Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

There are items/accounts on my consumer report that are a result of identity theft. Consumer reporting agency ( TransUnion ) is reporting items/accounts that do not belong to the consumer. Not only is this hindering my ability to operate in commerce, but it has caused mental anguish, defamation of character, my ability to extend credit for personal, household, and family needs. Consumer reporting agencies are to follow reasonable procedures to maximize and assure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual whom the report relates to, as well as exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. I believe TransUnion has not been meeting their reasonable procedures in a manner that is fair and equitable. The frivolous inaccurate items that are being furnished on my consumer report are by XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, which both organizations have failed to validate the alleged debt/account. There are no contracts in existence between the consumer and the organizations reporting these erroneous accounts. Furthermore, my concern is how they were able to obtain my non-public personal information. TRANSUNION, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, are in several violations of Fair Debt Collections Practice Act, the Privacy Act of 1974, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b, 15 USC 1681e, 15 USC 1681q ), makes me wonder is they attempting to conspire to create a false belief the consumer owes such alleged debt and extortionate the consumer.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: World Omni Financial Corp. (FL)

I am writing to formally request an investigation into the credit reporting practices of XXXX and XXXX. After a thorough review of my credit reports, I have identified several inaccuracies related to the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account Number XXXX Upon review, I noticed that critical information such as the open date, the date last active, and the date of last payment are inconsistently reported across the three major credit bureaus. This inconsistency is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 1681e ( b ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, I have identified additional discrepancies that I believe warrant immediate correction : Charge-Off Balance Reporting : One of my accounts, listed as a charge-off, is still showing a balance even though it was sold to a debt collector. This is inaccurate reporting, as the original creditor no longer owns the debt. The balance should be listed as XXXX, particularly since I have not received a Form 1099-C for cancellation of debt income, which is required for tax purposes when a debt is canceled. 

1099-C Reporting Issue : In my communications with XXXX, XXXX was informed that I would receive a 1099-C when the statute of limitations expires. However, if the creditor has already reduced their tax burden by reporting the charge-off to the IRS, XXXX should have received a 1099-C to include in my 2023 tax filings. The fact that I have not received this form raises serious questions about the accuracy and legality of the continued balance reporting on my credit report. 

Given the discrepancies and the potential legal ramifications under the FCRA, I respectfully request that the CFPB conduct a thorough investigation into XXXX and XXXX 's reporting practices regarding these accounts. I urge you to ensure that all inaccuracies are corrected, including the removal of any improperly reported balances on charged-off accounts. 

I trust that the CFPB will take swift action to uphold the integrity of the credit reporting system and to protect consumers like myself from the damaging effects of inaccurate credit reporting. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your response and to the prompt resolution of these issues.
