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

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.

Dear CFPB, I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost importance regarding my credit report. I recently discovered that I am a victim of identity theft, and as such, I have submitted detailed information to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) outlining the unauthorized accounts and inquiries associated with my name. I am writing to request the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in rectifying this situation. 

The unauthorized accounts on my credit report do not reflect my financial activities, and I firmly believe that I should not be held responsible for them. I have diligently followed the prescribed procedures for reporting identity theft to the FTC, providing all necessary documentation and information. In light of this, I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ensures the prompt removal of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. 

I have attached a copy of the documentation I submitted to the FTC for your reference, including the Identity Theft Report and any supporting evidence. I trust that, with your intervention, we can rectify this situation promptly, protecting my rights and preventing any unwarranted damage to my creditworthiness. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution. Please do not hesitate to contact me if additional information is required or if there are any further steps I need to take. 

Thank you for your assistance in addressing this identity theft issue.

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.

I have asked TransUnion on multiple occasions to validate the inaccuracies on my credit report. To this day they have not. I need TransUnion to provide proof that I was the sole account holder for XXXX XXXX. This account is not mine and was opened without my permission or acknowledgment. The second account is XXXX XXXX which is being reported as late. TransUnion mailed my most recent credit report and it states that I have never been late but still, they reported it as late which is affecting my credit score.

I need TransUnion to comply with law 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) ABILITY OF CONSUMER TO DISPUTE INFORMATION DIRECTLY WITH FURNISHER.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' ( US DEPT OF EDUCATION XXXX ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

Furthermore, I insist on a written response outlining the steps taken, the results of the investigation, and a clear plan for the correction within the legally required timeframe.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (OH)

In XXXX of 2023 my Apple Card with Goldman Sachs was compromised through a text message scheme wherein I was contacted by someone that was allegedly " with UPS. '' They said that they had a package for me and I needed to pay a nominal re-delivery fee to have the package re-delivered. I provided them with my Apple Card XXXX Goldman Sachs credit card number. A few days later I saw a charge on the same credit card that I did not make. The charge was for {$1700.00} and it was with XXXX XXXX. I immediately contacted Goldman Sachs to dispute the charges. They opened a dispute and then contacted me a month later stating that the charges were accurate and my responsibility. Like it was some sort of evidence that these charges were legitimate, Goldman Sachs sent me a flight manifest with the name of the passenger, who I do not know, showing the flights that were booked and flown. The passenger 's name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. He flew from XXXX to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and returned to SFO from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I do not know him and I most certainly did not authorize the credit card charges. I have filed a police report with XXXX XXXX indicating this. Goldman is saying that someone accepted the terms and conditions and approved a non-refundable flight when booking and, as a result, the charges are legitimate and my responsibility. Again, someone stole my card number and they were the one to purchase the airfare and accepted terms & conditions for the non-refundable flight. I did not. I immediately opened the dispute again in XXXX. Goldman came back with the same response. So I opened the dispute again in XXXX. And again in XXXX. And again in XXXX. And again in XXXX. Goldman keeps claiming that I am responsible for these charges though I clearly did not make this purchase, I did not know about this purchase, I do not know the person who traveled, etc. This is a simple case of credit card theft. The current complaint # with Goldman Sachs is XXXX and the current Dispute ID is XXXX.

I sent a letter regarding inaccurate & unknown things on my credit report. To this day I have not received a response yet. I am being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. Under 15 U.S Code 1602 ( p ) - unauthorized use of my information. Under 15 U.S Code 1692j - Furnishing certain deceptive forms i am not participating in the collection of this alleged debt. Please cease and desist! So because it had been well over that time period I demand that these accounts get removed & deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the laws which were broken. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach & may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

Greetings, On XXXX XXXX Ive received correspondence regarding my complaint regarding my consumer laws being violated, along with my credit report information being sold to third parties, expressing the bureaus/agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax ) will need 60 days to respond with research or findings. Ive specifically given clear and concise instructions, just to receive this delayed reaction to resolution. By Law, The FCRA requires the national credit bureaus to complete dispute investigations within XXXX to 45 days, as follows : 30 days : Credit bureaus ( referred to in the FCRA as credit reporting companies ) must investigate and resolve disputes within 30 days of receiving them, not 60 days. XXXX, Equifax and XXXX does it time and time again! The three major credit bureaus topped the list of complaints submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in XXXX, ( thats you guys ) amassing nearly twice as many as the year before. Equifax let alone, has settled with the CFPB twice in recent years over allegations it harmed consumers and Im hurt! In XXXX, it paid XXXX} XXXX in restitution to harmed consumers, along with a XXXX XXXX civil money penalty, for alleged violations of consumer financial protection laws. In more recent years, XXXX, Equifax settled with the Federal Trade Commission, the CFPB and states for up to XXXX XXXX, to resolve allegations that it shared the information of 147 million consumers. With this being said, I would really appreciate the requests to be honored lawfully, without having to escalate to the Court of Law, where there are several civil penalties that have occurred against myself and estate. Please see my 609 letter attached.
