Company: Capital Management Services, LP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX  XXXX account was sold or assigned to Capital Management Services without my knowledge or consent. At the time this occurred, I was under documented medical care and facing serious financial hardship. No one from XXXX XXXX contacted me, offered any payment options, or attempted to work with me before making this transfer. Instead, my private financial information was shared with a third party, which is a direct violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 U.S.C. 6801 ) requiring financial institutions to protect nonpublic personal information and not share it without consent. 

This action also resulted in further harm to my credit report. The account was already in hardship status, yet XXXX XXXX marked it as charged off and continued reporting it to the credit bureaus. This ongoing monthly updating of a charged-off account creates the misleading impression of continued delinquency, which may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( duty to provide accurate information ) and 607 ( b ) ( duty to ensure maximum possible accuracy ). 

Additionally, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692e prohibits false or misleading representations. Transferring my account to a debt buyer without my knowledge or validation of the debts status misrepresents the nature and legal status of the debt, especially while I was under medical hardship and potentially eligible for accommodation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a formal dispute requesting the complete deletion of an account from my credit file because it is obsolete and no longer valid. I did not authorize any updates or corrections my request was strictly for the account to be removed entirely. 

The companys response stated that the account remains in good standing, which does not address or resolve my dispute. This is not the resolution I requested, as the account is outdated, has not been updated since 2023, and its continued reporting is misleading and inaccurate under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The investigation failed to correct the problem or comply with my specific deletion request. The accounts outdated status causes harm to my creditworthiness, and the companys refusal to remove it is a violation of my rights under FCRA 611.

I am requesting immediate deletion of this obsolete account from my credit report and confirmation of its permanent removal from all credit reporting agencies.
