Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OR)

Credit reporting agencies punish consumers both directly and indirectly by lowering credit scores which will potentially impact rates on credit line and and thus the interest and rates consumers end up paying for being fiscally responsible by doing things like, paying off credit cards regularly, not undertaking unnecessary loans, or having enough credit cards. This is an unfair practice which should not be allowed.

I have XXXX issues with Ally financial. First, I turned a a XXXX vehicle XX/XX/2015 and they finally sold the vehicle XX/XX/2015. They are now looking to me for a shortfall that they helped create by letting the car sit in their possession without any activity. I am told be several XXXX salesmen that the company makes a practice of this - letting cars sit, allowing for further depreciation and creating a larger shortfall than necessary - then they go after the lessees for the self-created shortfall. Additionally, Ally is calling my cellphone XXXX times a day without leaving a message. I think that is harassment.

Please see attached thank you letter I wrote to bill me later for finally correcting the numerous errors on my account and that I truly appreciated it. XXXX-XXXX % of every issue was corrected in my favor. Then I show them my statement just printed for XX/XX/XXXX. Once again they made another error. Circled on page XXXX of statement it says the {$190.00} charge in dispute I do not have to pay yet??? This was a XXXX ticket which delta finally processed a refund for {$190.00} after I called them. Pay Pal received the XXXX refund and notified Bill me later. Attached please find deltas emailed receipt showing this ticket as " XXXX '' status. Which means it was refunded. So why they have not updated this I have no idea. In addition I have been with Bill me later for years, always pay my bill 1 day after bill prints never paid interest, never late, XXXX % payment record. So I must say I received no communication at all except again on page XXXX of this statement in middle it says " Youre account is closed ''???? I have asked them why? No response. It appears even though all disputes were their error and found correctly in my favor they have retaliated for asking for your assistance by not telling me but closing my stellar account. Unbelieveable. What route do I need to take to get this account opened?

Company: PNC Bank N.A. (MD)

I opened a consumer account with PNC in XXXX of XXXX and was given a promotion that included reimbursement of all of non-PNC ATM fees " for life. '' The bank was offering that promotion because they did not have many branches in the DC area at that time. The offer seemed unusual to me, and as as a result I questioned the bank representative extensively about it. The PNC representative assured me that this could not change for the life of my account. PNC honored its contract from XXXX up until this past XXXX, when they changed its policy and started reimbursing only {$10.00} per month in ATM fees. I have spent a significant amount of time on the phone with PNC trying to get the bank to abide by its agreement but to no avail. I informed the representatives that if the bank refused to honor its contract I would file a complaint with the CFPB, but they refuse to take any action. Thus, this complaint. I do not want much - I just want PNC to live up to the offer the bank made to me in XXXX and that it honored for the 9 years that followed until XXXX.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

During late XXXX and early XXXX 2015, I initiated XXXX different new auto loans with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The reason for the XXXX different loans was because I had the dealer re-write the loans to take advantage of discounts being offered. The final loan and the only valid loan was for the amount of {$32000.00} and was the only loan that should have lingered as " open '' on my credit report. I have been making payments on this loan and the current balance is much less. 
Meanwhile, the XXXX of the XXXX loans in the amount of {$34.00} continues to linger on my credit report and is reflected as " open ''. This amount is added together with the XXXX loan, which is valid, and added to the total amount I owe at the beginning of my credit report. 
I have contacted XXXX XXXX several times about this. Each time I am informed to wait another month for the matter to be resolved. I first reported this problem in XXXX so I have now waited 3 months. 
This is not only incorrect, but I am hampered from obtaining additional credit, because my total of monthly payments on XXXX open auto loans exceeds my income to monthly payment ratio. Also, since this is reflected on all XXXX credit reports, it appears to be a problem with XXXX XXXX reporting to the credit bureaus..
