Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: National Credit Adjusters, LLC (MO)

I have reason to believe that NATIONAL CREDIT ADJUSTERS is " parking debt '' on my consumer report in an attempt to coerce me the consumer into paying a {$1500.00} debt that I don't owe and has been doing so since XX/XX/2019. I've tried to remedy this situation through the process of disputing the alleged debt, but there was no " reasonable investigation '' done on behalf of NATIONAL CREDIT ADJUSTERS or the XXXX consumer reporting agencies XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX. Running a consumer report through the " XXXX  '' automated system does not constitute as a " reasonable investigation ''. I demanded " to see '' verifiable information such as, chain of custody, purchase agreement, bill of exchange, original documentation with my wet signature in " blue ink '' not a " carbon copy ''. None of which were provided to me after the conclusion of the automated investigation. So how can this alleged debt be valid or verified? 

Per 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

Per the Federal Trade Commission : Just what is debt parking? Its the practice of placing purported debts on consumers credit reports without first attempting to communicate with the consumer about the debt. Some call it passive debt collection, but theres nothing passive about the injury it can inflict. Consumers often dont learn about it until a mortgage company, prospective employer, or other decision maker pulls their credit report and spots what appears to be an unpaid debt. With a house, car, or job in the balance, many people feel pressured to pay up even though they may not actually owe the money. 

Me and my family have suffered severely due to this inaccurate, erroneous information being reported on my consumer report. This has damaged my character, my reputation, and my general mode of living as well as my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. 


15 U.S. Code 1681- Congressional findings and statement of purpose U.S. Code ( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this sub chapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this sub chapter. 

Now how are these kinds of deceptive tactics " fair '' and " equitable '' to me the consumer? I believe my consumer rights are under attack.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
