Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Complaint:
The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved. In XXXX XXXX terms and conditions they agreed not to share my personal nonpublic financial information with non affiliates. XXXX, XXXX and Transunion is not an affiliate of XXXX XXXX nor a " bureau '' as they have stated. The only true credit bureau is the CFPB and they DO NOT furnish consumer reports. In reference to the XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX. I wrote XXXX XXXX a letter informing them of their inaccurate reporting of an account on my consumer reports. XXXX XXXX is in violation of multiple laws set forth by Congress. 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, charge off status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( XXXX XXXX ) making the report. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681 s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that A person ( XXXX XXXX ) shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer ( XXXX ) to any consumer reporting agency such as XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. The IRS Clearly defines a charge off/Canceled debt as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes reporting of this account inaccurate! By Definition, the IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. I never received a 1099-C from XXXX XXXX for the cancelled debt of { {$3400.00} } in order to file as ordinary income. Where is my 1099-C XXXX XXXX is clearly writing off debt with the IRS without sending out 1099-C as required by the IRS for debts greater than { {$600.00} }. This is unsatisfactory! XXXX XXXX has been HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE that they are furnishing incorrect inaccurate information, and as such I shall also point out their responsibility pursuant 15 U.S. Code section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) ( ii ) : ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION 1 ) PROHIBITION ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate.
