Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U. S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, my Best Buy account was inaccurately reported as 30 days late on my credit report. The account has since been closed. I have verified that all payments were made on time, and this late payment never occurred. Reporting false or inaccurate information to credit reporting agencies violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate information and conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes an item. This inaccurate reporting is harming my creditworthiness and may negatively impact my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Repossession — Deficiency balance after repossession
Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Mazda Financial Services charged me {$750.00} in repossession expenses after repossessing my vehicle. When I requested documentation verifying this fee, Mazda representatives repeatedly told me they do not provide invoices or any proof of the actual amount paid to the repossession company. 

To verify the charge, I contacted the towing/recovery company directly. The company confirmed that they billed Mazda only {$320.00} for the repossession service not {$750.00}. 

Mazda has refused to explain or itemize the additional {$420.00} difference. This appears to be an unverified and unreasonable fee, and may violate Maryland Commercial Law 12-115, which allows a lender to charge only the actual and reasonable expenses incurred in repossessing or storing a vehicle. 

Mazdas refusal to provide documentation, combined with evidence that they overcharged me, may also constitute an unfair or deceptive trade practice under the Maryland Consumer Protection Act ( 13-301 ).

I have filed formal complaints with both the Maryland Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation and the XXXX XXXX XXXX, but Mazda continues to demand payment of the full {$750.00}.

Desired Resolution : A full accounting and copy of the towing/recovery invoice showing the actual cost Mazda incurred .

A refund or adjustment of the {$420.00} overcharge.

Confirmation that Mazda Financial will comply with Maryland law and cease charging unverified repossession fees to consumers.

Supporting Information : Tow company confirmed Mazda was billed {$320.00} ( I can provide name and contact info upon request ).

Mazda has refused multiple requests for documentation.

I have copies of all correspondence showing Mazdas refusal. 

This practice appears deceptive and unlawful under both federal and state consumer protection laws.
