Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OR
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, I purchased merchandise at a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Oregon. At checkout, I was solicited by the cashier to apply for a XXXX XXXX XXXX Mastercard and if approved, would receive a discount on my purchase. She repeatedly, at least 3-4 times assured me that this was not going to result in a credit inquiry, and was simply a " soft pull '' with no credit bureau reporting. I told her this was critical as I was about to refinance my home and did not want to negatively impact my FICO score. She said she was 100 % certain that no credit reporting would be done. With that I agreed. The following day, I received notification from Transunion, XXXX and XXXX that XXXX XXXX had pulled my report and my FICO has dropped 100 points as a result. Incensed, I contacted XXXX XXXX to report what had occurred, immediately cancelled the account, and demanded that they contact the 3 bureaus to rescind the inquiry. They agreed to do so but said it would take weeks for the agencies to reverse the inquiry. I followed up 3 more times in the next few says and agents I spoke to reaffirmed that this had been done. I also contacted the agencies and sent letters confirming my discussions with XXXX. Additionally, I contacted the Manager of the XXXX XXXX and he apologized, acknowledging that the lady misinformed me and he would take proper action. He even reversed the charge and sent a small gift card to evidence his apology. I just received letters from XXXX and Transunion this week informing me that the inquiry is valid and will stand, contrary to what was mentioned during my multiple phone conversations with both. Meanwhile, with a lower FICO score, i am unable to complete my refinance, as the higher rate will raise my monthly payment on a 30 year mortgage by {$200.00} a month. Would greatly appreciate your help and support to mandate the lender to remove this inquiry.

Complaint:
Sent a Debt Validation to this company once I realized they are listed on my credit reports XXXX XXXX, 2017. The collection agency failed to validate debt. They " did not validate the debt in the required time frame, only after was incomplete proof provided in the form of a final bill. A bill statement does not obligate me to pay. In the US law encyclopedia, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Sections 90-93 ; it says that one can not subrogate onto a contract that they were not originally on, did not have any interest to protect, and then claim successor in rights and interests. Thus, when an original credit sells the debt, they give up their rights to collect on the debt, BUT they do not give those same rights to the collection agency. The collection agency can not act as a substitute for the original creditor.

Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
I had opened a CFPB case XXXX with information. Bank of America closed that even after i provided valid data. I opened XXXX which was closed by CFPB. I am opening a new case and attaching the data. I have already shared the password with Bank of America. When I tried to check for any discrepancies in the Bank of America credit card account. The actual balance as per XXXX XXXX statement is XXXX but I notice an extra amount of {$1.00} when I calculate difference between all purchases and all payments. I am attaching the spread sheet that explains the discrepancy. On Tuesday, XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX PST, XXXX XXXX XXXX wrote : Respected Officials, After i replied, there was a XXXX cent deposit into my account today morning. I need proper data about where this interest is coming from and without that i request Bank of America from avoiding resolution to the cases. When a deposit is made, there must be a reference to dispute it is related to. If there is market manipulation in XXXX or USA or any other country that had insiders information about this, it must be investigated. I have an FTC case open XXXX. If Bank of America says that they provided a temporary credit for a dispute, until the dispute is resolved, then why should they charge interest on the expense being disputed. If they indeed received an interest from the merchant then the interest must goto Bank of America. That is the reason i opened the cases and issued refunds. If they claim to provide temporary resolution and gave me the amount disputed then they must not charge an interest on that. To make me sift through their bank statements and file a CFPB case takes time. But closing a case opened saying that they are unable to open a file i sent is not correct. Especially, without officially communicating it to the person opened the case.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, two months ago, I sent a letter to Equifax and XXXX XXXX XXXX, asking for validation and verification of a debt that was reported on my Equifax credit report. Equifax has been very good, for the most part, at investigating my fraudulent accounts, and in fact, they have removed around 8-10 negative credit items leaving me with three remaining. One of these is from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( also sometimes called XXXX XXXX XXXX ). In all this time, I have yet to receive any information at all about this debt from the Creditor, and yet, despite my disputing this item and giving reasons why on every credit report I have ever received from Equifax, the item remains on my account. In addition, I find it curious that with only three negative items on my report, my credit score is still in the " Poor '' range. This month, I was forced to sign up for an independent 3-bureau monthly credit reporting service and learned the truth ; that this XXXX/XXXX account has been reported as a charge-off 46 times!!!! As far as I know, you can only charge off an account once! I am infuriated and plan to also file a complaint with the FTC as well as sue Equifax in federal court. No wonder why my score is so low!

Complaint:
I have tried numerous times to explain to your agency that SPS Portfolio XXXX is discriminating against me and tying up my clear deed and title to my property. Now Im explaining to you that SPS Portfolio XXXX is using my title and deed to my property to charge me after my insurance company has paid off my mortgage. My house completely burned on XX/XX/2022, my homeowners insurance company paid off my mortgage and I am still fighting this SPS Portfolio to get the clear title and deed to my property so that I can get my house cleaned up, hauled off and rebuild. I have XXXX XXXX and I have had to cut my medical treatments back to keep my paid off mortgage out of foreclosure. This company has been a problem and my homeowners insurance company told me that they would back me 100 % in lawsuits against this company. Im highly upset that this company is allowed to do this and its tying up my necessary health treatments and my finances dealing with my completely paid off mortgage. My insurance adjuster told the people at the company that she had recorded every conversation she had with them and that my insurance company was going to support me in filing lawsuits against the company. I have enough to handle and need someone to help me. My insurance company doesnt trust this company and has them continuously lying over and over again. Now I have enough to deal with and these people are are making it worse
