Hi, My name is XXXX XXXX. I sent a letter concerning erroneous and unknown things on my credit score record. To this present day, over 30 days later, I actually have no longer obtained a response yet. I sense like Im being taken advantaged of and being unnoticed. Section 611 ( a ), It states that failure to research these objects inside 30 days offers a purpose to straight away remove those items from my credit report. Its been over 30 days so they have to be deleted directly. I demand that those debts be deleted without delay or I will report for litigation due to the stress you have caused me. My records turned into also impacted by way of the XXXX  data breach and might are becoming into the fingers of the wrong person.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, my credit monitoring account on XXXX XXXX reported a XXXX drop in my credit, from XXXX to XXXX, as reported to XXXX XXXX by Transunion. Today, XX/XX/2021, fourteen days later, I still see no evidence that my credit situation has changed in any way to warrant such a huge drop. Transunion has not provided to XXXX XXXX an altered report reflecting the XX/XX/2021 drop, nor does the credit report on Transunion reflect any changes, other than their own internal investigation, for which they provide no information.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: OH
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX we placed an order with XXXX XXXX for a couch with a total financed amount of {$3100.00} through Affirm. XXXX XXXX failed to deliver the product and in XXXX of XXXX we were granted a refund that was issued back to Affirm. During that time, we made monthly payments to Affirm in the amount of {$260.00} in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX for a total payment of {$1000.00}. 

Affirm granted us a refund of our payments on XX/XX/XXXX for {$840.00}. 

Upon researching the discrepancy, we were informed that Affirm does not refund interest payments as a policy. Seeing as how we never received the items ordered and that Affirm received a full refund from XXXX XXXX, I feel that it is unjustified that they retain our interest payment as we should be entitled to the full amount that we paid. 

I am curious about the legality of withholding interest on refunds for products that were never received.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to Transunion was XX/XX/2022 but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B, which states that the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days. The account listed below is still reporting on my Credit Reports and need to delete immediately : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I called Transunion after I purchased a credit report from XXXX XX/XX/2022. After receiving a copy of my report, I saw these UNVERIFIABLE items on my personal profile, I noticed that there were XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX*on my credit report which are UNKNOWN to me. This is disappointing because I have been paying XXXX XXXX to get a report every month and I have been disputing fraud items on my credit report all this time. One of the staff told me to visit https : //www.ftc.gov/ and Report the Fraudulent accounts and have them BLOCKED OR REMOVED from my credit file. Ive attached a copy of the identity theft report ( FTC report # : XXXX ), and guess what I found? Per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B ( a ) the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days with ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

A copy of my Utility Bill, drivers license, and Social Security Number are all included in this complaint. I want you to know that I am telling the truth and by Transunion not blocking these accounts are inadvertently resulting in me being extorted.

Complaint:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 130 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.
