Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax and TransUnion for their continued reporting of an inaccurate and unauthorized debt associated with a XXXX timeshare loan under the account listed as XXXX on my credit reports. This debt is being reported as open and owing in the amount of {$48000.00}, despite the fact that XXXX has officially closed this account and retained the membership in satisfaction of the balance. This information should have been updated months ago, yet both bureaus continue to report the account as active and delinquent. 

Additionally, this account should not appear on my wife XXXX credit report at all. She did not sign any loan documents related to this purchase. We explicitly stated during the XXXX  upgrade that any financing should be solely under my name, and the XXXX sales agent agreed. XXXX was only to be listed as a co-owner for membership accessnot financially liable. 

XXXX misrepresented the structure of this ownership, and now this loan is being reported against XXXX without her consent or legal obligation. This misreporting has caused serious damage to her credit score and created financial stress for our household. 

I have contacted XXXX about this issue and was told the account was closed, and the inventory was retained in satisfaction of the balance. Yet Equifax and TransUnion continue to report the balance as open and unpaid, and refuse to remove XXXX as a responsible party despite her lack of legal liability.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I am filing this complaint because the credit bureaus ( Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion ) have failed to comply with my repeated requests to remove paid accounts and unauthorized inquiries from my credit report.

These agreements clearly stated that the accounts would be deleted upon payment. 

I have submitted : Copies of the Pay to Delete letters Receipts of payment Confirmation correspondence from the collectors Despite this, the accounts remain on my credit reports, which is a violation of the agreements and causes ongoing damage to my credit profile.

In addition, I have disputed multiple unauthorized and outdated inquiries, which the bureaus have failed to remove or properly investigate, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
