Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NJ)

To Whom it May Concern ; I am writing you about inaccuracies that are being inequitably furnished by Transunion on my Consumer Report. 

These inaccuracies damaged my right to extend credit. I am being discriminated against by a long list of apartment complexes solely due to harmful information on my consumer report. 

According to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ), Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. I hereby put your organization on notice and am informing you that I NEVER gave consent to this report being furnished by you on my behalf. I am aware of the fact that your organization ASSUMED a vital role. Because of this, my livelihood has been adversely affected.

There is no law that states anything needs to be reported to a consumer reporting agency. Therefore, TRANSUNION is liable under 15 USC 1681n.

15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), clearly states that consumer reporting agencies MUST exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and RESPECT for THE CONSUMERS RIGHT TO PRIVACY. Your organization neither exercised its responsibilities with fairness and impartiality NOR protected MY right to PRIVACY. 

Please show me the law where it states a credit reporting agency may report non public personal information on a consumer without consent. 

I called and spoke to your representatives several times to remedy this. Ive lost countless hours since XX/XX/2022 to this. Ive lost sleep, nutrition, a portion of my moving money, and am STILL suffering from mental anguish and anxiety every day as a result of this. Available apartments I am qualified for are being rented by others as my reputation continues to be affected by these inaccuracies and without my consent. I have a deadline to move by XX/XX/XXXX! My safe livelihood is at stake and I am at risk of homelessness because of YOU not PROTECTING MY RIGHT TO PRIVACY and furnishing non-public personal information WITHOUT MY CONSENT. 

You should be ashamed for operating in a way that puts consumers lives at risk, blatantly committing fraud, and aggressively violating consumer rights to privacy. 

I am requesting proof that Transunion investigated any negative items you furnished to my consumer report. This grave step affects my reputation. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( e ) an investigative consumer report would mean you conducted interviews with family and friends. You must not rely on information from a creditor.

In the FCRA, 15 USC 1681a ( e ) clearly states that an investigative consumer report is ; obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information SHALL NOT include factual information on a consumers credit record OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM A CREDITOR of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 

Further, pursuant to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) I was supposed to be given a disclosure to opt out of my non public personal information being reported by a non affiliated third party. I was not given this disclosure.

Further, pursuant to 15 USC 1681b credit reporting is voluntary. I did NOT consent neither did I provide written notice to you to report account status.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1666b timing of payments, a creditor MAY NOT treat a payment on a credit card under an open ended credit plan as late for ANY PURPOSE.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( b ) your organization did not adopt such procedures that meet the need of commerce for consumer credit. 

As a result, I hereby demand you to do the following today ; XXXX. Block and XXXX XXXX BANK, XXXX Account. Account number in attachment XXXX. Block and Delete BANK XXXX XXXX account - Account number in attachment XXXX. Remove late payments from XXXX XXXX BANK XXXX XXXX Account Number in attachment I was never late on XX/XX/2022 on this account. Update the account as paid/current I was never late on XX/XX/2022 on this account. Update the account as paid/current I was never late on XX/XX/2022 on this account. Update the account as paid/current Thank you for your cooperation : I have contacted the attorney general regarding this matter.
