Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/ I purchased a rocker/recliner online from XXXX XXXX  for {$300.00} using my XXXX XXXX credit card. The recliner was shipped to XXXX XXXX  in XXXX, NC XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. 

The recliner was sent back to the warehouse because I was informed by the manager named XXXX XXXX that I missed the four day time limit by one day. 
I was not informed about four day time limit. 

I did not get the recliner, but I received a bill for {$300.00} in XXXX. 

I made several attempts to XXXX XXXX Customer Service and to Comenity Capital Bank to try to resolve this matter by checking my account and to have this charge to be taken off of my credit report. 

My credit score went from XXXX to XXXX because it was fraudulent reporting. 

I received an email from XXXX XXXX  on XXXX  informing me that the information would be sent to the District Manager of the local XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was given a case number, but nothing has happened about the charge sent to the credit bureaus.

Company: Caribou Financial, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I received final refinance loan documents. These were completed and returned by prepaid FedEx provided on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, along with witnessed XXXX XXXX for the transaction and my vehicle title. 

On XX/XX/2022 I was called by the company and they requested that I change my insurance policy name to match my abbreviated name on my NY drivers license. I told them that the NY XXXX has always abbreviated my name because they can't fit my full name on the license. I also told them that my full legal name is on every document associated with this transaction, my license and my insurance have been this way for decades, that their request was completely unreasonable, unnecessary and that we could forget this whole transaction if they pushed this matter. 

Today I contacted the company to find out the status loan and was told " I took a look at your application and I found that it was closed after we attempted to get an updated insurance card, and we unsuccessful. This was needed to move forward with the refinance, and since we were unable to obtain it, your application was closed as a result. '' This company kept asking for more and more and more every time I spoke/texted or dealt ( emails ) with them. I do not think their name change request was ethical, moral and perhaps not even legal. My complaint is about these shoddy business practices.

Complaint narrative:
I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not remove the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the dispute letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the dispute letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy ... as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. TransUnion shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
This letter is to inform Transunion that they are breaking the law by reporting this bankruptcy on my credit report. 1. I never gave you or any other agency permission to put this bankruptcy on my credit report. You need a " permissible purpose '' or my written permission to report items to my credit report. 2. you have infringed on my right to privacy by reporting this illegal and inaccurate information. I recently wrote the U.S Bankruptcy courts and they informed me that they do not report to anyone. I went ahead and contacted XXXX. They said they do not report to anyone also. I then contacted XXXX XXXX and they too let me know that they do not validate anything from the courts. The 3rd thing that is wrong with this Bankruptcy being reported to my consumer reports is that you aren't even reporting the balance that is owed. Under the law, I have the right to fair and accurate credit reporting. So please help me understand how you are reporting this Bankruptcy on my credit reports when no one can validate it. If you can not provide me the information on who validated this account. 
1. Name of the person you contacted, business address, and telephone numbers so that I may follow up.

2. How did you contact the furnisher and verify my information?

3. What paperwork you used to verify my information? 
I would also like to know if the person you contacted gave my name, social security number and birthdate, and address. 
Since this information was obtained illegally and since it infringes on my right to privacy I want this Bankruptcy removed from my credit report immediately and provide me with an updated credit report. I appreciate you investigating this matter and giving it the attention it needs. Thanks in advance.
