Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
On Sunday XX/XX/year> I was downtown XXXX celebrating my mom birthday at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX where I went to a gas station down the street ( the transaction XXXX  for {$4.00} ). I started to receive messages asking did I authorize some purchases ( attached file ) I replied no but somehow the reps at SoFi still let them take the money out of my account. I had to wait until the charges were done pending to start my dispute process in which the reps at SoFi denied saying everything checked out. Its no way possible to be in XXXX  and XXXX XXXX at the same time theyre not even close XXXX hours away to be exact. The investigation couldnt have been thoroughly investigated because now I have to send proof but if it was thoroughly looked over youll see I was making purchases in XXXX  while I was being scammed by someone in XXXX XXXX. For your representatives to tell me that I indeed made these transactions and its nothing they can do about this is very distasteful and unprofessional. Its now a whole new week and for some reason its just not SoFi problem to get my money back. Im also attaching the transactions and a voice recording of speaking to your reps. I really hope that you can help clear this situation up but Im about 1 more upset before I take legal action.

Thats what I sent to the CEO of SoFi but thats what happened.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Several companies have gained unauthorized access to my credit report, directly harming both my credit and credit score.

The continued presence of these potentially fraudulent entries is highly alarming and strongly indicates possible identity theft. This ongoing failure to address the matter is causing me significant emotional and financial harm.
