Consumer complaint received 2023-07-20
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, Credit Karma sent an email with the following message " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX could help you find a new card with fresh rewards like sign-up bonuses, cash back on everyday purchases, travel miles and buckets more. Plus, adding a new credit card to your mix and using it responsibly could help improve your credit scores over time. 

Pop over to Credit Karma for a preview of cards we've picked out just for you. 

Members with scores like yours increase their credit limit by an average of {$90000.00} when they open a new credit card. If you keep spending low, increasing your overall credit limit can help you lower your XXXX and improve your scores. 

Compare cards 1 Based on your XXXX credit report as reported on XXXX '' When I clicked on compare card, it shows several credit card offers. When I clicked the top most one from XXXX XXXX and filled out the application, I was sent a decline letter with reason saying " Based on your credit report from one or more of the agencies on the back of this letter, number of bank cards tradelines opened in the last 24 months ''. All the three bureaus information was used. 

This is insane. Credit Karma partnered with XXXX XXXX to market a credit card offer using my XXXX credit report as of XX/XX/. Both Credit Karma and XXXX XXXX had access to such an information but they went ahead marketing me a bogus card for which I would never have been approved. This is false marketing and attempt to just make my credit bad. 

Second problem with this is during the application stage, none of the XXXX XXXX material mentioned that there would be a hard inquiry posted for this application. Credit Karma also offers personal loans where the lenders such as XXXX would only do a soft pull and not a hard pull. But in this application, Neither Credit Karma nor the XXXX XXXX did not specify that a hard inquiry would be placed. 

Both these companies should be shut down for falsely marketing credit cards.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
ELITE Collection Services has been reporting negative information to my XXXX and XXXX credit reports for over 5 years. I have disputed this agency multiple times over the past few years. They allege that I owe a company by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX money from a rental, when that is not true. 

Elite Collection Services continues to fabricate falsified documents claiming they are mine, when they aren't. I have never done business with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor have I ever heard of them. 

XXXX and XXXX continue to report this falsified information despite sending multiple letters to both credit bureaus disputing the debt. XXXX removed the false negative reporting, but the other bureaus have yet to do so.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as aid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand the pese negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: Source Receivables Management LLC
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make these unfair practices. The balance on my credit report is not the same balance I have with the original creditor. There are also inconsistencies in the data being furnished. How can the date last active be different than what another bureau is reporting if all information should be complete and accurate? Furthermore, I was never sent correspondence notifying me that this account was sold to SOURCE RECEIVABLES MNG which is another violation. I received nothing in the mail leading up to this collection being reported. This account was added in XX/XX/2023. I am requesting a copy of the correspondence mailed to me during that time informing me that I had a debt with your company. If you can not provide this, then this is another violation. According to the FDCPA Im entitled to XXXX dollars per violation. If this account is not removed and payment within 15 days, I will forward this information to my legal attorney so that this can be handled in small claims court.
