Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

I am filing this complaint against Credit Reporting Agencies and Companies for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified as 15 U.S.C. 1681. Specifically, the agencies and companies has reported outdated and inaccurate information on my credit report without my written consent, which is a clear violation of my federally protected consumer rights.

Violation of Privacy Rights : Under the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681b, a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a consumer report without the consumers written consent unless it is for a permissible purpose as defined by the Act. The outdated information reported on my credit report was furnished without my explicit written consent, violating my right to privacy and the confidentiality of my personal information.

Violation of Consumer Rights : As stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1681c, the FCRA imposes strict guidelines on the reporting of obsolete information. Specifically, information that is outdated and beyond the permissible reporting period should not be included in consumer reports. The account in question is old and should not be reported. 

The following entities, including the major credit reporting XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnionand the specific companies listed on my credit report, have played roles in the inaccuracies I am disputing : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX DEPT OF EDXXXX XXXX XXXX

What happened? 

I am filing this complaint because XXXX continues to report three student loan accounts on my credit report without my explicit consent. Despite my requests to have this information removed, they have refused to comply. This unauthorized reporting is negatively impacting my credit score and overall credit report.

Relevant USC Codes : 1. 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports - Specifies the circumstances under which a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report, including the requirement that such reports must be furnished for permissible purposes and with the consumer 's explicit consent.

2. 15 U.S. Code 1681m - Requirements on users of consumer reports- Mandates that users of consumer reports, such as XXXX, must provide notice to the consumer when an adverse action is taken based on information in the report. This includes providing specific reasons for the denial and the right to obtain a free copy of the report used.

3. 15 U.S. Code 1611- Civil liability for willful noncompliance - Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer for actual damages sustained by the consumer or statutory damages.

4. 12 CFR 1002 - Regulation B - Implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and requires creditors to provide notice of the adverse action, including the specific reasons for the denial. This ensures transparency and allows the applicant to understand and potentially address the reasons for denial.

5. 20 U.S. Code 1232g - Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) - Protects the privacy of student education records. This law limits the disclosure of such records without the student 's consent.

6. 15 U.S. Code 1691 - Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) - Prohibits creditors from discriminating against any applicant with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age. It ensures that all applicants are treated fairly and that decisions are made based on consistent criteria.

7. 15 U.S. Code 1691a - Definitions and rules of construction - Defines key terms and sets forth rules for interpreting the ECOA, ensuring that the rights and protections afforded to applicants are upheld.

8. 15 U.S. Code 1602 - Definitions and rules of construction ( Truth in Lending Act - TILA ) - Provides definitions and rules for how the Act should be interpreted, including terms like " creditor '' and " credit sale, '' ensuring that all credit transactions are conducted fairly and transparently.
