Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep frustration and serious concerns regarding the accuracy of my personal information on file with your esteemed institution. While reviewing my credit report, I was appalled to discover discrepancies that have raised significant doubts about the completeness and accuracy of my records. Specifically, there are inconsistencies in my identification, Social Security number, and proof of address, all of which I have enclosed within this correspondence for your comprehensive examination. I respectfully urge you to thoroughly investigate this issue and promptly take the necessary steps to rectify any inaccuracies and update my personal information accurately and expeditiously. Your cooperation and assistance in this matter are crucial to maintaining my faith and trust in your institution. 

My data was affected by the XXXX data breach, resulting in numerous fraudulent items appearing on my credit report that I do not recognize. As these claims remain unproven and undocumented, they can not be assumed valid nor compliantly reported. I request evidence of your adherence to applicable compliance standards for this particular account. Furthermore, I must insist on the immediate deletion of these unsubstantiated claims. This matter is currently under investigation by the FTC.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I underwent hand XXXX performed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. On the morning of the XXXX, I was told I had to pay {$940.00} in case my insurance would not cover the full amount. I received a single page receipt of this payment at the time, but I have never received a proper billing statement or statement of account which reflects this payment. I have submitted this one-page receipt three times through the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, via the billing message function. The replies that I get back are nonsensical. 

XXXX XXXX  charged a total of {$3400.00} for the XXXX. The entire amount ( not reflecting my payment of {$940.00} ) was sent to my XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX reimbursed XXXX XXXXXXXX in two payments : {$590.00} and {$2400.00}. Including my payment of {$940.00}, XXXX XXXXXXXX has over-collected for the XXXX. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX, however, pretends the {$940.00} payment was not made, or not made to the XXXX XXXX Department ( but this is the only XXXX XXXXXXXX department that has sent me any billing statement in relation to the XXXX of XX/XX/year>. ) They refuse to look at my uploaded receipts. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX claims I owe an additional {$330.00} and they sent this debt to collection agency Harris & Harris in XXXX. Within days of receiving a notice from Harris & Harris, I sent a written letter disputing the charge. Harris & Harris 's reference numbers are XXXX & XXXX. I provided the receipt for my payment of {$940.00} in my reply letter. The letter was sent by XXXX, tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Subsequent to sending my letter, by XXXX, disputing the amount in writing and asking Harris & Harris to investigate, this collection agency reported the debt ( against the Fair Credit Reporting Act law ) to credit agencies. Today I was notified that my XXXX score has declined because of an upaid bill. There is no other bill that I have not paid that I am aware of. My XXXX score was recently XXXX and now it is XXXX. My understanding of the law is that if the collection letter is disputed in writing within 30 days ( and it was ), the collection agency MUST investigate and provide proof of the debt amount before sending any information to the big three credit rating agencies.

Harris & Harris has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Today, I received an unwanted text message on my personal cell phone from Harris & Harris. I was instructed to call XXXX XXXX at XXXX. I texted STOP back on XX/XX/year>.
