timeline. They said they did and it's accurate which is a lie. I would like to see my purchase agreement with them. I would like to see the timeline of when I supposedly purchased this account. They won't find it. If you ask someone to investigate they can't just lie amd say they did and report it back that way. Don't consumers have some rights?

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
