Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out because theres an account showing up on my credit report that does not belong to me. This account appears to be the result of mixed or merged credit information, and it is very clear that this account is tied to someone elses identitynot mine. 

I want to make this absolutely clear : I have no association whatsoever with the account in question. I did not open it, I have no connection to the person who did, and I should not be held responsible for their financial activity. Somehow, my credit file has been inaccurately combined with another persons information, and this is now negatively impacting my credit profilethrough no fault of my own. 

This is not just a mistake ; its a serious error that violates the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the law, you are obligated to ensure that every item reported under my name is 100 % accurate and verifiably connected to me. In this case, that standard is not being met.

The one for XXXX they claim was applied back to my account somewhere on or near XXXX to which I have never seen it applied. Synchrony Bank has done nothing to keep me posted of the CREDITS that should be applied to my account. I have been nothing more than a preferred customer according to them. Yet this has happened to me. A XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Veteran. Then on XXXX I filed a dispute with Synchrony once again in the amount of XXXX It is in reference to a code that I NEVER received from XXXX XXXX. I am assuming that matter to be under review at this time. I did receive a letter from XXXX asking me to report it to the Credit reporting agency.

If all CREDITS would be applied my account balance would be wll in the -range of roughly XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
