Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed you a letter disputing inaccurate information contained in my consumer reports compiled, maintained, and published by you. 

As per XXXX records, you received my dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX. Accordingly, as per the FCRA, you were required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and delete the disputed information as I requested before the end of the 30-day period on the date on which you received my dispute letter. Here, you received my dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX ; therefore, your response was due on or by XX/XX/XXXX, instead of sending me a response letter with the results of your investigation of the disputed information, you mailed me a letter claiming that you refuse to perform a reinvestigation. 

Clearly, you have willfully failed to delete the disputed information as I have requested. Instead of deleting the disputed information, you willfully failed to conduct a reasonable investigation of my dispute because you claim to have already validated the furnished information. However, your excuse or assumption is not a valid reason under the FCRA to not reinvestigate my dispute. Note, you have not made any reasonable determination that my dispute was frivolous or irrelevant. Nor have you sent me a notice of such determination that complies with the FCRA. Your failure to reinvestigate is an intentional and/or negligent FCRA violation XXXX I have included a current credit report that clearly shows XXXX has abided by the laws of the FCRA, and REMOVED XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 2022-12-13 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I signed a HELOC agreement for {$150000.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX Loans. For two years, I made regular monthly payments in the amount of over {$1000.00}. Unfortunately, in XXXX, during the recession, our small business was hit hard. Between trying to make the first mortgage payments, keeping the business afloat, and providing for my family, I couldn't afford the payments to the second mortgage company. I didn't hear from them for 12 years while my house was upside down, and during the COVID crisis now, a company called Specialized Loan Servicing ( SLS ) sent me many intimidating phone calls and emails for an amount of {$200000.00}. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, we were notified that a sale date had been set for our home for XX/XX/XXXX. We contacted many different organizations and entities to help us resolve the issue and stop the foreclosure. During one of these conversations, while also on the phone with XXXX, just one week before the house was to be sold, we were notified while on that call that the foreclosure proceedings had stopped. We immediately contacted XXXX to find an answer to why the proceedings had stopped and the status of our situation. Unfortunately, we never got an explanation or answer to the matter. 

Now, almost a year later and after attempts to get a loan modification, which was not feasible due to the {$60000.00} down payment XXXX requested, and a loan refinancing interest rate three times higher than my current first mortgage interest rate, they issued an auction date at the county courthouse for XX/XX/XXXX. We did not receive the filing of the notice for sale until XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, more than a week after the notice was filed by XXXX XXXX XXXX and Certified Mail by USPS XXXX XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to resolve this issue before and you know that you are breaking the law. Any transaction or experience between the consumer and the person making the report Shall NOT be reported on consumer reports. 

There are four attachments to this complaint. Please take the time to open them up and read them so that we may resolve this issue. There are congressional findings and definitions giving proof that the information about XXXX XXXX shall not be reported on my consumer report. This is very embarrassing to even go through this process, my character is being defamed and my privacy is being seen by anyone who tries to access my credit report. Please have this issue resolved within 4 days. I have already wasted time trying to have this issue resolved and I can not get that time back. 

I will be awaiting your response in the next few days. I am trying to purchase a home and this is slowing me down.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to update the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not update the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the dispute letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the dispute letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy... 
I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there were 30 days late payments on my credit report. I have read enough to understand my rights. The TransUnion Credit Bureau is required to verify for themselves, but they failed to neither verify nor update me about these complaints. I believe the company is violating Sections 616 & 617 of the FCRA. I believe theyre unwilfully noncomplying with federal law & this issue is creating a ton of emotional physical stress. Id like this matter resolved ASAP as it is impacting my health & wellbeing. Please update or remove the late payment from this account. Below is the account with erroneous information and Id like remedied ASAP.
