Complaint narrative:
I 've written to the Hawaii Federal Bankruptcy Court - XXXX. This is their reply : The United States Bankruptcy Court XXXX does not provide any information to any credit bureaus, all information they obtain is via third party. You are correct that pursuant both to Federal Statute and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure only the last XXXX digits of a Debtor 's social security number along with their full name and address can be released. In order to obtain a debtor 's full social security number, a third party must file a motion with the court to unseal documents related to a case. This would be very unusual and does not happen on a regular basis. I hope this letter is helpful in your matter. 
Sincerely, Clerk of Court. 
I have brought this up to Transunion 's attention along with a document that was filed in court that does not contain my name. The name that is on that document is different than my name. I have been complaining to them since XX/XX/2015 and they still have not remove it.

Complaint narrative:
I have filed several disputes with TransUnion and XXXX for Maryland State Tax Liens. I was able to obtain lien releases for both tax liens for XXXX and XXXX, which should have been removed in XXXX and XXXX respectively. The credit reporting agency refused to remove these liens, reported incorrect account and case numbers, and court information on the reports. When I called the number on the credit report, the information is not verifiable and I was told that this information does not exist. In essence, the credit reporting agencies are " rubber stamping '' invalid and incorrect information without confirming the validity of the liens. The courts do not report to the credit reporting agencies. Also, these liens are over XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX, well beyond the age limit for credit reporting. This has caused financial distress and caused me to be denied for Home Equity loans, mortgage loan modifications, student loans for my children, and other consumer loans. This has affected my FICO score.

Complaint narrative:
Trans Union : Spent Hours on the Phone with this Company, trying to fix my Online Account Credit service that I subscribed to. For the Past Months my Online Score For its own site to Varies XXXX Parties Showed Me either with a XXXX or No Reported Score. When I called in to find a resolution to this, I was transferred back and forth between and online department saying I no longer have a credit report, vs Disputes Saying My Credit Report is still active. Management Claims no Resolution to this and only Access to my report is via Paper form. 

Luckily this has not Effected my Pre-Existing credit accounts, such as XXXX XXXX, who even their tracking system shows me at XXXX, and I still have received raises to my established credit line due to my payment practice. 

XXXX/XXXX Still shows reports, though have not bought into any other online tracking to verify this. Currently Have no Open Disputes ( Which was told that could lead to this Situation ) I have the reporting since My Name is Common and It is common for these credit agencies to shift stuff under my score with very little background information, Such as just using my name. Rather then an SSN # or any type of real form ID attachment.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I contact Trans Union through the cfpb.gov online gateway stating that XXXX of my personal emails hosted by XXXX was hacked, contained account and sensitive information and since XXXX of 2016 I had been receiving account threats of bills and accounts opened in my name using my social security number address name. and the I have subsequent hard inquires as well on my Trans Union consumer credit report and that I would like all inquires made after XXXX removed as I also initiated a Fraud Alert across all XXXX credit bureaus. However I was informed by Trans Union that since the email that was hacked was not the same as the one I used to communicate with the cfpb they were not under under obligation to do anything at all. I find that both untrue and evasive if the material issue was that if my email was hacked then " I '' was compromised and need remediation as a consumer starting with the retainer and furnisher of credit inquiries and records, not misdirection and dismissal of the damages suffered.

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is with TransUnion about an account on my credit report listed under XXXX XXXX. TransUnion is damaging my character and humiliating. It has been an overly burdensome task to try to have this rectified through the dispute process. I have never owned a XXXX vehicle and never made any late payments. I have worked with XXXX XXXX and sent many letters to TransUnion asking them to provide documentation that they are using to confirm the account is mine, and that i had made said late payments. I request this account be removed from my credit report if they can not provide requested proof/documentation. I have rights under the FCRA to seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section XXXX and Section XXXX regarding their continued willful and negligent noncompliance with my requests. I pray for relief from this overly burdensome mark on my credit. I certify that this said vehicle was never mine and I never made late payments to XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
This charge is for " Roaming Charges '' while on a cruise. I did not make or receive any calls, did not text or receive any texts ( except from XXXX ), and/or did not connect to any website while out of the country ; therefore I received no benefit. I initially disputed this charge w/XXXX, by my phone call, in XX/XX/XXXX and asked for details of the charges, which I never received. I disputed the charges again XXXX XXXX ( collection agency ), who sent a demand letter, in a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX and again requested a statement detailing any numbers that were called or received, and the web sites that were visited during the period while I was out of the country, and once again received nothing. My account was then passed on to the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( another collection agency ) and I received a demand letter from them. I wrote to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and informed them that the charge was not valid and that I had already disputed the charge with XXXX and another agency. I explained that I received no benefit for the charges, and despite XXXX requests, I had not received anything validating the charges. I informed them that I would not respond to any more inquiries. On XXXX XXXX they signed for my certified letter and my account was reported to XXXX as a collection on XXXX XXXX. My XXXX Credit Score has just dropped from XXXX to XXXX due to this. I 've not checked, but I 'm sure that my XXXX and XXXX XXXX scores have dropped as well. I have a collection on my credit report for a medical bill which I disputed. The scenario with that bill was exactly the same. When I would dispute it with a collection agency they would drop it and then it would be sent to another agency. I finally gave up sending letters and explaining the situation over and over again. This practice has got to be in violation of the FCRA and I do not intend to have another collection on my record that is not valid. Enhanced Recovery should be shut down based on accounts that I 've read when I researched the phone number that they called from. 
Since then I received another collection letter from Enhanced Recovery Company , LLC. I have verified that they called me on XXXX and today ( XXXX ), left it ring XXXX, hung up before I could answer and left no message. The number that they called from is ( XXXX ) XXXX. I have no interest in contacting them as I have already made it clear to XXXX other collection agencies that I do not owe XXXX {$620.00} and that I requested a detailed statement which I have not received. They do not have a detailed statement as explained above. I sent a letter to XXXX requesting that they remove the collection. They did not remove it but they did indicate on the report that the account is in dispute.

Complaint narrative:
Transunion has to be one of the worst, incompetent, lazy, lying companies on the face of the earth! I have been trying for almost a year now to clear up some obvious mistakes that they have made on my credit report and despite clear evidence of their errors they are refusing to do anything other than give me a hard time. XXXX XXXX and XXXX and XXXX show me owing them money but they have refused all forms of requests fro validation that I have sent them and it is safe to assume that they probabaly dont have it right? XXXX has a 30 day late in XX/XX/XXXX that should have been removed by now. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX have been paid so why does it still report? I dont owe them any money so it doesnt make sense that they should continue to harm my score right? Also XXXX is reporting a late date in XX/XX/XXXX that should have been removed by now.
