Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

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.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was charged interest on my credit card account when the account was entirely paid off. The account had a balance of {$440.00}. On XX/XX/24 I paid {$100.00}. On XX/XX/24 I paid XXXX. The entire remaining balance. XX/XX/24 is my payment due date. On XX/XX/24 I was charged {$7.00} in interest, yet there was no balance owed on the account. I contacted them and was ignored and told to pay the money. Then contacted again to get another agent and was told it was interest. When I explained you cant charge interest on {$0.00}, they told me I was charged interest on my balance. I asked for a supervisor and was denied. So I hung up and called again, again asking for a supervisor. After sitting on hold I was told someone would contact me in 24 hours or less. A week later I get an email from someone claiming to be a supervisor, they list the payments and amount owed and then tell me it was interest. They completely contradicted themselves by saying the dates that it was paid off. So there was no balance on the card to charge interest on. They told me this would be resolved right away yet now they reported late payment to my credit hurting my credit badly. I paid the interest ( which they now doubled with late fees! ) of {$16.00}. Which was fraudulently charged. I want my money back and this company should be fined for its illegal charging of clients.

Issue: Electronic communications — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: Estate Information Services, LLC
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I have received odd calls from this firm, or persons representing themselves to be this firm, before over the years. I suspect someone either has me confused with another XXXX XXXX, or is simply trying to do fraud. 

Today 's very low quality, muffled call was hard to understand. The originating on caller i.d . was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX today XX/XX/XXXX. Fake phone number. This comes up as a " not in service '' number. The company he claimed to be calling for was ESTATE INFORMATION SERVICES, a firm located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and whose actual number is apparently ( XXXX ) XXXX, He claimed to be named " XXXX '' or something very similar. The " spoof '' number suggests this might've been a real representative, and the apparent " chain '' number he gave, which I struggled to hear and record, led to EIS, so...

It was a discussion of a deceased person whose first name was " XXXX '' but whose last name I could not interpret. I know a few people named " XXXX '', mostly just acquaintances, and only XXXX is a cousin I barely know. She is very much alive. There is surely no one whose whereabouts or status can be contributed, and there is no one with that first name for whose debts I am remotely responsible. It was effectively a harassing call. 

It may be yet another case of mistaken identity. I have not been to Ohio for over XXXX years, never bought much more than a meal there, and have no mortgage or overdue bills of any kind. 

Went ahead and blocked any and all numbers I could find for this firm. 

This seems to be a scam of some sort, or perhaps just stupid.
