Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Access and Disclosure of XXXX XXXX XXXX Violation of 20 U.S.Code 1232G ( FERPA ) To Whom It may Concern, I am submitting this formal complaint concerning the unauthorized access and potential disclosure of my XXXX XXXX records in violation of federal privacy las, specifically 20 U.S. Code 1232g, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ). I have reason to believe that on or about XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or someone acting on his behalf, obtained access to my federally held XXXX XXXX  data without my knowledge, consent, or any lawful justification. This breach of privacy involves information protected under FERPA, which governs the confidentiality of education records and prohibits any institution or agency receiving federal funds- including those under the U.S. Department of Education XXXX from disclosing personal identifiable information without the written consent of the student. To date, I have not received any documentation or notice authorizing such access. This activity is deeply concerning and appears to violate not only FERPA but also general consumer privacy protections including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.Code 1681 et seq. ) Transunion has also placed 90-120 in late payments on my account without properly receiving notice that I was late on any payments and for the past 4 months it has shown that I have been in Excellent standing with my loans. There are a total of 20 accounts that I am disputing. all 20 of these accounts are reporting delinquent all in a matter of one day. I have reason to believe that Transunion has violated my rights under 18. U.S. Code 894 Collections of Extensions of Credit by Extortionate Means. Specifically Transunion is reporting information on my credit file in a way that has severely damaged my personal and professional reputation. This reporting is being used directly or indirectly as a means to pressure me into repayment of a unverifiable debt The nature of the reporting has caused me emotional distress and created legitimate fear regarding my financial future, employment opportunities, an access to housing and credit. Under 18 U.S.code 894 It is unlawful for any party to knowingly participate in the use of extortionate means, including the threat of reputational harm, to collect or attempt to collect a debt. I believe XXXX actions and refusal to properly validate the alleged debt have resulted in the use of intimidation and coercion -- if not explicitly, then in effect.

Complaint narrative:
I had a debt with Mariner Finance and I fell behind and started working with a debt settlement XXXX XXXX XXXX and added Mariner for settlement. I sold my house and sent XXXX funds to settle my debts and they proceeded to negotiate with Mariner. Mariner refused to talk and would not settle. 

XX/XX/XXXX - After talking to lighthouse, I decided since Mariner wouldnt settle I would take the account off the program and pay it on my own. 

I went ahead and my payments to satisfy my late payments and bring the account current and Mariner. Mariner rejected the payments and sent me to collections the day, XXXX called to negotiate a settlement. I called Mariner and they said my account is closed and I have to speak to there attorney. I called the number provided and they havent contacted, my account is continuing to accrue fees and I havent been contacted to rectify the account.

Also, I was called repeatedly everyday by Mariner to make the payment at work and cell phone. 
I understand I owe them and was going to pay what was owed prior to all the access fees and made the account right and they wouldnt accept my payment.

I feel as this is unfair and deceptive practices when a consumer is trying to payoff a debt and refusing payment. I would have been up to date and able to payoff. Now Im left hanging unable to stop extra fees and legal charges.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of a XXXX XXXX account that appears on my credit report. This account was fraudulently opened in my name as a result of identity theft. I have been a victim of ongoing identity theft and have taken several steps to protect myself, including placing a credit freeze with all three major credit bureaus. Despite these protective measures, an unauthorized XXXX account was opened using my personal information. 

I was unaware of this fraudulent account until I began receiving calls from debt collectors and reviewed my credit report, where I discovered the unauthorized XXXX account listed. I immediately took action and filed a police report. I have also contacted XXXX directly and received confirmation from their Fraud Department that the account in question is indeed fraudulent. 

Despite providing documentation, TransUnion has thus far refused to remove the fraudulent account from my credit file. I am respectfully requesting a reinvestigation into this matter under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which grants consumers the right to dispute inaccurate information and requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation. 

This fraudulent account is damaging my credit and causing undue stress. I request that TransUnion remove the XXXX XXXX account from my credit report immediately and provide me with written confirmation of this action. 

Please let me know if additional documentation is required. I am eager to resolve this matter as quickly as possible and appreciate your prompt attention to this serious issue.
