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. (DC)

I called TRANSUNION ( on this day and the time you did ) reporting inaccurate information from alleged creditor name by DEPT OF EDXXXX. The alleged creditor DEPT OF ED/XXXX  is a third- party collector which is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1028A AGGRAVATED IDENTITY THEFT, which is lawful to contact a third party with my private and personal business. I, the consumer never gave TRANSUNION permission to take my information.

TRANSUNION have knowingly transferred, possessed, or used, without lawful authority, a means of identification of me, which is a felony punishable with up to 2 years of imprisonment, in addition to civil liability. This account is not mine not is the alleged debt, nor did I have a contract to do business with DEPT OF EDXXXX. TRANSUNION has failed to provide one, the consumer with any accurate validation in writing pursuant to the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT, 15 USC 1681g, I expressed my right for full disclosure to me of all the documents they have recorded and retained in the consumers file at the time of requested concerning the alleged account to support TRANSUNION claims on my credit file.

Furthermore TRANSUNION has claim they are doing an investigation Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( e ) which defines an investigative consumer report as a consumer report in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, etc., who may have information of any items on the consumer file which you will have to show me proof via affidavit of fact under penalty of perjury ; Which TRANSUNION is in violation because I was not given any type of these reports in this investigation.

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( b ) The Congress requires that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy and proper utilization of such information. As a consumer I demand you remove the accounts listed below Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) which comprehensibly states that the only permissible purposes of consumer reports by any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under the following circumstances and no other and is in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I moved to XXXX NC in XX/XX/XXXX and had several XXXX credit cards that I was using for moving and living expenses. All five accounts were current and had always been paid on time when XXXX unexpectedly closed the accounts without warning or cause. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent XXXX a letter asking to reopen the account in exchange for the additional consideration. In my letter, I provided two offers to XXXX, with the first being to reinstate the accounts in exchange for the consideration which was enclosed. The second offer was to accept the consideration as payment in full. XXXX accepted the payment and never reinstated the accounts. Shortly thereafter, XXXX began reporting the accounts as late and eventually as charge offs. However, the accounts were settled in full per the letter sent XX/XX/XXXX and I was never late on a payment. On XX/XX/XXXX I decided to pay additional consideration to XXXX in exchange for their agreement to remove the negative information reported. They again accepted my consideration checks but never removed the negative items from my credit reports. I have attempted to dispute the information with the credit bureaus as well as directly with XXXX many times but they continually fail to report the account accurately. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent XXXX a letter again disputing the status of the accounts and demanding validation. XXXX failed to provide adequate validation and simply replied to my demand with old credit card statements. XXXX also failed to report all five accounts as being in dispute. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent XXXX another letter demanding the five accounts be updated to remove all negative items, or to correctly report the accounts as never late, paid as agreed. Today, I received more letters from XXXX simply providing old credit card statements once again. These five credit card accounts are negatively impacting my credit score and XXXX has deliberately and continually ignored my demands to correct the information.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: AES/PHEAA (MI)

Good Afternoon, I am trying to find out whom the best person/bureau for me to contact regarding a financial dispute. I took out a Direct Parent Loan for my daughter in XXXX in the amount of {$9500.00} at 7.21 % interest. I have made the monthly payments of $ 75-100 ever since XXXX and requested on each check that the overpayments amount be applied to principal amount. I have contacted them several times ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ( remove " Pay a head '' terms ),  XX/XX/XXXX ), regarding the balance and how payments were being applied, they keep stating they would escalate, review and get back to me. It looks like they added another {$740.00} of INT Capitlztn, which if you take XXXX7.21 % that equals {$680.00}. It also looks like they changed the terms at some point. 
My recent review on my credit report shows a balance of {$9300.00} still being owed?! I am not sure how this could be possible with such a low interest rate and consistent payments being made on-time and even during times when the loan is deferred ( because she is now in XXXX school ), I am still making the payments but the balance isnt going down??.

Company: Financial Accounts Service Team Inc. (GA)

I have requested a debt validation letter on two separate occasions. For my own records, I did record the conversations of me requesting them. I have yet to receive them and am being continually harassed by this company. They went so far as to say that if I paid them, they would lie to the credit bureaus and have it removed. I asked for this in writing so I could report them and they stated they could only give a verbal agreement. Letting me know, they lack proof of this debt and this is simply an attempt to collect money from a working class American.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (IL)

On XX/XX/2021, I received an alert, a text message on my phone stating that there was a fraud alert and the message asked me to confirm if I had authorized {$80.00} from the XXXX ATM located at XXXX HA. I immediately responded to the alert, NO, then the next message stated my card was blocked. I called in, the representative just said they needed to block or freeze my account. At this point, online showed XXXX transactions had went through, same atm, for a total of {$400.00}. One transaction for {$200.00}, and two transactions for {$100.00} each. I filed dispute, sent back information and assumed this would be resolved. My dispute was denied and now I am waiting on snail mail to come to tell me what documents were used in the denial. I had my card in my possession and physically was located in my house online working in college admissions. My car is in the shop and I have not given my debit card out and would not have done XXXX transactions to incur a fee when I know my withdrawal limit is more than {$200.00} per transaction. My card is an Uber XXXX from XXXX Bank. I remember getting an alert from Uber that someone had logged into my account but at the time I did not investigate. I went to the location where the XXXX ATM was used. It is in a XXXX that I have never been in until last week when I went to see if I can get the loss prevention to pull the atm or their camera on XXXX at XXXX to help in this investigation. I am not sure how someone could get into my debit account without my atm unless the machine or they used some type of cardless option or the bank has mistakenly in error pulled funds from my account that were supposed to be pulled from someone elses account.

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 the credit bureaus 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. XXXX attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

I have Amazon visa  card with Chase. they did not send a bill for the month of XXXX. consequently, I did not pay it. when I realized the mistake they made, I contacted them on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. I was told my late charges would be removed, but the over {$70.00} interest would not. I have not received a bill for XXXX either, and their customer service is not longer available. I have spent hours trying to contact them. The late charges have not been returned, even after I paid the bill I don't know how much I should pay or what my full bill is for XXXX. I pay my full bill every moth and have never been late. I am not in any financial difficulty.

I fear the covid19 pandemic is being used by Chase as an excuse to profit and obtain high late charges from customers.
