Consumer complaint received 2020-06-16
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OH)

My complaint involves all of the credit reporting companies, as I know at this time. One of my credit card companies sent a letter stating my credit score had been dropped to XXXX based on reports from one or more of the credit reporting companies. I have tried to talk to someone with those firms in order to obtain information on which they furnished showing the basis of the score. The system they use for call in service does not allow one to speak with a person to either give or obtain information. The most important complaint I have is that credit reporting firms do not attempt to talk to consumers in order to get the other side of a dispute. They primarily use information furnished by creditors on disputes. I was never contacted by anyone asking for my side of any problem. This is totally unfair in a country where, if one is accused, the plaintiff must present proof of an accusation. Obviously, no attempt was made to develop the truth in at least this incident.

I recently received a copy of my consumer report after I submitted a dispute about it being inaccurate information being reported. I figured it was a mistake on your part however I did not see any changes in fact you stated that the account meets FCRA requirements. That is false these accounts can not meet FCRA requirements because they have not been verified nor have you fixed the inaccurate information on these accounts. I have included a screen shot of each item that I am referring to. I know the FCRA states that my consumer report should be furnished with accurate information otherwise the accounts in question that can not be verified must be removed. Take a look at how many errors you are reporting on my consumer report.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NV)

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.

I am writing this letter again to follow up with your company and let you know that your company is still violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and there is strict liability for data furnishers which means you will be held accountable whether intentional or not. I mentioned in the previous letter that the reporting for every consumer reporting agency is inaccurate. The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system and unfair credit reporting methods undermine public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system I do not have confidence in the banking system due to your company reporting inaccurate information. The inaccuracy of information reported on behalf of your company has a negative impact on my credit history. I need these inquiries removed from my credit report immediately because your company is ruining my life and ability to prosper. Your company should be held accountable for breaking statutory laws. I have a right to privacy under the FCRA, which makes me feel like I am being abused, and your company is ruining my reputation. You have thirty days to delete this inaccurate information from my credit report or else I will seek litigation and monetary relief for being non-compliant and violating my consumer rights.

Over four months ago, I contacted US Bank regarding three credit card accounts that belonged to my deceased brother, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SS # XXXX, who passed away back in XXXX. Since I am the executor of his estate, the purpose of my follow up with them was to obtain 1099Cs for discharged of his alleged debts so that I could file his final tax returns for XXXX. US Bank was kind enough to do this and they forwarded three 1099Cs which I used to file my brothers taxes. ( copy attached ) Unfortunately US Bank continues to report on my brothers credit reports that he still owes them on these three accounts even though they clearly have discharged them. My accountants and consumer protect attorneys have advised me that regardless of the issuance of 1099Cs, US Bank is still in the position to either attempt to collect or sell off these debts to a third party as long as they are reporting these accounts to the credit agencies and while these accounts appears on his credit reports. While I do not think that this is a malicious act by US Bank nor their intention, I am nevertheless concerned about dealing with this subject in the future as my brothers estate is empty of any money and closed. I mailed and also faxed a letter to US Bank on this matter on XX/XX/XXXX ( copy attached ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I followed up with US Bank and after an hour of being transferred to half a dozen departments and twice that number of confused representatives, I talked to XXXX, a supervisor in the Escalation and Collection Department, who told be that to her knowledge the debts were discharged and should not be reporting to the credit reporting agencies. Nevertheless as of today these account are still being reported to the credit reporting agencies despite what US Bank is saying. Their inability to correct this problem is disconcerting to me and so I am turning to the FCRA to assist in getting them to put an end to this matter by ceasing to report these closed and discharged debts.

Re : Cease and Desist Letter Pursuant to 15 USC Dear XXXX XXXX I am writing this letter to formally demand that you cease and desist from any further activities or actions that involve my name, signature, or personal information in connection with any contracts or agreements, in accordance with 15 USC, Title 15, Chapter 41, Subchapter I - Consumer Credit Protection. I am exercising my rights under 15 USC 1602, which defines my Social Security Number as the source of credit used in transactions, thereby making it the basis for any financial agreements entered into. 

It has come to my attention that my signature has been utilized without my knowledge or consent in various contracts and agreements. Furthermore, I have reason to believe that these actions are related to unauthorized use of a credit card, which is prohibited by 15 USC. This serves as formal notice that I am rescinding my signature from all contracts associated with these fraudulent activities.

I would like to emphasize that under 15 USC, the credit card referenced is intended for personal use and is not associated with any credit lending or loaning activities. Any representations made to the contrary are inaccurate and, as such, violate my rights and protections under federal law.

I hereby request that you : 1. Cease any further use of my signature, personal information, or Social Security Number in any contracts, agreements, or transactions.

2. Immediately provide me with any and all documentation, records, or evidence related to the contracts or agreements in question.

3. Confirm in writing, within 10 days of receiving this letter, that you have ceased the unauthorized use of my personal information and have taken appropriate steps to remedy this situation.

4. Return to me all monies paid into or reported on my credit report under 15 U.S. Code 1635 ( b ) within the 20 days specified by law.

Failure to comply with this cease and desist letter will leave me with no option but to pursue legal remedies available to me under the law, including but not limited to seeking injunctive relief and damages.

This letter is not intended to be a complete or exhaustive statement of my rights, remedies, claims, or defenses. I expressly reserve all rights and remedies available to me under the law.

I expect your immediate attention to this matter. Please consider this letter as a final opportunity to resolve this issue amicably and without further legal action. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within the stipulated time frame, I will have no choice but to seek legal redress in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 

Sincerely, All Rights reserved XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Signature on file
