Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the information reported, as well as the adherence to privacy regulations. I obtained my credit report it is reporting numerous inaccurate negative accounts. This has not only damaged my right to extend credit but it has made loose hope and trust within the banking system. I have been denied credit cards home loans because of this and my character has not only been defamed but my mental and physical health have suffered greatly.

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.

We were wrongfully charged for fees that were not valid by XXXX XXXX XXXX. We were sold USED equipment on XXXX and were told that it was new.

We have paid over {$650.00} for just shy of two months of phone service for two used phones. We feel this is gross misrepresentation of marketing promotions, and when we contacted AT & T NUMEROUS times, their representatives were inconsiderate and not interested in finding a resolution. We were put on hold, hung up on ; and finally, when we tried to file a dispute online on XXXX, we waited for over 30 minutes for the dispute detail to be accepted but it never was. 
ADDITIONALLY, we mailed a written letter with all documentation attached to XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, TX on XXXX and have STILL not received a reply!

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing this verified account pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I request that this inaccurate and unauthorized account be blocked or removed immediately. 
I have attached my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence. 
Under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, 1681c-2, and 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies must block or remove inaccurate and unauthorized information within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. Despite my prior complaint and attempts to resolve this with EQUIFAX, the following inaccurate and unauthorized account was verified on my credit report : Account Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX This verification is causing significant harm to my credit and financial opportunities. I have requested verification and contract copies from the reporting company, but after XXXX  days, received no response. This account was previously removed by other agencies due to lack of verification, yet EQUIFAX verified it without proper validation. This simple verification is illegal, as no evidence or written certification of my authorization for this account has been obtained. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the reinsertion or verification of previously deleted information requires written certification from the data furnisher confirming accuracy, and the consumer must be notified. This was not done in my case, violating federal law. 
I urge the CFPB to ensure EQUIFAX complies with the law by blocking this inaccurate and unauthorized account immediately and confirming the action taken.

Waiting person is spoken to them about this matter.I told them they need to know when the interests.I need that money going towards my principle not all on interest. They suggest to give another loan to pay the interest for that month. And maybe I can get back on top I was never late on any payments, but every payment I made on was on time and it all went on the interest, no one payment touched the loan. They said maybe they can bring the interest down by one percent.
