Consumer complaint received 2025-08-28 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago, I submitted dispute letters directly to all three credit bureaus regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. These inaccuracies are clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the bureaus are legally obligated to investigate and correct them. I have received responses suggesting I am using a third-party service, which is false. I am the sole author and sender of these disputes, and I have not enlisted the help of any credit repair company or outside entity.

Complaint narrative:
paid card in full XX/XX/year>. Well within the due date. Then we get another bill for {$84.00} the next month. It was not late and well within the billing cycle which was XXXX. 

this seems unreasonable and now we see that if we pay this charge, there will be another bill next month for interest on top of interest. This is wrong to do to people. 

They don't care. Something needs to be done about this practice of overcharging people with credit card interest that keeps charging.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I initiated a wire transfer of approximately {$19000.00} from my XXXX XXXX account to my business checking account for the purpose of paying state Department of Revenue ( DOR ) taxes and avoiding penalties. 

The wire was submitted correctly, but XXXX XXXX blocked and canceled the transfer due to unspecified security reasons. My account was subsequently restricted, and the transfer was never processed. I was not notified in advance of any issue nor given an immediate opportunity to verify and release the wire. 

As a result of XXXX XXXX  actions, I was unable to timely fund my tax payment to the DOR, exposing my business to potential penalties and interest. I contacted XXXX XXXX customer service, but they only stated that the wire was blocked for security review and did not provide clear details or a written explanation. 

I am requesting : 1. A full written explanation for why the wire was blocked.

2. Confirmation that my account access will not be arbitrarily restricted in the future.

3. Assistance in providing documentation I can present to the DOR to support a penalty waiver, since the failure to transfer funds was entirely outside my control.

4. Compensation or remediation for any penalties or fees incurred as a result of this blocked transfer.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

I am seeing multiple unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit reports with XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion. I did not apply for credit with these companies, nor did I authorize these inquiries. 

These appear to be the result of identity theft or misuse of my personal information. I have already submitted a formal FTC Identity Theft Complaint regarding these inquiries and attached the FTC report for reference. Despite this, the inquiries remain on my reports and are negatively impacting my credit.
