Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
My TransUnion credit score has been reduced by XXXX points with no justifiable cause. On XX/XX/year>, I contacted TransUnion directly to ascertain the cause of the credit change ( that happened over the course of 1 day ). The agent I spoke with, confirmed there had not been any changes to my credit history that would warrant such a drastic change. That agent stated my file would be researched and someone would contact me directly. What is most disturbing is that : 1. My score went from XXXX to XXXX over 1 calendar day ( I check my credit numbers daily, as I am looking to purchase a property ).

2. This score does not correlate with the credit score of XXXX.

3. TransUnion can not provide reasoning for the reduction.

State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I agreed to a voluntary repayment plan with the Military Star Card on XX/XX/XXXX ( see attached ). As instructed by their customer service representative, since I received the letter late, I signed the repayment agreement and emailed it to the provided address. Despite following their instructions and submitting the agreement timely, my account was placed into collections without any acknowledgment or processing of my agreement. 

I filed an initial CFPB complaint regarding this issue ( COMPLAINT ID XXXX ). After that complaint, the company finally acknowledged receipt of my voluntary repayment agreement on XX/XX/XXXX however, this acknowledgment only came after they had already placed my account into collections, causing damage to my credit profile. 

I subsequently sent a certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX ( see proof attached ) and they received it on XX/XX/XXXX, which is now well over 30 days ago demanding the company correct the situation by : ( 1 ) removing the account from collections, ( 2 ) removing all late payment notations, ( 3 ) ceasing all negative reporting. 


I made it clear that upon correction, I was willing to resume payments. 

Despite receiving my certified letter ( proof attached ), the company has failed to respond. They have also continued reporting the account negatively, added additional interest to the balance, and have not removed the late payments or corrected the collections status. 

This conduct is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) as they are knowingly reporting inaccurate and disputed information. 

Given their multiple violations, failure to correct after formal notice, and continued harm to my credit standing, I am requesting full removal of this account from my credit reports, not merely correction.

Complaint narrative:
There is a collection on my account from XXXX XXXX that does not belong to me. According to the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ( a ) [ 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ], these disputed items must be investigated or deleted from my credit record within 30 days.

I have contacted the Federal Trade Commission and filed a police report. I am demanding that you remove all inaccurate accounts from my credit profile in the next five ( 5 ) days or I will have no other recourse but to file an injunction against your agency under 617a1 which makes you financially liable for each inaccurate account. Also, under 616 Section A is liability for willful non-compliance, your agency has yet to respond to my questions and statements of the Law. 

AFFIDAVITS OF LAW 1. Are you the original creditor?

2. Have you given the debtor the opportunity to review the original contract?

3. Have you validated the home address for the debtor?

4. Have you complied with all FRCA, FDCP and FDCPA laws?

5. Have you reported to the consumer who has reviewed the original contract information with his/her original signature? 
6. Have you provided the names of all creditors that have provided the names and addresses of the person who has reviewed consumer relations? 

If the above has not been completed, please Delete this account from my credit report and stop all contact with me. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 805., you are hereby notified to CEASE AND DESIST all further communication with me regarding the referenced debt. Failure to abide by this law will result in a complaint being filed against you with the Federal Trade Commission, the Attorney General of both your state and mine, and also your company management. I also have the right to file suit against you for any future violations of this law.
