Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX has persistently refused to provide an accounting of this item, the correct balance, and insurance billing statements that show payments. It is clear they have little or no information and can not reconcile the correct amount owed, if anything. 

This is a medical debt. Repeated efforts through Experian, XXXX and XXXX to verify and update this account on my credit file have gone nowhere and they close the dispute without properly investigating it. I know this because each time, XXXX sends me a letter asking for any information I have about the account. This would have to come from the original creditor, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

If XXXX XXXX are reporting to the credit bureaus it is incumbent upon them to have all the facts. They do not, and they continue reporting unverified/unsubstantiated information about me and are simply running out the clock in an attempt to force a recovery of some amount on an old and poorly documented record.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with customer service
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I received a notification about potential fraud with my card, along with a notice that my card use was restricted if I did not act immediately, My options were to confirm the transaction or report it as fraud. The name of the merchant was listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Given I live in Illinois and do not own a XXXX, I markd the charge as fraud. Almost instantly, I received a notice from XXXX ( XXXX ) saying my charge had been declined. 

It turns out, that Apple/Goldman Sachs reported the wrong merchant. While the problem with XXXX ( XXXX ) was resolved quickly, Apple and Goldman Sachs invalidated my card number used for about 90 % of all transactions. When I contacted custoer service, they stated they could not solve the problem AND stated that it was because the merchant name on a website or store did not have to match what was on the statement. This excuse did not address the true problem that I had acted on false information they sent me. 

The problem is that I now have to track down dozens of accounts ( including insurance policies, automated payemnts, subscriptions, and so on. The amount of time and effort needed to cure this is tremendous, and may well result in late fees, reinstatment fees, or cancellations unless I go through 14 months of statements to try to figure out every singl place I used the card.

None of this would have happened if Apple and Goldman Sachs had not misidentified the merchant. They offered ZERO help and ZERO  compensation for their obvious error. To add insult to injury, they disconnected the chat before I could finish explaining the situation.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

Failure to provide to me these documents along with certified proof of contractual agreements between myself and all of the below listed alleged creditors shall constitute admittance that this consumer reporting agency is reporting inaccurate and unverifiable consumer information and shall be removed and deleted immediately to comply with the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) legislation.

\nI demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below.

The below listed accounts by the Original Creditors, who have reported these accounts within my credit reports, do not belong to me in part or in whole. Let it also be noted that I did not give my authorization for anyone else to open these accounts.
