Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding TransUnion and Equifax 's violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B and 611, due to their failure to address fraudulent accounts on my credit report despite proper notification and submission of required documentation. I disputed several fraudulent accounts and provided TransUnion and Equifax with all necessary documents, including a valid identity theft affidavit, proof of address, government-issued ID, and evidence linking me to a data breach. However, TransUnion and Equifax failed to block the disputed items within the four business days required by 605B and instead " verified '' the accounts without disclosing the sources or evidence of verification, violating 611 's mandate for a reasonable reinvestigation and transparency. Their actions contravene established precedent, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, which affirm the rights of consumers to accurate reporting and proper investigation of disputes. This pattern of non-compliance with statutory obligations and disregard for the CFPBs 2012 bulletin underscores TransUnion and Equifax 's failure to uphold consumer protections under the FCRA.

Company: MOHELA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and/or its contractors ( XXXX XXXX ) have violated my rights by mishandling sensitive personal data. This constitutes a significant breach of trust and a violation of my privacy. 

Furthermore, my student loans were transferred from XXXX to MOHELA without my informed consent, explanation, or the opportunity to dispute the action. This transfer has caused disruption to my loan account, confusion regarding repayment status, and further compromised my trust in the system that is supposed to protect borrowers like myself. 

As a borrower, I expect my personal information to be handled with the highest level of integrity and security. Any data breach or misuse of personal information related to my student loans represents not only a failure of duty but grounds for the immediate reevaluation and cancellation of the obligations tied to those compromised accounts.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX my wife deposited a check ( $ XXXX ) to our account. receipt says funds will be available XX/XX/XXXX and gave a couple possible reasons. The check came from my laywers account, it was a personal auto injury settlement from XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX the funds had cleared his bank and were then deposited into Chase. i have a picture showing this. ive talked to probably XXXX different people and gotten XXXX different answers, all if which were lies telling me why there was a hold, and the most common was the other bank wont tell us if the funds had cleared even though I know they have and one of the people said Chase received it on XX/XX/XXXX .. Now the main reason for a hold is because they need to check if there are funds in the account. We have established this thru the other banks clear and money into Chase a day later.. I still do not have these funds. It should not take 9 days in todays world to figure this out. I did it in 12 hours. Ive been a customer for 35 years and will probably be leaving after this.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.
