Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I have disputed  XXXX  public records that are showing in error on my credit report. I have sent certified letters requesting that they validate it and provide proof of who and what they have that verified the information. They are verifying through a  3rd  party agency, not the original creditor. I have already spoke with the original creditor and they have verified that the credit bureau has not contacted them, and that they could n't provide the verification to them anyway by law. However even after submitting this information and requesting validation again, the credit bureau has continued to just send me notices saying that it 's been validated.

A collection acount appeared on my credit report since XX/XX/XXXX showing that I owed balance from the XXXX XXXX an apartment I lived in XXXX. So I contacted the XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and got their email reply showing that I don't owe them anything, there must be something wrong with the collection agency XXXX. I called XXXX on the same day and sent them my email correspondence with The XXXX XXXX and asked them to remove the account on my credit report. This account disappeared on my credit report after few weeks, so I thought it's finished. On XX/XX/XXXX, I got a call from XXXX again asking me to pay the account. I reiterated the story to that person again and sent them everything again through email on the same day, never get their reply. Until XX/XX/XXXX, I was applying a new apartment, this collection account appeared again on the tenant screening report from Experian RentBureau, and the application got declined due to this account. Now RentBureau asked me to provide a letter from XXXX showing that this account wasn't mine, but XXXX was saying that this account wasn't mine so they won't provide anything to me. Neither of them would like move forward for my case, but the account is still on the report and damaging my housing application!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30  days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section XXXX ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (CA)

Over the past six months I have experienced a series of transaction reversals initiated by my bank which have had a profoundly negative impact on my financial stability. These reversals have affected my ability to meet essential financial obligations, specific financial obligations such as rent/mortgage payments, utility bills, etc. and have caused immense stress and inconvenience in my life.

I understand that transaction reversals may be necessary in cases of fraud or unauthorized transactions, and I appreciate the banks commitment to protecting its customers. However, in my situation, these reversals should not be happening because the company didnt have permission to charge my card. The company forged my signature on documentation. I have provided all documentation requested by my bank including a police report. I trusted this bank to protect my money instead they are making it easy for me to be a victim of fraud without securing my account.

An account was fraudulently opened in my name on XX/XX/2016 by TRANSUNION Credit with a current balance of {$400.00}. I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the account. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the Identity Theft report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the Identity Theft report ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy... 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the account listed below. Your failure to positively verify this account has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified account must be removed and if you are unable to provide me with a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below. I demand this account be verified or removed immediately. Accuser has failed to provide any evidence of either the injurious derogatory claim 's verifiable validity NOR any documented certification of compliance as reporting, each mandatory condition to report so DELETE NOW! You are of no legal option but to lawfully and permanently rectify your now current not compliant reporting by immediate removal of any and all derogatory claims and or modification to a perfect and COMPLIANTLY REPORTED status.

15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet Equifax is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. Equifax and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am filing a complaint because my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act have been violated by XXXX XXXX XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, I became aware that XXXX had reported a Credit card charge-off on my credit report. I disputed this account and requested through the three credit burease and to XXXX directly if that could produce a signed contract that is needed to verify an account according to the FCRA. They did not have the required documentation to verify this account. I went through five rounds of reinvestigations over the course of two and a half years and not once were they able to produce any documentation that would verify this account in accordance with the FCRA. It has now been over seven years since this account was listed delinquent and it is time-barred from being reported on my credit report. After notifying XXXX of the law and their inability to continue to report this debt, I was met with an act of retaliation. XXXX recently flagged that account as a charge-off, again, even though it was charged-off over seven years ago. How can an account be charged-off more than once? This is clearly inaccurate and is a deliberate act to harm me for the protected activity of requesting verification of a debt. This retaliatory act has caused my credit score to drop significantly and has defamed my character. This caused me to be denied for a home and for lines of credit, leading to direct financial damages and permanent defamation of my character. My only goal was to get XXXX to follow the law, now I am paying the price. I am requesting that XXXX XXXX XXXX comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit reporting act and the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and delete this time-barred account from my credit report. If XXXX refuses to follow the law, I will file suit for Defamation of Character, Retaliation, and Fraud under the FCRA.
