Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
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.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in Cushman v TransUnion, Stevenson v. TRW ( XXXX ), and Richardson v. Fleet, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

disputed numerous charges that I did not authorize, specifically for a subscription I never signed up for. Ive been charged {$9.00} since XX/XX/year>, along with other charges. However, Apple wont provide the merchants phone number so I can contact them directly. Instead, they issued a provisional credit, which they later charged back to my account.

Apple never reached out to me for additional information via text, email, or phone. They also refuse to give me the phone number of anyone who might contact me, making me doubt they even attempted to follow up on the disputes. I emailed supporting information, but they never responded.

Complaint narrative:
Me and my husband were renting an apartment from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and moved out of said apartment in XX/XX/XXXX. We sent an email to our community manager on the move out date asking them if there was anything else we needed to do. We did not get any responses other than asking for a forwarding address, which we provided immediately. In XX/XX/XXXX, 6 months after moving out, we got an email asking us to pay an amount of {$610.00} as move out charges. We immediately emailed the community manager asking them for an explanation, which we were never provided with. We are attaching emails asking for this info to this complaint.

Our lease said that any move out charges have to be communicated within 21 days of move out which never happened in this case, instead we were sent to a debt collector COLUMBIA DEBT RECOVERY. When we disputed the debt with the credit bureau we were told that the debt will remain. We are seeking a removal of this debt from our credit reports and asking that XXXX and Columbia remove these charges since we were never informed about these charges in a timely manner.
