Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> was the 4th time this happened where someone hacked my online account for Macys. There was email sent to me that my information was changed in my online account. I called the credit company and all they wanted to do was make me make a new account and close my credit card. I asked to have all my information on my account changed back to what is mine and they said I need to make a new profile. I think looked into my online account and see the persons phone number, address, and name. I asked what they do and was told they close the card and make a new profile. I asked to have my account closed because I feel they don't do the job they should do protect their customers information. I have the persons information but not sure where I can report that or if you can get the information from me and report it. I have made a complaint on Macys website and the customer service members made one.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation of Disputes and Address 1099-C Non-Issuance by Collection Agency I am filing this complaint against, Transunion, for two significant violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : 1. Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation of Disputed Information : On XX/XX/year>, I filed a dispute with TransUnion regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. I explicitly requested a manual review of the disputed information due to its complexity. I provided clear supporting evidence, including highlighted copies of my credit report identifying the errors. However, XXXX used the E-Oscar system to process my dispute electronically rather than conducting the manual review I requested. This process fails to ensure a thorough investigation, as required under the FCRA. 
The response I received was vague and did not provide sufficient detail regarding the methods, sources, or procedures used to verify the disputed information. My specific questions about the investigation process remain unanswered.

2. Failure to Address 1099-C Non-Issuance by a Collection Agency : 3. Despite my dispute, XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion continue to report this collection account without verifying its validity or requiring the collection agency to issue a 1099-C. This raises questions about the legitimacy of the debt and violates federal regulations. 
Account Name Account Number XXXX XXXX XXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Key Violations : 1. Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation : o XXXX violated 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) by failing to conduct a manual review of my dispute as explicitly requested. o The use of E-Oscar resulted in an inadequate and incomple
te investigation.

2. Failure to Provide Details of Investigation : o XXXX failed to provide the methods, sources, and documentation used in their investigation, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 4 ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ).

3. Inaccurate Reporting and Failure to Address 1099-C Non-Issuance : o XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion continue to report inaccurate information, violating my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ).

o The collection agencys failure to issue a 1099-C for canceled or forgiven debt violates IRS regulations and raises concerns about the accounts validity.
