Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I sent out a letter requesting validation of the account I discovered on my credit report. XXXX, XXXX, AND TRANSUNION have failed to respond in a timely manner to my dispute letter and it has been well over 30days since my initial letter. XXXX XXXX XXXX also failed to send sufficient documentation, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. The following account is inaccurate and should be removed from my credit report immediately. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX UNVERIFIED It is to my understanding that XXXX, Transunion XXXX and XXXX are in violation of the FCRA for failing to respond to complaints regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. All three agencies have failed to complete an investigation into the accounts in question within the 30 days allotted as per the Fair Credit Reporting Agency Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Failure to respond satisfactorily within the 30 days of receipt of the letter mailed ( which I will attach ) may result in a small claims action against all 3 credit bureaus. According to various articles, these companies have been in violation of not responding to consumer complaints. The latest article I have read dates back to this XXXX XX/XX/2022. XXXX most often promised to open investigations of their disputes and send their findings to consumers at later dates. However, it failed to share the outcomes of its investigations with the CFPB. TransUnion made similar promises and also often failed to meet its obligations to share investigation outcomes with the CFPB. In addition, TransUnion often failed to provide a response in instances where it believed that third parties submitted the complaints, even though the CFPB says that consumers can authorize third-party representatives to submit complaints on their behalf. XXXX often took no action in instances where it believed that a third party submitted the complaint, although it did provide substantive responses to other complaints. All three bureaus relied heavily on automated templates to respond to complaints instead of providing a meaningful, personalized response to the consumer. That's despite having up to 60 calendar days to reply. According to the CFPB complaint database, there are more than XXXX complaints between the 3 credit bureaus within the last year regarding problems with credit reporting

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Experian has violated several of my consumer rights. Specifically, they failed to validate a debt at my request within 30 days, which is a FDCPA violation and you continued to report a disputed debt to the Credit Bureaus, another FCRA violation. I certified mailed the documents to them which I was notified was received. Not only have they ignored my prior requests for validation of debt but they continue to report this debt to the credit bureaus causing damage to my character. ALL accounts are to be removed DURING investigation according to 15 U.S Code 1681I ( A ) ( 1.A ). By federal law these accounts are to be removed from my consumer report while a Full and Complete investigation is being done. However they have refused to do. Not only have they refused to do so when being notified by letter. but they also refused to do so several times on their recorded phone lines. I understand that companies who violate these laws are subject to fines. It has been longer than 30 days and they refuse to delete the accounts in accordance with federal law. All of the accounts I am disputing are also reporting inaccurate personal information where its my address, phone, number, name or etc. and they refuse to delete them. This is another violation that they are responsible for as well.
