Consumer complaint received 2025-04-22 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law. 
I request that you promptly verify or remove the following account : XXXX - XXXX * * - Under 15 USC 1681B - Permissible purpose of consumer reports, THE LAW CLEARLY STATES : Subject to subsection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. - THIS ACCOUNT IS INACCURATE, I DID NOT INCUR ANY LATE PAYMENTS. 
PLEASE UPDATE TO PAID ON TIME Unknown - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX - This collection account violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), as it has not been properly validated ; failure to remove it will result in legal action for non-compliance with federal law. - I have no recollection of this account. Please investigate and remove from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I received a summons from the Court of Common Pleas from XXXX XXXX, Ohio regarding a lawsuit against me from the National Collegiate Student Loan Trust for a defaulted private student debt obtained in 2007 in the state of California. It is my understanding this debt is outside the statue of limitations and legally they should not be trying to collect it.

Thank YOU so much for everything you do to protect us.
