Transunion is violating my consumer rights. They are fraudulently letting XXXX  XXXX management number XXXX report a fraudulent account on my credit profile. I have never heard of this company, nor should they have any information of mine. I was suspicious so I looked this company up on my Secretary of State website and seen that they aren't licensed to do business/collect a debt in my state. They are illegally doing business in Michigan. I'm asking you to enforce to enforce the laws on Transunion for failure to investigate as I'm a federally protected consumer. I will also be reporting both Transunion and XXXX  XXXX to the IRS filling out form 3949- A information referral for unreported income since Transunion gets paid from this company and this company isn't licensed to do business in my state, leads me to believe they are exporting people for money and not reporting it to the IRS XXXX I will also be reporting both companies to the Attorney General and Better Business Bureau. I attached proof that XXXX  XXXX isn't allowed to do business in my state. If the account isn't removed in 30 days, I'll also be filing the attached forms to sue both companies for defamation of character. They are making me look noncreditworthy to other lender and I have been denied credit due to this matter. It has caused me great emotional distress and my doctor has prescribed me Trazodone because I haven't been able to sleep at night due to the financial and emotional harm these XXXX companies have caused. I know that XXXX  XXXX pays Transunion to report inaccurate information and Transunion refused to give me a fair investigation for their financial gain.

Specifically, Cash app failed to take timely and effective measure to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected. Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E.

Complaint narrative:
The following accounts have unauthorized charges made to them which are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX &XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX. 

The CFPB sues Experian for Sham investigations.Experian conducted sham investigations rather than properly reviewing the disputes as required by federal law, Experian routinely and uncritically accepts the original furnishers response to the disputed information, even when that response was improbable or illogical on its face, or when Experian has other information available that suggests the furnisher is unreliable. At the conclusion of the investigation, Experian sends consumers notices that fail to inform them of the investigation results, and instead provides information that is confusing, ambiguous, incorrect, or internally inconsistent.
