Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

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 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 3-4 months.

I am submitting this CFPB Complaint in response to the current evaluation presented by the Credit Rerporting Agencies. I have to pursue my efforts to resolve these matters which require intentness to my personal credit report. I am frustrated and feel there are errors that are still reported on my personal credit report which are not clearly stated as to the accuracy and completeness of the information. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. The following accounts need to investigate and correct from erroneous reporting in my file are listed on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Balance Owed : {$12000.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} DPT EDXXXX XXXX Balance XXXX : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} DPT EDXXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} DPT EDXXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} DPT EDXXXX XXXX Balance Owed XXXX {$0.00XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00}

I have contacted all 3 bureaus to fix the issue. It had been fixed when I called but afterwards the information was put back on my reports. They are also reporting inaccurate information pertaining to my accounts across all 3 bureaus. The reporting information is inconsistent and it violates my rights under the FCRA.

On or around XX/XX/XXXX I received a XXXX envelope delivered to my home, enclosed was a debt collection letter from Midland Credit Management for 2 separate accounts. I had no idea these debts even existed, so I sent them a debt validation letter. The debt validation letter was sent back to Midland Credit Management by XXXX XXXX, Tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. This was well within the 30 days of being initially notified about the debt. 

Midland Credit Management NEVER responded to my debt validation letter as required by Fair Debt Collections Act, yet they have continued to negatively report to all 3 credit bureaus against the law. 

I called them multiple times and was told no one could discuss the debt with me because I was represented by an attorney? I sent the dispute letter by myself, I was NOT represented by legal counsel. I called a dozen times over the course of XXXX months. 

I received another letter in XXXX from Midland Credit Management and again responded within the allowed 30 days with another debt validation letter that went unanswered by Midland Credit Management. This letter also sent via XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX.

On XX/XX/2021 I had a balance of roughly {$900.00} in my Albert bank account. I had made a purchase for a rental car through the mobile app XXXX in the amount of {$440.00}. There was an error on the merchants end and I was immediately refunded the entire amount. I then checked my account and seen that there was a positive balance of {$440.00} pending to be re-deposited into my account. I then contacted Albert customer service asking when I could expect it to be available in my account. I was informed they could see it was pending. I continued to contact them. And within days I realized they had removed the transaction from my account completely. ( Later even realizing it was removed from my statements also ) but thankfully I took screenshots of my receipt, my transaction history, the pending positive balance, and our conversations where the representative agreed that what I was correct, that the purchase was made and they could see the balance pending to be re-deposited. But months later Im still battling with this horrible bank Albert to get my money back. Ive been ignored and given the run around numerous times. Ive been told so many different things as to why I dont have my money. Ex. That I never made that purchase, that I never had enough in my account to make that purchase, or being told that the transaction never went though. But Ive followed up with asking well if the transaction was never made, where is my {$440.00}? But Ive gotten no clear answer. Ive went through my statements numerous times. Ive calculated everything and it shows everything Im saying to be correct and Ive told them this many times and they just refuse to take any accountability for their actions. All I want is my hard earned money. Its not okay to be shamed by my own bank and I will NOT stop fighting until I get whats mine.

The IRS Clearly defined a charge off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT! 
BY Definition The IRS Clearly says a Canceled or Charge Off is Income. The reporting of this account as debt is inaccurate. 
After reviewing my credit reports I noticed that you are alleging that the following accounts are negative without furnishing any proof of verification of this debt or that you followed all laws and regulations to report therefore you must remove all negative and adverse remarks. 
XXXX  XXXX XXXX + XXXX As you know it is against the law to report any information not proven accurate. 
I demand that you provide me with concrete evidence of my obligation to said accounts. 
Please be aware that all negative remarks found on my credit report is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA when you can not furnish the validity of the remark. 
I am not in dispute of the ownership of the account but if you are unable to provide the full reports of how you validated, verified, and how you are in compliance then you must remove the account from my credit report.

Request for Closure of Child Support Case and Removal from Credit Report Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in XXXX, TX for serious violations of my consumer privacy protection rights. Specifically, they have added a child support case to my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or permission. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1682e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), it is evident that the reporting of this account is in violation, as it inaccurately lists the XXXX XXXX court as the furnisher. This misleading information is a form of forgery and is detrimental to my creditworthiness. Moreover, it is a clear violation of permissible purposes as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681b. Without my direct written consent, reporting such information is against the law.

The child support case in question was created by the custodial parent, also without my consent, permission, or knowledge. This further compounds the infringement on my rights.

In accordance with the 2007 Miller v. Trans Union, LLC ruling, child support cases are not meant to be reported on credit reports. This is a matter of public record and should not be included in my credit history. It is essential to note that this information has not been derived from a credit transaction, and its presence on my credit report is both unwarranted and detrimental. 

I kindly request the immediate closure of this child support case and the subsequent removal of any associated information from all three credit bureaus. I trust that this matter will be resolved expeditiously, and I request written confirmation once the necessary corrections have been made. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX
