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

Complaint narrative:
Dear Credit Bureaus, I am writing this letter to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX, XXXX and Transunion for their refusal to provide me with validation of a debt. Despite several attempts to seek validation of this debt, XXXXXXXX XXXX  has consistently claimed that they do not have any obligation to provide me with such validation. 

It has been over 30 days since XXXXXXXX XXXX confirmed receiving my correspondence, and yet they have failed to provide me with any validation of their debt collection. I would like to bring to your attention that this is a clear violation of consumer laws that require creditors to provide validation of a debt upon request. 

According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), consumers have the right to request validation of a debt from creditors. This includes information on the original creditor, the amount owed, and any other relevant information. Failure to provide this information within 30 days of receiving the request is a violation of the FDCPA. 

In my case, XXXX XXXX has failed to provide me with any validation of their debt collection despite my repeated requests. Instead, they have sent me transaction records, which do not qualify as validation of a debt under the law. 

I would like to inform you that I will file a small claim requesting {$1000.00} for defamation and willful injury if this debt is not removed from my reports immediately. I hope that you will take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX and ensure that they comply with the consumer laws. 

In conclusion, I urge you to take this matter seriously and ensure that credit bureaus stand up for the rights of consumers. It is important that creditors are held accountable for their actions and that consumers are protected from unfair and illegal debt collection practices. 

I have attached all correspondence as well as screenshots of the laws pertaining to Validation, They have also admitted that they sent my debt to a debt collection agency Violating my rights AGAIN by sharing my no public information without my CONSENT, or providing me any proof of signed disclosures saying I authorize these actions Violating the Gramm Leach Bliley Act! 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
According to 15 U.S. Code 1681, Congressional purposes, it is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personal, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. There exists an obligation for the credit reporting agencies to conduct themselves in a manner that is fair and equitable to me. The continuous reporting of such information deems an improper utilization of my information which directly conflicts Congressional purposes and reasonable procedures. Prove that I received a delivery of goods ; come to my home and search for the goods they say I received possessions of goods of or come and see my computer or tap into my bank account so you can see what these alleged possessions are as is the requirement under 15 U.S. Code 1681 c-2 ( 1 ) ( C ). Please prove this! Hearsay is not admissible. This is according to the federal rules of procedure and evidence! Therefore, these accounts must be removed. You can not lawfully prove that I received a delivery of good, services and money. These accounts are not related to transactions by me, the consumer, therefore, as a result of this identity theft these accounts must be removed and blocked

Complaint narrative:
Please see the attached documents. 

Citibank advertised {$1500.00} cash bonus for a new account with a specified minimum deposit kept in the account for a specified amount of time. I have met the terms. On trying to resolve the issue, they claim that the promotion was valid for different dates, but I am attaching the flyer which clearly specify the dates during which I opened my account. 

This has been a horrible experience, taking up a lot of my time, causing stress and interfering with my usually peaceful frame of mind.

Complaint narrative:
I am a Credit Karma customer for over 10yrs. They have reported me my score, and I relay to their score! I was aware they tend to be conservative on the score. For over 2+ years CONSISTENTLY they have reported to me my credit score with XXXX had been XXXX points. I been diligent with my score and been building it over the years. Just this past XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by credit Karma my credit scores dropped XXXX points. I was choked, I felt devastated, I felt unconscious for a minute because I know I hadnt had any hard inquiry or anything to damage my credit score. I notified credit Karma and asked for an explanation of what had happen for such a change. They said they just read the reports XXXX sends them in a monthly basis. I contacted XXXX and they said nothing was wrong with my credit and they limited to tell me XXXX can not tell me what my credit was but they can assure they have not reported to credit karma any negative impact this month of XX/XX/2023. I contacted credit karma back stating I need an explanation why they have reported to me lies, they had me believe my credit was XXXX points with XXXX and credit karme just dropped XXXX points just because, they responded back stating they just follow the report from the XXXX agency. I feel bettayed, I feel hurt, credit karma certainly had lied to me with a false report for years. I trusted them.
