Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went to shop at a Kohl 's. Cashier heavily pushed a loyalty card onto me ensuring it wasn't a credit card that gave me Kohl 's cash. I started the application on the checkout terminal but told the cashier to abort it and not go through with it because it seemed strange. She turned the kiosk around and entered falsified information about me after I explicitly said I wanted to back out and sent through with the credit card approval anyway. I called Kohl 's customer service twice that day. First time the representative said it wasn't a credit card. I went back in and she said " of course it's a credit card '' and I called again saying that this account was opened fraudulently and want it closed. They ignored my request and sent the card. I sent a dispute through XXXX and my results from how I understood it were that the information I provided was accurate but they will not change it or delete this card/account of off my credit report. I should mention that absolutely no APR rate was mentioned during the whole process until I received a form about it after the cashier forced my sign up.
