Complaint ID: 8198773

Date Received: 2024-01-22

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

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

Consumer Complaint: I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

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

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

Consumer Complaint: I am writing a to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding inaccurate late payments that remain on my credit report despite multiple attempts to correct the information. The credit reporting agencies and the creditor have failed to provide any documentation or evidence of the accuracy of their reporting, yet they continue to report the inaccurate information on my credit report. I have sent multiple letters to the credit reporting agencies disputing the accuracy of the late payments, citing laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Credit Billing Act. In response, the credit reporting agencies claimed to have verified the accuracy of their reporting, without providing any evidence or documentation to support their claims. I have also requested that my personal information ( Address and name ) be updated and have provided proof of such with my Driver 's License and bank statement with the credit reporting agencies. XXXX has refused to do so. On XX/XX/23, I called XXXX and spoke to an agent named XXXX who refused to provide me with an Employee ID for security reasons. XXXX claimed that I would have to call all of the creditors on my credit report that are reporting my name incorrectly to have it corrected, even creditors that I no longer have an account with in other words closed. This further proves that this credit reporting agency is intentionally reporting inaccurate information about myself even though I have provided proof multiple times when disputing. I will be uploading documents as proof of my dispute letters

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

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: I have already sent a letter addressing the XXXX and unknown items on my XXXX report, but unfortunately, I have not received XXXX response even after XXXX XXXX. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within XXXX XXXX, they should be promptly removed from my XXXX report. Since it has been over XXXX XXXX, 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.
