State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I sent TRANSUNION an Affidavit of Truth, Cease & Desist, exhibits with circled violations that explains what law ( s ) they are violating, and an invoice asking for remedy. My first complaint was pretty much dismissed and I am still not being treated with respect. TRANSUNION is still illegally reporting on my report and that is messing with my mental help and credit score. I am not able to apply for credit cards because my score is so low.15 USC 1681b-Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) In General subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I NEVER gave TRANSUNION any written consent to report anything on my consumer report. No consent is identity theft.

XXXX XXXX sent an email stating that my " TransUnion credit score went down. '' See attached. I logged in to my XXXX XXXX account and noted that my score had dropped approx XXXX points and XXXX XXXX wanted me to " make a payment before XX/XX/XXXX. '' See attached. I immediately contacted the retailer from which I made an online purchase on XX/XX/XXXX. The retailer, XXXX, authorized the purchase on my XXXX account that date. The retailer notified me the items were available for pickup at the local XXXX store in XXXX, Oregon, on XX/XX/XXXX. I picked up the purchase. The closing date of my XXXX account billing is the second day of the month. Previously had a XXXX balance. The current purchase of {$150.00} was billed this cycle. The payment IS NOT DUE UNTIL XX/XX/XXXX. That's right. XX/XX/XXXX. TODAY is only XX/XX/XXXX. That's right. XX/XX/XXXX. I pointed this out to the XXXX XXXX Department supervisor " XXXX '' ( ID XXXX.

XXXX agreed to contact TransUnion and XXXX and send me a letter confirming my credit is PERFECT and lowering my score ( from previous checking, it was lowered by approximately 40 points ) without any reason to do so.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: MONEYGRAM PAYMENT SYSTEMS WORLDWIDE INC
State: CA
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: International money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
I registered for an online account with MoneyGram in 2019. I tried to send a single transaction and immediately received a response that stated, " After careful review, your profile is closed and transaction declined. '' At the time it was a minor inconvenience and I sent money via another method. Now, another need to send money has arisen. I tried to create a new MoneyGram account and I was unable to. I spoke with multiple customer service agents online and on the phone, and I was told that 1 ) their " automated system '' decided to cancel my account, 2 ) they can not give me any more information, 3 ) the decision is final, 4 ) I can NEVER create an online account again, for the rest of my life, and 5 ) there is not a single person at MoneyGram who has any responsibility over this " automated system '' that could, or is willing to, give me further information, or appeal or reverse the decision.

I have been denied the use of MoneyGram 's online service via no fault of my own, with no option to appeal. I have been unjustly discriminated against, as no valid reason to deny me service has been supplied.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am hereby requesting that you confirm the fact that I owe this debt as required by any applicable state and federal laws. Please contact the creditor to obtain verification. 
In addition, under the provisions of state and federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and related consumer statutes, I am hereby instructing you to cease collection of the debt while efforts are made to obtain verification. Until you resolve this error with the creditor, you should neither contact me nor anyone else except the creditor about this collection. 
Furthermore, any reporting of this matter to credit reporting agencies is premature. Until you have investigated my dispute, you should not relay negative information to a credit reporting agency. If negative information has already been reported, you must notify the agency to remove said report until the investigative process is over so that my credit report remains accurate, or at the very least, my credit report should be updated to reflect my dispute. 
Your next contact with me should be to either notice that the creditor has failed to provide verification of the debt and that the matter has been closed or that you believe that this debt is valid and are providing proof of my responsibility. If the former, please confirm that I am not being held responsible for the debt in writing and also that if the account has already been noted on my credit report, that you will contact the bureau ( s ) in question to have the account removed. If the latter, I expect that you will provide me with an explanation as to why you have decided not to remove this account from collections and a copy of all documents relevant to the debt such as the application, bills, records of communications and payments, and any other data that indicates my responsibility. 
I am instructing you not to contact any third parties such as my employer, neighbors, friends or family members. In addition, you may not contact me by phone at work or at my home about this collection activity. All future correspondence should be sent to me in writing. 
Please acknowledge that you have received this notice within 10 days. 

Also want to see who the non complaint agency is XXXX continues to say that you have verified the debt as accurate which I know its completely out of line this is your last chance.
