Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Dear Barclays De Bank ; / Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of an alleged debt from my credit report, which I believe to be fraudulent. I have no knowledge of this account and have never entered into any contractual obligations with your company or the original creditor. 
The reporting inaccuracies concerning this account violate both FCRA and FDCPA regulations. To resolve this matter expeditiously, I require the following documentation : 1. Evidence of your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) for handling this matter.

2. Legal basis for the collection of this debt.

3. Proof of your authorization to operate in my state.

4. Evidence of the alleged debt, including any contracts or agreements bearing my signature.

5. Complete account history, inclusive of all collection-related charges.

I am formally filing a complaint citing violations of my consumer rights under the FCRA and FDCPA. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 602 ( a ), I demand immediate cessation of all communication and collection activities related to this account. Furthermore, per 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), no account can be furnished without my written instructions.

Your actions have infringed upon my rights under several sections of the FDCPA : * 1692d : Harassment or abuse in connection with debt collection.

* 1692e : Use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations.

* 1692g ( b ) : Failure to properly disclose my rights.

* 1692f : Use of unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt.

I request the immediate deletion of this disputed account from all credit reporting agencies due to its unrecognized status and the absence of contractual obligations. Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated. Failure to comply may result in further legal action to protect my rights and interests.
