Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AL)

The following companies placed unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. I submitted request to each of the credit bureaus to have them investigated, but they replied back advising that I should contact the companies directly. The phone numbers to each of these companies were listed on my credit report. I attempted to call each one of them and could not get through because I had to either have a credit card # or my social security # in order to get past the prompt. So, I am unable to reach them using the # XXXX provided. 

I'm requesting that these unauthorized inquiries be investigated and removed from my credit report.

I desperately need some help resolving the situation at hand!! I reviewed my credit report and noticed an incorrect entry being listed in the collections section. Take note, I'm the one filing this complaint, and I give Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) authority to investigate this claim. I have tried to have this validated by the collection agency, to no avail. So, I am requesting that you please verify that the information reporting on this account is in fact correct. Also, please send me the procedures that you take in order to verify. I want to know who you contacted in order to verify their address and phone number. Since the company is unable to provide me sufficient proof that I am legally obligated to pay this alleged debt, I am requesting that you delete it from my credit report. Please send me confirmation of said deletion. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ) XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX. Please delete these fraudulent accounts ASAP.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AZ)

To whom it may concern, It has come to my attention. That my personal information and my identity have been compromised. I received a notice in the mail that I was involved in the Equifax data breach. I find it very alarming that your company continues to violate my rights, by reporting my personal information and following accounts incorrectly.

I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States, I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) - nothing can be furnished on my consumer report without my written consent 15 U.S. Code 1611 - Criminal liability for willful and knowing violation Whoever willfully and knowingly ( 1 ) gives false or inaccurate information or fails to provide information which he is required to disclose under the provisions of this subchapter or any regulation issued thereunder, 15 U.S.C 1692 ( C ) Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt.

15 U.S.C. 1681-11681x The Act ( Title VI of the Consumer Credit Protection Act ) protects information collected by consumer reporting agencies such as credit bureaus, medical information companies, and tenant screening services. Information in a consumer report can not be provided to anyone who does not have a purpose specified in the Act. Companies that provide information to consumer reporting agencies also have specific legal obligations, including the duty to investigate disputed information. In addition, users of the information for credit, insurance, or employment purposes must notify the consumer when an adverse action is taken on the basis of such reports. 

Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity, and time. 
If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately. I have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports. 
Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit report.
