Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting a complaint to you today to inform you I was the victim of identity theft. I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to update these accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not update the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the identity theft report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the identity theft report ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy ... Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) that alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) that is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) the filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research items I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each accounst are 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the items are verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly. This account ( s ) are unknown to me. Also, the information you provided on these accounts are DELETED from other bureaus and I have doubts in their accuracy and the reported payment history on these accounts is a mystery to me. As required by FCRA 605B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( C ) Authority to decline or rescind.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I have a problem with JCPenneys Card Services. The problem with them is that from time to time they are pulling my credit report. I dont know why they are doing this. I havent applied for any credit cards with them so they dont really need to pull my report. Their inquiries are hurting my credit background and they are unnecessary. 

They need my permission to pull my report and they havent asked me for my consent to do so. 

I want someone to contact them about this and ask them to stop pulling my credit report. I would like them to leave my credit report alone.

Product: Debt collection — Private student loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
In reference to complaint XXXX which includes the details of the account, American Education Services violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by continuously harassing me with debt collection calls after receiving a cease and desist letter and debt validation request, and did not provide *any* documentation within the 30 day period after receipt of the request. 
They broke federal law. Period. The CFPB is the entity responsible for upholding these laws. Period. 
Both AES and XXXX have still failed to provide legal proof of ownership of my loan, and the PHEEA investigation even stated that the " documentation no longer exists. '' The CFPB SUED XXXX FOR THIS VERY REASON. 
https : //www.consumerfinance.govXXXX  There is legal precedent that the CFPB proved in court that XXXX was unable to produce the documentation that they are legally required to have in order to legally collect on the loans. 
This is exactly what's going on here. I have been asking them to produce the documentation for 2 years. They keep sending me the original promissory note, from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, which does not prove that XXXX owns it. They have failed to prove anything. 
Again, AES broke federal law, and should be held accountable. 
XXXX is trying to fraudulently collect on a loan they do not own, until/unless they can legally prove otherwise, which is a REALLY SIMPLE REQUEST and should not take over 2 years to fulfill. 
I am not satisfied with their responses, I am not about to take AES breaking the law and harassing me sitting down, and I'm a little disturbed that the CFPB doesn't seem to care that both of these companies are in violation of the laws the CFPB is responsible for upholding.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Credit Acceptance sent a letter this month stating that they are going to take me off of their Covid 19 Protection Program starting XX/XX/XXXX and that any late payments, fees will be added to my credit report and that we could face repossession. Credit Acceptance took me off their Covid Protection Program back on XXXX of XXXX. They reported a total of 25 late payments and made calls and sent letters threatening to reprocess me and my husband 's vehicle. For 2 years we have struggled to make the monthly payments during Covid and have expressed this to Credit Acceptance without anything being done about it. It was only when I made a complaint to the CFPB back in XXXX of this year XXXX that something was done and they entered me into their Covid Protection Program for a couple months but now they are stating that fees, back pay and other monies are do. That they will be changing the way they report to the Credit Agencies to reflect back pay and could reprocess the vehicle. As a consumer I should be treated fairly. Credit Acceptance should give me the same amount of time in Covid 19 Protection as was given to other consumers, especially since I was initially enrolled in the Covid 19 Protection Program but was taken out by Credit Acceptance. The burden of not being protected from repossession for 2 years has put us behind on everything else including losing shelter. Credit Acceptance needs to grant us Credit Protection for 2 years since we should've been in the Covid 19 Protection Program starting XXXX XXXX. During Covid me and my husband are victims of predatory lending. This is unfair, deceptive and abusive practices, and we deserve restitution as customers. This is a violation of our rights 15 us code 45c states ( b ) Enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission ( 1 ) Unfair or deceptive acts or practices A violation of subsection ( a ) shall be treated as a violation of a rule defining an unfair or a deceptive act or practice under section 18 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( 15 U.S.C. 57a ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) ).

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have written all 3 credit bureaus several times and disputed two bankruptcy filings that show on my consumer report. Furthermore, It has been more than 30 days for the bureaus to respond and delete this from my report. Finally, I have written to the United States Bankruptcy court myself to find out why they were reporting these bankruptcy filings as mine. The court issued the attached letter which clearly shows that neither of the credit bureaus contacted or verified anything! I humbly request your department to look into this matter and FORCE the credit bureau to follow along and not further escalate this matter by depriving me of all the protections given to me with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Thank you.
