Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX  2025, the Department of Education and other federal agencies accessed and shared information related to my student loans and education ; this was done without my prior knowledge or consent. 
Such an act constitutes a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ), and thus a breach of the original loan contract.

Under my FERPA rights and as a result of these actions, I believe these loans to be null and unenforceable, and that I am no longer responsible for them.

I have disputed the accounts ( 3 loan accounts ) with XXXX  previously via a TransUnion credit dispute, to which the company declined to take action.

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 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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
b"Dear \nRef: LOWES Credit Center (my Lowes rewards)XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Bureau Name: XXXX XXXX XXXXnI am writing to formally request a correction to my credit report regarding an account with Lowe's Credit Center.\nRecently, I paid off my credit card account with Lowe's, for which I had previously requested a payoff amount. After paying the balance in full, I received a refund check for $XXXX due to an overpayment. However, shortly thereafter, I received a bill for XXXX. Upon contacting Lowe's customer service, I was informed that this bill was an error and assured that it would be removed from my account within 30 days.\nUnfortunately, upon checking my credit report a month later, I found that the error had not been corrected. I reached out to Lowe's customer service again and was told that the matter would be resolved within another 30 days, but the issue remains uncorrected. As a result, Lowe's has reported my account as being 30-60 days late, which has negatively impacted my credit score significantly.\nI kindly request that you contact Lowe's Home Improvement on my behalf to facilitate the removal of these negative remarks from my credit report. I believe this information is inaccurate and does not reflect my payment history with them.\nThank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response confirming the correction of my credit report.\nSincerely,\XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Georgia XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: The Phoenix Recovery Group
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a collection account listed on my credit report by Phoenix Recovery Group. The amount being reported ( {$1300.00} ) is incorrect. This debt originated from a property management company, who acknowledged an error in the billing amount after I contacted them by phone and email. They stated they would correct the balance, but no revised bill was sent, and the incorrect amount was later forwarded to collections. 

I have disputed this multiple times with both the collection agency and the credit reporting bureaus. However, my disputes were dismissed without proper investigation, as the verification process relied on the original creditor, who failed to correct the billing. 

I am requesting that this account be either corrected to reflect the accurate balance of approximately {$300.00}, or removed entirely from my credit report, as the currently reported amount is factually inaccurate and damaging to my credit profile.
