Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a formal complaint with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX regarding XXXX unauthorized credit inquiries that appeared on my credit report. These inquiries, dated XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, were made without my knowledge or consent. Concerned about these unexplained entries, I requested proof of authorization and questioned the accuracy of the entity names listed on my report. 
In my complaint, I highlighted the critical importance of safeguarding personal information and ensuring compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Given the seriousness of the issue, I escalated my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) for further investigation. 
By sharing my experience, I hope to raise awareness and assist others who may face similar challenges with unauthorized credit inquiries and issues related to credit reporting agencies. 
It is essential to understand that the name of a company must exactly match the name of the registrant as specified in its legal documents, such as articles of organization, articles of incorporation, certificates of formation, or charters. If the company name on a credit report or legal document does not precisely match the registered name, it may not be legally recognized as the same entity. This distinction is crucial because it can differentiate between a legally recognized organization and a nonexistent one, potentially invalidating contracts, disrupting the enforceability of agreements, and complicating legal proceedings. Ensuring the correct legal name is used, especially on consumer credit reports, is not just a formalityit is a fundamental legal requirement that protects the integrity of financial transactions and upholds consumer rights.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding issues with TransUnion 's credit scoring practices. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against TransUnion for Unfair Credit Scoring Practices Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against TransUnion regarding what I believe are unfair and inaccurate credit scoring practices that have negatively impacted my credit report and score. 

When XXXX XXXX was removed from my credit report between XX/XX/2024, and XX/XX/2024 TransUnion took XXXX points from me.when negative accounts are removed your scores are supposed to go up. Between XX/XX/2024, XX/XX/2024 an Fraudulent hard inquiry was removed from my credit report. Hard inquiries are worth XXXX points. All of my accounts are in good standing. Our credit system is broken. I've also noticed when you file a complaint against these companies, I fill that they are retaliating against consumers and that's not professional at all. I'm uploading screenshots so you can see what I'm talking about. 


The impact of these practices have had an negative impact on my creditworthiness and ability to secure loans or credit. 

I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with TransUnion such as disputing inaccuracies, contacting customer service, etc., but have not received a satisfactory resolution. 

I believe it is essential for credit reporting agencies to uphold fair and accurate reporting standards, and I urge the CFPB to investigate these practices to protect consumers like myself from any harm caused by inaccuracies and unfair scoring. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and any assistance you may provide. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX If this matter isnt resolved myself and my Attorney are taking the next steps
