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

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

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:
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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally requesting the removal of inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated accounts currently being reported on my credit file. These accounts are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681, which requires that all information reported to consumer reporting agencies be accurate, complete, and verifiable.

Despite my good faith efforts to dispute these accounts directly with the credit reporting agencies and/or furnishers, they have failed to provide proper validation or correct the information. Under the FCRA, if an account can not be verified, it must be removed from the credit report.

Additionally, this situation may also constitute a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) if any of the accounts are being pursued by debt collectors engaging in misleading, harassing, or unlawful conduct.

These reporting errors are causing ongoing harm to my financial standing, limiting my access to credit, and creating undue stress. I am requesting the CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly and apply the appropriate regulatory pressure to ensure compliance.

If this issue is not resolved promptly and in accordance with federal law, I am fully prepared to pursue legal action against the entities involved, including but not limited to claims under the FCRA, FDCPA, and any applicable state consumer protection laws. I will also seek damages for any financial and emotional harm caused.

I expect these unverifiable or inaccurate accounts to be permanently removed from my credit report immediately. Please treat this complaint with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX Social Security Number : [ Private ] Date of Birth : [ Private ] Subject : Request for Blocking of Fraudulent Information Under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Dear [ Credit Reporting Agency ] , I am submitting this formal complaint in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), to request that you block certain information from my consumer credit report. This information is the result of identity theft and must be removed within four ( 4 ) business days of your receipt of this request.

The disputed information includes a personal credit card account that was fraudulently opened in my name, as well as several unauthorized hard inquiries and collections that have subsequently appeared on my consumer FICO credit report.

I do not recognize these accounts, collections, or inquiries, and I did not authorize or initiate any of them.

These entries are fraudulent, inaccurate, and not reflective of any legitimate financial activity on my part. They are entirely the result of identity theft.

To support this request, I have included the following documentation : A list of the fraudulent hard inquiries in question A copy of my consumer FICO credit report showing the disputed accounts, collections, and inquiries A copy of the FTC Identity Theft Report ( Complaint # [ Private ] ) verifying that I am a victim of identity theft and that the above items were fraudulently created Please act promptly in compliance with FCRA 605B and block all fraudulent accounts, collections, and hard inquiries as outlined above from my credit file. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.
