Back in 2010 when I graduated, my loans were up to {$90000.00}. I called XXXX XXXX about combining these loans due to me having to pay so many loans to different companies. They combined the loans, but after me paying for a few years they transferred my loans to XXXX  and it didnt look like I had paid anything on the loans. I had to go into deferment due to the amount of the loan being so high that I got behind. At this time I would pay after the deferment ended. And later my loan was brought out by XXXX.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request an investigation into the actions of Trans Union, which has included negative information reported by a third-party debt collection agency, XXXX XXXX, on my credit file. This occurred without my consent, as I have never signed any application or contract authorizing this agency to report such information. I have constantly requested proof of a signed application or contract, along with a copy of my valid drivers license, but neither Trans Union nor the reporting agency has provided any evidence to support their claim. This raises significant concerns regarding Trans Union 's compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically related to the permissible purposes for accessing and reporting consumer credit information. The unauthorized reporting of this derogatory information has negatively impacted my credit score and financial standing, causing undue hardship. Under the FCRA, a permissible purpose is required for any entity to access or report credit information, and I have not given any such authorization to XXXX XXXX or Trans Union. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter, ensure that Trans Union is held accountable for their failure to comply with FCRA regulations, and take the necessary actions to have the inaccurate and unauthorized information removed from my credit report immediately.
