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

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry.

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 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:
I am writing to have the following information removed from my credit file, the items that I need to have deleted will be attached in a pdf document. I have several accounts that I DID NOT apply for listed on my credit report. My information was exposed in the Equifax Data Breach and as a result someone opened up several fraudulent accounts in my name. I ask that these items be deleted so my credit report will only show accurate information. I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and have also enclosed copies of the report. According to FCRA 605 B this information must be blocked within 4 days. Equifax has been slow in responding to my request via postal mail so now I'm involving the CFPB. This inaccurate information is causing me lots of stress and discomfort and embarrassment.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding a Discover Bank account being reported on my credit report, which is not mine. I have filed a verified FTC Identity Theft Report ( XXXX XXXXXXXX ) listing this Discover account as fraudulent. Despite providing Discover with this documentation, they continue to report this tradeline in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681c-2, which requires deletion or blocking upon receipt of such notice. 

Discovers justification rests on limited internal records such as a copy of a check and allegations of online application activity. However, they have not produced legally sufficient validation under FCRA or FDCPA standards, nor have they provided the original Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) disclosures required under 15 U.S.C. 16311632 and Regulation Z. If Discover asserts that this is my legitimate account, they must also prove that all material terms were disclosed at origination, which they have failed to do. 

Additionally, this account has been charged off. Under IRS regulations, this could have required a Form XXXX for cancellation of debt income. Discover has failed to address whether such a form was filed, raising further compliance concerns. Their continued furnishing of this derogatory data without fully validating ownership or standing also fails under XXXX XXXX reporting standards and e-OSCAR reinvestigation procedures, further violating FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ).

I request that the CFPB direct Discover to permanently delete this tradeline from all consumer reporting agencies and to provide evidence of compliance with TILA, FCRA, IRS reporting, and proper dispute investigation protocols.

Complaint narrative:
To TransUnion, This is an uncompromising CFPB complaint demanding urgent and immediate action. Under the strict and non-negotiable provisions of FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), TransUnion is ordered to block and remove the fraudulent information on my credit report within an inflexible deadline of four business days upon receipt of this complaint. The fraudulent accounts, which must be eradicated without hesitation, are : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$640.00}, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX {$3100.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX {$650.00}, XXXX XXXX {$900.00}, XXXX  XXXX {$420.00}. The following inquires are not authorized 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 XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year>. ) These fraudulent accounts have resulted in unauthorized hard inquiries and false collections tarnishing my FICO credit report. I emphatically reject any insinuations that I authorized these accounts, emphasizing that they are irrefutable evidence of identity theft and fraud. Enclosed is the FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint ( XXXX XXXX ), undisputed documentation from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission proving the fraudulent nature of these accounts, collections, and inquiries. Failure to act with immediate and decisive force to block and obliterate this fictitious information from my credit report will not be tolerated. Should TransUnion fail to respond within the stated time frame, be prepared for relentless and aggressive legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA. This is a final directive, not a request.

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 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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Kohn Law Firm S.C.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a collection account from XXXX XXXX XXXX appearing on all three of my credit reports. The account is linked to a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX allegedly opened on XX/XX/XXXX. I have never had any affiliation with XXXX or XXXX XXXX  and did not authorize this account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted disputes to the credit bureaus and contacted XXXX requesting validation of the debt. Instead of providing proof, I received a summons dated XX/XX/XXXX, issued by Kohn Law Firm S.C. on behalf of XXXX. The summons was served on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) and was signed for by my son, who did not alert me immediately, attempting to not upset me. 

I completed an FTC Identity Theft Report on XX/XX/XXXX, and submitted a fraud affidavit with supporting documents. Despite this, XXXX and its legal representatives have continued collection and legal actions without verifying the account or acknowledging the fraud. 

This violates consumer protections under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I am requesting the following resolution : * Cease all collection activity * Dismiss legal actions * Delete this account from all credit reports * Provide written confirmation that the account is resolved as fraud

Complaint narrative:
I have identified serious billing errors under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) on my credit report, including unverified late payment marks and the creditor 's failure to accurately reflect payments and credits. Despite my prior formal request for evidence substantiating these late marks, the creditor has failed to provide any legally required proof of investigation or verification. Furthermore, the creditor did not issue a proper billing statement at least 21 days before the due date, as mandated by law, rendering any late payment reporting invalid. This blatant disregard for accurate reporting is unacceptable. I demand that these inaccuracies be immediately corrected by updating the items to 'Paid as Agreed ' or removing them entirely from my credit report.
