Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I've called to get my report sent to me which I was told it would. but upon asking Rep asked me fr my social security number. and provided a disclosure I had to sign before submitted my s.s. The disclosure statement did not specify whether providing my personal information was mandatory or voluntary. This lack of clarity led me to believe that I had no choice but to submit the information. When I asked the representative for clarification, their response did not address my concerns. I am concerned that this situation may violate my rights under the Privacy Act of XX/XX/1974. Additionally, I suspect that this lack of transparency may also be a violation under 15 U.S.C. 1640, which addresses civil liability for certain failures to comply with the Truth in Lending Act 's requirements.

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 these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

On XX/XX/2024, I officially informed the agency via certified mail of my status as a victim of identity theft. Despite this notification, as of the current date specified here XX/XX/2024, the agency persists in maintaining transactions in their records that originated from the fraudulent activity. According to Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, consumer reporting agencies must alert the entities supplying information about potential identity theft when an identity theft report is presented. I provided the necessary FTC reports along with a requested block of this questionable information. Once notified, per Section 623 ( a ) ( 6 ), these furnishers are obligated to cease reporting any data identified by the consumer as arising from identity theft within four business days of receiving : Adequate proof of the consumer 's identity ; A copy of the identity theft report ; Consumer identification of the disputed information ; and A consumer statement affirming the information is not linked to any transactions they conducted.

Despite fulfilling these four criteria and attaching them to this complaint, the agency has not complied with FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, which mandates blocking such information within the specified time frame. This oversight constitutes a legal breach, exposing the agency to potential civil liabilities for damages I incurred due to this noncompliance, as outlined under 15 U.S. Code 1681n.

This account NEEDS to be showing In Dispute. I have disputed this many times and it should be showing that. Furthermore, XXXX stated this was verified by the creditor via their response on XX/XX/XXXX via CFPB, verbatim. However, they have not accurately reported said verification. As you can see, with the report as of XX/XX/XXXX, I am showing a last verified date of XX/XX/XXXX. This is negligent and inaccurate reporting to my requested investigations. If it was verified, it needs to be updated. Also as requested, if it was in fact verified, per the FCRA I would need to have received investigation results and proof of verification showing alleged late payment, but this creditor did not provide that. 

This displays at least 3 major reporting violations. I would be happy to submit an FTC report to report non compliance with federal reporting laws. 

As you can also see in the highlighted report, XXXX did not even show what month they are stating the payment was late for. This is yet another error. 
_____________ This issue that has occurred was I traded my vehicle in. The new vehicle dealer was in possession of the car as it belonged to them. I sold it to them to obtain a new vehicle. This alleged late payment is completely inaccurate.

OFFICIAL CONSUMER COMPLAINT and FORMAL DEMAND a thorough CHECK of the required CERTIFIED COMPLAINT REPORTING OF PHYSICALLY VERIFIED valid, true, accurate, complete, and timely of the reported alleged claims. Furthermore, I challenge you to provide evidence supporting these claims. As a consumer, I have the right to contest the reportability of any information that is deficient in any way. I demand that you promptly and PERMANENTLY delete any alleged claims of inquiries, delinquencies, or derogatory remarks if you are unable, unwilling, or fail to demonstrate lawful evidence as requested throughout this notice. This removal must be carried out without exception or delay. 

To Whom It May Concern : My consumer rights are being violated with this inaccurate information! I have a right to be treated fairly by those who control it, so please provide me all available details on how they came up short in their responsibilities towards accuracy and compliance. I am officially challenging you to review your data on file for me! With the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and Metro 2 compliance standards, I challenge all inaccuracies or deficiencies of reporting. The credit report I received was not accurate, which surprises me because you should be adhering to the FCRA and applicable Metro 2 data field formatting standards. 

As a consumer, I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It is not complete and does not meet applicable standards because according to law you are required for both FCRAs as well as Metro 2 compliance which must be done truthfully with correct information being provided timely so that none of my rights are violated I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits. My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. 

Keep in mind, you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be available. This is not a legal exception. I am the author of any letters you receive with my name on them. Either I or my advisors wrote them with my full knowledge and consent. I am aware that there is no law that says you need to provide a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing letters from a consumer. If you do not process my letters in a timely manner, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action.
