Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OK)

There are several inaccurate and unfair accounts on my consumer report. The banking system is dependent upon my consumer report being fair and accurate. Without my consumer reporting being fair and accurate to me I can not extend my credit and provide for my family. I was never notified from TransUnion that the accounts in the letter attachment would be furnished on my report. TransUnion failed to do the initial investigation for these reports and ask me if the accounts were mine or if I wanted them furnished. This grave error has undermined my confidence in TransUnion. TransUnion assumed the role to furnish this information on my behalf. I did not give them my written consent to furnish any of my private information. Please see my following letter for all accounts to be updated or removed. The accounts I am specifically talking about are attached and uploaded as well.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Strauss Factor Laing & Lyons (CA)

I received a threat of a lawsuit from Strauss, Factor, Laing and Lyons for their client XXXX XXXX XXXX. In 2020 I asked XXXX XXXX the original named creditor under Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, 15 USC 1692g to provide validation of the debt. They replied that they had sold the debt to XXXX and had no proof of debt and were not required to provide proof because they were not pursuing the claim. Subsequently, I have repeatedly asked XXXX to provide me with proof of debt under the relevant federal laws cited above. This request was also made in the state of California and is also covered under California Penal Code which provides for a fine of {$100.00} per day for each day that the proof is not provided. That amount now totals approximately {$54000.00} and continues to accrue because rather than providing proof of debt, XXXX has instead decided to harass and threaten me. 
I have attached my first Identity Theft Report which has subsequently been updated as companies have assisted. XXXX XXXX has refused to assist and has never provided any documentation. That refusal has delayed my update of my ID Theft report and has delayed my ID Theft Insurance claim.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NV)

I applied for an XXXX XXXX XXXX card today. Prior to applying, I verified that it was not stated that my personal credit would be pulled. In fact, the SSN entry box had an information icon next to it which, when clicked, clearly states that my social is only being used to verify my identity. This is a business account and as such should not report on the personal side anyway. If I granted permission or authorized this inquiry, then it was hidden which violates UDAAP and should be immediately removed as it was obtained illegally. XXXX XXXX refuses to acknowledge their illegal practices which obviously violate UDAAP.

Company: SANTANDER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (OH)

My complaint involves Santander Bank and their refusal to honor their zero-liability policy. They denied my claim for the very reason someone would file a claim. Apparently they denied my claim because the fraudulent charges were made within walking distance of my last valid transaction. I didnt know thieves were supposed to adhere to strict guidelines when stealing someones debit card. Also, they said the chip was used in the debit card. Hmm, when they stole my debit card they also stole the chip embedded inside the card??? No kidding, geniuss! Also, the PIN was used. Not sure how they got the PIN, but my last transaction was PIN-based and they could have seen me enter it. Who knows? The fact is, I didnt make these charges ... XXXX for {$17.00} on XX/XX/2018 Cash Withdrawal for {$800.00} on XX/XX/2018 Cash Withdrawal for {$180.00} on XX/XX/2018. Santander needs to protect their customers, not throw them under the bus.
