Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I submitted a dispute package to TransUnion regarding fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This package included a police report, proof of identity, and a request for GAAP-compliant verification of the accounts. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, TransUnion was required to block these accounts within 4 business days. However, as of XX/XX/2024, no action has been taken, and their online system shows that the dispute wont be completed until XX/XX/2024, far exceeding the statutory timeframe. 

I contacted TransUnion on XX/XX/2024, where an agent confirmed that the file had been updated to reflect fraud ( File # XXXX ). However, the agent incorrectly claimed that all disputes, including fraud-related ones, follow a 30-day process, which contradicts the law that mandates a 4-day blocking requirement for identity theft cases. This misinformation and failure to act have caused financial and reputational harm. 

Following my initial CFPB complaint ( # XXXX ), TransUnion responded to the CFPB on XX/XX/2024, stating they were still working on the issue and might require up to 60 days. This response ignores the statutory 4-day requirement and continues to perpetuate the misinformation that disputes, even in cases of fraud, take 30 days or more. While their investigation can proceed, TransUnion is legally obligated to block fraudulent information immediately once proper documentation is received. 

Despite submitting all necessary documentation, including a police report, identity verification, and an SEC report, and notifying TransUnion that I had the FTC Identity Theft Report ready, they have delayed taking action, violating the law and causing significant damage to my creditworthiness. The response to the CFPB demonstrates that TransUnion is sidestepping its legal obligations, further damaging my financial standing and perpetuating harm. 


Additionally, XXXX faced similar compliance issues regarding my fraud dispute, causing delays and harm to my credit standing. Both credit bureaus are failing to uphold their legal obligations, despite my proactive efforts to resolve these issues. CFPB # XXXX XXXX Report # XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have had experience membership for about maybe XXXX months OK but Im in the meantime they kept advertising about digital checking so I said well. Let me check into it so I went and opened account and I was able to get in but recently I had changed my phone number and so now they have this rule that if you have a digital account, you have to wait 95 days before your number can be updated. In the meantime my old number is no longer needed and so that is where the codes are being sent to, and I cant even get in my experience account due to this, XXXX rule. 
When I first joined the membership and maybe like XXXX months after I went and did the digital checking, they didnt ask for no information and now just because I want to change my number they asked me for all this information. When why didnt they ask me for information when I did the digital or the membership Just I feel like this company needs to get their stuff together because its an inconvenience to the customer the customer and had to be waiting on 45 days for a update on the phone so they can finally get in to experian website. 
I really hope that you look into this situation.
