Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX in XX/XX/2020, disputing the validity of reporting this debt. There isn't any record of any contract or agreement with them and they have failed to provide any proof of validity. I also contacted XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX. There has been a failure of any response. 

They are also been in violation of the recent FTC ruling, by " debt parking ''. I wasn't contacted or made aware of this alleged debt any time prior to it being reported. In the recent case of FTC vs Midwest Recovery Systems, the court ruled that " debt parking '' is illegal and is a strategy known as passive debt collection. 

debt parking can result in a consumer only finding out that a purported debt exists when his or her credit report is accessed in connection with buying a car or home, opening a credit card, or seeking employment. While the debts may not be valid, consumers can feel pressured to pay them off. 

I have sent letters to all credit bureaus and this company and I am being ignored. I do not have the same power as them, but they are affecting my livelihood with something I do not owe. This has been fraudulent, and now they have created a history of using that to blemish my credit.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
For the Jetblue Credit Card with Barclay US, they provide zero online options for resolving transaction disputes or fraud. They require the customer to write a request to a postal address. This is very inconvenient and time-consuming. What if I do not have a printer or the resources to complete that task? Why is there not an online submission option like every other credit card? They encourage their customers to have paperless billing yet insist on non-virtual, all-paper processes.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2023 XXXX, I wanted to follow up on the results received from you and the other XXXX bureaus from my investigation, thank you for getting back with me within XXXX  days. 

I read that the process of the investigation is to reach every individual company to verify the accuracy of information. In accordance to FCRA, Section 611 A through D, you are supposed to let me know who you verify with. I ask you to delete anything that is not XXXX percent accurate. I had a lot of inconsistencies between the XXXX bureaus, below i have listed them out for you. 

XXXX  Date of Last Activity/Account Status/Date Opened I have now pointed out the mistakes so these need to be deleted not updated, by updating the terms is an admission of guilt and direct violation of my rights of a fair investigation.I am not sure how you can state it was verified.How is it possible that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX all verified the accounts above as accurate, but they all have inconsistencies in the reporting? In fact, there is no possible way a full investigation could have been done in accordance to section 611 due to the inconsistencies coming after my original request of investigation. 

At this point. I demand vou delete these accounts immediately or make the correct changes. Please forward me an updated credit report to my address after you have completed your deletions and corrections. 

Thank you,

They claimed to have verified the information on my report as accurate? I contacted the XXXX Bankruptcy Court,. I asked them about their reporting of information to the credit agencies.
