Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: CA

Complaint narrative:
Transunion has not responded to my dispute and therefore must update my credit file. The late date which is actually submitted on my credit report sounds very inaccurate or deceptive. You should furnish confirmation that this assumed account was in fact past due and that you have taken the vital practices to be able to appropriately learn more about your allegations. Under Section 614, restrictions on investigative consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681l ], you only restrict to investigate my personal file if no adverse information in my report ( other than information which is a matter of public record ) may be included in a subsequent consumer report unless such adverse information has been verified in the process of making such subsequent consumer report, or the adverse information was received within the three-month period preceding the date the subsequent report is furnished.

Company: ATG Credit, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
When they call, they refuse to state who they are or where they are calling from. Every time they call, its a different collections agency, XXXX? I can't keep up. Ifirst spoke with them on XX/XX/XXXX. At that time I advised them that this is not my debt, I have no eob to go with it, and XXXX went bankrupt anyway. I informed them that this needs to be validated. They stated they would do so and let me know. By XX/XX/XXXX I still had not heard anything from them so I went ahead and disputed the debt without validation. XX/XX/XXXX was the first time I had heard from them in any form. At that time I advised her of the above, before I could ask that they cease contacting me, the employee ended the conversation. On XX/XX/XXXX they called again and the same conversation ensued. Despite repeated requests they refuse to validate and dispute but continue to harass me. Then today XX/XX/XXXX they called me at XXXX claiming that this kind of behavior is perfectly legal. I blocked them.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I am submitting a request to block information on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however the CRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifing information was affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX date breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE AND DO NOT PLACE A FRAUD ALERT UNLESS I SAY SO. The accounts that must be removed are : 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

This notice is not a request for verification of the account or proof of my mailing address, but a request for validation made pursuant to the FDCPA laws. I humbly request that your agency/office sends me valid proof that I am legally obligated to pay you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/2022, I have been trying to get the credit bureaus and all of the companies who have been illegally furnishing my information to remove 2 accounts on my credit file that are not mine. I have provided them an identity theft report and in good faith tried to resolve this matter. My rights as a consumer have been violated on multiple occasions. Section 605 b of The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that any item that the consumer alerts a consumer reporting agency is a result of fraud, must be removed within 4 business days. How dare you even furnish an account on my credit file. I did not give you written permission. On top of the other violations being committed against me, XXXX XXXX is committing tax fraud for reporting the fraud account they have listed on my file. It is listed as a charge off. This means they have written the account off and sold it. Therefore, they have no interest in the account. They are guilty of furnishing untrue information. I demand that these accounts be removed immediately.
