Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NJ)

Pursuant to the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT [ 15 USC 1681S-2 ] it is PROHIBITED for a financial institution to furnish Negative Information about a consumer to a consumer reporting agency without providing such notice in WRITING to a consumer of such furnishing of Negative Information 30 days prior or after furnishing Negative Information to a consumer reporting agency. I swear under the penalty of perjury that I have never received the required notice in WRITING from the financial institutions that are furnishing Negative Information about me to consumer reporting agencies. The consumer reporting agencies ( TRANSUNION AND XXXX ) are furnishing this Negative Information on my credit report and have responded to me and stated the information has been Verified when I sent in a dispute letter notifying them of the violation of my consumer rights.

A consumer reporting agency could not have used reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information they are furnishing about me and VERIFY information that has been illegally furnished to them about me. According to the FCRA this action falls under [ 15 USC 1681n ] or [ 15 USC 1681o ] and it is damaging to me. My request as a consumer exercising my consumer rights has been to DELETE all the negative information from my consumer report and to UPDATE all Late Payments to XXXX  : PAID AS AGREED NEVER LATE.

Equifax I monitor my credit with Equifax - about 3 weeks ago I signed in and was alarmed when Equifax mixed up my information with another person with a similar name ( the other person has a different SS number, Different DOB, different address etc... ) the only similarity is the name. I now have this ALL this person 's information, work, address, phone number, mortgage information etc... This error - if in the wrong hands - will leave them VULNERABLE TO identity theft and WORSE! 

This is outrageous! Does the other person have my information? Equifax is now requesting very personal information from me to get my information back and I do NOT trust their services. I have to give them all my credit card information, try to remember all the accounts that I might have over my lifetime. I would like this escalated to the highest level.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

On XX/XX/2018 at XXXX XXXX, I received a voice mail from XXXX XXXX stating that " I'm calling in regards to some personal information of yours that has now been submitted to me. It will be in your best interest to contact me with the name and number of your representing attorney. If you were not being represented by an attorney, I urge to to contact me directly today so we can discuss your situation in the options that are available to you. My phone number is XXXX extension is XXXX ''. 

I called, and the lady was very rude. When I gave the information, she immediately put me on hold for 3 minutes. I told her that I was going through a debt-consolidation company, she said that she didn't work with that company. I had already been told that they did. She started arguing with me, and I hung up. She then proceeded to call my sister ( who I do not have a relationship with ) and then called my husband. With my husband, she discussed personal information with him. I understand that no one has the right to discuss my personal information with anyone unless I give them permission to do so. Which I did not. She had to have dug pretty deep to get my sister 's information-like I said, I do not have a relationship with her. XXXX, I don't even have her phone number. 

I understand that I got into debt. I am working with someone to get out of debt. This harassment has got to stop, and I am hoping that you can do something about it.

I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, provide proof, and documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified.
