Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized hard inquiries that I recently identified on my credit report. Upon review, I found several inquiries for which the creditors listed have failed to provide verifiable proof of my authorization. They have not produced any written authorization, permissible purpose, or evidence of initiation by me, either verbal or written.

Pursuant to Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681b, consumer reports may only be accessed under specific circumstances with a legitimate business need in connection with a transaction initiated by the consumer. Furthermore, under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), federal law requires you to verify these inquiries by providing physical evidence, such as the original signed consumer contract.

Additionally, Section 611 ( a ) of the FCRA mandates that inaccurate or unverifiable information must be promptly deleted following a reinvestigation. I demand that these inquiries be deleted immediately, as they can not be verified and negatively affect my ability to obtain credit.

The following unauthorized inquiries must be verified or removed without delay XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired XXXX XX/XX/year>. 
XXXX XXXX  Inquired on XX/XX/year>.

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

I went directly to XXXX and the XXXX and both provided me with credit scores. I have attached them below. 

It is my understanding that all 3 credit reports should be reporting the same information. If the same information is reported then Experian should be able to generate a credit score. My credit score is being suppressed purposely.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I set up a freeze with Experian to protect me from fraudulent requests for credit as I was recently a victim of fraud. I set up my account with Experian and later needed to change my phone number. I tried to update my information and also unfreeze my account. However, there is no way to speak to a person. All the information from the company tries to use my " old '' number which I don't have and was trying to update in the first place. At this point I am unable to get a loan which I needed AND there is no way to work with the company as there is no humans to talk to. XXXX and XXXX was able to get me to a person and resolved my issues within minutes. I've tried 5 different phone numbers and the machine always goes back to requiring me to use the phone number that is no longer available. This could be resolved quickly if they only had people to talk to.
