Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, a hard credit inquiry from XXXX XXXX appeared on my TransUnion credit report. I did not apply for credit with XXXX XXXX and did not authorize this inquiry. 

I immediately contacted TransUnion and disputed the inquiry, requesting removal unless XXXX XXXX could provide documented proof of my authorization. I cited my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding permissible purpose ( 604 ) and dispute procedures ( 611 ). 

This unauthorized inquiry appeared shortly after TransUnion disclosed a major data breach in XX/XX/year> that exposed millions of consumers personal information, including Social Security numbers. I am concerned my personal information was misused in connection with that breach. 

Despite my dispute, the inquiry remains on my credit file. I am requesting that the CFPB require TransUnion to provide proof of authorization or remove the inquiry, and to confirm the correction in writing.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing a complaint regarding a medical debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX, account number [ XXXX ]. 

Despite the CFPBs new rule effective XX/XX/year>, which prohibits medical debts from being included on consumer credit reports or factored into credit scores, this provider sent my account to collections. I am now receiving repeated collection calls from Synergetic Communication , Inc .

I am receiving frequent calls from the debt collector, which I believe may be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

I have never received a written notice about the debt from provider. Ask from collection agent to verify the information and received a short email, which I am attaching.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, our Wells Fargo account ( card ending in XXXX ) was repeatedly charged by a company named XXXX XXXX for bakery purchases totaling over {$2500.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, a charge of {$890.00} was attempted again, which triggered a Wells Fargo alert and resulted in our card being blocked. 

We had already stopped doing business with this company and had requested the charges to stop and be refunded. I contacted the business owner, XXXX, multiple times starting in XXXX. She initially claimed she was unaware of the charges and said she would involve her accountant. Later, she confirmed that her accountant would handle the refunds and provide an update. However, despite constant follow-ups ( documented in text messages from XXXX through XXXX ), no refund was ever processed. 

In one message, the business owner acknowledged the issue and promised action by tomorrow, but no resolution followed. I also submitted screenshots and proof to the business that my bank confirmed XXXX XXXX had received the funds, and provided them a summary of the last five charges. I received no clear answers or resolution. 

As of today, we have not been refunded. The last transaction from them was on XX/XX/XXXX, and our attempts to resolve this have been ongoing for nearly XXXX months. 

We are requesting assistance in recovering these funds and stopping any further unauthorized charges.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to formally dispute fraudulent information appearing on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. I am requesting that this information be blocked or removed immediately. Attached to this letter is my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC Report Number : XXXX as evidence of my claim. 
According to the referenced law, when a consumer submits a valid identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following account listed on my credit report is the direct result of identity theft and must be blocked immediately : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be blocked from my credit file without delay. The block should remain in place for a period of one year, with the option to extend if needed. During this period, no information related to this account may be reported. 
I have made multiple attempts to contact EQUIFAX to report this issue, but I have not received a clear or satisfactory resolution. 
I am currently going through a difficult financial time, and these accounts are seriously affecting my ability to achieve financial stability for myself and my family. 
Its important to note that other credit bureaus have already removed these accounts due to lack of verification, so I do not understand why this agency continues to report them as valid. Furthermore, I requested copies of any contracts or documents supposedly linking me to these accounts, and more than 60 days have passed without a response. 
I kindly ask for your support and understanding, and I urge you to take immediate action to block or remove these accounts. This situation is causing significant personal and financial harm.
