Their rates were too high. 
ON XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Loan Depot sent an UNSOLICITED EMAIL, that " confirmed they had received a " mortgage inquiry '' and to proceed the the process to call XXXX. I NEVER CALLED THEM and unsubscribed from further emails. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I received another email about a rate drop, I unsubscribed again. 
Nothing after that until XXXX XXXX when I received ANOTHER " special offer '', even though I had 'unsubscribed '. 
On XXXX XXXX I received XXXX COMPLETE LOAN applications with loan disclosures and copy of my credit report in hard copy via XXXX. THIS was never requested. I XXXX notified me that my credit report was " run '' and my XXXX score had gone down, XXXX pts to just over XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified certain incorrect information that needs to be corrected immediately. Below, I detail the inaccurate information that should be removed, as well as the correct information that should be reflected in my credit report : Incorrect Information to Be Removed : - Incorrect Name ( XXXX ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - Incorrect Address ( es ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Correct Information to Be Reported : - Full Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX - Correct Date of Birth : XX/XX/year> - Correct Social Security Number : XXXX - Correct Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I request that you correct this information promptly, as these errors may harm my credit history and misrepresent my identity, potentially linking me to fraudulent activities. Additionally, I ask that all phone numbers listed on my credit report be deleted, as I have been a victim of unsolicited robocalls. 

I have obtained clear evidence that XXXX XXXX, along with major credit agencies such as XXXX and XXXX, have successfully removed this information from their records. This demonstrates that these agencies recognized the inaccuracies in the data and acted accordingly, further supporting my claim that the information in question should not have been included on my credit report in the first place. This removal serves as a strong basis for my dispute and validates the corrections I've requested. 

Please also be advised that I have formally opted out of any binding arbitration agreements with your company and am prepared to exercise my legal rights if necessary. 

Under Section 611 of the **Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) **, I am requesting the removal of any inaccurate or negative information from my credit report. I expect to receive an updated report reflecting these corrections within 30 days, as required by law.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information

4. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information.

Requested Resolution : I request that EXPERIAN conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. I ask that all such entries be updated to reflect my true payment history of XXXX % on-time payments.
