Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Mailed letters on XX/XX/ and XX/XX/ to dispute inaccuracies on my account and each time I was mailed a stall letter saying they fell someone else as sent my information. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this complaint is a formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Complaint narrative:
Dear [ Credit Reporting Agency ], I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention some unauthorized inquiries that I have discovered upon reviewing my credit report. After contacting the respective creditors, it became evident that they have no evidence or proof of my initiation of these inquiries, nor do they possess any written authorization from me. Furthermore, they have failed to provide any permissible purpose for these inquiries.

In light of the aforementioned circumstances, I kindly request that you immediately delete these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. As per Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681b, consumer reporting agencies are only permitted to furnish consumer reports under specific circumstances, one being when a legitimate business need for the information exists in connection with a business transaction initiated by the consumer.

Additionally, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681i, Paragraph ( 5 ), in case of inaccurate or unverifiable information, the consumer reporting agency is obliged to promptly delete such information following a reinvestigation. Given that the inquiries in question are unauthorized and can not be verified, I kindly request their immediate removal from my credit report.

The unauthorized inquiries are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and I kindly request that you keep me updated regarding the progress of resolving this issue. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if any further information or clarification is required.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Rausch Sturm LLP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I'm not sure where to start here, this is the third time I've filed a complaint against these companies that have been violating my rights as a consumer for years. 
They take advantage of people like me, XXXX  who don't have the money to pay for a lawyer. 
Firstly, I never had a debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, my debt was with XXXX XXXX. I have requested evidence by telephone and by letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and its supposed lawyer Rausch Sturm and I have never received a response from them. 
In my last call XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I once again asked attorneys Rausch Sturm if they represented XXXX XXXX  and they said yes ( you can see the call that they supposedly record for quality purposes ). Furthermore, I was threatened by the lady who answered the phone saying that I should not worry about paying the debt that they had already taken to court and that my account was seized, that I would soon find out what they were capable of. A threat that I don't believe is under the law. The treatment of these people has always been threatening, unethical and discriminatory. 
I called XXXX XXXX  and they tell me that this debt has been closed with them since 2017 ( 7 years ago ) and that they have no relationship with Rausch Sturm or XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Second, my original debt to XXXX XXXX  was less than {$2000.00}. Rausch Sturm and XXXX XXXX XXXX are trying to collect more than {$6000.00}. Based on what and with what right do they do this? I asked about the possibility of reaching a payment agreement based on what I can pay and they told me that the only option was to pay the more than {$6000.00}. I can not do it because I do not have the money for it and I do not owe that money to have to pay it.. 
Currently my account is seized, my rent money was taken from it. I had to borrow money to pay my rent and now I find that my account is completely seized and I can't make any payments from it. I am the head of the family, my children ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and my wife will be left on XXXX XXXX and we do not even have money to eat because all the money that I have that was a loan from a relative is frozen. 
I have sent letters asking for exemptions due to my financial situation as I am the head of the family and that I earn less than {$600.00} a month with proof of my current situation and I have not received a response. 
We are a XXXX family, the government gives us XXXX  and medicaid and these people are trying to collect something that I do not owe and can not pay. What do you expect? Take my life? I have no options, I can't go under a XXXX  with my children.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate and unauthorized information on my credit report, which violates my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, I did not authorize XXXX, XXXX, or Equifax to include the following accounts on my report : - XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The open dates, dates of last activity, and other details for these accounts are incorrect. Under 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), credit reporting agencies must modify any inaccurate or unverifiable information on a consumer 's report. 

Furthermore, including these accounts without my consent violates : - 15 USC 1681 section 602A, my right to privacy - 15 USC 1681 section 604 A section 2, which prohibits furnishing an account without written consumer authorization - 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), which limits reporting adverse information over 7 years old - 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ), which prohibits furnishing known inaccurate information Additionally, repeatedly contacting me about these alleged debts at my place of employment violates 15 USC 1692c , which prohibits communication at an inconvenient time or place. Contacting my family members about these debts violates 15 USC 805 ( b ), which prohibits communication with third parties. 

I request that you immediately delete these unauthorized accounts from my credit report to ensure accuracy and compliance with the FCRA. Please provide me with an updated report reflecting this correction. Accurate credit information is essential for me to obtain credit and employment, and I appreciate your prompt assistance in resolving this dispute.
