Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I have received a bill from TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS about an outstanding debt of {$66.00} that they are trying to collect on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the outdated name for XXXX ). 

I recently moved across the country, so if XXXX sent me a bill I did not get it. I certainly do not have anything by email. 

If I had to guess, somehow my information was roped into a shipment for my previous employer. They were fully remote, and needed me to ship company goods back to them after I was no longer employed. They gave me the label, I arrived at a local XXXX  office, and, after a phone call to give the company card and account information, we verify the order, and that was that. 

Now somehow there is an outstanding bill in my name. Maybe. Because in trying to contact XXXX  to verify, you need to have an account number or else they literally hang up on you. So I look up what my account number is, and of course I don't even have XXXX, because I have never shipped with XXXX, to my knowledge. 

So now I have a bill that I don't owe that I can't even get any information about. This seems like a dangerous error that can harm my credit, or a full on impersonation scam. Again, neither TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC or XXXX XXXX XXXX  or XXXX  have done anything to actually verify the debt/bill with me.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  for the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account ( s ) as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " XXXX  days past due '' delinquency. XXXX  is reporting " Paid account/was XXXX  days past due '' with a " XXXX delinquent '' status. TransUnion is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for all accounts. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of these accounts be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( CRA ), particularly Section 611, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter.

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Initiated complaint with this authority under XXXX. 

Transunion stated that a letter was sent to me explaining the nature of unauthorized inquiries. There were no results of an investigation, only a suggestion that I investigate my own dispute by contacting the entities who were illegally given access to my consumer file. 

I repeatedly explained to Transunion that the inquiries were not authorized, and requested that they follow procedures outlined in the FCRA 611 to investigate and furnish me with legally required disclosure documents relating to the investigation. Transunion ignored my requests violating FCRA 609, 611.

FCRA 611 clearly states : the consumer reporting " agency, shall, free of charge conduct a reasonable investigation to determine whether the disputed investigation is accurate. '' Transunion did not investigate. The did not reinvestigate my dispute request. 

Transunion did not carry out a Federally required responsibility and has allowed potential fraudsters to access my report with impunity.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address an issue concerning the reporting of my account to the major credit reporting agencies. I entered into a loan agreement with XXXX XXXX. A tradeline reflecting this account was added to my credit reports shortly thereafter. On, my first payment was reported to the credit bureaus. However, since that date, no subsequent payments or updated balances have been reported. This lack of accurate and complete reporting has negatively impacted my credit scores and does not reflect my current payment history or account status. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires that information furnished to consumer reporting agencies be complete and accurate. The withholding of payment and balance histories constitutes a violation of this obligation. Accordingly, I respectfully request that XXXX XXXX immediately update my account information with the credit reporting agencies to accurately reflect my full payment and balance history.
