Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have several accounts on my credit report specifically with TransUnion that are being reported without my permission. I have made multiple requests, and TransUnion has not deleted/removed these accounts. The details are as follows : Under XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ( b ) XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX U.S.C. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( XXXX ) these accounts are in violation of not reporting 100 % accurate : XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2020 Balance : {$11000.00} For the past seven months, I have asked for proof of verification along with the original contract with my signature that validates these accounts, as required by law. Neither TransUnion nor the creditors have provided these documents, surpassing the 30-day legal requirement for such validation. This constitutes a violation of my consumer rights. I request TransUnion to either present the original contracts validating these accounts or initiate a reinvestigation, compelling the creditors to provide the required documentation. This is a legal mandate, and the accounts should have been deleted/removed by now. Given the extended time frame, no dispute or investigation is deemed complete unless the original contract with my signed signature is presented by either the creditor or the credit bureau. I demand that these accounts be removed/deleted or verified immediately to rectify this clear violation of my rights.

Concerns Regarding Collection Practices Under 18 USC 894 I believe that the below agency may violate certain provisions under 18 USC 894, which pertain to extortionate credit transactions. 
LVNV Funding ( a ) Anyone who knowingly engages in or conspires to participate in the use of extortionate means : ( 1 ) to collect or attempt to collect any extension of credit, or ( 2 ) to punish any person for the non-repayment thereof, shall be subject to fines under this title or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 20 years, or both.

( b ) In any prosecution under this section, to establish an implicit threat as a means of collection, evidence may be presented indicating that one or more extensions of credit by the creditor were, to the knowledge of the person against whom the implicit threat is alleged, collected or attempted to be collected through extortionate means, or that the non-repayment thereof was punished through extortionate means.

( c ) In any prosecution under this section, if the evidence is introduced indicating the existence, at the time the relevant extension of credit was made, of circumstances described in section 892 ( b ) ( 1 ) or section 892 ( b ) ( 2 ), and direct evidence of the actual belief of the debtor regarding the creditor 's collection practices is unavailable, then, to demonstrate that words or other means of communication used as a means of the collection did carry an express or implicit threat, the court may, at its discretion, allow evidence to be presented indicating the reputation of the defendant in any community to which the person against whom the alleged threat was made belonged at the time of the collection or attempt at collection.
