Consumer complaint received 2025-07-18 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Credit Control, LLC
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt that Credit Control , LLC is attempting to collect. I have submitted written requests asking for full debt validation, including the original creditor 's name, the exact balance, and proof that Credit Control , LLC is legally authorized to collect debts in the state of Mississippi. 

Despite my requests, the company has failed to provide proper validation or proof of licensing. I searched the Mississippi XXXX of XXXX  business registry and confirmed that Credit Control , LLC is not registered to conduct business in Mississippi. Debt collection agencies must be registered or licensed in the state to legally collect debts. 

They continue to pursue this alleged debt without proper documentation or authorization, which may be a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I request that Credit Control , LLC immediately cease all collection activities and provide written confirmation that the matter is resolved unless and until they can fully validate the debt and provide legal proof they are authorized to collect in my state.

Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Hello. 
Ive been a loyal Capital One customer for over XXXX  years, and until recently, Ive never had an issue with my account. However, due to an oversight, I missed two payments related to membership fee on a card I rarely use ( {$36.00} total ). Because I wasnt using the card anymore, and I honestly just blanked and forgot about the membership fee. I had a lot of personal things going on and it truly slipped my mind. As soon as I became aware, I paid the full balance and set up automatic payments to ensure this never happens again.

This {$36.00} mistake has caused my credit score to drop over XXXX points, which is a devastating drop. They also reduced my credit limit, further hurting my utilization ratio and score. 

I contacted Capital One multiple times and was given conflicting information depending on which representative I spoke with. Some seemed unaware of any goodwill policy, while others said they werent allowed to process it. One assured me I wouldnt need a goodwill request to fix since the issue was fees. Ultimately, I was denied a goodwill adjustment without any explanation beyond you do not meet the criteria. I was never told what those criteria are, nor was I given the opportunity to have my case fairly reviewed.

I understand Capital Ones obligation to report accurate information, but this is clearly a situation where compassion, context, and customer loyalty should be taken into account. The response from Capital One has been rigid, impersonal, and disproportionately harsh for a small, corrected oversight from a long-time customer with an otherwise solid record. I do take responsibility for my mistake and Ive made every attempt to correct it. 

I am simply asking Capital One to remove the late payments from my credit report as a goodwill adjustment. Ive corrected the issue, shown continued good faith, and have never had a single major problem in the last decade. This one incident should not define my entire credit history, especially when Ive taken responsibility and implemented safeguards to prevent recurrence. 

Thank you.

Company: TomoCredit Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a membership with TomoCredit based on their promise of providing a tradeline that would be reported to credit bureaus. However, since signing up, I have never received any updates, confirmations, or evidence of this promised tradeline being established or reported to any credit bureau. 

I have not been provided with any email communication or account updates regarding the status of this tradeline, despite the membership being active. This constitutes a failure to deliver on a fundamental service promise that was the basis for my membership. 

Furthermore, I have attempted to cancel my membership and remove my card information from their website, but they make it impossible to do so, raising concerns about their business practices and the security of my financial data. 

Given the complete lack of updates or evidence regarding the promised tradeline, the inability to manage my account or cancel my membership, and the inability to remove my card information, I believe TomoCredit has engaged in deceptive practices.
