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

Complaint narrative:
Transunion XXXX XXXX are reporting this account as a debt that I owe that is incorrect. I have previously disputed this account previously and each time it is stated that it is verified but thats not true. Now this will be my final attempt at getting these XXXX companies to follow law as it is outlined. I deny each and every claim that I am indebted to any financial institution. The fact is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX received a security from me which is a receivable off books so they XXXX securitize it. If XXXX XXXX XXXX took an assignment of said security then they would be required under federal law to file a XXXX XXXX financing statement to prove possession of the account. This complaint will become an official part of record for any future court hearing I decide to pursue. I do not owe you a debt and you can not prove otherwise. I will give you 14 days to remove this collection or I will summons both companies to a federal court where the individual representing each party with need to swear in to attest to the fact you stated in your reply. I will not be extorted or bullied into paying a collection account that is fraudulent by the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Experian for their failure to block a fraudulent XXXX XXXX account from my credit report, despite my submission of all required documentation. This account, with the account number XXXX, is a result of identity theft, and Experian has not acted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to address this issue. 

Details of My Complaint Proof of Identity Theft : I have submitted the following documentation to Experian : Proof of identity, including copies of my driver 's license and Social Security card. 
Proof of residence at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Texas XXXX for the past two years.

A Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Affidavit.

A police report confirming the identity theft. 
Denied Requests : Despite providing the above documents, Experian has denied my request to block the fraudulent XXXX XXXX account. Instead, they have treated my block request as a dispute and returned it as verified without any context or proof that the debt belongs to me. 

Improper Verification Process : Experian has failed to conduct a proper investigation. The fraudulent XXXX XXXX account was verified by Experian without thorough verification, contrary to the requirements of the FCRA. 

Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Experian 's actions violate several provisions of the FCRA, including but not limited to : Section 605B ( 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 ) : Failure to block the reporting of information resulting from identity theft within four business days upon receipt of appropriate proof.

Section 611 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) : Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of the disputed information.

Section 623 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ) : Furnishing information with actual knowledge of errors and failing to update and correct inaccurate information.

Request for Immediate Action I respectfully request that Experian : Block the fraudulent XXXX XXXX account ( account number XXXX ) from my credit report as required by law. 
Provide written confirmation that the fraudulent account has been blocked. 
Cease any further reporting of this fraudulent account to all credit reporting agencies. 
I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter urgently and take appropriate enforcement action against Experian to ensure compliance with the FCRA and to prevent further harm to consumers like myself. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I was unsure as to whether or not this complaint should be " filed '' under the store credit card or under the consumer credit-reporting agencies. 

I am 69 years of age, and keeping an unblemished credit score for the past 55 years is something in which I take great pride. 

Prior to this situation, my credit score was XXXX. 

Due to not having received a monthly statement for two consecutive months from my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX from what I've been able to gather was for a balance of ~ {$57.00} -- my once unblemished credit score took a XXXXpoint nosedive to XXXX. 

A drop in my credit score from XXXX to XXXX -- over a balance of {$57.00} -- seems very heavy-handed to me. 

I've chatted with XXXX ( on XX/XX/24 at XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/24 at XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX XX/XX/24 at XXXX ), and one other employee of XXXX. 

Simply stated, I am infinitely more concerned about my credit score than I am with a {$40.00} late fee and minimal interest. 

When I chatted with XXXX, she explained that according to her computer, the two statements that I didn't receive were, in fact, sent to me by XXXX. I know I didn't receive them. Although I wasn't thrilled with sharing the following, I said : " OK. Let 's accept that you sent me these statements. Do you have proof that I received them? '' My personal policy is to pay my c.c. balances only upon receiving statements. Mind you, for many months, my XXXX balance was {$0.00}, as this c c. is one that I use only at XXXXrelated retail stores. 

It was also shared with me that, " When an account is 30 days past-due, the account is reported to the credit-reporting agencies! '' Lastly, XXXX " removed '' a late fee of {$16.00} as well as interest of {$2.00}. 

And yet, my credit score dropped from XXXX to XXXX ( XXXX points ) over a balance of less than {$60.00}. 

I appreciate your assistance in advance, XXXX
