Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I have been working on my TransUnion credit profile and I noticed there are incorrect addresses on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation supporting my dispute. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. The INCORRECT Address that should be deleted are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX and there is XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. Please keep in mind that Congress ( 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) ) makes it clear that I have a right to privacy. Privacy is not defined because only I can define what privacy is to me. ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Under the subsection 15 usc 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) the reporting agency does not have my written instructions to report anything. The code says they need permissible purpose in accordance with written instructions. The credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) do not have my written permission and this should be removed accordingly. I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft. I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy section ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

On the morning of XXXX/XXXX/2017 Credit Collection Service called my XXXX XXXX XXXX daughters phone and demanded information about her phone number. She was confused and scared about what they were asking. When she would n't answer the man to his satisfaction he told her " you know we can find you just tell me what your phone number is ''. She told him her number and he said if she did n't follow his instructions he would disconnect her phone number. She started crying and told him she needed to talk to her Mom ( me ) and he hung up on her. The number he called from was XXXX. I called that number and a man named XXXX answered, confirmed the name of the company and I removed her number from their database and told them to never contact a minor again. This is a new phone number. We have no affiliation to any accounts with this company, nor was this company calling about anyone we know.

CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) CC : South Carolina Attorney General ( Complaint Filed ) CC : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CC : Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) CC : XXXX, XXXX, Transunion Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to dispute the charge-off that appears on my credit report for account XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I believe that this charge-off was the result of multiple violations of federal law, including the Uninformed Decision Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 ( a ), the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( g ) ( 2 ), and the Adequate Notice Law ( 1643 of 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( k ). Therefore, I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report.

Firstly, I was not properly informed of my rights and responsibilities under the Uninformed Decision Law. This law requires that creditors provide consumers with certain information, including the cost of credit and the consequences of non-payment, before they can legally charge off an account. I believe that I did not receive adequate information regarding my rights and responsibilities, and as a result, I made an uninformed decision. Such notice may be given to a cardholder by printing the notice on any credit card or honest on each periodic statement of account issued to the cardholder or by any other means reasonably assuring the receipt thereof by the card holder.

Secondly, I have not received any documentation from the creditor showing that I owe the debt in question, which is a violation of the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law. I am therefore unable to verify the accuracy of the charge-off. The only evidence of this debt was the agreement but the agreement, but that agreement was null and void because I made an uninformed decision, I did not understand this agreement and it was not clear and conspicuous.

Lastly, I do not believe that I received adequate notice from the creditor regarding the status of the account, which is a violation of the Adequate Notice Law. I did not receive any communication or notification from the creditor regarding the impending charge-off, and I was not given an opportunity to rectify the situation before the charge-off occurred.

Given these violations of federal law, I request that you investigate this charge-off and provide me with a detailed explanation of why it was reported. If it was indeed the result of violations of federal law, I ask that you remove it from my credit report.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

3 major credit bureau companies accumulate information on you without your consent : XXXX, XXXX, Equifax ; which are used by banks, mortgage cos, car dealers, etc. : Just about everyone : They arbitrarily use some rating system along with keeping these statistics for an inordinate & obscene amount of time whether justifiable or not : This determines interest rates usually affecting the least of us in society that can afford these interests : EX : I had car repossessed by XXXX XXXX even though customer leasing for 10 yrs when I had XXXX XXXX & in hospital for 7 days : I called XXXX myself & told them I was behind a couple of months, but would pay XXXX of month. I even provided hospital phone number for verification : They chose to repossess my car from my driveway in a rainstorm : Irrelevant now, but cost me thousands to retrieve, etc. Now this is on my credit report for 7 yrs. etc. Otherwise my credit outstanding payment wise on all related finances. My point is this : How is it that consumers are subjected to the whims of these 3 major credit bureaus regardless of whether we have access to our scores accumulating all our private financial information which can affect us adversely for so many years as if we are convicted felons ; let alone what gives them the right to accumulate our private information? I committed no crime yet whenever anyone accesses my scores which are still relatively decent mid 700s on one, etc. considering the incident ; yet I am subjected to adverse interest rates because of the credit bureaus keeping questionable information for 7 yrs, etc. More importantly explain why these bureaus are able to control the financial circumstances of millions of Americans when there are so many other mitigating factors involved in the loaning of monies for mortgages, cars, loans, etc. including fact of building rapport & continuity of payments with banks, dealers, etc. than can determine their own judgement as to whether you are a viable risk> Absurd to have so many lives be charged excess interest fees & be subjected to the power of these bureaus who have accumulated your information without your consent : Class action lawsuit should be filed forcing them to stop these practices as well as legislation prohibiting these arbitrary year numbers of maintaining questionable information that are so incredibly time consuming to combat with them ; it would take you 7 years just to update your information accordingly : Do something : Congress should do something : Millions of people fall deeper in debt because of the uncontrollable usage of these 3 large firms that have tons of questionable information accumulated that is virtually impossible to combat in order to assist you when applying for credit, etc. Thank you for your time & effort : Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA. The Bureaus failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law, they failed to properly investigate the matter by using a third party as their verification provider and have continued reporting the unconfirmed & unverified information. Given all my attempts to address it directly with XXXX, XXXX, AND TRANSUNION CREDIT BUREAUS, they are willfully negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.

My information is being sold on the dark web so I have to lock/freeze all my credit reports and pay more money and continuously monitor fraudulent alerts while trying to maintain a household and take care of my family! Please remove these accounts! 

Upon further review these hard inquiries are once again illegal. Its the same reason why I've been disputing these ( 3 ) accounts within the last 90-120 days which I have no reason why they still have not been removed off ( XXXX, equifax, XXXX ) So now I have no choice but to keep all credit bureaus locked as will be attached in screenshot.

I have been disputing this fraud for years and it has been extremely damaging and hurtful. Someone opened a Capital One Credit Card account in my name charged XXXX dollars ' worth of items and never paid the bill. Because companies can not keep my information safe, I have been a victim of multiple breeches, and other identity violations. I have suffered, denial of credit, increased cost of credit paying 159 % interest for a small personal loan, lost opportunity to obtain credit, and failure to receive unsolicited offers. I have suffered damage to my personal and professional reputation, derogatory info sent to insurers, creditors, banks, and employers. recipients on the credit report show who has received it ; damage to my reputation among my peers ; loss of financial independence ; loss of self-esteem, being personally violated, and invasions of privacy. Not to mention the emotional distress, embarrassment, and frustration of being denied credit, having to explain errors on the credit report, knowing that false information is being reported, physical symptoms : headache, loss of sleep, nausea, crying, irritable ; interference with normal and usual activities ( time spent trying to fix errors, get credit, review reports, interference with work, distracted, inability to concentrate. I am currently trying to get a new job and a new home, and this has come up yet again threatening my personal and professional wellbeing. This is absolutely total defamation of my character and humiliating to have to explain. This is also in direct violation of Fair Credit Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Public Law 111-203 ; Title X ; 124 Stat 2092 ; and 15 USC 1692g , 1692c, and 1692j.
