Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I requested Transunion remove a freeze on my report. The company would not allow me to speak to a representative Stateside in the United States although I requested this several times. I was informed that I was permanently blocked from online services due to being a victim of identity theft prior. This further victimizes me by not allowing me ease of access to services that every other subscriber is. Due to their refusal to allow access to my report I was unfairly denied for a service. The company continuously proceeded to ask me questions that were supposed to be related to myself and my credit file that had absolutely no relation to me. I called repeatedly on several occasions and tried to explain but could never speak to a competent XXXX in order to look into this further and offer a resolution. I am also attaching a copy of the demand letter I mailed to Transunion.

As of XX/XX/2016 a student loan was opened on my account which states I owe XXXX which says it owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. In pursuant of a fair judgement regarding state statues the company and or credit bureaus are illegally posting accounts past Marylands statue of limitations. They are posting fake payments I never made and they have nothing with my signature bearing as evidence of any scheduled payments. For years this has left me in a position that hindered me from using my credit and seeking better financial opportunities. I deserve a fair chance to resume being in good standing with economic endeavors of credit in mind. Ive reached out to the creditors and the bureau agencies themselves. When confronted they stated it would be removed as per statue of limitation. When this was stated it would disappear and they would repost several months later

RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) The Banking System is dependent upon my consumer report being FAIR and ACCURATE. After reviewing my Consumer Report I realized there was INACCURATE INFORMATION being reported on this account which in turn means this particular report is unfair to me. I was never notified when this INACCURATE information was FURNISHED nor was I notified during your companies initial investigation that you were going to report this information.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) This GRAVE error has undermined my confidence in your companys procedures and as a result of this I will no longer be extending credit. IF THIS INFORMATION IS NOT REMOVED I no longer want my information reported in your companys database system.

I have asked for PROOF of " validation of a XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy I keep being told that it has been verified, yet I have failed to receive any PROOF. My rights are being violated per 15 UCS 1681b -Permissible purpose of consumer reports it states " in accordance with thw written instruction of the consumer to whom it relates ''. I have never provided any type of written instructions with my WET signature for this to report. You are furnishing a consumer report without the consumers consent. You all are disclosing PRIVATE information such as name address, social security number, etc. This is violation of 42 USC Sec. 408 The ONLY " Bureau '' is the CFPB per 15USC 1602 Per law you " XXXX and XXXX and any other third party reporting agency '' is considered an AGENCY I have not given you permission to furnish nor report a bankruptcy violating my privacy. Per FCRA I have the right to have inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information deleted by a CRA. You all are putting me at risk for identity theft by displaying my PERSONAL info that I did NOT authorize with my WET signature. Again NO COURT in AMERICA reports this info to you. You STOLE it from a database that I didn't authorize you to report on my behalf, putting me at risk. These are only a few laws that have been violated. I will also be reporting this to the Attorney General, FTC, and the FCRA. I also have my evidence that I have tried on multiple occasions to rectify this problem with you. With them I will be stating EACH law that has been violated and seeking damages per each violation.

The debt collection is named XXXX XXXX from XXXX. They have called me repeatedly asking for me to pay a debt collection of around {$2100.00} for an apartment lease in XXXX XXXX. They event sent me an " application '' of the apartment lease with information filled. 

These XXXX  can't realize that the name DOES NOT MATCH MY NAME. The person submitted a SS of XXXX. They listed their mother as XXXX XXXX. 

I have a real SS and my mother IS NOT XXXX XXXX. I HAVE ALSO NEVER EVER LIVED IN XXXX XXXX AT ANY POINT IN MY LIFE. I have always lived in XXXX  and I have submitted proof of residency. I have told these XXXX  that my name is NOT the name listed on the application. My debt collection inquiry was eventually removed, but now it is BACK. This is incredibly frustrating, and continues to erode my credit score. Again, this IS NOT ME.

I filed for XXXX XXXX bankruptcy in XXXX of XXXX. My mortgage is set up on direct payment and is NOT paid through bankruptcy. I subsequently lost access to my online account through the mortgage company because I filed bankruptcy in order for them to comply with the Automatic Stay. I am required to either call the bankruptcy department to make my payments or mail them a check or bill pay payment. There have been multiple where I have tried to call and make my payment but they were closed. They will not let me make my payment through any other servicing option since I am under bankruptcy. My boyfriend is also on the mortgage and he is not tied to my bankruptcy at all but still can not have access to the account because of their " company policy ''. I spoke with two different people today XX/XX/XXXX and they informed me that their " company policy '' is that my account will be blocked until they receive a discharge letter from the bankruptcy courts and there is nothing else they can do about it.

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 3-4 months.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

On XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022 I alerted Equifax to incorrect information being published to my credit report regarding 3 accounts appearing with a balance when the balance should be XXXX. I asked for the information to be properly validated, pursuant to the XXXX, and that the information be correctly updated. Equifax has failed to validate the information it has published to my report, they have not sent me any information regarding their method of validation, and the incorrect information is still appearing on my report. It is having an adverse effect on my life, my credit, and my ability to meet my basic needs. 

On XX/XX/2022, Equifax gave a very general, non-specific, non-response to my complaint. I have provided specifics to Equifax on several occasions - there is no reason why my claims could not have been investigated and handled pursuant to my original CFPB complaint regarding this issue ( XXXX ). 

I am creating this second complaint and including more details here for the convenience of Equifax. All details regarding the incorrect accounts in need of correction, fraud affidavit, and other identifying information are included with the attachment.
