Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion suddenly added XXXX ancient derogatories to my credit report -- XXXX! With XXXX update. Prior to that, TransUnion showed I had XXXX derogatories. And all of these " new '' derogatories are years old -- not new, there are multiple repeats, AND they 're items that had already dropped off my credit report ( they 're just under the name of new collection agencies ). It makes it hopeless. I have 0 % debt today, I am 100 percent on-time with my bill paying and only had medical debts to begin with, and that because I was hit by a driver with horrible insurance and spent the last 7 years having XXXX after XXXX I had to pay for out of pocket. Before that I had a high credit score, owned my own house. There is no American Dream -- or hope of avoiding today 's monstrously greedy landlords when we 're trapped and unable to buy a home and control our monthly housing costs because of these horribly inaccurate bureaus that everyone gives such power -- even though everyone knows how wrong their information is. A banker told me that it wo n't be long before they 're abandoned by mortgage lenders, etc. who know a credit score today is pretty much useless in determining someone 's credit worthiness but the computer program makes them enter the number. For now. But in the meantime, their carelessness damns anyone who falls victim to an unlucky event as much as any debtor 's prison did. There is no way out.

Also i have filed Chapter XXXX bankruptcy, the continue to add the debts listed in bankruptcy for discharged that they are open and listed in collections, and no included in my chapter XXXX bankruptcy. The creditors are listed in my court documentation, and some where foward over to collections agency but that debt is still listed for amount, and creditor. They ask for proof of Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy, I filed, and I forward this my email, and certified letter, they said that even though my creditors are listed, as for disharged that is not proof and that they can keep listing incorrect debt as in collections even though they are listed in my Chapter XXXX bankruptcy is should state on my credit report as ( included in XXXX. ) I tired of trying to get my credit file disputed, call forward the forms they want and they still refuse to update credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I recently got laid off from my job. 
I went online to get information to file for my unemployment benefits with California XXXX. 
On XXXX the first link had the California edd.gov so I clicked on what I thought was the right link. It had the XXXX screen so I began going through the process when a window popped up requesting I fill out a form for my credit report. I thought it a bit strange but that maybe this was a new process for unemployment! As I continued filling this information out and providing my bank information I realized that this was most certainly NOT correct so I closed out the screen and found the right link. 
Unbeknownst to me I signed up for a Transunion monthly report!! When I saw the fee debited against my bank account I called Transunion. They cancelled my subscription but refused to refund my {$19.00}. I want this company to refund me my money. They are preying on people by putting up a phony link to the XXXX! 
The date that I mistakenly signed up was XXXX/XXXX/2016 and the charge was taken out on XXXX/XXXX/2016, I do hope you can recover this for me as being unemployed every penny counts plus this is a consumer fraud. The link was intentionally put there to look like the official California XXXX link. Buyers beware ... ... .Very upsetting

Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
AD Astra Recovery service is on my credit report. I did a request for verification of a XXXX loan that was taken out without my consent. I have attached a loan that was attempted on my Daugther 's SSN also. During the Summer I did attempt to start business funding. My information was given to third parties. 

I did have phone contact with AD Astra Recovery. I did state I had a POA. The phone call was aggressive and not consumer friendly. If I say one thing a phone call should end. The probing and questions. I do have a POA in place due to my information was given out. I have had fraud on my bank accounts and have been through harassing or " scam '' calls since this started since XX/XX/XXXX. 

I did receive an email from XXXX for an email for a XXXX loan approval rating. I never received a phone call to verify any information. I used my email address. I do n't see the -signature. Also, I went back to research XXXX. I I do have an illegal credit check on XXXX Report from XXXX. I never authorised this credit check with XXXX. 

I have read many complaints about Astria Recovery and XXXX. I ca n't find they are invested with each other. Astra Recovery Systems and XXXX do not help the debt consumer but keep them in debt by getting more loans or using the credit check to initiate on credit reports to force payments. I have read numerous accounts of they will take negative reports if paid today. 

A collection was placed on my account last week. A man name XXXX ( the wrong name is given in the previous complaint ) XXXX SEM scheduling called my home. He did give out Recovery Service was going to my home to serve me. Who will be my lawyer in XXXX TX. 

I drew up a legal notice to AdAstria. I told them in the letter that I will advise my attorney. XXXX is my attorney. In that letter, I never released his address, phone number, TX law license number. I never stated to cease to talk to me. Talk to my lawyer. AdAstria had no permission to contact or send any packages to my lawyer. 

My attorney called me XX/XX/XXXX and told me that AdAstria did get in contact with him to verify him as my lawyer. AdAstria had to find a XXXX ( my attorney ) to probe without my consent. That is violating my privacy and my attorney 's client relationship.

