Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
There is an account on my transunion report that does not belong to me. I have tried to contact the collection agency XXXX whom is reporting this account and the phone numbers are disconnected and the fax numbers are no longer in service. I disputed this account with transunion and the response I got was this account was 'VERIFIED '. XXXX did not verify this account because this company is no longer in business. I asked for the METHOD OF VERIFICATION that transunion used and got no response other than XXXX. There is no way that this account was verified if it is gone out of business. This collection account has ruined my credit score tremendously and I am using CFPB as the last resort before pursuing legal action. XXXX all accounts that do not belong to me. I have disputed these accounts numerous times with transunion as well as the collection agencies for VALIDATION and have not gotten a response in 30 days from the collection agency so I am certain that these XXXX accounts have not been properly verified through transunion. I requested signed paperwork with my signature on it for validation that this account belongs to me and transunion nor the collection agencies verified not validated this fraudulent information. This is my last attempt for this fraudulent accounts to be removed immediately since they have not been validated.

State: VA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting report or credit score

Complaint:
Despite YEARS of stellar credit reports and scores, at or about 800 for each reporting agency, I was a couple of weeks late paying XXXX credit card bill and my score dropped over XXXX points! Really, over XXXX points by each agency. This is unbelievable. I have not been late paying any bill in many many years. I was in fact in the hospital undergoing XXXX at the time this bill was due. I do not dispute that payment was late but after my very long history of cultivating exceptional credit status this XXXX point drop must be seen as excessive. In addition, I am in the middle of refinancing our house and this credit report, as it stands now, is costing me money. Please help.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have tried several times to contact Springleaf Financial/OneMain Financial to correct the unpaid status on my credit reports. In both cases the accounts were sold. Springleaf to XXXX XXXX and OneMain to XXXX XXXX Both loans were settled with the debt purchasing companies. Copies of the paid information was sent to all three credit reporting agencies, as well as, the debt sellers. Both debt buyers have confirmed payment and claim to have notified the debt sellers of the paid status. XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX and was told the account is paid/settled and that I should dispute the account with Springleaf to have the status updated as Paid/Settled to all credit reporting agencies. XX/XX/XXXX I called Springleaf and was told the account was a charge off when sold and even though now that it was paid to the debt buyer, they will not update the credit bureaus as paid/settled. XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX and was told they report to OneMain all payments once a month on the XXXX. My account should be updated on all credit bureaus as Paid/Settled upon the next reporting cycle. XX/XX/XXXX I called OneMain and was told when XXXX XXXX reports the payment, the credit bureau will be updated as paid/settled. XX/XX/XXXX I mailed all proof of payment and a dispute letter-request to updated paid status to all credit bureaus to both OneMain and Springleaf Financial. XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Springfleaf/OneMain claiming the information reported is correct? They are still reporting the accounts as " Charged Off '' delinquent and unpaid. XX/XX/XXXX I submit the complaint to the CFPB in hopes to obtain a correct paid status on the Springleaf and OneMain trade lines. I do n't understand why even after a debt is sold and paid to the debt buyer, why the debt seller will not update the paid status. That would be the correct status, would n't it?

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
On the night of XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX I received several missed calls from a number tagged " Wells Fargo XXXX '' The number was the same service number as on the back of my bank card. Earlier in the week ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I was informed that my account information may have been compromised and I was being sent a new card ( see attached picture ). The information about the new card/account information being compromised was legitimately from Wells Fargo . When I finally picked up the call on the night of the XXXX, I was told that there were fraudulent charges pending on my account due to my account being compromised and that I would need to use my XXXX account to transfer the money back into my account. The amount was for {$1000.00}. The person on the other end seemed to know how much money was in my account, that I was with Wells Fargo and that my account had been compromised. I dont know how this person could have access to that information unless they are affiliated with Wells Fargo .

In order to transfer the money back into my account I only had to read a code from my text message to authorize money being sent back to myself/stop the pending fraud charges. 
I realized very quickly that the money had been taken from my account only with the code I read aloud. The money was transferred to someone from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXas shown in my text messages after the money was taken from my account. 

I contacted Wells Fargo immediately ( within 1 minute after I hung up ) to see what could be done. They immediately recognized the scam/fraud and said that it had happened a lot that night. They called it a fraud, but later denied my claim and denied that it was a fraud, saying I authorized the transaction. I was coerced into giving information ( code from my phone ) which I was falsely led to believe was stopping a pending fraud charge. 
Wells Fargo made a report, but have not returned my money that I lost -- {$1000.00}. They have opened and closed the claim multiple times, but I have not given me my money back. It is closed now. I believe I am covered under regulation E and I am asking for help getting my money back. Thank you for your help in this stressful time.
