Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Specifically, Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.

State: IL

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). 

This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Company: Selip & Stylianou, LLP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
A man came to my door on XX/XX/year> claiming he had a delivery for me. Instead he handed me a stack of papers that looked like a legal document from the " Supreme Court of the State of New York. '' It was laid out like a legal document or summons of some kind, but didn't have any contact information other than the " attorney 's for plaintiff '' contact information which was Selip & Stylianou , LLP. Nowhere to show up to a court hearing or anything like that. It also said that if I don't answer judgement will be taken against me by default. 

I read through the documents and it didn't seem right for a real legal summons and then I noticed in small letters on the bottom of the first page where it said it was a communication from a debt collector. It was not a real court summons. Also, the debt in question as far as I know was charged-off by the company ( XXXX XXXX ) because I was laid off from work for a year. So I don't even think this is a debt that I actually owe anymore. 

Either way, it is very intimidating to send a XXXX XXXX to the door of a XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect a debt!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I successfully created an account with TransUnion using my accurate and verified Social Security Number and personal information. However, when I attempt to sign in to view or monitor my credit profile, the site states : " No credit profile found with the Social Security Number provided. '' This is incorrect and unacceptable, as I have an active credit history and reports with other bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ). I have verified all of my personal details and there is no reason why TransUnion should not be able to locate or provide access to my credit profile. I have also tried to contact their support, but their system offers no clear path to escalate this issue or get direct assistance. 

This has caused delays in my ability to apply for credit, monitor my financial health, and dispute any potential errors. I am concerned that this may be an internal error or a data breach issue and would like this investigated immediately.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have been a cardholder of the American Express Platinum card since 2018. A stated benefit of this card is " Trip Cancellation & Interruption Insurance '', which Amex states on their website " can help reimburse your non-refundable expenses purchased with the same Eligible Card, up to {$10000.00} per trip and up to {$20000.00} per Eligible Card per 12 consecutive month period ''. This policy includes coverage in case of injury or sickness. I have used my Platinum card for multiple international and domestic flights and hotels to take advantage of this benefit, including my recent trip with my wife to Hawaii to celebrate our 2-year anniversary and a XXXX ( our first child is due next month ). 

While on our trip to Hawaii, I started experiencing severe XXXX pain our first night there ( Monday ). My wife took me to the local XXXX, where I was admitted for treatment for XXXX  and XXXX. I had to spend 4 nights at the hospital receiving XXXX XXXX  to stabilize me before finally being released on Friday. While I was still impaired, my wife and I made the best of our last 3 days on the island. 

After returning home and seeing my local doctors to follow-up on treatment for my hospitalization, I submitted a claim for reimbursement ( Claim # : XXXX ) for the nights I missed at our hotels and the flight home ( the Amex representative on the phone said the flight should be covered ). I provided extensive records of my non-refundable expenses, flight itinerary, and medical records. My claim totaled {$8000.00}. 

After reviewing my claim, the adjuster ( XXXX ) agreed that my hospitalization was a covered event, but she denied the claim entirely and paid out exactly XXXX dollars ( {$0.00} ) because the fine print on the policy said I needed to 1/ make a change ( any change ) to my return flight home, and 2/ the hotel rooms were " used '' by my wife ( the hospital didn't allow her to sleep at the hospital with me, and she required a place to sleep. I escalated this up through two levels of management ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX, and they also denied the claim. Apparently if had I read the policy fine print instead of prioritizing my health during my XXXX, I could have simply 1/ changed my flight to a different time or day and 2/ booked an additional hotel ( at additional expense ) for my wife to stay closer to the hospital, and my claim would have been paid. 

This false advertising, plain and simple. Any reasonable person would expect some form of compensation and coverage from a " Trip Cancellation & Interruption Insurance '' policy after a 4-night hospitalization.

Complaint narrative:
Jp Morgan chase had used my acct without my prior consent or let me know through available modes of communication. 

This caused significant disruption to my incomi g payment checks due to which I could not pay my phone bill and also delayed ongoing job opportunities adversely. 

It disrupted the payments which were ongoing incoming in to my chase acct and caused delays to me receiving my payments. 

I only found out when I was trying to login to my chase acct. 

Upon inquiring and personally walking in to the branch the bank offered me wrong information saying that they will mail the check to my home address which was wrong information I verified with another bank employee and they said they can not do that. 

They could have informed me notified me in advance so I could let my job employers know that not to send deposits in to my acct Jp Morgan chase did not email me, call me ot leave me a message or send me postal mail before abruptly closing my acct. 

This had adversely delayed my work and bills.
