Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I received the results of a re-investigation of a public record on my Transunion Credit report. The re-investigation is reporting a XXXX  XXXX Bankruptcy as 100 % accurate. I have requested the credit bureau investigate the legal name, address, birth date and full social security number of the debt that is reporting as the debt is being report fraudulently. On XX/XX/2023, I called Transunion 's dispute line and spoke with XXXX who refused to tell me the method of the verification of this debt. I asked if it was a third-party and if so, if he can give me the details so that I may contact them. XXXX told me the public record is solely verified through the US Bankruptcy Court. I was given the phone number XXXX to call and challenge the record. The court system has verified that they did not and do not verify any information with the credit bureau. Therefore, a full investigation of my legal name, full social security number, birthdate and legal address could not be fully confirmed according to 15 USC 1681. 

My rights to privacy are clearly being violated. 15 USC 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) States ; The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 

They have violated my rights numerous times. 

Transunion has violated my given rights under 15 USC 1681.

According to : 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

According to : 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Equifax I have contacted the furnisher who placed these inaccurate inquiries on my credit report. I asked them to provide me with proof that I gave them authorization to pull my credit report. As of today, they have not provided with the proof that is required. Because of that they had no permissible permission to pull my credit reports. 

After researching on the internet, it states a company needs authorization to pull a consumers credit report. This company did not have that authorization. They have violated the law, and I will hold them accountable. Because of their violations, Im asking your company to follow the law and delete these unauthorized inquiries Here are the inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Furnisher comments on my report are inaccurate. Please contact the creditor and have them fix this. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Furnisher comments on my report are inaccurate. Please contact the creditor and have them fix this. 

30 days should be enough time for you to complete your investigation on this matter. Also, once you have finished your investigation, please supply me with a full credit report and not a partial one. Im tracking all letters sent and received from you. If these inquiries are not deleted, then I press forward with complaints to the Attorney Generals Office and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 

Good day.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the handling of my credit report and the multiple, unsuccessful attempts to correct inaccurate information related to late open account, and removal of the charge-offs, and late closed accounts. It has come to my attention that despite repeated efforts, these issues persist on my credit report, adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial standing. 

On multiple occasions, I have submitted requests to correct inaccuracies related to late open accounts on my credit report. However, these corrections have not been reflected, and the incorrect information remains, impacting my credit score negatively. 

I have also noticed inaccuracies regarding charge-offs on my credit report. Despite providing documentation to support the resolution of these accounts, the charge-off status persists, and I have observed no improvement in the reporting. 

Furthermore, attempts to rectify inaccuracies regarding late closed accounts have been unsuccessful. The persistence of this misinformation is not only frustrating but also detrimental to my financial standing. 

I kindly request a thorough and immediate investigation into these matters. Additionally, I expect timely updates on the progress of the investigation, including any actions taken to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

To aid in your investigation, I have attached supporting documentation. I am asking for your assistance to correct these late open account and remove the charge off and late closed in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} - I see things may be inaccurate. Start looking at the account name, opening date, and high balance. I believe this information may be inaccurate. Immediate removal of this item is necessary. 

XXXX XXXX Balance : {$810.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all. You had optimal time to review this matter and make the appropriate corrections, you elected not to. Please remove this item immediately. 

XXXX XXXX Balance : {$11000.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} - I believe this account is reporting inaccurately. I do not recall ever having a legal obligation with this company nor do I believe one exists. Please provide me with verifiable proof this account belongs to me. I request a signed contract which is the ONLY LEGAL authority that stipulates an agreement. Please remove it.

Company: Mercury Technologies, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received notice of Mercury Account Closure on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX  PST. An email was received from XXXX with very limited information as to why. I went to log into my account online, and only found a splash screen stating my account status was " Pending ''. When I responded to the email at XXXX XXXX  PST requesting new information, I waited more than 12 hours and responded back again XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX PST asking to speak with someone about this situation. 

I received the same canned response back at XXXX XXXX  PST with language stating that they may not respond back if I chose to continue to reach out. I responded back at XXXX XXXX PST XX/XX/XXXX offering any assistance from our end in resolving this matter with no response. 

Mercury does not list a contact phone number on their site, and their FAQ actually lists their contact number only available upon login ( which I've been locked out of the account to even obtain that information ). 

Learning Mercury is backed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I gave them a call after the lack of support form the email exchange, and was provided a direct number to Mercury support.

I called Mercury and spoke with the first agent for nearly 30 minutes who'd mentioned she notated the ticket on the account and that the compliance team would review. She refused to provide any further information, or a human contact in the compliance department stating " all communication is via email with that team and they don't have a phone number ''. She mentioned I may call back in a couple hours to check on things, but they may not have any updates until end of day. 

I called back nearly XXXX hours later to find they had blocked my number, and I was only able to get through via blocking my number. Upon verifying my account, the agent mentioned that they would not longer be able to assist me over the phone and abruptly ended the call. 

I've kept ~ {$21000.00} in the account for the past several months with very limited activity only to pay contractors from this account. This amount comes from the original deposit of nearly {$35000.00} when the account was opened several months back, and cleared long ago. 

I've had XXXX separate accounts within Mercury, and this account has never been in question. I need these funds to pay contractors that are now overdue, and this has put my business in a very dire situation.
