Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a credit card via XXXX a card with synchrony bank and XXXX & XXXX XXXX. 
I had used my card with no issues, until the other day. 

I went to purchase more items per my phone call with synchrony bank in regards to this issue. 

XXXX & XXXX decided not to renew their contract with Synchrony bank so the bank decided to discontinue the card. 

My credit took a hit with a decreased score. 
In 15 years I have 100 % on time payment. 

I asked Synchrony for a product change. 
They advise that option was not available due to their was no merchant who would pick up that contract. 

The pay boo card was terminated in XXXX, however as a tv producer XXXX travel and did not see the mail that they sent. 

My complaint is that I did everything by law and yet when these two companies decided not to continue business my credit took a hit and all the bank had to say was for me to read my terms and conditions as this is the law and they are in their legally right. 

The part that makes me the angriest is I wanted to buy more equipment and due to know product change which would not have required a hard pull on my credit. Now I either have to pay cash or try to get credit, however with the creditor closing the account it hit my credit hard. I assumed if I closed the account it would adversely effect me worse. Synchrony told me the opposite. 

I hope I explained the situation with the least amount of emotion.

My XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage is not reported on my Transunion bureau. I have made multiple phone calls to Both XXXX XXXX and Transunion and filed disputes in an effort to get this corrected.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against STAFFORD GROUP ASSOCIATE for committing identity theft. I have never given STAFFORD GROUP ASSOCIATE any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ). 

I have never received any type of documentation requesting validation from STAFFORD GROUP ASSOCIATE before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If STAFFORD GROUP ASSOCIATE can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. 


I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until STAFFORD GROUP ASSOCIATE can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and STAFFORD GROUP ASSOCIATE continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and STAFFORD GROUP ASSOCIATE will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to the attached letter, as an added insult to injury, even though TD Bank unilaterally and on their own decided to abruptly close our bank accounts in retaliation for our filing customer service complaints with the XXXX XXXX XXXX, CFPB, and XXXX Department of Financial Services ( amongst other agencies ), they also closed our attendant merchant credit card acceptance accounts as well. 

However, they left open the really horrible part - that these " merchant accounts '' are still " open '' for disgruntled past clients from as far back as 6 months to 1 year to file " credit card charge backs '' in the tens of thousands of dollars, and we have no way of either : ( 1 ) knowing about it ; ( 2 ) responding to it ; ( 3 ) finding out about it ; and ( 4 ) presumably would only discover it once the XXXX thieving former clients or the TD Bank itself obtains a default judgment against us and places a lien on our current, new bank account ( s ). 

Please investigate this shady bank, and its equally shady, deceptive, retaliatory business tactics.
