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: CA

Complaint narrative:
Heres a CFPB complaint description that references relevant federal and California state laws : -- - **Complaint Description : ** I am writing to dispute a fraudulent account that appears on my credit report. The account details are as follows : - **Account Name : ** XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( Also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) - **Account Number : ** XXXX - **Date Opened : ** XX/XX/2024 - **Balance : ** {$190.00} This account was not authorized by me and was opened as a result of identity theft. I have never had any dealings with this company and did not consent to this account being opened in my name. This fraudulent account has severely impacted my creditworthiness and has caused undue stress and hardship. 

This account was previously removed from my credit report but has inexplicably reappeared. I am requesting its immediate removal once again and that it be permanently blocked from reappearing on my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I am entitled to have fraudulent information resulting from identity theft removed from my credit report. Additionally, Californias Identity Theft Protection Act ( XXXX. XXXX. Code XXXX ) reinforces my right to dispute and demand the removal of fraudulent accounts. 

This repeated reappearance of the account violates my consumer rights under both federal and state law. I demand that this account be removed and blocked from my credit report permanently and that I receive confirmation of this action in writing. 

Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no choice but to pursue further action, including legal remedies under the FCRA and California state law.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored.

Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

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!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Equifax Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have previously submitted a complaint # XXXX Comenity about this issue and they denied I was a customer. I am very much a customer and I am the ONLY one on the account. My account number with Comenity Bank/Alpheon is XXXX. This is fraudulent. I was charged {$3600.00} in interest on my balance of {$2400.00} on XX/XX/year>. I enrolled in an interest free for 24 months account through my XXXX XXXX office. I paid the amount they assigned each month. However, at the end of the period, I was suddenly charged an additional {$3600.00} in interest. I called several times and spoke to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX from XX/XX/year> all of whom said they were " supervisors '' /senior account specialists when I asked for a supervisor. I also wrote a letter on XX/XX/year> to Comenity Bank detailing the situation and their response redirected me back to the XXXX number with no acknowledge or resolution. All to no avail. I offered to pay the balance ton the phone with XXXX the day I realized I was charged that much interest but was told I could not. just pay the balance and delete the interest. This is an illegal and unscrupulous practice and it is adversely affecting my pristine credit score and my future financial endeavors. Please advise me on how to delete this from my credit as they have already stated I am not a customer. Thank you for intervening for me.

Complaint narrative:
I have a checking account with CHIME with direct deposit. On XX/XX/XXXX my account was hacked and two unauthorized withdrawals were made. One for {$100.00} and one for {$590.00}.

I contacted CHIME via telephone and explained what had happened. They reimbursed the {$100.00}, but denied the {$590.00}. I couldn't understand why it was a split decision when it was the exact same type of situation, just a different amount. They were vague at best as to why. Wednesday XX/XX/26 I had a conference call with CHIME and my XXXX XXXX XXXX agent. We were on the phone for an hour with the same run around and passing off from this department to that department with the same result. No valid explanation and no resolution. My agent suggested that I contact your organization.
