Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a charge-off account reported by XXXX that is severely harming my credit. The issue is that XXXX no longer has accurate contact information or internal records related to this account. Ive contacted their listed numbers and email addresses and was told they have no record of the loan number in question. 

This debt has been sold, reassigned, or passed through several different third-party collection attorneys, some based in California and others in Ohio, but none of them can provide a valid accounting or ownership chain of the debt. I have tried for years to get clarification or even basic account documentation, and no one has responded or taken ownership. 

I am requesting that this account be fully removed from all credit reporting agencies due to lack of verification, absence of proper dispute process, and failure to maintain accurate consumer records in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system. I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.
