Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the XXXX main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 4-5 months.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute via post mail. Experian replied to my dispute on XX/XX/XXXX with the following : " We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. According to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, " '' if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a national consumer credit reporting company is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the company directly of such dispute, the company shall reinvestigate free of charge. '' '' Therefore, you can dispute any inaccurate information directly with Experian for free. If you believe that information in your personal credit report is inaccurate or incomplete, please call us at the phone number XXXX, or visit our secure web site to upload your documents at www.experian.com/dispute. '' However, Experian updated my personal information ( name - adding my full middle name that is on my drivers license ) after receiving my dispute that included a copy of my drivers license and utility bill. They can't say that they don't think it's me making the request but use in the information in my dispute to update my credit profile. This is a blatant attempt to stall my investigation and dispute request.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted LVNV Funding, letting them know XXXX XXXX XXXX cleared this matter. Infact, when I first contacted the CPFB regarding thisXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX let me know that it would be removed from my credit report ; which you can see ( attached is my current credit report showing that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has removed the account COMPLETELY from my credit report ). 

I have notified this to LVNV Funding multiple times ; and they refuse to remove the collection, as the debt was satisfied. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX can also be reached in this matter, as they know I made a complaint with the CPFB.

Secondly, LVNV Funding ( attached screenshot ) is now showing one missed payment. I have never made ANY payments to their company nor have I given them any authorization, ever, to take any money from my checking account or credit cards. This shows that they are in direct breach of the FCRA and my next step will be to hire an attorney if this is not removed from my report. 

As a side note ; I have disputed this with XXXX and XXXX and BOTH HAVE REMOVED IT FROM MY REPORT. The only one that has not is XXXX and it is DAMAGING my credit and I will hire an attorney if need be to reconcile damages from them for FALSE reporting on MY credit report and I want them to know this when you talk to them. 

This was a misunderstanding with XXXX XXXX XXXX  and HAS been rectified with CPFB through a previous complaint and 100 % removed from my credit report. LVNV FundiXXXX is falsely reporting this charge and it is NOT supposed to be there. 

****Please see attached previous complaint with CPFB and XXXX XXXX XXXX where this was already removed from my credit report 100 %. ******
