Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am currently experiencing extreme difficulty with the credit bureaus. XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion are all reporting my XXXX Accounts as a revolving debt. The definition of revolving debt is- Revolving debt is debt that typically has a variable interest rate, an open-ended term and payments that are based on a percentage of the balance. Revolving debt has a pre-determined limit, agreed upon by the lender and borrower. 
Revolving debt is the kind of debt that credit cards offer and is usually an easy way to get credit. It can be a useful tool when used with discipline. This is damaging my score and affecting my lively hood. My revolving accounts such as XXXX XXXX Credit Card, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX are all in good standing. I have been paying about XXXX-XXXX % of my balance charged every single month. My credit score should be much high than it is. The credit reporting agencies are in direct violation of The Fair Credit Reporting Act where it states, '' Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate ''. XXXX account number XXXX, XXXX and XXXX should be reporting as UTILITY not revolving. XXXX acct number XXXX should have a XXXX balance and account number XXXX should have a balance of {$160.00} not {$380.00} reported. Due to the erroneous reporting since XXXX 2014, my credit score has suffered tremendously. Revolving accounts reporting as past due or late can damage a consumer 's credit report and in this case I have suffered severely.

I hope you can help me, as I am sure you are aware that it is very difficult to get any response from these agencies.

Complaint narrative:
Transunion XXXX showed up on my credit card bill several times and NONE WERE AUTHORIZED. My credit card issuer has disputed/refunded what was paid but this scam is apparently very widespread as I viewed the pages and pages of complaints online. You should check into this because if it is a legitimate business, they should be penalized significantly. If it is a scam, with as many illegal transactions as this entity has been involved in, they should be able to be tracked down and prosecuted. Then my credit card issuer notified me that another unauthorized transaction for an escort service was attempted for {$39.00}. So the XXXX must be related.
