Complaint:
I opened a charge account with XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I was approve for {$1000.00}, I have never used this account at all. The account was closed/transferred/sold on XX/XX/XXXX which dropped my credit score. I just got a alert today XX/XX/XXXX stating that my Equifax credit score dropped another 16 points due this same account being acquired from another lender. The company name is XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX. It is no fault of mine that this company 's accounts has been acquired, Again I have never used this account so my score should not be affected.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed the completeness and Accuracy of this collection on my consumer report and it has come back verified. I do not believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX properly investigated this account because there are obvious inaccuracies. 

First off, the Account Number does not match. XXXX is reporting XXXX while XXXX and Transunion are reporting XXXX. If this has come from the same furnisher there is no way the Account Number can be different. 

The date of the last activity does not match- XXXX is reporting the date of the last activity as XXXX while Transunion is reporting XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX is reporting XX/XX/XXXX. Having the wrong date of the last activity makes this account inaccurate because it does not clearly tell you when the account is supposed to fall off. 

The date of the last payment does not match- XXXX is reporting the date of the last payment as XX/XX/XXXX while XXXX and TransUnion are reporting XX/XX/XXXX. If this isnt reported correctly, then, this means the date of the first delinquency is wrong as well as manipulating the statute of limitations. 

XXXX is reporting a monthly Payment on a charge-off account- It is to my knowledge that a charge-off account is an account that has already been closed by the original creditor so how is it that a closed account can have a monthly payment? This is misleading as it looks like I made payment arrangements with the creditor which is not the case. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has violated 15 usc 1681s-2b of the fair credit reporting act. Since they have verified this account as accurate and there are obvious inaccuracies they failed the 5 duties of a furnisher when receiving a dispute which are all violations from each credit reporting agency they are reporting too XXXX XXXX XXXX has also Violated Cal. Civ. Code 1785.25. They are knowingly furnishing inaccurate information which is a {$5000.00} violation per credit reporting agency they are reporting to. 

I also sent them a letter exercising Cal. Civ Code 1785.30 where they are required to correct any inaccurate information from my consumer reports and they have failed to acknowledge my request.

Sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

Complaint:
I purchased a year subscription for software, I located a better software and so I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and canceled my subscription. I was told that they only provide refunds within 30 days of purchase, for example, had I been paying monthly and I canceled, I wouldn't be paid for the following month, but since I purchased a yearly subscription and 30 days have passed, I am not entitled to a refund. I was told I have {$970.00} in credit with the company if I should decide to ever come back. 

I decided to dispute the charge with Navy Federal Credit Union, when I put in the dispute by phone on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told by the gentlemen who recorded my dispute, that I would receive a provisional credit within 10 days. I called back on the 9th day to confirm the provisional credit, and the young lady I spoke to put me on hold came back to the phone and assured me that my provisional credit would be on my account by XX/XX/XXXX. I checked my account on XX/XX/XXXX, and the credit was not on my account. I called Navy Federal and was told this transaction did not fall under regulation e, that I would not be getting credit, and that this dispute would take 120 days. I am not sure if the transaction falls under regulation e or not, but from what I read it appears it do, can you please assist me with this matter?

Please provide me with written confirmation of your investigation 's outcome and actions taken to remove the fraudulent items from my credit report within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Additionally, I request a free copy of my credit report with the removed fraudulent items once the investigation is completed.

Complaint:
I have been trying to apply for a home loan so that I may purchase a home but when the loan officer tried pulling up my credit scores, Equifax had nothing to report. The loan officer said I may have a freeze in my account so I called to unfreeze it. I called several times and they claim they are unable to pull up my file and that I would have to send in documents to prove I am the rightful owner. I have sent those documents four times already and they are still unable to fix my account, they actually claim to have never received them.