Complaint narrative:
On or around XXXX 2014 in an effort to open a new credit line I was informed that the creditor was unable to open my request. In an effort to find out what was going on I contacted all XXXX major credit bureaus and I was informed that and became aware of several entries including various inquires which were never authorized. Upon receiving this information I contacted the source directly only to be told they had no information and to submit my dispute in writing as well as contact law enforcement. As requested I did all of the following and was provided several months later a copy of the report to provide to both the sources as well as the credit reporting agencies. After several months of going back in forth I received notification that they verified the account as accurate and refused to use law enforcement 's report. Since that time I have continued my efforts only to be ignored and to date they have refused to supply me with a complete outline of the verification process they have conducted.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a certified letter to transunion over 45 days ago requesting verification of late payments and collection accounts. I informed them to send me documents that they have in their file as of date to verify the accuracy. Under the fair reporting act ,15 U.S.C 1681g, I have the right to demand all documents retained in their file. NO copies were ever sent. This is a violation of Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ). They did not mail evidence of the accuracy of my accounts on file within the 30 days. Unde the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i all unverified accounts must be deleted promptly. No copies of the verified information on file was sent to me in the 45 day period. Thats a violation of my rights. Just mailing a letter stating verified is not enough. I needed documents mailed to me from the files of all the late accounts or collection accounts. None were ever sent. Now I am demanding all account that are negative or in collections removed due to no verification documentation was mailed to me. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
No documentation was mailed to me that was in your file. The 45 day period has expired and by law these accounts must be deleted. Just sending a letter stating verified is not enough. I requested documentation. I did not received a single documentation. This is a violation of my rights, I have consulted with an attorney. If documents ( proof of account being late, letters you have from creditor, proof that these are indeed my account, and balance owed on all accounts ) you have in your file are not mailed to me immediately, I will have to persue further action.

Complaint narrative:
After creating an account at XXXX 's website I noticed on my trans unioncredit report that I have a civil judgement against me. I disputed the judgementagainst me on the trans union website and after 30 days had passed, trans union sends me an e mail saying that the investigation of my complaintresults in my civil judgement being valid by the law firm who sued. 
I discovered yesterday from getting court copies of this lawsuit that this is acase of mistaken identity. I am not disputing that the civil judgement is notvalid, what my dispute was about is that they have the wrong person. Thiscivil judgement is about someone else not me and should not be showing onmy credit history at all. Trans union I feel did n't do their job by removing thisoff of my credit history. This civil judgement clearly is valid but I am not theperson. They have me mistaken for someone else and I want this removedfrom my credit file. I have all the proof to show I am not the person in the civiljudgement and I am prepared to show what ever documents that 's needed so Ican finally get this judgement removed from my credit history.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I leased a vehicle from ALLY, paying all payments on time. In turning it in, ALLY lost the vehicle for several months. It sent me a final invoice that included rent for the months that the vehicle was lost, excess wear, mileage and excess taxes that ALLY paid incorrectly. I disputed the charges but ALLY could not provide back-up evidence, including the odometer statement showing mileage on surrender of the vehicle. Instead, collection calls immediately started-night and day. I discussed settlement of the invoice and I was told that would be possible. I sent an Accord and Satisfaction with a check that was immediately cashed, but aggressive and illegal collections resumed, including reporting to the XXXX credit bureaus. I called the ALLY CEO and General Counsel, but they will not return my calls. I sent them a letter advising that the company was violating consumer protection laws. I copied the executive compliance officer. The amounts due are inaccurate and collections violate the Accord and Satisfaction accepted by ALLY. One of the terms of the agreement was that I would retain a positive credit rating. The vehicle was turned in properly and all payments were made. ALLY is violating the terms of our agreement and State and Federal Consumer Protection laws. These intentional violations are a result of a " tone from the top '' of the executive leadership, including the CEO, General Counsel and Compliance Officer.

State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This is my third letter to them in regards to accounts listed on my credit report with their organization that are the result of identity theft and they have failed to process my disputes pursuant to section 605B of the FCRA. They continue to send me letters stating that I am not providing the proper identification, and yet I have sent my driver 's license, tax forms, proof of address, police report, FTC affidavit and statement of identity theft with each letter. You sent a letter stating that you are declining to process my disputes as identity theft because you believe them to be either in error or because I received goods or money in exchange for this. I have submitted a complaint with the CFPB in regards to that as well as their continued failure to process my disputes, send me credit reports or provide me with further assistance as required under the FCRA. *I have never claimed identity theft in the past, and I have provided all required documentation. 
When I take them to court they will need to explain why they did not process my disputes and the only reason they will have is that one of their processors did not have the time or energy to investigate my accounts and took the easy route and sent me that notification. 
They have violated my rights under said section and I have no problems seeking the damages available to me. Not only did every letter get sent certified, but they were also faxed and received by them. I have the proof that these were received and that the required documents were sent with said letters.
