Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

There are certain clear and conspicuous disclosures that this creditor was supposed to provide me with 21 days prior to my statement due date that I didn't receive which is a violation of 15 US code 1666b.

Also 18 US code 8 states that the obligation of this day is already paid for by the United States.

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX in regard to their debt collection practices. The bullet points of that previous complaint were they never provided me proof of debt owed when requested, they called me repeatedly -- frequently calling XXXX times or more within a XXXX period attempting to collect this debt, threatened to contact family members as well as calling me before XXXX and after XXXX. These are all violations of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 

In my initial complaint I attached a call log from their phone number XXXX showing all the missed calls coming from their company in XXXX,XX/XX/XXXXI'm also attaching an updated missed call from their company that took place yesterday ( XX/XX/year> ) at XXXX am which is before XXXX. 

The company responded to my initial complaint on XX/XX/year> stating I filed a complaint against the wrong company. I filed my initial complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. The very next day on XX/XX/year> for the first time ever they emailed me attempting to collect a debt -- which I screenshotted and am attaching. 

If I filed a dispute against the wrong company on XX/XX/XXXX, then why the very next day is this company emailing me attempting to collect the debt I'm disputing? XXXX XXXX XXXX pretended like I wrongfully filed a complaint against them and since that time I've received more email communication from XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as repeated phone calls attempting to collect a debt I do not owe. 

This company is corrupt, liars and are shysters They are using deceptive methods to attempt to collect a debt. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, prior to XXXX XXXX XXXX responding to my complaint on the CFPB website, that day I filed a separate complaint against them on the Better Business Bureau. It was only then that XXXX XXXX XXXX decided to respond to my CFPB complaint and they very clearly lied in their response. 

I am attaching documents showing the XXXX XXXX XXXX missed call log of XXXX XXXX, calls received before XXXX -- along with their attempted email collection practices clearly showing they know who I am, and that I did not file a complaint against the wrong company.
