Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" I reviewed my consumer report and informed your agency on [ insert the date thats on the last letter ] about the items I disputed. Despite this, the issue remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me as required by the FCRA. I sent a notice to your agency, including a FTC Identity Theft Report, and also filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau CFPB. With this letter I have also included a FTC Affidavit to further substantiate my claim.

Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

Your agency has clearly refused to follow the law and honor my previous request so I am requesting a reinvestigation and demanding your agency to explain your METHOD OF VERIFICATION in verifying these items, pursuant to the Fair Credit. ''

Complaint narrative:
I was alarmed to find these inaccurate late payment remarks on my credit report this morning without any explanation. As part of my routine, I reviewed my report, but this time, I noticed discrepancies that hadnt been there before. Hoping it was just a system glitch, I refreshed my browser, yet the errors persisted. Because of this, I am requesting a thorough verification of the documents I have provided so that I can put this issue behind me.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because there are multiple hard inquiries listed on my Transunion credit report that I did not authorize. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b ( c ) ), a company must have my written permission before performing a hard inquiry on my credit. These companies failed to obtain that, and I have no relationship, account, or application with them. I previously contacted the credit reporting agencies and the companies listed, but these inquiries have not been removed.

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased airline tickets thru XXXX, financed with Affirm. The intent was not to pay this absurd interest rate, rather to transfer the final amount to my personal credit card. 
I've contacted customer service three times and each time I was told I could not payoff using my personal credit card. They said only ACH or Debit Card. I do not use a checking account. 
My savings is a non-transactional account and debit cards are not issued on savings accounts. 
I simply want to pay this off. None of the customer service reps would even discuss it. In fact, I asked for a suggestion as to how I was supposed to pay this off. Then, being the good consumer I am, I asked for the number to the collection department because 1. My account is going to be past due if I can't make payments ; and 2. The collection department typically does not turn away money when someone is trying to payoff. That request was denied. 
I was informed that it was disclosed that you can not pay by credit card. I must have missed it, if that clause exists. I confirmed that they do allow some of their loans to be paid via credit card. I even asked if we could change the type of loan to where I could payoff. Again, the answer was no. 
I feel this is unfair, deceptive and an abusive act or practice. Not only do I not have a way to make monthly payments, I feel this trickery is a game to make me pay the 31.99 % interest.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion is reporting two charge-off accounts on my credit file that I believe contain inaccuracies or unverifiable information. The first is listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX ( account ending in XXXX ) with a charge-off date of XX/XX/XXXX and a balance of {$0.00}. The second is XXXX ( account ending in XXXX ) with a charge-off reported as of XX/XX/XXXX, with a balance of {$6700.00}. 

With respect to the XXXX XXXX XXXX account, the fact that it shows a {$0.00} balance yet remains listed as a derogatory charge-off is contradictory and misleading. If the account is settled or paid in full, it should not continue to be reported in a manner that negatively affects my credit standing, particularly without clear indication of resolution. Reporting a charge-off with a {$0.00} balance, without specifying resolution details, can distort my creditworthiness unfairly. 

As for the XXXX account, I have not been provided with original, detailed records validating the legitimacy of the charge-off status or confirming how the amount reported was determined. I have attempted to obtain more information regarding the accuracy of this item, but TransUnion has not furnished adequate verification, which is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information.

These accounts may also reflect systemic data errors or remnants of poor record-handling practicespossibly exacerbated by broader data management vulnerabilities, such as those stemming from data breaches that continue to impact the integrity of consumer credit files.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am only receiving my widow 's pension at the moment and just started receiving it a few months ago, so have been setting up all of my autopay accounts. When I do the companies have tried to put the payment through a few days before the date I tell them to set it up for as I get paid the last XXXX  of the month and have early access to my money two days ahead. So, of course they have caused me several overdraft charges from doing this and some from sending the payment through twice, which I have asked PenFed to reverse as they will not provide overdraft protection to me as my credit score is not perfect due to my being taking off work on medical leave in XXXX and then losing my job in XXXX. My credit score was perfect prior to the illness I experienced which then caused a couple of accounts to get behind. I don't use credit much anyway. Then three businesses did the same over the last several weeks, so Penfed now has charged me not only a {$10.00} fee, but also three {$30.00} fees ( {$90.00} ), which I am requesting they reverse, but when I called the rep kept me on hold for half an hour then only reversed one of the three, so only {$30.00} and said that is all they could reverse. I am a twice-widowed almost XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and prior XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX!! If they can not give me the overdraft protection until my state pension starts, they need to reverse the fees if a company sends the payment through early. They need to stop trying to make money off of old widows and make it off of their military or current government workers who have LOTS of money!!!

Complaint narrative:
Formal Debt Validation Request Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g To Whom It May Concern, This letter is being sent in response to your attempt to collect an alleged debt from me. I am formally requesting validation of the debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g. This is not an admission of liability for this debt, and I am requesting that you cease all collection activities and reporting to credit bureaus until this matter is resolved.

Under federal law, you are required to provide the following : 1. The amount of the alleged debt.

2. The name of the original creditor.

3. A detailed accounting and documentation that proves I am legally obligated to pay the debt.

4. Verification that you are authorized to collect this debt on behalf of the original creditor or that the debt was legally transferred to you.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1692e, it is unlawful to use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation in connection with the collection of a debt. Unless and until you provide proper validation, any attempt to force payment or report this debt to credit bureaus may constitute a direct violation of the FDCPA.

If you continue collection efforts without validating the debt, I will not hesitate to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), my state attorney general, and may pursue civil legal action for damages.

Please respond in writing within 30 days of the receipt of this letter. I also request that any future communication be conducted in writing only. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
