Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AZ)

I am writing to express my concern regarding a hard credit inquiry conducted by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. The information provided on the TransUnion report was invalid, specifically the *phone number listed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX When I called this number, a lady answered and claimed it was her personal cell phone and that she had no affiliation with this or any other bank. She sounded genuinely concerned. 

After hours of failed attempts, I finally received a call from the bank ( XXXX XXXX, ID # XXXX ) from XXXX. I was informed that as a normal procedure, they conduct a hard credit inquiry on every HELOC once a year. I explained that this was incorrect and that all hard credit inquiries require my explicit authorization. The representative stated that they have the right to do this whenever they want. After requesting to speak with a manager, the same teller returned and informed me that this was a known issue, and my HELOC was closed. They assured me that the hard credit inquiry would be deleted, stating they are only deleting it because my HELOC is closed ( which it is not ), raising another concerning issue. 

This bank is providing misinformation and affecting my credit report, as well as reporting an incorrect phone number on their TransUnion hard credit inquiry. I am extremely concerned not only for my credit but for other members as well. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Feel free to adjust any details as needed! If theres anything else you need, just let me know.

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 XXXX 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, Experian, and XXXX data breach.
