Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I disputed inaccurate information reporting on my consumer file with TransUnion on XXXX separate occasions, but they failed to respond in a resonnable time frame. They did not inform me of the outcomes either. I first reached out to TransUnion concerning the inaccurate accounts on my credit file on XX/XX/XXXX. However, after many attempts from me to resolve this issue, TransUnion is still reporting the accounts on my credit file. It is important to note that some of these accounts were found to violate my rights and were removed back in XX/XX/XXXX and in XX/XX/XXXX. I also informed TransUnion that the furnishers of the information are most likely unreliable sources and/or giving them false information about me. I'm now seeking a remedy. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act These accounts violated my rights : XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX These accounts are inaccurate, incomplete and not adhering to compliance standards. I require that any mistakes be fixed permanently. On XX/XX/XXXX, I also requested another investigation with TransUnion into the matter. However it has been more than the XXXX  days period and TransUnion has still not completed their investigation or they just ignored my many requests. For that reason I demand that these accounts be removed from my credit report for good seen that it is way outside of normal investigation period. According to the FCRA, 15 U.S. Code 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S. Code 1681 Section 604 A. section 2 : Also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. It is important to note that I previously requested the information that TransUnion used to verify the accounts with the creditor but did not receive anything even after XXXX  days of my demand letter. TransUnion must remove the accounts from my credit report in a reasonable time frame and inform me of the outcome.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account though your company claims to have verified this. 
Depending solely on your flawed XXXX system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the XXXX system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding MIDLANDCRE for their failure to adhere to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and other applicable consumer protection laws. Specifically, they did not respond to my debt validation request and continued reporting the alleged account to the credit bureaus, which constitutes a violation under the FDCPA.

Details of the Incident : 1. Validation Request Sent : On XX/XX/year>, I sent a written debt validation letter to [ Debt Collector Name ] via [ Certified Mail/Return Receipt Requested, or other verifiable method ], requesting validation of the alleged debt under FDCPA Section 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ).

2. Proof of Delivery : According to my records, the letter was received on [ Date ], as evidenced by [ Certified Mail Receipt, Tracking Information, etc. ].

3. No Response Received : Despite the requirement to provide verification or validation of the alleged debt, [ Debt Collector Name ] has failed to respond within the legally mandated timeframe.

4. Continued Reporting : Despite failing to validate the debt, [ Debt Collector Name ] has continued to report the alleged account to credit reporting agencies. This action violates FDCPA Section 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ), which prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations, and specifically the prohibition on continuing collection efforts without validating the debt after a consumer 's request.

Resolution Requested : I request the following actions from MIDLANDCRE to resolve this matter : 1. Immediate Cease of Reporting : Remove the account from my credit reports with all credit reporting agencies.

2. Provide Validation : Provide full validation of the alleged debt, including : o Proof that the debt belongs to me.

o Documentation showing the original creditor and amount.

o A copy of any signed agreements or contracts.

3. Cease Collection Activities : If the debt can not be validated, I request that [ Debt Collector Name ] immediately cease all collection activities related to this account. 
Complaint Summary : Company Name : MIDLANDCRE Account Number : XXXX Issue Type : Failure to respond to validation request and continued reporting. 
I believe that MIDLANDCRE has violated my rights under the FDCPA, and I seek assistance from the CFPB in resolving this matter.

Attachments : Copy of the validation letter sent.

Proof of delivery ( e.g., certified mail receipt, tracking information ).

Credit report showing continued reporting.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
