Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

This compliant concerns multiple fraudulent issues on my credit reports as held by XXXX, Equifax & XXXX. I was out of the country for 5 years and upon my return came to find multiple fraudulent accounts in collections on my consumer credit files including XXXX. I have immediately set myself to the monumental task of correcting these matters. I am asking this agency provide oversight and contact the CRA 's so that my situation is taken as serious as it should be. 
I currently have these multiple issues under dispute, both online and by mail and would like for the CRA 's to stress that collection agencies, lenders and anyone else transmitting data against my SSN and or other personal information, provide transparency as is outlined in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 

Information reported to the CRA 's is being done so fraudulently. 
I ask that such information, in a tangible format, be provided to me and that such fraudulent collection accounts be removed from my files as held by XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. 

That a fraud of this caliber was allowed to be performed against my information is startling, as no safety measures of verification were apparently performed by the lenders who now report and besmirch my information. I have numerous names and addresses on my files and need assistance to stomp down on this before it does more damage than has already transpired. 

I would also like a copy of this complaint to be transmitted to each and every collection agency, lender and/or creditor so that they may be informed as to my situation.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (WY)

In XX/XX/2018 I applied for a credit card thru PayPal. On XX/XX/2018 I received a letter indicating I must call Synchrony Financial ( XXXX ) to confirm my application. In XX/XX/2018 I received a phone call from Synchrony saying that my application had been denied and that a followup letter would explain why. 

By late XX/XX/2018, I had not received a followup letter explaining why I had been denied. I phoned the number above and was told that the letter was sent and was probably lost in the mail and they would sent another. In mid XXXX I phoned the number again to report that I still had not received the followup letter. They replied they had been having problems with the US Postal Service and they would re-send the letter. 

To date I have not received the promised followup letter and still have no idea why I was denied. I would like this issue resolved.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: The Best Service Co.,Inc (CA)

This account that I am complaining about concerning The Best Service Company I found to be a fraudulent account in my credit report. 
The Best Service Company is attempting to collect on a debt that I do not owe. 
I got a letter from The Best Service Company on XX/XX/XXXX attempting to collect on a debt that I do not own, and now recently found this company furnishing derogatory information about me. I sent The Best Service Company a letter of dispute of the alleged debt on XX/XX/XXXX for validation of debt XXXX XXXX XXXX - Notice for validation of debts, and another letter of Cease and Desist on XX/XX/XXXX. I did NOT get a response from The Best Service Company regarding this alleged debt. Unfortunately this company did not give me Lawful validation for the alleged debt under the FDCPA. 
I did give The Best Service Company a chance in good faith to validate the alleged debt. The problem with The Best Service Company is that they are furnishing information about me without having permissible purposes according to the FCRA, this makes it an Identity theft. Furthermore The Best Service Company is attempting to collect on a debt that is considered income according to the IRS for being a charge off with a XXXX balance. XXXX does not get reported to the CRAS According to XXXX, and this debt has a XXXX balance according to the original creditor. What are they collecting on? The alleged debt has already been charged off through the IRS with a 1099-C Cancellation of Debt.

These are the violations of Consumer LAWS, and Criminal LAW.

15 U.S. Code 1681b ( c ) ( 3 ) Permissible purposes of consumer reports.

15 U.S. Code 1681 q - Obtaining information under false pretenses.
