Consumer complaint received 2024-09-24
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I am writing to express my profound frustration and distress regarding XXXX XXXX 's mishandling of fraudulent charges, which has negatively impacted all three major credit bureaus : TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX. Despite submitting a valid police report, a notarized letter, an FTC report, and my identity documents, XXXX has reinserted the erroneous account without providing any proof of my liability. This egregious violation is causing severe financial and personal harm. 

I respectfully request your immediate intervention to initiate a comprehensive investigation and ensure a fair resolution to alleviate the ongoing hardship. TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX continue to claim the account has been verified, just three days after I submitted a formal dispute. However, they have failed to provide any documentation, including the original signed consumer contract, which is required by federal law under 15 U.S.C. 1681. 

Moreover, XXXXXXXX XXXX  has refused to adjust the balance and correct the inaccuracies in my credit report, asserting that I was using the card and making payments at the same time these fraudulent charges were being made. Unbeknownst to me, someone had gained access to my account information and was making unauthorized charges. Due to the relatively small size of these fraudulent transactions compared to my total balance, they were overlooked at the time. I firmly believe these charges are fraudulent, as evidenced by the police report I submitted.

I submitted a cfpb complaint against Transunion on XX/XX/year> for unverifiable and inaccurate information on my consumer report. Here 's the complaint number XXXX. They did not remove this information and said it was verified however, I have reason to believe that an investigation was not conducted as these items were not deleted by Transunion but was deleted from XXXX. XXXX attached labeled " XXXX Chargeoff results ''. Additionally, upon inspecting the investigation results, I noticed that the date updated for two of the accounts did NOT change which means that they did NOT contact the furnisher to investigate this information. See attached " transunion charge off results ''. I am demanding that they comply with section 611 of the FCRA and promptly delete this inaccurate and unverifiable information from my reports.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Received unwanted marketing or advertising
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (WI)

XXXX XXXX, has caused unwanted marketing problem by not having a paid account loan to be removed from the credit once paid. I have experienced higher debt ratio when a paid car loan remains on the credit report. This debt ratio is used to inflated the cost of the next vehicle, because of the previous vehicle paid status. Meaning that because this information is shared with the dealership it ultimately puts you in a higher car value because you paid off the vehicle. This information should not be shared with the car dealership because it creates a debt ratio trap.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I opened an account with Truist. I closed the account via telephone. The back office issued a check XX/XX/31 - I did not receive in the mail. I called telephone customer service and they instructed me to visit local branch for further help. Today, XXXX, local branch said there is nothing they can do to help. Teller is denying me my {$50.00} that I deposited in a Truist bank account. " There is nothing else, I can do. '' She gave me the impression that this is a loss on my end because I did not receive the check. Prior to visiting the branch, back office mentioned retail branch can help ( void check, re-issue, or give me cash ). This is not the case. 

I asked the teller to further look into my request and she denied helping me. Again, Truist owes me {$50.00}. 

She did not want to offer additional help or phone numbers to contact other staff members.

I recently discovered NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEM {$15000.00}, XXXX {$0.00}, XXXX XXXXXXXX {$0.00}, XXXX XXXX {$0.00}, XXXX {$0.00} on my credit report from EXPERIAN. This is extremely embarrassing and concerning. EXPERIAN does not have my authorization to share my personal information. I will not be paying this alleged debt unless you provide a bill of sale, assignment, or any other agreement between you and the original creditor that proves your authorization to collect on this debt. I have reason to believe you are attempting to extort me by punishing me for non-payment on an extension of credit. Please be aware that under 18 USC 894, it is a crime to collect or attempt to collect by punishing a person for non-payment. Your actions have damaged my creditworthiness, causing me to be denied other extensions of credit that I am entitled to. You do not have my consent for these actions. If you claim to be the creditor, you will be held liable under TILA for any violations. Additionally, you are in violation of the FDCPA for harassment and for furnishing false and misleading information to third parties without my consent. Under the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, you must have my permission to share my financial information with a third party, which you do not have. Furthermore, under 15 USC 1681b, you must have a permissible purpose to obtain and use my credit report, which you have failed to establish.

I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more.
