Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In early 2023, my SSN and identity were stolen, and I have had to deal with fraudulent accounts and credit cards constantly since then. In XX/XX/2023, I was alerted to a new suspicious balance of {$7400.00} on my credit report apparently with XXXX. I've only ever been under my family 's phone plan, so I immediately knew this balance was not related to me. I also have no knowledge of how it was even possible for this account at XXXX to be opened under my name, since I have had a credit freeze/lock on my credit report with both XXXX and Transunion since XX/XX/2023. I went to file a dispute with Transunion in XXXX XXXX and they did not change anything on my credit report and claimed all information was accurate ( which it was not ). Then I filed a second report on XX/XX/2023, and it yielded the same result. Transunion not only allowed for someone to falsely open a massive balance under my name and information despite the freeze, but has also taken no action to help remove this disputed information from my credit report. None of the {$7400.00} balance due to XXXX was opened by me, and it's not even remotely related to anyone in my family 's account. This was clearly opened by the person who stole my identity, as they have previous experience with trying to open accounts at telecommunication companies. They previously tried to open a large balance with XXXX using my information, and I was able to dispute that, but now I Transunion is not assisting me with this fraudulent XXXX account . Please can you help me with this.

Complaint narrative:
I requested a copy of my consumer reports and I've notice i have some unauthorized inquiries that i did not initiate! I believe i may be a victim of identity theft and I would like these unverified and unauthorized items to be removed. I have listed the items I would like to dispute below.The items I am disputing do not relate to any transactions that I have made or authorized. Please remove this information at the earliest possible time. 
18 U.S. Code 1028A - Aggravated identity theft- ( A ) ( 1 ) Whoever, during and in relation to anyfelony violation enumerated in subsection ( c ), knowingly transfers, possesses, or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person shall, in addition to the punishment provided for such felony, be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years. 
XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; THIS IS DEFAMATION OF MY CHARACTER AND I WOULD LIKE ALL UNAUTHORIZED ADDRESSES AND INQUIRES REMOVED FROM CREDIT FILE. ACCORDING TO 14 U.S.C. 1681 g ( a ) ( 5 ) A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY SHALL NOT FURNISH TO ANY PERSON A RECORD OF INQUIRIES IN CONNECTION WITH A CREDIT OR INSURANCE TRANSACTION THAT IS NOT INITIATED BY A CONSUMER. Under section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) explains that the permissible purposes listed in FCRA section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) are consumer specific, and it affirms that a consumer reporting agency may not provide a consumer report to a user under FCRA section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) unless it has reason to believe that all of the consumer report information it includes pertains to the consumer who is the subject of the users request. The Bureau notes that disclaimers will not cure a failure to have a reason to believe that a user has a permissible purpose for a consumer report provided pursuant to FCRA section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ). This advisory opinion also reminds consumer report users that FCRA section 604 ( f ) strictly prohibits a person who uses or obtains a consumer report from doing so without a permissible purpose.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I have received your computer-generated 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 no confusion or stall tactics on your end. 


I wrote to the below creditors requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reported. To this date I have not received a response. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on their part to grant an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy.
