Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. ()

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.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NV)

The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also XXXX, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

Equifax had a massive breach years ago. Even so I still had to pay them {$10.00} to freeze my credit file and set a PIN. It's not much money, but that is still extortion. Since then they made a website to manage the freeze. I tried logging in today to temporarily thaw my file, but the website would not allow me to log in ( my credentials are stored in a password manager, so they were correct ). The page gave me a number to call and there was an automated system that prompted me for my social security number and to answer 4 questions based on information in my credit file. I was never prompted for the credit freeze PIN I set. This means that anyone with my social security number and information from my credit file ( remember, this is information these people let loose MORE THAN ONCE because they are poor stewards of my data ) can thaw my file with equifax. I tried calling in and asking why this was the case, but the support rep could barely speak English and could not understand what I was asking. It took me more than a half hour to speak to them, too. I am beyond furious. I have XXXX control over whether these people have my data and they are not securing my file like they are supposed to.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Penn Credit Corporation (PA)

I received a letter yesterday from PennCredit Corporation stating that I owed back Maryland State Taxes. I checked my tax returns from XXXX and XXXX and I received a refund. I did not owe. Also, this debt was not reported to any of the credit bureaus. 
I tried calling the toll free number for Penn Credit Corporation XXXX and got a recording for XXXX XXXX. This recording was over 30 seconds long. I was not able to press # until it was finished. When I pressed #, XXXX answered and went into a spiel of how I should get a XXXX XXXX. I was not able to interrupt her so I think that too was a recording. 
I feel this is a scam even though this is a legitimate company and I got the phone number from the website online not from the letter. 
They should be reported for fraud.
