Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus regarding the inaccurate reporting of my credit information. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve this matter, I have encountered significant challenges that remain unaddressed. 

Details of the Complaint : - Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Status : Reported as open ( should be reported as closed ) - Transfer Date : Sold back to Southeast Mortgage in 2023 - Nature of the Issue : XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report this account as open on my credit report, despite it being sold back. This misrepresentation is adversely affecting my credit score and financial standing.

Legal Basis : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under Section 609 of the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccurate information and request that the credit bureaus conduct a reasonable investigation. However, despite multiple disputes filed with the credit bureaus, my concerns have not been adequately addressed.

2. Accuracy Requirement : The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information they report. XXXX XXXX XXXX is also obligated under the FCRA to provide accurate information to the credit bureaus. Their failure to correct this erroneous reporting is a violation of the law. 

3. Failure to Investigate : In accordance with Section 611 of the FCRA, upon receiving a dispute, the credit bureaus are required to investigate the matter. My repeated attempts to have this issue investigated have been met with inadequate responses, and the incorrect information remains on my credit report. 

The negligence displayed by both XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus has caused me significant distress and has negatively impacted my creditworthiness. I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against both parties for their failure to comply with federal regulations regarding credit reporting. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

To whom it may concern, I am submitting a complaint against XXXX under 15 U.S.C. 1681i for failing to conduct a reasonable investigation of my dispute regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite my efforts to provide documentation supporting my claim, XXXX has not corrected the erroneous information, which has adversely affected my credit score and ability to secure credit. I request the CFPB 's assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring that my consumer rights are upheld. I contacted the company at the end of XXXX to notify them of a layoff that occurred at my employer ; therefore, I was laid off and called to exercise my credit protection plan that I paid into monthly. Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I called to ask why I am showing as delinquent and I was told that my account was closed in XXXX ; however, this information was never disclosed to me and my credit report is not showing closed, it is showing open/delinquent. I asked the account manager, XXXX to please reverse this delinquent as this should not be reflected and is an inaccuracy on my credit. She went back and forth with me in a very unpleasant, unprofessional manner. I am extremely dissatisfied with how my account was mismanaged, I paid for a service and did not receive it. I plan to seek litigation unless this item is completely deleted from my credit. I want a letter emailed to me within 3 business days : ( XXXX ) on company letterhead stating that this account is no longer in delinquency and the matter has been resolved. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue.

RE : Last 4 of SSN XXXX This letter is in reference to the account listed on my credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX under account # XXXX. This account is being illegally reported on my credit report. I formally disputed it directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX in regards to their illegal reporting, and have not received any satisfactory reply. 

Therefore, I am now formally disputing directly with you. Furthermore, if at any time during your investigation the above account is verified by XXXX XXXX XXXX I am requesting your method of verification pursuant to the FCRA, including the name of the person with whom you spoke, who has firsthand knowledge of the account in question. Because the automated response that is attached is unacceptable. 

I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Attorney Generals office, should you continue reporting this erroneous item.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MO)

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over XXXX months.
