Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX threatening to take me to civil court for a payday loan that I never applied for nor did I receive. The company is in California and I am in Texas. I know this does not belong to me because up until recently I had my credit locked since XX/XX/year> due to identity theft. The letter also states that they reserve the right to subpoena my parents and claiming I listed them as references. My parents do not support me financially nor would they agree to this. This company also listed my credit score on the letter which is an even more cause for concern as I never authorized this company to pull my credit. I have already reviewed my personal accounts with all 3 credit bureaus and this loan has never been on it. I am starting to believe this might be a scam.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Experian for reporting fraudulent accounts and inquiries on my credit report. Despite my previous attempts to resolve this matter directly with Experian, they have failed to correct the inaccuracies. Specifically, my credit report contains several accounts and inquiries that I did not authorize. These fraudulent items are severely impacting my credit score and overall financial standing. I have provided Experian with the necessary documentation, including an identity theft report, yet they have not removed the fraudulent entries. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene to ensure that Experian promptly investigates and removes these fraudulent accounts and inquiries from my credit report. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
About a year ago, XXXX Citi card gave me a promotional offer to increase my points. I didn't realize that by agreeing to the offer, I was enrolled in a paperless statement system. 
I didn't see the statements in my email box so I called the company to request that they resume sending paper statements. Instead, they mailed me old copies of previous months statements. They did NOT restart sending paper statements. 

I put this card away because the communication with them was TERRIBLE. ( Hold/wait times, talking to people in XXXX with very bad connections and only marginal skills in XXXX. ) I finally gave up. I called and paid whatever the balance was that they said that I owed. ON THE SAME DAY, I closed this account. 

Most recently, they started sending more " past due balance '' emails BUT NO STATEMENT. I called once again to tell them that I had paid the bill in full and closed the account. AGAIN, I spent XXXX minutes on the phone with XXXX people. They had to transfer me XXXX times to a " supervisor. '' Multiple times I tried to explain the reason that I did not feel that I owed them anything else and that I wasn't going to pay any " late fees '' that were assessed AFTER I had closed the account. Multiple times I told the agent that I could barely hear him because of the terrible connection. The combination of bad XXXX and terrible connection left me completely frustrated. I told him VERY clearly that I would not pay this balance and that I wanted to appeal their charges. He could not ( or would not ) try to understand my explanation.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request. 

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Furthermore, under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report, and the credit reporting agencies are required to investigate and correct any inaccuracies within 30 days. Given the unauthorized nature of these inquiries, I demand their immediate removal from my credit report.
