Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion has reported negative information on my credit file without my consent or authorization. I have never signed any application permitting this agency to report such information. I have requested proof, including a signed application or contract along with my valid drivers license, but neither TransUnion nor the reporting agency has provided this documentation. This raises serious concerns about TransUnions compliance with FCRA regulations, which require a permissible purpose for accessing and reporting consumer credit information. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX The unauthorized reporting has negatively impacted my credit score and financial standing, causing significant hardship. I have not granted them the authority to access or report any information about me under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Their failure to comply with these legal requirements has caused undue harm to my credit standing. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take immediate action to have this derogatory information removed from my credit report. I have repeatedly communicated my concerns to TransUnion, including sending notarized documents via first-class mail regarding these fraudulent credit card accounts, which were never authorized. Despite this, TransUnion continues to badger, bully, and psychologically harass me. I need verifiable proof that these credit transactions were initiated by me, as well as proof of identity to confirm who applied for these frivolous debts.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
The credit bureaus violate 15 USC 1681 by sharing and reporting my private information and that information is not validated and is wrong. I asked all 3 major bureaus with a certified letter to validate the bankruptcy on my report and to do so within 30 days of receipt of the letter and they did not comply nor did they remove the inaccurate information. Here is exactly what I requested in the certified letter when I requested that they verify the accuracy of the bankruptcy found on my report : ( method of verification under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). This should include the following : 1. The name of the courthouse with which you verified the information 2. The name of the person at the courthouse who handled your request 3. The address of the courthouse 4. Which document you obtained to verify the bankruptcy ). It was also requested that this information be removed if they could not validate it within 30 days. They have not given me the requested information nor have they removed the information. My information was leaked by these companies who should never have had access to, shared, or used incorrect information to gauge my credit worthiness. This is a HUGE violation of my rights.

On XXXX XXXX I went to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquiring on a vehicle. They were supposed to run a soft inquiry on my credit report but instead ran a hard inquiry and shopped me around to other banks to find me the best deal. Ally Financial, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX also ran a hard inquiry. I contacted XXXX who told me to get a letter from the dealership and the other XXXX banks. I got a letter from the dealership but when I contacted Ally, XXXX and XXXX they said they can not provide me with those letters but they are also confused as to why it was ran as a hard inquiry on there behalfs too but it should have been a soft inquiry and that the dealership should write a letter that includes all three of the banks. I contacted XXXX and they told me that they can accept the letter from only the dealership to take off only there inquiry and I still need a letter from each of the other XXXX banks ( Ally, XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I contacted all XXXX banks again and they said they can not write those letters. I contacted XXXX again and they told me to contact CFPB and possibly can get help. Thank you
