Consumer Complaint: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern and dissatisfaction regarding the late opening of account with your company, Credit Bureaus. I have been a loyal customer of your organization and have always appreciated the quality of services you provide. However, I have recently encountered an issue that I believe requires immediate attention and resolution. I initiated the process of opening two new accounts with your company, respectively. I followed all the necessary procedures and submitted the required documentation promptly to ensure a smooth and timely account activation. However, despite my efforts, both accounts have experienced significant delays in being opened, which has resulted in various inconveniences for me, such as delayed access to services I understand that administrative processes can sometimes be complex, but the prolonged delay in opening these accounts has caused undue frustration and inconvenience. It is imperative that these issues be resolved promptly to maintain the trust and confidence I have placed in your company. I kindly request that you take the following actions to address this matter : Expedite the account activation process and ensure that both accounts are opened without further delay. If there are any additional documents or information required from my end, please communicate these requirements clearly and promptly. Ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to prevent such delays from occurring in the future, as timely service is essential for maintaining a strong customer-business relationship. I kindly request a response to this letter within the specified timeframe from the date of receipt. Failure to do so may compel me to explore alternative courses of action to resolve this issue. I value the business relationship I have with Credit Bureaus and hope that we can work together to rectify this situation promptly. I am confident that your prompt attention to this matter will help ensure our continued positive relationship. I am asking for your assistance to correct this late open account in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$120.00}.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: RECENTLY, I FOUND A LOT OF ERRORS AND INACCURACIES ON MY CREDIT REPORTS. THEREFORE, I DISPUTED THEM. I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING ON MY CREDIT REPORT MUST BE 100 % ACCURATE AND COMPLETE! THE ACCOUNTS INVOLVED IN MY PREVIOUS DISPUTE WERE NOT ACCURATE AND MUST BE REMOVED NOW! EQUIFAX AND XXXX VERIFIED THE INACCURATE ACCOUNTS BUT THEY WERE NOT ACCURATE AT ALL! THIS IS UNFAIR AND HURTING MY REPUTATION WITH THE BANKING SYSTEM. As a consumer I request to know all the steps your agency took to insure these items were 100 % accurate under THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT - Method of verification- Description of reinvestigation procedure. A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in THE FCRA- a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available ; by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description.
