On XX/XX/year>, I took out a {$7300.00} title-loan through TitleMax ( servicing XXXX XXXX XXXX ). TitleMax did not provide the required written disclosures of my one-time extension right, APR, finance charges, or payment-application policy.

None of those payments reduced my {$7300.00} principalTitleMax simply treated them as renewal fees. 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent TitleMax a formal, certified-mail letter demanding : An itemized accounting of every payment Id made. 

Reapplication of all past payments to my principal balance with a corrected payoff statement. 

Copies of all disclosures required under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX.

Meanwhile, my next payment is due this weekend, and without relief I face imminent repossession despite having paid more than the original loan amount.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

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 Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding unauthorized hard inquiries that were made on my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or any permissible purpose. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), a credit reporting agency may only furnish a credit report when there is written authorization from the consumer or a legitimate purpose clearly permitted by law. These inquiries were made without my explicit written consent, in direct violation of this provision : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Additionally, the credit reporting agencies involved have failed to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). This continued reporting of unauthorized inquiries represents willful and negligent noncompliance, as outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 15 U.S.C. 1681o. I am demanding the immediate removal of all unauthorized hard inquiries from my credit report. If the entities that made these inquiries can not provide proof of my consent, they must be deleted in accordance with the FCRA. The FTC site is currently unavailable, which is why I am unable to create an FTC Identity Theft Report at this time, but this complaint should be treated as part of an ongoing identity theft matter requiring prompt investigation and resolution.
