Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of utmost importance regarding my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified several unauthorized accounts that have negatively impacted my creditworthiness. I strongly believe that these accounts are the result of identity theft and require immediate attention and resolution. 

The following are the specific accounts in question : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!!!! 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I am willing to grant you one final opportunity to process my request concerning my identity theft. Failure to do so will compel me to seek legal recourse through the judicial system. In such a scenario, you will be held accountable for the damage caused to my reputation, credit, and the emotional distress I have endured throughout this ordeal. It is highly likely that what constitutes a material fact will become abundantly clear during legal proceedings, and you may be required to compensate me for your negligence. 

I kindly request that you conduct a thorough investigation into the validity of these accounts and take the appropriate actions to remove them from my credit report as they are not the result of any legitimate transaction or credit application made by me.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I notified NFCU that I was called to XXXX XXXX and requested my two credit card and personal loan interest rates be reduced to 6 % IAW the SCRA. 

On XX/XX/XXXX NFCU confirmed that they received the request and to allow 10 days for eligibility determination and another 30 days for the action to be processed. 


On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted NFCU for a status update and the representative told me to check back in three days. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted NFCU via secure messaging and requested a status update and that I'll be launching an official complaint. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, NFCU responded " We have completed the initial review of your request and determined that you may have one or more accounts deemed eligible for Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ( SCRA ) protection. However, due to a high volume of requests for SCRA benefits, we do not have an exact estimation of when your request will be completed. All requests are processed in the order that they are received, and we are working diligently to complete your request as quickly as possible. We would like to assure you that any eligible benefits will be backdated appropriately when your accounts are processed. '' I understand that they may have a high volume of request to process, however that should not affect me or NFCU compliance with various laws. In another two weeks, it will be going on 2 months since the request was submitted. In my opinion, if NFCU is unable to handle the volume of request in a timely manner, then NFCU should contract or hire additional FTE within their compliance department to handle such request. 

As of the date of this request NFCU, still have not processed my SCRA claim for the following accounts : Credit Card XXXX ( 18.00 % ) Credit Card XXXX ( 18.00 % ) Personal Loan XXXX ( 17.75 % )

Im not paying {$1800.00} for a debt of {$920.00} that was settled with my lease insurance company. I was more confused after I hung up the call with TransWorld Systems. Im planning on taking legal action with XXXX XXXX and frankly, probably TransWorld Systems as well. Im sending the documents and letters to TransWorld systems to remind them of my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I have notified Equifax of my XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they still are allowing collection accounts on my credit report in an illegal attempt to collect on the debt filed in bankruptcy court. I notified Equifax of bankruptcy XXXX   and have disputed all collection accounts, yet they refuse to follow federal law. For example XXXX XXXX  was declared bankruptcy yet they have still allowed XXXX to report it late even tho bankruptcy was reported prior to any late payments. Also they are still allowing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a collection account to remain on the credit report with a balance even after I have given them court docs showing bankruptcy. Equifax is illegally allowing balances to be listed and for them to continue to try and collect debts even after bankruptcy blatantly defying federal law. If this isn't rectified immediately I will be informing my XXXX  attorney and the court of this illegal actions and taking legal action against Equifax.
