Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Received unsolicited financial product or insurance offers after opting out

Complaint:
A week ago, I applied for a mortgage pre-approval at XXXXXXXX XXXX  which ran credit check using all 3 credit reporting agencies- TransUnion, XXXX and XXXX. Since then I have been getting an unsolicited calls from mortgage providers. Today, I got a call from XXXX XXXX and I was directed to speak with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). When I asked how did he get my contact details, he said TransUnion shared my contact details stating I might be interested in getting a mortgage. 

I told XXXX that I was just testing waters and not really interested buying a home in the next 6 month due to uncertain environment ( high inflation, rising rates ) we are in. He then said he would call once every month. When I said I would call him instead if I want to get a mortgage, he said he would call once every two months. He doesn't understand that I don't want to be called again. 

I never opted-in for my personal data to be sold and TransUnion ( and anyone else ) who is selling personal details without end user consent is committing egregious outright theft and breach of trust. 

Please instruct credit reporting agencies, specifically TransUnion, to stop selling users information ( contact, financial and what products users might be interested in ) without consent with third parties.

Company: Home Loan Center, Inc.
State: SC
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Can't contact lender or servicer

Complaint:
Applied for a personal loan through lending tree, was contacted by a XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX @ XXXX, then onto a direct number @ XXXX out of Georgia on XX/XX/18. He stated I could set up a loan to pay off some hospital debt and clear up my credit, with a personal loan. I had to purchase insurance for it, by linking my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  purchases totaling {$800.00}. He says they mobile deposit through your bank account login with a check from XXXX, XXXX for the {$800.00} to make it credited that day. Then the routing number is set up for the loan/automatic payments, and you reset your login/password. The deposit becomes fraud, and is not accepted by the bank. He said they write reports to the FTC to report for credit scores, therefore trying to convince the consumer into a loan program for helping you. 
I also received a strange threatening voicemail from an unknown caller in a voice altered tone, the day after blocking both numbers. Just said ( my name ), your next. I was being bombarded with loan offers and still continue to get calls and emails, so Im not sure if this was related. After applying through lending tree, I felt preyed upon being a low income single parent

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the lawI am appalled by the ability of the Credit Reporting Agencies to keep ignoring a consumer 's request for the correction of the disputed account on my Credit Report. Under the FCRA section 609 and 611, the Credit Bureaus are required to verify the information and status of the account being reported on my Credit Report. But in my case, Transunion has kept reporting the disputed account claiming that the information they present is accurate, in which I greatly disagree. I am submitting this complaint to you today to request that Transunion provide me copies of documents bearing my signature to verify the status of the disputed account. If the Credit Bureaus failed to comply with the condition and continuer the reporting of the disputed account, please understand I will seek legal action. I need the account corrected as soon possible : XXXX XXXX XXXX

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

Complaint:
There seems to be previously blocked fraudulent accounts reinserted on my credit file Per the FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 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.

The block must be no later than 4 business days The information is fraudulent.

The block wasnt made in error and I never received goods or services. Its identity theft. Plain and simple. These was someone using my identity therefore its fraudulent and must be removed or the next step will be to sue the consumer reporting agency who is violation the FCRA. 

The other major consumer reporting agencies immediately removed and blocked the fraudulent accounts when proper documentation was received which is what equifax received. Maybe they arent familiar with 605 or dont care about it but they are violating it nonetheless
