Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to file a dispute regarding the inaccurate information being reported on my credit report by XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 607, 609, 611, 623, and 628, requires furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies to provide accurate and complete information. However, XXXX XXXX has violated these provisions by inaccurately reporting my monthly payment balances to TransUnion and XXXX, while XXXX reports a different balance. Furthermore, XXXX reports that the account terms are revolving, while XXXX reports that the payment is due monthly. TransUnion, on the other hand, did not report the account at all. 

I was shocked to discover that all three credit bureaus reported that I was 30 days late on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, when in fact, I made all payments on time. This erroneous reporting has had a significant impact on my credit score and has made it difficult for me to obtain credit and loans. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX with account number XXXX. The information being reported is not only false but is also having a detrimental impact on my life. 

According to TransUnion and XXXX, my payment status on this account is charge off, yet I have never received any notification from XXXX XXXX regarding this charge off account, nor have they provided me with any paperwork related to it. This violation of Section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) has caused significant distress and XXXX as it has left me in the dark about the state of my finances and the potential consequences of this charge off status. 

Furthermore, TransUnion is reporting a high credit balance of {$1500.00}, whereas XXXX did not report this information at all. In addition, TransUnion is reporting the Date Last Active as XX/XX/XXXX, whereas XXXX is reporting it as XX/XX/XXXX. These inconsistencies violate Section 607 and Section 623 of the FCRA, respectively. 

This false and incomplete information is having a negative impact on my credit score, making it difficult for me to access credit and causing me undue stress and hardship. It is affecting my ability to secure a loan for a much-needed home renovation project, which is crucial for my family 's safety and well-being. 

I urge you to enforce the legal protections provided by the FCRA and ensure that XXXX XXXX provides accurate and complete information to all three credit reporting agencies. Additionally, I request that these unverified accounts be removed from my credit report. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: T.S. Holdings
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I never received a letter by mail or anything prior regarding a right to dispute from IQ DATA International IN. They called my employer maybe about two months ago and when I called back to check what it was regarding they were rude and told me I had no choice but to pay it. I hung up. Now it is showing on my credit for {$3500.00} and I have no idea what it is for. Today, XX/XX/2023, around XXXX, I contacted their XXXX number and the representative told me that he did not have any information to verify the debt. When I asked what my option was to verify the debt he told me that I can dispute it or write a letter to the company asking them to verify the debt. When I asked the representative for the address to send the letter he told me he did not have the address, wished me luck, and hung up on me. When I called back, another representative answered and told me the same but discouraged me from writing a letter saying that " sending a letter will cause the lender to say that I confirmed the debt was mine '' and that it was " not the safe thing to do. '' He told me that he sees it happen all the time and tried to encourage me to file a dispute through him at a charge. When I asked what the charge would be, he kept insisting on me giving my address first so that he can send me some paperwork. I told him I would just call back and he told me to be careful when I call back because " they will confirm the debt. '' All of this sounds like harassment and lies.

According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal they do NOT furnisher people 's information to 3rd party so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. You all can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. You all are a secondary bureau that houses consumers information. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this.
