Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I received a copy of all of my credit reports. I inspected them for inaccurate information. 
When I discovered the inaccurate information, I contacted the companies in question to either update my account or provide me proof of the reported information. Statements showing the late payments. They didnt provide the information requested. 

I have never been late on any of my accounts. I have provided proof of the inaccurate reporting attached in this complaint. This account, if accurate, needs to be reported the same for every credit agency reporting the account. you can see that some show late, others on time, others with no information at all. they are all over the place. Please investigate and provide proof that these accounts were late. If these statements cant be provided, I request the account be updated to report PAID AS AGREED. I was never late of these accounts. 

DO NOT CLOSE my CURRENT/NEW XXXX  XXXX account. 

this complaint is for an old XXXX  XXXX account thats reporting inaccurately.

Midland credit management has ignored my disputes and my FTC identity theft report, and for months has had a fraudulent derogatory collection they are reporting and it has crippled me and my family. Ive faxed over the identity theft report, Ive spoke with some very unfriendly agent, Ive disputed online. This {$850.00} collection has hurt my credit score big time and enough is enough. This is my final attempt to try to get them to follow consumer laws before I file charges against them. Ive warned them, Ive quoted FCRA, and they think the laws do not apply to them. Either show me the original contract that i signed with midland credit management, or IMMEDIATELY REMOVE this harmful unjust collection from my report. Even after sending identity theft report you do nothing, and I wont tolerate it any longer

Last year I discovered that someone hacked into Experian and associated an email with my social security number. I could not log in because when I put my information it does not match what they have in the system. After many hours I got to speak with a supervisor who issued an escalation number ( XXXX ) to recover my account. A year later I am still waiting and have spent a number of days on the phone trying to find someone who can help. However, when I get an actual person to speak with ( no easy task ) they ask verification questions that I can not answer ( like the license plate of a car that was junked 10 years ago. I had to wait XXXX hours to try again. When I did and passed the test, the support person said they could not help and I would have to try XXXX hours later. Giving the person the escalation number did not help. I have not been able to view my report to see if there is incorrect information. I think there is because my husband checked his and found an address that did not belong to us ( it was an address they used as one of the verification questions-which I got wrong because I never lived there ). So, they are verifying my identity using false information, but I can not correct it, because I can not get in to challenge the information.

I am writing once more to express my bewilderment at your credit bureau 's handling of the investigation into the accounts, as I continue to dispute the presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. 
As you are aware, I have submitted the required FTC report regarding these fraudulent accounts. Following my submission, both XXXX and XXXX removed these accounts from their records. 
I have also directly contacted the banks associated with these accounts, and they have confirmed the removal of the accounts. Therefore, I am puzzled as to why these accounts are still being reported by your bureau. 
It is imperative to recognize that as a credit bureau, you are legally bound to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. Failing to remove these fraudulent accounts not only violates this obligation but also exposes me to further harm. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX.

On XX/XX/2019 I received a notice from XXXX XXXX that there was a new hard inquiry on my XXXX  credit report from PayPal. I did not apply for any credit at that time. On or about XX/XX/2019 I called PayPal and informed them. I was transferred to there " security '' section. They informed me that an application was submitted in my name, but the information submitted didn't match mine. They considered it a fraudulent application and denied the credit. They also informed me they would submit to have the inquiry removed from my XXXX  report and put an alert on my account ( I have no account with them ). On XX/XX/2019, another hard inquiry appeared on my XXXX  report from PayPal. Again, I contacted them ( spoke with XXXX ) and informed them I had not applied for credit. He informed me that again, the information didn't match mine and they considered it fraudulent. I even received a letter from them stating credit was denied because of " Risk of Invalid Identity ''. He informed me that they would resubmit to have the XX/XX/XXXX hard inquiry removed and have the XX/XX/XXXX hard inquiry removed. To date, both hard inquiries remain on my XXXX  credit report. I contacted XXXX  and was told there was nothing they could do to remove the fraudulent inquiries. I have since put a fraud alert on all three major reporting agencies due to the attempted identity theft.
