Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

XX/XX/2020 I was forced to shut my business down due to the COVID 19 virus, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) was deemed nonessential by our county commissioners that made their own decisions by an order left vaguely open by Governor XXXX orders to determine whom was essential and nonessential employees or industries. 
I didnt want to fall behind on a couple of credit cards with large balances. One being XXXX. I contacted XXXX and asked if they are offering any assistance so my account does not fall behind. The women I spoke with was through a call center. For what I could understand is yes they are offering a lower payment scale and it will keep my account current as long as it is drafted out of my account automatically on a day that works for me over an 8 month period so I choose the XXXX, my original due date has always been the XXXX of every month. My original payment was {$140.00}, and as you pay the balance down the payment goes down. The representative and I discussed and agreed to split the payment in half ( {$70.00} ). As months went on and dozens of phone calls to XXXX, certified mail demanding they fix the missed payments that were in fact made on time and impossible to be late as it was auto drafted monthly. Dozens of disputes and calls to XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX and XXXX, Ive gotten nowhere. 
Ive sent copies of my payments and a 609 letter to all 3 bureaus including XXXX with fail. Please please help me fix this problem. Im trying to buy a house and with these frivolous missed payments its really hurting my payment history.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

I recently just started reviewing my credit report and found a lot of false and unverifiable information on my report. So a month ago I send a dispute to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. I sent the letter on XX/XX/2021 and still haven't seen any response about my disputes, they're a lot of law being broken her according to the FCRA and the recently passed pandemic CARES Act.. 

Please make these bureaus follow the LAW, not right to be taking advantage of as a consumer. I need this problem fixed ASAP I will not wait another 30 days to receive no response because the FCRA clearly states it is LAW to have resolution within a 30 day period. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or will file for litigation due to the financial damage you caused me. Section 611 ( a ), it plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly.

I received a call from them yesterday ( for the second time after talking to them a month ago ) from XXXX in reference to account number XXXX. The collection agent informed me that they were going to file criminal charges for fraud towards their company they were collecting for Check N Go as well as garnish my wages/bank for funds owed. I informed the representative I spoke with his company the month prior and informed I filed Bankruptcy in XXXX and it was discharged in XX/XX/XXXX. I informed Check N Go was in fact included. I informed the representative that this time they would be hearing from my attorney for pursing the debt after notification.

I have also contacted the XXXX and MO attorney general ( since I work in Missouri, but live in XXXX ) and now you all. I don't want money, but I do want their predatory collection practices looked into and the company fined for threatening with out intent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

I Started off by sending my notice of my request for a listed number of documents for XXXX to mail to me on XX/XX/2019 I also sent out disputes to all 3 credit Bureaus This listed consisted of a number of documents I have a right to as a consumer. This list includes - 1. The complete original alleged promissory note that shows my signature 2. The account transaction history 3. Any required default or acceleration notices 4. The notice of sale document 5. The Calculation of Surplus or Deficiency letter 6. Any additional finance contracts including those related to insurance or finance products 7. The buyers guide 8. The purchase order 9. Any license, bond or registration document required by the state that allows you to hold or service this alleged promissory note. 

On the XXXX of XXXX XXXX mailed me The Calculation of Surplus or Deficiency Letter, The Notice of sale document. They did not send me any additional documents related to insurance or Finance products, XXXX  XXXX  XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX ), The purchase order, Any License or bond or registration document required by the state that allows them to hold or service this alleged promissory note.The Creditor lied on the contract and stated that I placed a down payment of {$1500.00} ( I Attached proof of this fraudulent claim ) The Account Transaction that I received from XXXX Omits 5 Months worth of transaction history with no explanation of why. It shows a Balance and Past due Balance on all bureaus which is a violation but it also shows a balance that is more than {$12000.00} higher on XXXX  and a past due balance that is inconsistent with the other 2 bureaus, The dates of last activity are just as inconsistent, and so are the dates of last payments made, 2 of 3 credit bureaus report the wrong credit limit, A monthly payment also reports which is also a violation. In my initial contact with XXXX I told them this account was a Retail installment sale contract not an auto loan, they report to the bureaus that the account is indeed an auto loan but yet send me a contract stating that it is true indeed a Retail installment contract but yet it hasn't change on the bureaus or even report that the account is being disputed. This is affecting the way my credit is scored and is no way to report the truthful accurate complete data. Below I have Attached more than enough documents to convince you of this blunder on my credit report.

Experian : On XX/XX/2021 I began creating an account to freeze my credit report. The website malfunctioned and would not accept my information including my choice of pin despite the fact I entered all correct info. I called them and the phone robot accepted my info, froze my report and gave me a confirmation # ( 8 digits that was read quickly and only once ). They said they would send me my pin to the email address ( which is correct ) assigned to the account. I never got the email ( XX/XX/2021 ). I have called them and I can not get to a person on the phone. They do not provide access for my problem. They hang up on me. Now my credit report is frozen and I can not access my account ( no pin nor a password ).

On XXXX, I submitted a request to block accounts on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 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. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the 2015 OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's 2017 data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
