Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, Discover bank notified me about possible fraudulent charges. There was 3 charges. 
XXXX. XXXX - {$10000.00} - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX - {$9900.00} - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX - XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Discover Bank did send me a statement of unauthorized debit for all 3 transactions. Discover Bank did refund me for the first 2 transactions ; however, I was notified that they would not refund transaction XXXX ( {$5700.00}, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ). According to Discover, there was " No indication of account take over, No indication of unusual online activity, and Transaction is going toward a service or account that benefits the account holder ''. That same notification said that I would be entitled to the documents that were used to make this decision. 
After calling Discover Bank, I was told that I owned the account at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX that the money was transferred too. I have never knowingly been a customer of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I did ask for the documentation used by Discover to make the decision to to refund this transaction, but I was told that no documentation existed for this case. I was told to call back in a couple of days to get a trace ID of the transaction. In the mean time, I was instructed to call XXXX XXXX XXXX and get proof that I am NOT a customer of the bank. 
I did calXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and when they searched my name, they found I did not have an account with them and have not had an account with them for at least 3 years. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to actually send me any documentation to prove this, probably because I am not a customer of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 
When I contacted Discover two business days later, I did receive the trace ID for the transaction ( XXXX ). When I relayed that information to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  there was no record found of the transaction. Again, I could not get documentation of this, only verbal confirmation on the phone. I do have a reference number for the phone call with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX confirming no records ( XXXX ), but Discover bank is unwilling to use that info, they need physical documentation. 
At this point, I just end up going back and forth between banks. Discover will not reopen the dispute without documentation of me NOT being a customer of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ( I did upload a FTC Report of the case to Discover, Report # XXXX ), and when I contact XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX they are hesitant to work with me because I am not a customer. They say that Discover bank needs to investigate this through the proper banking channels ( which I tend to agree with ).

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Compliance with Federal and Texas FCRA Identity Theft Laws Dear LVNV, I am writing to address the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, in clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Texas identity theft and finance laws. This unauthorized action by LVNV has been executed without my explicit consent, directly violating Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA, Sections 392.301 and 392.305 of the Texas Finance Code, and the Texas Penal Code Section 32.51 on identity theft.

Under federal law, Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA mandates that consumer consent is a non-negotiable requirement for any entity reporting information to a credit bureau. Texas state law aligns with these protections, with Section 392.301 of the Texas Finance Code reinforcing the necessity of consumer authorization in all reporting actions, while Section 392.305 further delineates the standards for lawful credit reporting practices. Moreover, Texas Penal Code Section 32.51 underscores the criminal implications of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, marking this as a serious offense under state identity theft statutes.

I firmly assert that I have not given consent for LVNV to report any information to my credit profile, making this unauthorized reporting a blatant violation of my rights. Such disregard for legal standards has not only compromised my credit integrity but also exposed LVNV to accountability under both federal and Texas laws.

I am demanding the immediate cessation of any further reporting activity by LVNV to my credit report. LVNV must comply with federal and Texas statutes requiring explicit consumer consent, as stated under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Sections 392.301 and 392.305 of the Texas Finance Code. Should there be failure to address this within the required 30-day period, I will interpret this as deliberate noncompliance, subject to legal penalties, including those outlined in Texas identity theft laws.

Consent is not discretionary in these mattersit is a legal obligation. I expect LVNV to act in strict adherence to these laws and to uphold my rights as a consumer protected under federal and Texas law.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 
In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the item listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ITEM? I believe you have not verified this item based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/XXXX, there was a large amount of water usage documented at my property, incurring a total charge of {$1300.00} with late fees included. I reached out to the company to dispute the charges back in XXXX XXXX, with no response from anyone. I was told my concern was pushed up to supervisor and they would contact me but that never happened. They sent a tech to check the water meter and I was told the meter reader was fine. After that, I waited for a phone call and/or email but nothing. Fast forward XX/XX/XXXX my account was sent to collection with no justification. I recently sent a personal letter to the company, including a letter from the property management company that was in charge of the home during the time the charges occurred. 

This company has been unprofessional, unresponsive, and horrible with assisting me with my dispute. 

Please reach out to me for additional information at XXXX and/or by phone at XXXX.
