Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Transunion is violating my consumer rights. They are fraudulently letting XXXX  management number XXXX report a fraudulent account on my credit profile. I have never heard of this company, nor should they have any information of mine. I was suspicious so I looked this company up on my Secretary of State website and seen that they aren't licensed to do business/collect a debt in my state. They are illegally doing business in Michigan. I'm asking you to enforce to enforce the laws on Transunion for failure to investigate as I'm a federally protected consumer. I will also be reporting both Transunion and XXXX to the IRS filling out form 3949- A information referral for unreported income since Transunion gets paid from this company and this company isn't licensed to do business in my state, leads me to believe they are exporting people for money and not reporting it to the IRS. I will also be reporting both companies to the Attorney General and XXXX XXXX XXXX I attached proof that XXXX isn't allowed to do business in my state. If the account isn't removed in 30 days, I'll also be filing the attached forms to sue both companies for defamation of character. They are making me look noncreditworthy to other lender and I have been denied credit due to this matter. It has caused me great emotional distress and my doctor has prescribed me Trazodone because I haven't been able to sleep at night due to the financial and emotional harm these two companies have caused. I know that XXXX pays Transunion to report inaccurate information and Transunion refused to give me a fair investigation for their financial gain.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I have been charged interest incorrectly by American Express twice in the last two months. I attempted to resolve this directly with them but they state they are correct.

1. On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged {$630.00} interest related to the XX/XX/year> statement. I attempted to make payment on XX/XX/XXXX but the payment was rejected due to insufficient funds. I immediately replenished the funds and was going to reattempt payment but was notified in email by American Express on XX/XX/XXXX that they would attempt to re-apply the payment and Theres no need for you to make a new payment at this time. So upon advice of American Express I did not re-attempt. The payment was finally made by them on XX/XX/XXXX ( 1 day later ) and I was charged interest of {$630.00}. I called three different times to complain and have it removed - stating that I was going to reattempt payment but they advised not do - and now I am being charged interest for following their request. They refused to acknowledge they were at fault and said interest was still due, but they did waive the late fee. How could this be right? I made every attempt to pay on time in full but they confused the situation and now I end up paying the interest on it? 

As a result I switched to auto pay immediately to avoid any future issues. 

XXXX. Related to # XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX I was charged {$480.00} interest. This XXXX statement was paid in full on time on XX/XX/XXXX. So naturally I was frustrated why there was interest being charged again. I chatted with American Express on the app to resolve and they claim it is Residual Interest due from the issue in # XXXX. But they could not however explain how it was being calculated. I asked them repeatedly to explain the math but they could not. They only referred to me to my agreement. How can someone charge interest but not have to explain it? And this is truly confusing and referring someone to a complex agreement to do the math themselves seems flat out wrong - especially when I explained they are wrong. 

Please help me resolve this, I paid on time or attempted to pay on time with American Express but they manipulated the situation and now I am bearing interest and they cant even explain how its being calculated!

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.
