Transunion ( Deceptive Business Practice ). 
This credit reporting agency changes my credit score ( usually lowering it ) whenever it suits them, and without ever providing to me any type explanation or reason for doing so. The most recent time was today, XXXX XXXX, 2016. While nothing changed in my financial circumstances since this agency 's last report of my credit score six ( 6 ) days ago, this agency lowered my score again, and I have absolutely no reason why it was lowered. Transunion 's website is secretive, in that it provides no rational manner in which to contact and dispute the altering of my credit score. I have complained to the XXXX and Office of the Attorney General of Pennsylvania but with little or no results. I am requesting that your agency intercede in this matter in an effort to have Transunion provide to me an exact reason or reasons whenever my credit score is lowered or increased or altered in any manner. Every time I check my credit score with this agency, I get ready for a surprise, and I do not like surprises. Please contact me if perhaps you should require any additional information regarding this matter. Respectfully yours, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX.

Equifax is reporting negative information on my credit report.

I 've sent a letter to Equifax on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I 've also sent letters to the data furnishers on XXXX XXXX, 2016, and again on XXXX XXXX, 2016. To date, they have n't provided me the requested signed contract, actual documentation or verification that this account does in fact belong to me. I 've researched the FDCPA & FCRA and found out that it is the responsibility of the data furnisher to provide the consumer with all the proper documentation when requested. They are violating the FDCPA/FCRA! I 'm hoping you can help me as my next step and only other option will be to solve this through legal channels.

I received an email message late last night alerting me that my new credit card was being sent. I called XXXX for another reason ( to confirm that a call from them was legit ) and they advised me of the new credit car being sent - and the initial reason provided by a customer service person was that the benefits had changed. When I pressed the issue and asked for a supervisor ( XXXX, extension XXXX ) I was advised that the new card is a switch from an AMEX card to a XXXX card because they have switched programs. They said they sent me a communication on XX/XX/XXXX ( which I never received ) and when I asked for a copy of it they said they were unable to send it to me. I pressed the issue and they just said they were unable to send it to me. It seems that if they are claiming they sent something they should be able to provide me a copy. I checked their online messages ( which I rarely check, so could not have deleted ) and find there is only the message I received last night. I understand them changing programs, but what I do n't understand is not giving consumers adequate notice so other arrangements could be made if it is not what I wanted.
