Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

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.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I reiceved a notification indicating that I had a deliquent account past due with Capital One. For reference, I have almost XXXX payments I have made on time over the past 7 years. After navigating the complicated hoops of reaching an account rep with my bank they placed a freeze on the account and let me know they would be conducting a 90 day investigation.

I don't have 90 days. I had hopes of pulling lending for a home purchase in the next 3 months. My credit score dropped by XXXX points as of result of Capitals one negligence to have sufficient fraud detection in place. I only say this because of the following evidence I discovered when pulling my credit report online from XXXX. 

When I pulled my report, I noticed an address to an apartment in Washington XXXX - XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DC XXXX to be exact. I can provide this document if needed. This indivdual had opened an account using my credentials in some way and had been using a credit card since XX/XX/year>. What is concerning is the fact that Capital One allowed a card to be opened under my name, yet never updated me or looped me in on this fact. My online Portal does not show this account. The Capital One rep told me that this account was registered under my number to! I did not recieve any notification indicating this either. 

This matter has thrown a wrench at my plans of a home purchase and at my perfect payment history.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I made the second to last payment on XX/XX/year>. At that time after the payment my principal balance was {$130000.00} and the interest rate is 2.375 %. I made the XXXX due date payment on XX/XX/year>. When the payment was posted I was charged the same amount of interest as if I had waited and made the payment on XX/XX/year> or {$270.00}. The amount of interest should have accrued for 14 days is {$120.00}. So, they charge the same amount of interest eve if you pay early. 

My loan was sold to Freedom Mortgage fairly recently. I was aware of their reputation and am watching my loan closely. When I talked to them today, they explained that is just the way they do it. So realistically I could pay 10 payments today by making each payment separately and they would collect the amount of interest that would have been due on the date those payments were scheduled. 

What should happen is that I should be charged the actual amount of interest that accrues on the current principal balance for the number of days since my last payment. If this is how they are handling everyone 's mortgage they are collecting millions of dollars of interest not due and actually charging people resulting in a much higher interest rate than allowed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "
