Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My credit score has dropped significantly and I'm trying to reach out to the companies but it only looks like they're automated services that are available. Doesn't look like I have any debts or have any major negative marks on my report recent or in the past. I've had excellent credit for many years so I don't understand what changed in the last few weeks and I can't get anyone to explain it either. 

I'm trying to get the credit companies to tell me what exactly happened. 

I know recently I've been in a victim of identity theft so I'm curious if that's the reason why or something else. Either way something is clearly wrong and I can't get the credit reporting companies to help me. 

Thank you so much

Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/XXXX I have tried to get the credit bureaus Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to stop violating my rights by reporting INACCURATE information. The credit bureaus keep sending me updated credit reports that shows they didn't do any " real '' investigation nor care that they are hurting hard working consumers who pay their bills on time. 

It is UNFAIR that every 30 days since XXXX, I have to take time to send letters, ID and etc to ask for them to delete XXXX XXXX account # XXXX from my credit report. I have sent bank statements ( PROOF ) that I was never late. 

I understand that the credit bureaus want to make money $ $ $ $ off of me by reporting false credit information about me. So I will contact every agency I know and an FCRA attorney if needed because this is my 3rd attempt to have this account deleted. 

I received my investigation back and updated credit reports. You stated that you completed a fair investigation, and this account is now 100 % accurate. 

I need to know how did you investigate this account? 

I sent you my bank statements to show that I was NEVER LATE, but I didnt see any proof that I was late from XXXX XXXX.

Did you ask XXXX XXXX # XXXX to supply their accounting records or you just took their word? 

Did you interview my neighbors? 

Did you interview my friends? 

Finally, how is it possible that everything is 100 % accurate for XXXX XXXX account # XXXX when my credit reports show the following inaccuracies : 1. Date Opened 2. # Of Months ( terms ) 3. Last Reported 4. Date Last Active 5. All credit bureaus are reporting something different for months XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 

You have violated multiple laws : 15 U.S. Code 1681 15 U.S. Code 1681a 15 U.S. Code 1681i 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a ) I demand you delete this account from my credit report immediately!

Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: NCB Management Services Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Had a Auto loan with XXXX. The car transmission failed and I contacted them to see if they could extend the payment to allow me to save and par for the XXXX repair that was quoted by XXXX. They refused and said no, they could not do it so I told them they can come and pick up the car. All this was during the pandemic and I noticed on XXXX XXXX that the loan was written off as a bad debt. I was surprised they wrote it off as a bad debt while the car was still in my driveway. About 6 -8 months later, I woke up and the car was gone. My complaint is the fact that they violated the law by not letting me know the car would be sold at an auction. I did not receive a letter until after the car was sold, Nonetheless, the interest rate that XXXX charges on consumers is outrageous. They have also sold the loan to a collection agency which I am confused about. I would be more thank happy to work with XXXX on resolving this issue but I think its unfair that this doesnt was sent to collection after the car was sold and written off as a bad debt and without notifying me of the auction.
