Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I have been subjected to penalties to my credit score due to creative billing by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX ). 
On XXXX, my husband XXXX XXXX, passed away. Unknown to me, he carried credit cards with unpaid balances on them. I was never co-owner on any of his credit cards. However, XXXX has resorted to transfer billing of these charges from his XXXX credit account to my name in a new account number XXXX since being informed of his death. 
They have not sent any proofs of my sharing a credit card account as they claim, but sent a savings bank account that we shared, which has nothing to do with his credit card accounts. Of course we lived in the same household, and his bills came to the same address, and he made payments to his credit cards from our shared bank account. But they know that I was not a co-owner to this x XXXX account as they willingly closed XXXX other accounts with similar issue, and refuse to close this one. 
They agreed upon my request to send account initiation signature proof of their claim to my involvement in his credit card account, yet what they sent is verification of our joint bank account. Lately, my XXXX score dropped to XXXX from XXXX in XX/XX/year>. 
I am not obligated to pay for charges on an account I never owned or co-owned with anyone. 
I have spoken to multiple XXXX telephone representatives, and in person bank staff on this matter, to no avail. 
I queried this new credit account from the first bill received, yet I continue to be targeted for payment of new monthly bills in my name. This has damaged my credit. 
Again, we shared a bank account, never a credit card account. I have never signed up for or agreed to shared credit card accounts with him. I am not responsible for unpaid charges on a credit card account that I never owned. 
I would appreciate some oversight into this behavior by XXXX, which is unprofessional and unethical ; in closing his unpaid credit account and opening a new one in my name with the same balance. I should never become the subject of this activity at all, especially now having just lost my husband. I appreciate any assistance and feedback from you on this matter. 


Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

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

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

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized.

Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( c ) requires that customers be given the opportunity to opt-out of the disclosure of their nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. 

The specific ways my rights have been violated are as follows : Lack of Proper Notice : I have not received any clear and conspicuous notice from the financial institution ( XXXX ) responsible for the information reported to your bureau about their privacy policies and practices. There was no explanation of the categories of information collected and disclosed, nor a list of the categories of third parties with whom my information might be shared. 

Failure to Provide Opt-Out Opportunity : I should have been given the option to opt-out of any sharing of my nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties. To date, I have not been provided with any means to exercise this right.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

On Friday XX/XX/25 received a text message on my phone from XXXX. The message reads and I quote : Confirmed {$430.00} charged from your Acc for your recent purchase # XXXX XXXXXXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Contact XXXX if you havent made a this. 
I did not respond to the message the phone numbers are not familiar, and I was afraid this was some type of scam. I made no such purchase. I checked all my bank accounts and credit cards and found no match to this purchase. However I did notice while I was checking balances that my Capital One credit card had several new purchases I had not made. In fact, I had received notification 6 months ago that my credit balance was to be lowered as I had not used the card in some time. 
Purchases included {$350.00} dollar purchase for XXXX XXXX I have not used in 2 years and several for XXXX that I know nothing about. I called Capital one and my card has been discontinued and will be issued a new one. They are also launching a fraud investigation. 
My concern is : how was my card accessed? 
I also received 3 weeks ago a text message stating my pre-paid XXXX card was ready and to click on a link to access. Again had no knowledge of this so I deleted the message. 5 days later I received a text that my Unemployment benefits would not be available to me any longer if I did not utilize my pre-paid XXXX card. I panicked I deleted the message. But now I wish I had not. 
No I have not applied for unemployment I work full-time. No I did not apply for a pre-paid XXXX card for myself or anyone else.
