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: LA

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.

This account is not mine. According to USC 1695 and FCRA along with FDCPA rights, any unauthorized and fraudulent activity must be removed and blocked from reporting to my credit reports. I have attached documentation of the letter that was sent to the furnisher on XX/XX/year>. It's been well over 30 days and I still haven't gotten a response. I'm very frustrated that fraudulent accounts that are not mine haven't been removed off my credit yet. I am demanding that this unauthorized account be removed off my credit or I will be taking legal action!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I went in to XXXX XXXX XXXX clinic for a XXXX time appointment ( I had XXXX XXXX and some XXXX XXXX XXXX  for which I paid {$200.00} on my personal credit card. They convinced me to enroll in a care credit card because they explained that thats just how they did their billing. I was under the impression that this would work like any regular credit card. After the appointment I got my labs back and everything looked fine, no need for medication or return visits. The appointment was XX/XX/year>, I have not returned and do not plan to. After the appointment my credit dropped XXXX points, and once I received the credit card in the mail with instructions to log into my account I discovered that this clinic had charged me {$5800.00} on this new credit line. I contacted synchrony CareCredit to clear this up but they just stated that I was responsible for the charge. After speaking to their fraud department they had told me that they were cancelling my account and I wont be held responsible for the charge, but today I got a notice via email that the fraud department had denied my claim and told me once again that Im responsible for the charges on the account. Again, I have never used this card or credit line. I did not know that I was signing up for a front loaded credit line and I have my own insurance and dont NEED a care credit account. I was just completely misinformed by XXXX XXXX XXXX clinics billing representative. I feel I have been deceptively enrolled in this credit line and am being forced to pay off {$5800.00} of debt for services that I have never received. Again, the visit to XXXX XXXX XXXX clinic was paid for on a separate credit card. I have never authorized any charges to the Synchrony CareCredit account. I will be submitting complaints about both Synchrony CareCredit as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX clinic. I have not been successful in contacting XXXX, I will be visiting their office in person to demand an itemized description of charges.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the accuracy and validity of an account you have reported on my credit file. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am requesting the immediate removal of this account from my credit report as you have failed to provide sufficient validation of its legitimacy.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( 3 ), if you can not verify this debt with appropriate documentation, you are legally required to notify me that the debt can not be substantiated and must be removed from my credit file.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), any unverifiable or inaccurate information must be permanently deleted and can not be reinserted into my credit report unless new certification is provided. If this account remains on my report without proper validation, it constitutes a violation of the FCRA, and I will pursue further action to enforce my rights. 

I request written confirmation that this account has been removed from all three major credit bureaus ( Experian, XXXX, and XXXX ) within 30 days of your receipt of this letter. 

Failure to comply will result in my filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney Generals office. Additionally, I will consider legal action for violations of the FCRA should you continue to report unverifiable debt. 

Please respond in writing to confirm removal.
