Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I disputed the late charges reported on my credit reports by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding my mortgage account. These charges were incurred while my account was in active court proceedings with legal representation in an effort to prevent foreclosure. As such, these late fees should not have been applied during this period. 

I have previously disputed this information with the credit reporting agencies, but the outcome returned was " verified and updated '' and " verified as accurate ''. However, I believe this determination is incorrect based on the legal status of my account at the time. I also have documentation to substantiate my claim, including my identification, records showing the dates when legal proceedings began, when they concluded, and my Experian Dispute Results. 

Given the circumstances, I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau review my dispute and require XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  to remove these erroneous late charges from my credit reports. These late charges are unfairly impacting my credit standing and should not be reported as delinquencies since my account was subject to legal proceedings beyond my control. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt review and response. Please let me know if additional information is required.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
