Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to formally dispute the recent credit reporting drop of XXXX points by TransUnion for the simple fact of them adding my student loans ( U.S. Department of Education ( ESC ) to my credit report unexplained drop in my credit score. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, TransUnion added several accounts from the U.S. Department of Education ( ESC ) to my credit report and automatically dropped my credit by XXXX points. These accounts, which are student loans, had already been accurately reported by other credit bureaus and are all in good standing. Despite this, the addition of these accounts caused my credit score to drop by XXXX points. 

This reduction in my score is both concerning and unjustified, as adding accounts in good standing should not negatively impact my creditworthiness. To clarify the matter, I contacted the U.S. Department of Education ( ESC ), who confirmed that the accounts were properly reported and that they see no reason why their addition to TransUnion 's records would result in such a significant drop in my score given the accounts have always been in good standing.. 

I have attached supporting documentation, including : -Details of the accounts in question. 
-Evidence of their good standing. 
-A comparison of credit reports from other bureaus where these accounts were already reported without any negative impact. 

This situation is highly detrimental, as an unwarranted drop in my credit score affects my ability to access credit and can have long-term financial consequences. I respectfully request that TransUnion review this issue, correct any errors, and restore my credit score to reflect the accurate and positive standing of these accounts. 

I look forward to your prompt resolution of this matter. Please feel free to contact me directly if you require further information or documentation.

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 : "
