Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

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.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

Dear Equifax and CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute multiple inaccuracies, unverified entries, and misleading information regarding my credit report as it pertains to the account listed by XXXX XXXX. The discrepancies not only misrepresent my financial history but also significantly impact my credit health and overall quality of life. 

The following inaccuracies have been identified in the report : 1. **Unverified and Outdated Information** : The report shows an " Account Status '' of " Derogatory '' with a " Balance '' of {$120.00} and a " Payment Status '' of " Collection/Ch. '' However, the " Last Reported '' date is XX/XX/year>, while the " Date of Last Activity '' is noted as XX/XX/year>. This discrepancy raises serious concerns about the accuracy and timeliness of the information reported, violating my rights under 15 USC 1681e ( b ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

2. **Misleading Comments** : The report states that the account was " closed at consumers request and dispute resolved, '' yet it also indicates that the " consumer disagrees '' that the account is seriously past due. This conflicting information creates confusion and misrepresents my actual financial obligations. It is crucial for my credit report to reflect accurate information to avoid unjust penalties on my credit score.

3. **Impact on Credit Health** : I have made numerous attempts to resolve these issues with Equifax yet each time I reach out, I am met with responses that fail to address the inaccuracies adequately. The ongoing presence of this misleading information severely limits my access to credit, increases my financial burdens, and causes undue stress and XXXX regarding my financial future. 

4. **Consumer Rights Violations** : The inaccuracies in this report violate my rights under 15 USC 1681e ( b ) as well as 15 USC 1681i , which allows consumers to dispute inaccuracies in their reports and requires timely resolution of those disputes. 

Given the severity of these issues, I respectfully request that XXXX conduct a thorough investigation into this account and take corrective action to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history. It is imperative that the necessary updates to my account are completed promptly, as my financial well-being depends on it. 

I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
