I have contacted TransUnion Credit Bureau more than 20 times via phone and certified mail in regards to unauthorized inquiries listed on my credit report. I have explained that I did NOT authorize certain inquiries and my credit report was pulled WITHOUT my permission. Credit inquiries are not any different from any other information listed on a credit report in regards to accurate reporting.This information must be verified. I did not authorize these inquiries and TransUnion has no proof that I authorized the inquiries therefore the agency should not have those inquiries listed on my report. 

I have also asked TransUnion to complete an investigation in regards to these unauthorized inquiries to determine who authorized the inquiry. However, my request was not granted. I was told inquiries are factual and can not be removed. 

According to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, consumers have the right to dispute any inaccurate information on their credit report. I have tried to dispute these unauthorized inquiries to have them REMOVED from my credit file. However, TransUnion refuses to remove the inquiries without doing the proper investigation and verification which is a violation of my consumer rights. 

I have also contacted each business directly asking for the remove the unauthorized inquiries. However, my requests were ignored.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: COMMUNITY CHOICE FINANCIAL, INC. (TX)

I was charged over {$5000.00} which was fraudulent. The police were involved, a police report was made, and spoke to many different individuals about the case. It took over 3 months for the charges to be considered fraudulent. I continued to receive bills in the mail. Continued to receive phone calls about making payments to the credit card when it was indeed found fraudulent. It was extremely difficult to get a hold of someone who could help. This is continuing to go on and is not yet settled. It was a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. It has been a nightmare trying to figure everything out when this should have been taken care of when it occurred back in XXXX. I followed all of the correct steps of calling the police, cancelling the cards, and sending in numerous documents stating which charges were fraud. The individual that stole the card was even caught on camera at several locations using the card.

Company: I.C. System, Inc. (TN)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my credit on XXXX and realized there was a derogatory mark on there. It is from XXXX XXXX XXXX and the collections agency is IC System. There are two separate accounts that have been opened in my name that I have not opened. The first account was opened XX/XX/XXXX and the second account opened XX/XX/XXXX. I received a copy of the signed agreements and they are both signed in my name but it is not my signature. I have never owned cats or stepped foot into a XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have contacted both the collections agency and the pet hospital. The pet hospital told me to contact the credit bureau. Apparently from the explanation at the pet hospital, a wellness agreement was signed so that they could direct debit monthly from the persons bank account. Since the bank account information had to be obtained for the person to sign the agreement, it does not make sense how they could put it on my credit report when it is not from my bank account.

I was added as an authorized user on my wife 's XXXX XXXX credit card roughly four months ago, I noticed XX/XX/XXXXand XX/XX/XXXX updated my reports immediately to reflect the accurate information, by doing this my score and improved drastically. I have been waiting for Experian to update and when I noticed they have never updated this information I called them on XX/XX/XXXX to address this issue, I was told they could not add this account because it would negatively impact my credit file due to 2 late  payments in XXXX. My wife is unaware of any late payments and according to XXXX and XXXX payment history is great! I requested this account to be added and the representative stated they could not do it. This is causing about a 100 point difference in my scores everything else matches up except this.

I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX in the payment solution department about a collection letter I received in the mail XX/XX/XXXX. The date on the collection letter is dated XX/XX/XXXX stating that I owe XXXX is the balance due in full now this account was placed for collection to Vital recovery services. I told XXXX that I am only 30 days late and I 'm sent to a collection agency for the full balance. Wow I dispute that balance cause on the site it is XXXX. So the collection agency added extra money and still adding according to the letter it might be more depending on when it is paid. XXXX from the payment solution department told me that all I have to do is pay the past due of XXXX plus late fees that might not been added yet to bring my account current then call them and they will buy back the loan I was also told that I need to make that payment to Vital Recovery Services. This makes absolutely no sense. I was also told that the balance was incorrect it should be what I stated above the XXXX so not trusting there so call collection someone have there communication crossed. I believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX is trying to extort more money. At this point I 'm asking for verification of this collection that was placed by XXXX XXXX. This is totally misleading and deceitful.

Issue: Managing an account — Fee problem
Company: BB&T CORPORATION (GA)

I opened a checking and savings account with BB and T in XXXX, Georgia. 
The bank ordered me a debit card. I never received the debit card from them so I requested a new card be sent to me. They sent me the new card but the bank accidentally attached the debit card to my savings account instead of my checking account. I used my debit card as usual ( thinking it was attached to the checking account ) and on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was charged a XXXX time activity fee of XXXX for excessive withdrawals/used of my debit card. I called the bank on the XXXX and the customer service agent said he could refund me XXXX. That is not nearly enough. 

