Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
There are inaccurate and unauthorized addresses in my consumer file that have no valid reason to be reported under my name. The addresses that must be removed are XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. This violates 15 U.S.C. 1681b for lacking permissible purpose and 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) for failing to ensure maximum possible accuracy. My consumer report is also showing XXXX for my date of birth, which is incomplete and unacceptable. Please update my date of birth to XX/XX/XXXX  and update my report to show only XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, deleting all other addresses. Reporting inaccurate, outdated, or missing personal information violates 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 1681b. The presence of false addresses and missing identifying details creates unnecessary risks, including being linked to fraudulent activity, delays or denials in credit approvals, and harm to my credibility. This also violates 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o, allowing {$100.00} to {$1000.00} in damages per violation. I am requesting these updates and deletions be completed immediately. Provide written proof of the update. If Experian fails to comply, I will treat it as willful noncompliance and take all legal action allowed by law.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. 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:
As a federally protected consumer, I have a right to privacy. A huge part of the FCRA is the privacy of consumer data. My information MUST be dealt with confidentiality and with respect to my right to privacy. This consumer reporting agency is not a bureau. In fact, they are a data broker that was not given any permissible purpose by me to report these items attached. They are defaming my character with this erroneous reporting. Delete all unauthorized items listed in my attached letters and update any late payment history due to the fact that it is misleading and deceptive because I can not be late on my own extension of credit. I am the original creditor. There is no verifiable proof of any late payment! I also attached an invoice for monetary relief since this data broker violated my rights! THESE ITEMS MUST BE DELETED WITHIN 4 DAYS ACCORDING TO FEDERAL LAW!
