Consumer complaint received 2025-04-26 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit file. 
The account in question is : Creditor Name : Continental Finance Account Number : Account ending in XXXX Reported Issue : Improper Repeated Charge-Off Reporting This account was charged off in XXXX of XXXX. A charge-off is a one-time event and should not be updated or reported as a new charge-off each month. This account was reported as a charge-off in XXXX of XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. Continuing to report a recurring charge-off inaccurately portrays my payment history and misleads future creditors. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ), information furnishers must provide information that is accurate and complete. Repeatedly reporting a charge-off as a new event violates this provision of the FCRA.

My XXXX XXXX PIN is XXXX. 
I have submitted online requests together with my XXXX XXXX PIN XXXX to permanently remove XXXX XXXX from my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  file and from my XXXX file on the following separate dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX if you wish to address these items. Also, on XX/XX/XXXX in the evening, I have received replies from XXXX XXXX XXXX and from XXXX to my earlier CFPB complaints, advising me that said organizations were not able to process my request for permanent XXXX XXXX removal because my PIN was not provided. The above issue clearly demonstrates that, despite my valid online requests to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, all of which included my XXXX XXXX PIN, the XXXX XXXX still hasnt been permanently removed from my XXXX XXXX XXXX file as of XX/XX/XXXX in the evening, and hence, XXXX XXXX XXXX online form for that purpose is indeed ineffective and doesnt at all do its job. Once again, my XXXX XXXX PIN is XXXX.