I visited the bank on XXXX XXXX XXXX. I went into the bank to speak with them XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX when I noticed the statement activity fee charge and the phone call only resulted in the XXXX credit. They immediately took that debit card saying it was a mistake, and they issued me a new debit card attached to the correct account. They said they would have to forward the issue to an upper level manager for approval to reimburse the funds. In the meantime, there had been an additional XXXX} in activity fees also added to my XXXX statement for the same problem. ( Charges prior to me visiting the bank to inform them ) Total activity fees that have been charged to me for excess use of my savings account was XXXX 

It has been XXXX weeks and I have not been reimbursed. I have called and emailed many times and no one is able to solve the problem as of yet. I did not know that the card was attached to the incorrect account, my phone app that the bank said to use showed both accounts as checking and the amount was not taken each time I went over rather it was charged as a XXXX time large fee at the end of the month so I would have had no idea there was a problem until I read my bank statement. 

This is an excessive amount of money that I would like to get back asap so I can pay my bills. Thank you so much.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: The J. G. Wentworth Company (CA)

XX/XX/XXXX applied for an online quote and lock in mortgage rate for an FHA 30 year fixed loan with J. G. Wentworth Home Lending, XXXX XXXX, FL with agent XXXX XXXX.. Agent said she needed an authorization to pull my credit to lock in a rate. On XX/XX/XXXX I gave authorization. Loan agent said she locked in 3.625 rate for an FHA loan for me on XX/XX/XXXX for a 60 day lock and said she would send me confirmation of the lock. She asked me to provide all my financial information on their site which I did. She asked me to send in all supporting financial documents which I did. I called numerous times without response asking for the lock in quote she promised. No positive response. I emailed her after about 20 days of not receiving it. No response. The following day I gave her an ultimatum to send the lock in quote she promised and that J.G.Wentworth advertises that you can get the same day, and if I did not receive it I would file complaints. No response the next day but the following day I received a rubber stamped introduction letter from her stating to fill out a computer based questionaire which obviously been tampered with. No matter what figures I submitted in the 6 question format, it stated I did not qualify unless iI had excellent credit and a whopping 70 % down payment. Only under these terms would she be able to get me 3.875 %. Its obvious this was a passive/aggressive way to attempt to humiliate me by fraudulently tampering with the system she submitted to me. These are foolish qualifications which indicate to me she did not lock in the 3.625 as promised. I had already been pre qualified by two other lenders and was seeking this company because they advertised lower rates. She wasted my time, and now that my escrow is getting ready to close, my new lender wants to charge me {$5000.00} in points to bring down the current rate of 3.875 % to 3.625 %. I am accusing J. G.Wentworth of 1. false advertising, 2. false promises, 3.misleading, 4. misrepresentation, 5. improper lending practices, 6. possible mortgage license violations, 7. fraud, 8. personal financial damage, 9. improper use of my personal financial information.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: McCarthy, Burgess & Wolff, Inc. (MD)

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in the mail from McCarthy, Burgess & Wolff ( MB & W ) stating that they are a debt collector attempting to collect a debt from XXXX. I immediately called them at XXXX and spoke to XXXX XXXX. I disputed the debt and asked for additional information. Between the dates of XX/XX/XXXX I repeatedly called MB & W at the same number requesting updates and continuing to dispute this charge. I also spoke with XXXX numerous times and was advised over the phone and in writing that I do not owe them any money. I provided all this information to MB & W verbally and via email. Repeated calls to MB & W resulted in the same answers where they confirmed that they had received my information and were waiting to hear back from XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter ( .pdf attached to an email ) from MB & W subject of a debt verification notice. I called and spoke with XXXX again and she transferred me to XXXX XXXX ( who I have spoke to before during this process ). XXXX identified himself as a supervisor. He acknowledged receipt of the information I provided from XXXX and stated that " for some reason that is not enough for them to close this debt. He further went on to state that people call all the time and say they are n't responsible for debt and until XXXX provided them further information this was going to sit in collection with MB & W ''. I believe that I have sufficiently proven that this is not my debt, therefore, I am opening this complaint against MB & W.
