Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — Inadequate help over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I had cable service with XXXX. When I returned the equipment because I was moving, XXXX said they would send me a final bill. I never got a bill, nor did I get a call from them ( I had the same phone number as when I was a customer ). My mail was being forwarded. The first I found that XXXX expected payment from me was when my account went into collection. I immediately paid XXXX, but the Adverse Account has ruined my credit. My account should never have gone into collection because I was n't billed or contacted, and therefore it should be deleted from my credit report. TransUnion refuses to delete the entry. XXXX, the collection agency, also refuses to request the entry be deleted because there 's nothing in it for them. I 'm not their customer so they do n't care that my credit is ruined.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Transunion via telephone on XXXX XXXX. Talking to the customer service rep to have them remove an OBSOLETE account- XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX is showing as account paid in full WAS a charge off. The date of first default on that account was XX/XX/XXXX. They were not helpful and trying to tell me date of last default was XX/XX/XXXX. I called Transunion again yesterday, and they also agreed that an account that old should be removed and it looked odd, but could n't remove it. I am requesting they remove it now. This is violation!

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection — Problem with fraud alerts
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
An extended fraud alert was placed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX with Transunion File # XXXX. I was told it would last 7 yrs : XXXX. Sometime between XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, an individual, who has been fraudulently using my Social Security Number for at least 12 years to try to open lines of credit and earn wages, was given access to my credit profile and was able to successfully change or add the name, address and fraud alert contact number to her own, therefore being able to successfully secure at least XXXX lines of credit with a credit card company. This is unacceptable and does not make any sense. I specifically named her as an identity thief with the FTC and Transunion going back to XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, a Transunion representative says they are " repairing '' my credit profile, but refused to provide me with a copy of the credit file showing how my information had been manipulated so that I could add this info to the policy report and further protect myself. The other credit bureaus ask you to mail in your requests - which is leaving an victim of identity fraud open to more fraud ( mail theft???? ). This is a thoroughly maddening and disappointing process and something needs to be done so that the credit bureaus start adding layers of fraud protection and identity verification. It is harder to change info on my email account than it is to change info related to my SSN. This is unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
I am a recipient of XXXX XXXX. My coverage renewal was mailed to me in XX/XX/XXXX. I had to fill out my XXXX renewal forms and mail it to : Mail Renewal Program, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX NY XXXX. I mailed my forms in on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX received it on XX/XX/XXXX. This form was sent to renew with my managed care program ; XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never received any updates via regular mail as I had requested when I signed up with my public assistance service. It was n't until I was inquiring on my coverage in XX/XX/XXXX that I found out that I no longer had XXXX Coverage. So, my coverage was canceled from XXXX XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I called my local social service office at XXXX XXXX and received the following status of my account:1. My mailed in application did not get processed after it was received on XX/XX/XXXX because it got transferred to the bottom of the list. 
2. On XX/XX/XXXX my account was noted under another persons name. 
I was then instructed that a new renewal form will be mailed out. I need to fill out and then return it. Weeks passed and I never received the duplicate renewal form. So I went into the XXXX XXXX office at XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NY XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to submit a renewal form in person, which I did. After I submitted this form, to my surprise, I received a renewal form again in the mail on XX/XX/XXXX. The reason why this is important is because during the time when my XXXX care coverage had been canceled from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX I made an appointment to see a Doctor who accepted my manage care coverage for payment. However, since I did n't have coverage during that point in time, now the doctor is billing me for the lapse in coverage of {$36.00} for patients with no health insurance coverage and {$320.00} for patients with healthcare coverage as what I have. XXXX XXXX is also billing me for {$77.00} for service rendered on the same date. Now XXXX XXXX and the Doctor is threatening to send my account to collections because of the payments not being paid. The account number for XXXX XXXX is XXXX XXXX XXXX invoice # XXXX. The date of service was XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX collection number is XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX ext XXXX Claim # XXXX service date XX/XX/XXXX. My XXXX Account # is XXXX My XXXX card # is XXXX. I am requesting that XXXX or XXXX be responsible for this bill since neither of them notified me that I no longer had this medical coverage. Had I know this, I would have went to a straight XXXX provider for medical assistance. Please send me a response back in the mail at my address : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX NY XXXX XXXX XXXX My phone number is XXXX XXXX XXXX Thank you.
