Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

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.

Complaint narrative:
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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
My Cash App account has been locked since Sunday the XXXX and it now the XXXX, and I still can not access my funds. I was told by Cash App support that it would be unlocked within XXXX hours. It is now past that, and my account remains locked without any clear explanation or timeline. 

I rely on this account for essential expenses like transportation and food. Ive contacted support multiple times, and all theyve given me are automated responses or told me to wait longer. My parent ( who sponsors the account ) also contacted them and received the same runaround. 

This is money Ive earned, and Ive done nothing wrong. I just want access to my account and my money. The delay and lack of communication are unacceptable, especially since theyve confirmed the review is done but still havent unlocked my account.

Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint Summary 1. What happened? 
I submitted multiple disputes to XXXX Experian / Equifax XXXX TransUnion regarding inaccurate and fraudulent information on my credit report. I also provided supporting documentation, including an FTC identity theft report, police report, and proof of identity and address. Despite my request for a manual reinvestigation and a formal Method of Verification ( MOV ), the credit bureau failed to conduct a proper investigation. I also requested the removal of outdated personal information and fraudulent accounts stemming from identity theft and data breaches, but they failed to comply.

Furthermore, I filed identity theft reports and submitted them in accordance with FCRA 605B, which requires blocking of fraudulent data within 4 business days. These fraudulent accounts are still being reported, and I have not received adequate responses or verification. This agency appears to have relied on automated systems ( such as e-OSCAR ) without properly reviewing the documentation I submitted. 
I continue to receive alerts regarding unauthorized changes of address and dark web exposures of my personal data, which further supports the urgency of my case. 
2. What do you believe is the issue?

Credit reporting company failed to investigate a dispute Continued reporting of information that was not verified Failure to block fraudulent information after identity theft report Failure to update personal information ( address, name, etc. ) Did not provide requested Method of Verification Did not respond in a timely or complete manner
