Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX regarding the illegal reporting of a charge-off, which is considered a certificate of indebtedness and therefore income under IRS Publication 4681. This erroneous reporting violates federal regulations, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Privacy Act of 1974, causing significant financial and emotional distress. The charge-off, considered as income per IRS Publication 4681, should not be included in consumer reports, as explicitly mandated by federal regulations. However, XXXX has inaccurately reported this income, breaching the FCRA and IRS guidelines. This misleading reporting not only misrepresents my financial standing but also infringes upon federal regulations designed to ensure accurate and fair reporting to consumers. Despite my attempts to rectify this issue directly with XXXX by disputing the inaccurate information on my consumer report, the erroneous reporting persists. This continued misreporting has substantially hindered my ability to access credit and financial opportunities. Furthermore, XXXX 's actions violate several federal statutes, including : 1. Violation of FCRA Sections 1681 ( a ) and 1681 ( b ) : XXXX illegal reporting of inaccurate information without my explicit consent contradicts the FCRA, impairing the efficiency of the banking system and undermining public confidence essential to its functioning. 2. Violation of FCRA Section 6802 : XXXX reported information without my consent, breaching my opt-out rights and failing to disclose clearly and conspicuously that such information could be disclosed to third parties. This continuous inaccurate reporting has resulted in substantial financial damages and emotional stress. Moreover, it directly contravenes federal laws aimed at protecting consumer privacy and ensuring fair and accurate credit reporting. I respectfully request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against XXXX for their egregious violations of federal statutes. Additionally, I seek immediate rectification of the inaccurately reported information on my consumer report to mitigate the ongoing financial and emotional distress caused by their actions. Enclosed are supporting documents detailing the inaccurate reporting and relevant federal statutes for your review and consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly await your prompt response and resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal dispute regarding Experians mishandling of my prior disputes and their failure to comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). The CFPB 's recent lawsuit highlights systemic issues with Experians handling of consumer disputes, which are directly relevant to my experience. 

I previously disputed the following information on my Experian credit report : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Disputed Issue : inaccurate Reinvestigate the Disputed Information : Conduct a proper and thorough investigation of the disputed account and provide detailed results of your findings. 

Remove Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information : If Experian or the furnisher can not verify the disputed account with evidence, delete it from my credit report immediately. 

Provide Investigation Details : Share all documentation you used to verify the disputed account, including records from the data furnisher. 
Ensure Compliance with the Law : Prevent improper reinsertion of any previously disputed or deleted information.

Complaint narrative:
Once submitting a dispute, Experian immediately, within XXXX hours, sends notification that my disputes were verified. They never produce a method of verification even when I have requested it and they never take a full 30 days to verify a dispute. Experian is currently being sued by the CFPB for sham investigations of credit reporting errors which proves that their process violates consumer rights to dispute incorrect information and have incorrect information removed from the Experian credit report which gives a false picture of consumer creditworthiness.

Complaint narrative:
Dear TransUnion, Thank you for your response dated XX/XX/year>, regarding my previous dispute. While I acknowledge that you are currently investigating this matter, your response fails to address the specific legal violations and documentation requests I outlined in my original correspondence. This lack of transparency and failure to provide relevant details raises significant concerns about the accuracy of your verification process. 

To reiterate : Documentation Request Under FCRA Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), I have formally requested documentation to verify the disputed account, including : The original signed agreement.

Payment history and balance calculations. 
Documentation from XXXX XXXX XXXX confirming the accuracy of the account. 
To date, I have not received these documents, which are critical to substantiate your claim that this account has been verified and accurate. Your failure to provide this information within the mandated timeline violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Reinvestigation Under FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), you are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information. Sole reliance on automated systems such as e-Oscar, without reviewing the necessary documentation, does not meet this standard.

Accuracy of Reporting The account continues to reflect a charge-off with a balance owed. If this account was charged off and written off as a tax loss, the balance should be updated to {$0.00}, as required by federal tax law ( 26 U.S.C. 6050P ).

My Demands I am requesting the following actions be completed immediately : Provide Verification Documents : Submit all documentation used to verify this account, including those provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Remove the Account If Unverified : If you can not verify this account with proper documentation, it must be removed from my credit file in accordance with FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Provide a Detailed Explanation of the Verification Process : Clearly explain how this account was verified and the steps taken during your reinvestigation.

Failure to comply with these demands will result in further action, including filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my state attorney general.
