Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

I am filing this complaint because my credit reports show several unauthorized inquiries and inaccurate personal information that I did not initiate or approve. These inquiries have appeared without my consent, and despite reaching out to the credit bureaus to have them removed, they remain on my reports. My disputes have been ignored or dismissed without proper investigation, leaving these inaccurate inquiries to negatively impact my credit score. This situation is both alarming and unjust, as these inquiries are not a result of any actions Ive taken.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. ()

This is the third time I have now had to submit this complaint because Experian keeps giving me the runaround and CFPB keeps closing the case even though there is no resolution. 
The first time Experian responded they said they reviewed my attachments ( which I had none ) and stated they verified the negative information in my account was correct ( which there is no negative information ). The issue is they lowered my credit score by more than XXXX points for no reason whatsoever. 
After my second submission, Experian waited until the deadline then responded with we need more information. I already sent the information they requested several weeks ago.

I am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

My son has a car loan with XXXX XXXX. Since buying his car he has lost his job. I have assisted my son in paying his car note. I have not taken over his loan nor have I signed any documentation adding me as a co-owner of his vehicle or in any way to be responsible for his payments. I am simply a mother helping out her child. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I telephoned XXXX XXXX as I was concerned that my XXXX XXXX had decreased significantly. My call with XXXX XXXX had proven to be futile and frustrating as it has previously regarding the same issue. I do not have an auto loan account with XXXX XXXX or any bank. Based on online document on bank 's website I am listed as owner. Utterly not true. Something nefarious is taking place with the bank and its employees. 

On the call with the bank I identified myself over and over to the XXXX XXXX representative but to no avail. I do not have a signed contract with this bank. XXXX XXXX has been reporting me as late every month since XXXX at a cost of {$10.00} per month. On my call yesterday, I asked for a copy of a signed contract that would show my obligation to XXXX XXXX that I have an auto loan with them. I was transferred from a XXXX representative to XXXX a senior advocacy member in their resolution dept. I was told by XXXX that she has a screen shot on her computer inferring it was signed by me. I asked her to fax a copy and she told me she couldn't as she had to fill out a document to have it faxed to me and it would be in my fax shortly. Nothing came. I have previously called XXXX XXXX on several occasions regarding this same issue and it has not been resolved. 

I am concerned that XXXX XXXX is irresponsibly committing identity theft. 

RESOLUTION Immediately return all monies paid on behalf of my son and close this fictious and lying account. 
Immediately return all late monthly fees of {$10.00} since XXXX. 
Immediately contact all three credit reporting agencies ( Transunion, XXXX, XXXX ) on my behalf letting them know in writing the egregious error they have caused and return my XXXX XXXX back to XXXX. 

I look forward to your response.

Approximately XX/XX/2016, I was contacted via my cell phone from a company called TMG Financial to which I had never heard of before. The representatives for this company called my cell phone 3-4 times a day asking me to send money for a credit card to which I had no knowledge of. I further stated to them that I had never made a debt or signed a promise to pay note with this company. I naturally assumed that they were scammers because they asked me to send money and asked me to verify my personal information to which I refused because if they had opened an account with me- they would already have all of my personal information. The reps for the company were very unprofessional and refused to stop calling my cell phone until he paid them. They further stated to me on several occasions that I needed to pay my bills or they would not stop calling my job and cell. Around XX/XX/2016, they began to call my job at the XXXX 5-6 times a day. They even called on the days when I was off duty. My supervisor began to complain about the amount of personal calls I was receiving at the job. I asked them numerous times to stop calling me- they refused. Lastly, they have even began to report late [ payments on my credit report which caused my score to plummet 60 points since that time. I repeatedly told them this account was n't mine and then asked them to provide me a legal debt validation to which they refused to send the contract. However, since that time- they have continuously reported false information to the credit bureaus and harassed me ion my cell and my job. This has caused me a great amount of undue stress because of the uncertainty of losing my job because of the calls and my credit worthiness being diminished. I know that my rights have been violated in accordance with the FCRA. I have kept careful record of the phone calls on phone log and have acquired a statement from my supervisor with the amount of calls to my job- along with monthly credit reports to show the decline in my score. Every time they called, they asked me to verify my personal information with them so that they knew if they had the right person- but they failed to make sure I was the right person when reporting to the credit bureau. I never made an account or signed any contracts to pay TMG financial. I will not hesitate to confer with a consumer attorney if this matter is not addressed expeditiously. Govern yourselves accordingly. The phone number they called from was XXXX and XXXX.

I recently discovered a collection account on my credit report from National Credit Adjust ( Account Number : XXXX ), which was originally from XXXX XXXX I do not recognize or acknowledge this debt as valid. I have formally disputed the debt with the collection agency, requesting debt validation in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ). 

I have asked for : Proof of the original contract or agreement. 
Detailed accounting of the debt, including any fees, interest, or other charges. 
Evidence of assignment contracts or agreements showing the legal right for National Credit Adjust to collect on this debt. 
Despite my request, I have not received proper validation or verification. I believe this debt is either inaccurate or not legally enforceable.

If validation can not be provided, I request immediate removal of this account from my credit report.

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
