Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.
