Consumer complaint received 2022-02-06
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

XXXX is intentionally, illegally, fraudulently reporting incorrect, inaccurate, information to the consumer reporting agencies. And the consumer reporting agencies are intentionally, illegally, fraudulently reporting this inaccurate, incorrect information without verifying the information first. I have disputed these 2 XXXX accounts for the last 2 years with no resolution from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, Transunion or XXXX. I first learned about XXXX in XXXX and immediately contacted them and the consumer reporting agencies to find out who they were and why they just added to new open accounts from XX/XX/XXXX. I never signed a contract with XXXX. I never borrowed any money or took out a loan with XXXX. I never authorized XXXX to run my credit or report anything to my credit. I never provided XXXX with my personal information in an effort to open any new accounts or take out any loans. Therefore, they are intentionally, knowingly, fraudulently stole my identity in an effort to collect on a debt that they do not rightfully own. I never received any written correspondence from XXXX via U.S Mail advising that they were a collection agency or debt collector when they originally claimed to acquire the debt in XXXX. Therefore, I began disputing and appealing these 2 accounts with the consumer reporting agencies and XXXX. The consumer reporting agencies just kept stating that the debt was verified by XXXX. I requested proof of the verification and a copy of the investigation. I have not received anything from the consumer reporting agencies to date. XXXX continues to send me copies of billing statements that they have generated and not the actual validation of debt, proof of ownership, proof of purchased debt, proof of certificate that verifies that they can legally collect on a debt in my State. Besides, XXXX continues to argue that this debt originated from my attendance or enrollment at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. However, I never attended XXXX in XXXX. After doing my own research, I learned that these loans originated from XXXX XXXX and was transferred to XXXX ( XXXX ) when the loans defaulted in XXXX. I've never made a payment on these accounts so even if the debt was valid, it's been more than 7 years so the Statue of Limitations was exceeded in XXXX. XXXX knowingly, intentionally, fraudulently re-aged the debt and reported it to the consumer reporting agencies in an effort to collect on a debt that they don't own. THAT'S FRAUD! They reported this debt as if they were the original creditors from XXXX! THAT'S FRAUD! They've been reporting paid as agreed, on time, never late even though I've NEVER paid them anything NEVER! Once they saw that I wasn't given in to them, they reported the account 90 days late for XX/XX/XXXX and 120 days late for XX/XX/XXXX. THIS IS FRAUD! XXXX IS FRAUDULENT! I NEVER gave XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX or TransUnion any verbal or written consent to report anything on my consumer report. No consent is IDENTITY THEFT! A copy of the law is attached with this dispute. You also do not have any permissible purpose to furnish my personal information to any third party! 15 USC 1681b Permissible purpose of consumer reports IN GENERAL Subject to subsection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. SO I DEMAND DELETION OF ALL XXXX REPORTED ACCOUNTS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! I sent the following correspondence to XXXX and they have NEVER completed and sent the correspondence back to me. Validation of a Debt Request Pursuant to 15 USC 1692g. BE ADVISED, this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed and validation is requested.

NOTICE AND DEMAND FOR CEASE AND DESIST FOR ACCOUNT # XXXX To Whom It Might Concern : I have requested that you validate the alleged debt that you claim that I owe, and all you have provided me with are excuses, statements and partial account history for accounts that you can NOT prove are mine or prove that you have the legal right to collect on the debt! 
You have violated my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 USC 1692 ( g ) - Failure to validate this alleged debt. 
I refuse to pay this alleged debt until the proper validation of this debt is provided. Please cease and desist all collection activities until you can properly validate this alleged debt. 
15 USC 1692c ( c ) Ceasing communication - If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer with respect to such debt. 
Proper validation of this alleged debt was NOT provided to me within 30 calendar days of receiving my last request dated for XX/XX/XXXX so Im now assuming that this alleged debt is fraudulent and invalid and therefore, you shall submit to myself and all consumer reporting agencies within 72 hours upon receipt of this letter, in writing, on company letterhead, via US Mail that ALL of the accounts should be deleted effective immediately and stop ALL collection activities regarding these accounts. 
Furthermore, you do NOT have any jurisdiction or authority to even collect on these alleged debts. 
FDCPA 811 [ 15 USC 1692i ] Legal actions by debt collectors ( a ) Venue Any debt collector who brings any legal action on a debt against any consumer shall : ( 1 ) in the case of an action to enforce an interest in real property securing the consumer 's obligation, bring such action only in a judicial district or similar legal entity in which such real property is located ; or ( 2 ) in the case of an action not described in paragraph ( 1 ), bring such action only in the judicial district or similar legal entity ( A ) in which such consumer signed the contract sued upon ; or ( B ) in which such consumer resides at the commencement of the action.

By the way, if you ever decide to turn this alleged debt over to an attorney to collect and violate my rights under the FDCPA 15 USC 1692 even further, just keep in mind that an attorney can NOT be a debt collector and a debt collector can NOT be an attorney.

With all that was said above, for EACH VIOLATION of the FDCPA that you have committed I am entitled to {$1000.00} per violation. You dont believe me? Ok, let me show you what the law says : FDCPA 813 [ 15 USC 1692k ] Civil liability ( a ) Amount of damages Except as otherwise provided by this section, any debt collector who fails to comply with any provision of this subchapter with respect to any person is liable to such person in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damage sustained by such person as a result of such failure ; ( 2 ) ( A ) in the case of any action by an individual, such additional damages as the court XXXX allow, but not exceeding {$1000.00}.
