Consumer complaint received 2024-08-05 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Citi Bank closed my accounts a week after opening them. They never gave me an explanation just that I will recieve my funds in the mail within 60 days via a check. I received said check and noticed it's not even half the funds that were in my account. I had {$9700.00} in the account and received only {$2700.00} via check. So they blatantly just took my money and I can't even ask them about it because in order to talk to customer service you have to have an account with them. Which I don't because they closed it.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Several years ago I was the victim of identity theft, and as a result I froze my credit with the 3 major bureaus. Now in order to apply for a new credit card I am attempting to remove my freeze. I have been unable to remove a freeze from my Equifax despite many attempts to rectify the situation. Their website says something went wrong when I try to login. Their phone number is automated and completely useless for resolving the situation. I have tried uploading my ID and utility bill to prove my identity but have received no response. It is frustrating that a company that is so unresponsive can block my access to credit.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally request your assistance in resolving an ongoing issue with credit bureaus regarding the removal of inaccurate bankruptcy information from my credit report. Also presenting copies of identification documentation such as Drivers License with current address, utility bill with current address, and ssn card. Despite my repeated attempts to address this matter since XXXX directly with XXXX, Experian, and XXXX, they have failed to take appropriate action. 

For your reference, my personal information is as follows : - Full Name : XXXX XXXX - Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - Date of Birth : XXXX - The specific bankruptcy listing in question is associated with the file number XXXX. 

Under 15 USC 1681 section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies must have permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer information. I question who provided these agencies with permission to include a bankruptcy filing on my credit report. According to documentation I received from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, they do not report data to credit reporting agencies. 

Furthermore, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that they have filed a dispute on my behalf, but neither XXXX nor I have received any response from the credit bureaus. This lack of response is concerning and further demonstrates the failure of the credit reporting agencies to address this issue promptly. 

This inaccurate information has negatively impacted my creditworthiness and has caused significant distress. I have repeatedly requested the removal of this erroneous bankruptcy entry, yet the credit reporting agencies have failed to comply. 

I respectfully request the CFPB 's assistance in investigating this matter and ensuring the immediate removal of the inaccurate bankruptcy listing from my credit report. I also seek clarification on the permissible purposes under which the credit reporting agencies included this information and demand accountability for the persistent inaccuracy. 

Enclosed are copies of my correspondence with the credit reporting agencies, the documentation from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and the letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
