Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Company: LJ Ross Associates
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from an L.J. Ross & Associates. At the time of the call, an agent informed me of a debt that was reported to have been mine. 

During this call verification of debt was requested of L.J. Ross & Associates, and I provided my new address as of XX/XX/XXXX, along with my email address to have the verification documents provided to me, as I wanted something documented to ; ( 1 ) .Clearly explain the debt/amount. ( 2 ). Verify that L.J. Ross was a legitimate collections agency before agreeing to repayment/settlement and providing my payment information. 

After months I received another call from L.J Ross & Associates on XX/XX/XXXX, pertaining to this same issue, and I informed the phone assoicate of my prior request of verification document. The associate was again provided with my physical.mailing address and email address and she infomred me that the information had not been entered in there system previously? 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an emailed alert from my Credit Union informing me that that there had been a change to my report that could have a negative impact on my credit score, so I logged in to the credit monitoring app to find that L.J.Ross and Associates placed a collections on my report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted L.J.Ross and Associates with the contact information listed on the collection entry of my credit report and ultimately requested to speak with a supervisor because the associate that I was connected to was very rude and unprofessional. Upon being connected to a supervisor the communication worstened and the supervisor ignored my concern that the agency did not follow the law and provide me with some documentation that confirmed this debt and confirmed that the attempt to collect my payment information were all legit, he just bantered with me and there no no resolve met with this agency in explaing how/why they placed a collections on my report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a verification of debt and a letter verifying collections from L. J Ross & Associate, after they failed to negatively impacted my credit and failed to uphold consumer reporting laws.
