Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Issue: Problem with a 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.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against TransUnion for engaging in willful non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 611 ( 1681i ), and for deploying deceptive stall tactics to obstruct the consumer dispute process. 

On XX/XX/year>, TransUnion issued a response ( XXXX XXXX : XXXX ) in which they claimed that a recent request for investigation of inaccurate credit information was not submitted directly by me or an authorized third party. This is categorically false. 

I, the consumer, submitted my dispute personally and directly using the required identifying information. There was no unauthorized third party involved. TransUnions refusal to conduct a reinvestigation is a blatant violation of my rights under FCRA 611, which mandates that a CRA must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information when the consumer notifies the agency directly.

Furthermore, TransUnions letter attempts to intimidate or dissuade consumers from using third-party resources and implies that any third-party assistance is automatically disqualified unless TransUnion receives pre-approved documentationdespite the law not requiring pre-authorization for consumer-directed disputes that include all proper identifying information. This is a stall tactic designed to suppress dispute activity and maintain negative entries on consumers ' reports without review.

TransUnion is engaging in : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) violations by refusing to investigate a consumer-initiated dispute.

FCRA 607 ( b ) violations by failing to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy.

Deceptive and unfair practices by issuing boilerplate denials and redirecting consumers to refile, thereby delaying resolution.

Obstruction of consumer rights under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 3 ) which requires deletion or correction of inaccurate information if the information can not be verified. 

Additionally, I demand that the CFPB investigate TransUnion for : Failing to provide a written explanation for their failure to conduct a reinvestigation. 

Issuing templated stall letters rather than engaging in an actual reinvestigation process as legally required. 

Misrepresenting consumers ' rights regarding third-party involvement and self-initiated disputes. 

I have attached the ID I provided, the letter I was sent from Transunion, an excerpt from one of my disputes that put them on notice in advance of this illegal stall tactic clearly stating my dispute ( s ) were, in fact, from me. This needs to stop. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I sold a used XXXX on XXXX and used my PayPal business account to receive the payment, as per the platforms requirements. This was a one-time, personal sale. I shipped the phone via XXXX and provided the tracking information ( XXXX ). The buyer received the item without any issues. 

After the sale, PayPal requested documentation, which I promptly provided, including proof of the XXXX listing and shipping details. Instead of clearing my account, they inexplicably permanently limited it. I was informed that I was a risk, but I was never given a clear explanation of the policy violation. 

Im requesting that my account be reviewed properly and my funds released, as {$730.00} of my money is being held for up to 120 days despite the transaction being legitimate.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Westlake Portfolio XXXX for reporting an alleged debt that I do not owe to the credit reporting agencies. I have no agreement, contract, or relationship with this company, and I have never authorized any account with them. 

I submitted a formal written dispute and cease & desist letter, requesting validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and demanded that Westlake Portfolio XXXX cease communication under 1692c ( c ). They failed to validate the debt but have continued to report it.

This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ), which requires that any disputed information be investigated, corrected, or deleted if it can not be verified. 

Additionally, under South Carolina law ( XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), it is an unconscionable and unlawful practice to report or attempt to collect on a debt that is known to be inaccurate or unverified.

My XXXX XXXX XXXX  were forgiven under PSLF XX/XX/XXXX. They were removed from my credit report. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the loans were added back onto my credit reports for all 3 bureaus and shows the accounts as open. The accounts were closed. There is no reason these should have been added back onto my reports as an open account! This has affected my debt to income ratio and I believe it has affected my credit score. I can not log into my XXXX account as it no longer exists due to not having loans anymore.
