Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. I found that under section 605b ( a ) XXXX and TransUnion shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt and it requires the following documents and statement to remove the disputed accounts on my file : ( 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.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) That alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) That is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) The filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$3000.00} and XXXX  XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$27000.00}. 

If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Questions such as how many file complaints against Citizens Bank for not lowering payments and helping people like myself get a lower payment that I can do? What about putting these two loans together to make one low payment. I don't get this. I thought a company like Citizen 's Bank would help consumers like myself? Why are there no options for me and others like myself in the USA? 

Why is this? Why would CB not help?

Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

You guys assumed this role without permission not only that you did not have my consent. You guys did not respect my right to privacy which is under 15 USC 1681 a number 4. You did not exercise your grave responsibility, you were unfair, you were partial. I have already taken the liberty to file a CFPB report and an attorney general 's complaint. You never had a permissible purpose Under 1681 b number 2. I never instructed you guys to furnish this report and I never consented to this report in the first place.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: ID Analytics, Inc. (OH)

My credit report was provided by SageStream to XXXX XXXX ( hereinafter " XXXX '' ) on XX/XX/2019. This report was used by XXXX to deny my application for a credit account with XXXX. A credit rejection letter was generated by XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/2019. This rejection letter indicated that my SageStream credit score was XXXX. 
At the time of this rejection my FICO score was XXXX. 
I requested and eventually received my SageStream credit report. This report contains my name, address, phone numbers, SSN, DOB, e-mail addresses, and the names of several creditor grantors that requested my report. 
This report contains no information whatsoever upon which SageStream could generate a credit score. There is no information at all about any account or payment history that I have with any creditor. 
In spite of the above, the credit rejection letter listed that I have too few revolving accounts, too few bankcard accounts, and too many serious derogatory items. 
It is my legal opinion as an attorney that the CFPB should investigate SageStream for violations of the FCRA and for fraud. It's highly likely that many more people have been harmed by credit scores having no basis in fact and by willfully erroneous reporting generated by SageStream.
