Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Recently, I took the time to carefully review my credit reports, and I was alarmed to discover numerous inaccuracies that do not reflect my actual financial history. I have always prioritized paying my obligations on time, yet the way some accounts are being reported is inconsistent, misleading, and in several cases unverifiable. I am submitting this dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., and I request a thorough reinvestigation of the following items.

Company: BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON CORPORATION, THE
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I initially tried to dispute charges from merchant play perfect inc on XX/XX/year>. I never received a denial letter or any follow up from fraud department, it took for me to call the fidelity debit card services team to be told my claim was denied because they couldnt substantiate fraud. I attempted to appeal via fax at that time. Still no correspondence or information. After doing a full review of my account, it looks like over {$9000.00} was taken by the merchant from my account. With credits of small incremental payment re-added to my account. I reached out to them again on XX/XX/year> but due to the amount and severity of this situation Id like this agency to oversee their investigation to ensure that this merchant refunds me fully. I also reached out to the merchant many times with no success in a connection. They appear to be based out of XXXX XXXX, XXXX with no actual headquarters in the United States

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I became aware of a collection account on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate and improperly reported. Upon discovery, I promptly initiated multiple disputes with the collection agency and credit bureaus to request validation of the debt. Despite these repeated efforts, the collection agency has failed to provide the legally required documentation, such as a detailed account statement, proof of debt ownership, or evidence that the debt is valid and mine. 
Instead of a proper response, I have received vague, non-responsive communications that do not address the issues I raised. The account continues to be listed on my credit report with inaccurate balances, dates, and status information, which is misleading and inconsistent with XXXX XXXX compliance standards. 
This failure to substantiate the debt and correct the reporting after multiple dispute attempts violates my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and other relevant federal statutes. The continued presence of this unverified collection is adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial wellbeing.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

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:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 


15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report. 


15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any. 
information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt. 

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report is showing late payment statuses that are inaccurate and not a true reflection of my payment history. I have made my payments on time as agreed, yet the bureaus and furnishers continue to report these accounts incorrectly. This reporting is misleading and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires consumer reporting agencies and furnishers to ensure maximum possible accuracy ( 607 ( b ) ) and to conduct proper reinvestigations of disputed items ( 611 ). These errors are unfairly lowering my credit standing and impacting my ability to qualify for credit on fair terms.
