Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have tried many disputes to have these claims properly investigated as they were unauthorized charges. The original creditor and the credit reporting bureaus have all ignored my pleas to go deeper into these fraudulent charges. Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX have displayed unfair practices by not properly investigating and continuing to report fraudulent information on m credit report. The original creditors have since then charged off these amounts and continues to report as a derogatory mark on my credit reports. I owe no balances to this company after paying them off in XX/XX/year>. I called them and requested they do a proper investigation as I didn't use any more credit for these accounts. My request was never granted and I have been disputing with this company for a very long time now. I was aware of the data breaches with XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX but I didn't think to check my report because I didn't see any changes or red flags with the companies that reported breaches. I also didn't think these breaches would cause changes or unauthorized use of accounts that were on my credit report. The several calls I placed to the original creditors back in 2022 solved absolutely nothing. I even tried disputing the inaccurate information through the payment history showing that none of the information from all three major credit bureaus match across the board. That alone should have prompted the deepest investigation possible. I have now involve the FTC and attached documents for the original creditors and credit report agencies. I have been treated unfairly and my consumer rights have been blatantly violated. The stress from all of this is weighing very heavy on my mental well being. To have to go through great lengths to have serious negative derogatory information to remain on my credit report that's causing me to not qualify for any thing that I apply for. I am so scare to unfreeze my credit reports because I don't want to deal with something like this ever again. At this point, I don't care how XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX gets this time, I will not give up until all the inaccuracies have been removed. I will never use my credit to apply for anything else every again because it's too stressful to deal with disputing fraud that never gets properly investigated.
