Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

I have previously submitted a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) concerning unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. The reference number for this complaint is ( FTC Complaint Number ), filed on ( FTC Complaint Date ).

After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : Disputed Inquiry : XXXX XXXX  - XX/XX/year> Basis for Dispute Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report. 
Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made. 
Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My checking account was originally opened as a joint account with the mother of my child. She and I are no longer together, and the account was changed from a joint account to a single account in my name on or about XX/XX/year>, with the other partys consent. I recently had an overdraft, which was an oversight on my part. Initially, I was unaware of the overdraft, because I did not receive notification. I found out about it because Citizens sent email notifications to the mother of my child, not me. I attempted to contact Citizens on multiple occasions to correct this, but was unable to get through due to long hold times. According to my online banking, this is a single account in my name, and I will attach a copy of my statement as proof of this. The email notifications should only have been sent to my email address on file, but were sent exclusively and/or additionally to XXXX, which belongs to my childs mother. These notifications included account-specific information, violating GLBA. There were at least 6 notifications sent to the unauthorized 3rd party that I am aware of, but possibly more occurred.
