Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AL)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX XXXX  and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

I sent a wire transfer for XXXX USD on XX/XX/year> from my Wells Fargo checking account. This wire was sent to a US Company as part of the completion of a business deal which closed on XX/XX/year>. Wells Fargo told me they needed to verify my Identity before they could send the wire transfer. I provided them with all the information which they asked for, and yet they still not send the funds although I have a confirmation that the wire would be sent on XX/XX/year>. I continued to phone Wells Fargo, who then transferred me from department to department, and after 2 hours, I still had no information, I even spoke to someone at their executive office at XXXX XXXX  EST and he assured me that he would make sure the wire was sent immediately. 
My recipient has still not received the funds 24 hours later on XX/XX/year>. 
This illegal withholding of my money by Wells Fargo has cost me thousands and thousands of US dollars. 
My complaint is valid and I would NOT recommend Wells Fargo to anyone. I have banked with them for 24 years and I am disgusted with the way they have treated me. I have lost credibility with the Businees company and have lost a lot of money. 
At this time XXXX XXXX EST on XX/XX/year>, my recipient has still not received the funds and my bank account is still minus the the XXXX USD. As far as I am concered, this is an illegal action by Wells Fargo bank. Taking funds from my checking account and not releasing the wire to my recipient 's bank.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the items listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

My account with this XXXX is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 reported in months I was reported late to be removed 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!

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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

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: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MA)

On XX/XX/2023, I sent a letter to Experian disputing an account on my credit report that does not belong to me and that has inaccurate payment details compared to other reporting agencies such as XXXX and XXXX. 

The disputed account has a debt balance of {$4200.00} and is listed on my Experian credit report. Despite the fact that I have never opened an account with the company in question, the account was erroneously added to my credit report, damaging my credit score and my ability to obtain credit. 

After sending my dispute letter to Experian, I received no response or acknowledgment of receipt for several weeks. On XX/XX/2023, I checked my Experian credit report and found that the dispute had been completed and the account had been updated, but without mailing me proof of debt and other relevant information. This was unacceptable and left me feeling frustrated and powerless. 

To my surprise, XXXX had already deleted the account from my credit report, which confirms that the debt in question does not belong to me. XXXX also has no record of the debt, which further supports my dispute. I find it puzzling that Experian would not do the same, despite being provided with the same information.
