Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
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. 
This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year> I discovered accounts reporting on my credit reports that I never opened. I do not recognize any of the account information. And I never engaged in any business with the companies named on the accounts. The credit reporting agencies, Trans Union, XXXX, and XXXX have a duty to ensure that they are reporting fair and accurate information but they have failed to do so. How can a credit reporting agency be handling private financial information and make a mistake like this? Since then my credit standing and reputation is being damaged more and more daily. I am seeking redress and equitable relief for the fraudulent account information to be deleted from my credit report within 4 days from the receipt of my notice of dispute. The fraudulent accounts are : XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX. I have attached my appropriate identification, proof of my real address, an identity theft notice, and an identity theft report through the Federal Trade Commission.

Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
O recently was given a {$300.00} credit increase for paying on time and being responsible with my credit. 
I made XXXX payments on this card in XXXX and then another on XX/XX/XXXX which was significantly higher than the minimum due on XX/XX/XXXX. 
I received a notice that my account was past due so I pulled up my account through the Continental Finance XXXX and noticed a {$45.00} fee for the increase which they charge XXXX XXXX which is not very ethical as it only shows that in very small print on the bottom of your statement so I can not dispute that but think it is a very underhanded way to do business. 

When I called to find out why I was charged a late feel as well as was reported to credit bureau for being late, I was told that there was no way to get the late fee reversed nor would they correct the inaccurate late payment reported to the credit bureaus. 

I made the XXXX payments in XXXX and the next payment on XX/XX/XXXX that was not due until the XXXX. I thought that was a good thing but CF explained that their billing cycle for XXXX closed on XX/XX/XXXX and since I made my payment on XXXX, they applied it the XXXX billing cycle so they are harassing me with late fees and notifications even after I spoke with them about my intent to file this complaint and the rep said she would notate the account. In less than XXXX hours, I have received a text about this payment being late, an email and phone call. 

Lastly, I am on XXXX XXXX currently but I have credit protection on XXXX of my XXXX cards issued by them so they will not consider that for fees on this card.
