Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

Dear TransUnion I hope your day is going well, but I need your help. I noticed the following issues with these accounts on my credit report : XXXX : Account number : XXXX, Unverifiable. Past due needs to be updated, repaired or fixed. 

XXXX  | XX/XX/2023 : Account number : XXXX, Unverifiable. Past due needs to be updated, repaired or fixed. 

XXXX : Account number : XXXX, Unverifiable. Past due needs to be updated, repaired or fixed. 

XXXX : Account number : XXXX, Unverifiable. Past due needs to be updated, repaired or fixed. 

I did some reading on the internet about credit reporting laws, and from my understanding if a consumer finds errors on their credit report, they have a right have them fixed, right? I got this information from the FTC, and the CFPB. This incorrect information on my credit report is causing problems when I try to apply for credit. Please investigate this matter, and get back with me when you are finished. I hope this will be soon. 



Thanks.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

I am writing to formally request the removal of an unauthorized hard inquiry on my credit report. This inquiry was made by XXXX XXXX in connection with a personal loan application. At the time of the application, your representative assured me that I would be approved based on my credit score and bank statements, even as the sole owner of my XXXX, where deposits are made into my XXXX  checking accounts. Despite these assurances, my credit report now reflects a hard inquiry from XXXX XXXX. 
This unauthorized hard inquiry constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies can only furnish a consumer report for permissible purposes and that users of consumer reports, such as XXXX XXXX, must have a permissible purpose to obtain such reports. The FCRA, specifically under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, outlines the permissible purposes for which a consumer report may be obtained, and this situation does not meet those criteria. 
Furthermore, the misinformation provided by your representative constitutes deceptive business practices, which are prohibited under the XXXX XXXX XXXX Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This act gives the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) the authority to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices ( XXXX ). 
I kindly request that XXXX XXXX take immediate action to remove this unauthorized hard inquiry from my credit report and provide me with written confirmation once this action has been completed. Failure to address this matter promptly may result in my pursuing further legal remedies.

My XXXX loans used to be serviced by XXXX. In XXXX of 2023, I was informed the loans would be transferred to XXXX. And indeed they were transferred and my XXXX account shows a balance of {$0.00} and a payment in full on XX/XX/2023. Since this time, XXXX has been servicing my loans with no issue. 

However, XXXX continues to report all of loans to TransUnion credit report. I have disputed the issue twice with XXXX and twice to TransUnion. As a result, my credit report shows a nearly double student loan balance ( because XXXX rightfully reports their balance but XXXX continues to report a balance owed on all of the loans despite the transfer, full payment, XXXX balance ).

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) is a federal law in the United States that governs the behavior of debt collectors and protects consumers from abusive or unfair debt collection practices. Here are some key provisions of the FDCPA : 1. Communication : The FDCPA restricts the times and places debt collectors can contact consumers. They can not call before XXXX XXXX  or after XXXX XXXX unless the consumer agrees otherwise. They also can not contact consumers at their workplace if they are aware that the employer prohibits such communications. 

2. Harassment and Abuse : Debt collectors are prohibited from engaging in any conduct that is meant to harass, oppress, or abuse consumers. This includes using obscene or profane language, making threats of violence, or repeatedly calling with the intent to annoy.

3. False or Misleading Representations : Debt collectors can not use deceptive or misleading practices to collect a debt. They must accurately identify themselves, the debt they are attempting to collect, and provide information about the consumer 's rights.

4. Validation of Debts : Upon request, debt collectors must provide consumers with written verification of the debt, including the amount owed and the name of the original creditor.

5. Cease and Desist : Consumers have the right to request that debt collectors stop contacting them. Once a written request is received, the debt collector can only contact the consumer to confirm they will cease communication or to notify them of legal action being taken.

FDCPA applies only to third-party debt collectors.

I have recently discovered that there is unauthorized information in my name being used on my credit reports and would like to file a dispute. This information is unauthorized, and I did not approve it to reflect on my credit reports. I believe I may be a victim of identity theft. I have a security lock on my credit report, and I was not alerted to this information being authorized on my reports and I am insisting that they be deleted from my credit report as soon as possible. These items are fraudulent and impacting my relationships with creditors. I have reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission 's Identity Theft Affidavit in regard to this incident. In addition, I have attached a PDF document reflecting all items that were found to be unauthorized by any such. Please investigate these matters and remove the disputed items as soon as possible.

I have been calling Nelnet since XXXX and still have not been able to get in touch with anyone. When trying to use the chat service, I can not get past the Bot. 

The highlight of this horror was on XX/XX/XXXX when I called earlier in the day ( on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  they hung up while I was still in queue, the recording went from 'please hold ' to 'call tomorrow ' and disconnected. 

But on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I waited on hold for 2 hours and 35 minutes. Eventually an agent got my call, but immediately put me on mute. After a couple of minutes of me saying " hello? '' and such, they put me on hold. They picked up again, put me back on mute, I resumed, " Hello? Hello? '' knowing full well that the agent was trying to make their stats look good without having to do their job or possibly get stuck on a long call close to closing time, or close to 'clear the queues ' time. I work for a call center, I knew exactly what they were doing to me. 

To prove I was correct, when the agent hung up on me I was transferred to an automated survey, which asked if the agent I had just spoke " with '' ( no, I spoke AT the agent ), was knowledgeable, professional, and, ahem, " willing to help ''. Insult to injury! 

I am now paying out of pocket with my family 's grocery money because I can not contact this company, and clearly they can't hire enough honest employees with any integrity. Also, my loans had been forgiven and then reinstated. This is just not acceptable.

My debt has been discharged, yet two XXXX credit cards still remain active on my credit report. I want them removed off of my credit report immediately. This is inaccurate reporting, and inaccurate reporting goes against 15 U.S.Code 1681. A charge off is considered a certificate of indebtedness, which means it is income and MUST be removed off of my credit report. XXXX XXXX- Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX-Account # XXXX These XXXX accounts have been labeled as charge off 's on my credit report and MUST be removed immediately. I recently came across information related to charged- off amounts and their implications under the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) regulations. According to the IRS Article, a charge-off is considered a CERTIFICATE of indebtedness, which means it is treated as income, and, therefore, eligible for removal from the records, and my credit report. In light of this information, I REQUEST ALL CREDIT AGENCIES assistance and removal of the two charged-off XXXX accounts associated with my accounts.
