Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for their failure to adequately respond to a dispute letter that I mailed on XX/XX/XXXXvia USPS certified mail, tracking number # XXXX. In my dispute letter, I requested an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report, including entries such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Reference Number : XXXX, and Bankruptcy Reference Number : XXXX. Additionally, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. 

To aid TransUnion in verifying my identity and address, I included copies of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address. 

Despite mailing the dispute letter and providing necessary documentation, I received a response from TransUnion, dated XX/XX/XXXX indicating that they were unable to process my request because it did not appear to have been sent directly by me or an authorized third party. This response demonstrates a failure on TransUnion 's part to recognize the legitimacy of my dispute and to comply with their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under the FCRA, credit bureaus are obligated to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when the completeness or accuracy of any information is disputed by the consumer. It is clear that TransUnion has failed to fulfill this obligation, thereby infringing upon my consumer rights. 

Enclosed with this complaint are copies of the dispute letter I sent to TransUnion, along with USPS certified mail proof of delivery and TransUnions response, serving as evidence of my efforts to rectify inaccuracies in my credit report and TransUnion 's failure to conduct a proper investigation.

Complaint narrative:
I have been dealing with Portfolio Recovery Associates or is it PRA Group- either way it's the SAME I have attempted many times in the past to aquire updated status of the debt because it has been 'bought ' multiple times, I have shown up at the court house after having received 'court papers ' only to be told they couldn't find the docket number and didn't have me on the case booking. I have had a woman from the company repeatedly asking me to borrow money from people, family or friends, for that very phone call, telling me to 'try to borrow money from someone right now '. I asked repeatedly since to have updated paperwork mailed to me and haven't received anything yet, but now I have this company and the previous owning company 'verifying ownership ' of this one debt to the credit companies. They now call several times a week, even on weekends, some times every single day.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the unauthorized reporting of transaction and late payment history on my credit report by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. This action appears to be in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681a and 1681b.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, a " consumer reporting agency '' is defined as any person that regularly engages in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports to third parties. Additionally, a " consumer report '' is defined as any communication bearing on a consumer 's credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living.

However, 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Therefore, reporting transaction history on my credit report is considered illegal under this exclusion. Furthermore, the reporting of late payment history without proper verification and authorization is also in violation of the FCRA. 

As a consumer, I have not provided authorization for the inclusion of transaction and late payment history on my credit report, nor have I consented to such reporting. Therefore, the actions taken by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX are in direct violation of the FCRA. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to address the unauthorized reporting of transaction and late payment history by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. Enclosed with this letter, you will find copies of relevant documents, including my credit report reflecting the unauthorized reporting. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take the necessary steps to ensure that my rights under the FCRA are protected.
