Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IN)

On XX/XX/2023, there was written correspondence ( Commercial Affidavit ) sent to the Credit Reporting Agency Transunion. I explained very thoroughly about the information within the Consumer Credit File was incorrect and needed to be removed IMMEDIATELY, as it was causing major harm to a Federally Protected Consumer. It is denying me the RIGHTS that are granted to me to secure what is needed for family, personal and household purposes. I also included the account information that I wanted to be removed because the information was wrong and the third party debt collector had no verification or validation that the alleged debt was owed but Transunion decided to furnish the information anyways without any prior written consent and pursuant to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports they are in direct violation. I gave notice of my fee schedule for Transunion being willfully noncompliant by furnishing consumer credit files that are misleading and false. I have attached the letter that was mailed and also an invoice.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (WA)

On X/XX/17 Wells Fargo withdrew money from my checking account for a charge that I do n't recognize. Maybe it should have been taken out, maybe not, I have no way to find out because I called them and they told me that it was an online transaction by XXXX XXXX and the online withdrawer had my account number but nothing else. I repeated that I needed to know what it was for and they told me that unless I stated that I did n't receive any services or product for that withdrawal, they could n't investigate the charge. I objected that I did n't KNOW what the charge was for and that 's why I contacted them. I could n't LIE and say it was n't legit when they could n't tell me anything other than that XXXX XXXX had my account number, else they could n't have made the withdrawal. I again refused to lie and asked to speak to a supervisor. She said she was sorry and they did n't do business like that - and I pointed out that they just had! She went on to create further problems. I gave her my account number over the phone and she said it was too long. I read it right off my check! Then, she told me the number she had and she had it wrong. She finally put me on hold and after waiting way too long, I hung up and called their main headquarters in XXXX XXXX. There, I was told that I should n't lie to the bank and I needed to go into a branch office so that they could call their back office and help me. Baloney! I should be able to call and get the information about that charge and it 's not my fault they did n't get all the information they should have before they took it out of my account. I told them I was XXXX and ca n't easily get to the bank, but that should n't make any difference - they should be able to give me information on money they took out of my account when I call the main customer service number - not tell me I have to lie to get that information or go into a branch so they can call their " back office '' from there. There 's something really XXXX about all this and I need some help!
