Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding a fraudulent debt reported by Navy Federal Credit Union ( creditor ) under account number XXXX. I was never notified about this debt via mail, nor was I given the opportunity to dispute it, which violates my rights under multiple federal laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

Details of the Violations : 1. Failure to Provide Notice ( FCRA Violation ) : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681g of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to written notification of any adverse information reported on my credit report, including details about the alleged debt. Navy Federal Credit Union failed to provide me with this notice, depriving me of the opportunity to dispute the debt, which is a violation of my consumer rights.

2. Fraudulent Debt Reporting ( FCRA Violation ) : The debt in question is fraudulent. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( a ) ( FCRA Section 605B ), no entity has the right to report information related to identity theft or fraudulent activity on my credit report without my permission. I did not authorize this debt to be reported. The fact that it appeared on my credit report without proper validation or authorization is a violation of my rights under the FCRA.

3. Failure to Validate the Debt ( FDCPA Violation ) : Even though Navy Federal Credit Union is a creditor, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), they are required to validate any debt upon my request. I have not been provided with sufficient proof of the alleged debt, which violates this provision.

4. Violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : Under the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq. ), creditors are required to provide clear disclosures of all terms associated with a loan or credit agreement. In this case, no such disclosure was provided, further supporting that the debt is fraudulent. The failure to provide the required disclosure documents violates TILA regulations.

5. Unfair, Deceptive, and Abusive Acts or Practices ( UDAAP Violation ) : Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ( 12 U.S.C. 5531 ), creditors are prohibited from engaging in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices ( UDAAP ). Reporting a fraudulent debt without providing proper notice or validation constitutes an unfair and deceptive practice, causing harm to me as a consumer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the items listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ITEMS? I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Sherman Financial and LVNV Funding have misrepresented the true ownership of the account, engaging in deceptive practices. Under Texas Finance Code 392.202, I request that LVNV Funding, LLC investigate and validate this debt, notify the credit bureaus of my dispute, and cease collection activities, removing the tradelines associated with the account ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ). 

Additionally, LVNV Funding and Resurgent Capital Services, though operating as the same business, mislead consumers by reporting the debt under LVNVs name while all communications and payments are directed through Resurgent. LVNV Funding does not take payments, respond to XXXX disputes, or address CFPB complaints. This violates Texas Finance Code 392.304, which prohibits the use of false, misleading, or deceptive practices in debt collection. 

I also believe that Sherman Financial Group is the true owner of the account, raising concerns about the accuracy and legality of LVNVs reporting and collection activities. Furthermore, LVNV or Resurgent may have executives or shareholders who are not legally allowed to collect debts, compounding potential violations of state and federal laws.
