Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
There are several listings on my consumer report that I did not consent to being reported by credit reporting agencies. My consumer right has been violated : 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purpose which states that three criteria must be fulfilled before credit reporting agencies can disclose to your consumer report - obtaining written consent from the consumer, sending required disclosures before reporting, and disclosing my right as the consumer to opt out. None of these criteria were met before reporting said listings. Upon disputing these reports based on their reasonings, I was told that these listings were " verified '' and they remained on my report despite never having my written consent to disclose information to my consumer report, and despite never giving me notice of my right to opt out of said disclosure. 

These listings include all collection reports, all closed accounts, and all late payments that have been disclosed to my report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax, in writing, requested that I provide additional information to verify my identity. Per their latter to me, dated XX/XX/2022, my identity does NOT match the information that they have on file. 

This is preventing me from establishing an online account with them, so their response makes no sense. 

When attempting to create an online account, this is the message that is displayed : " We can't complete your request at this time. Please call the Customer Care team and mention error code NH. '' I have attempted to resolve this multiple times over the phone and each time I call in they say they are having technical difficulties. 

I need a full credit report from them and what they are reporting as my credit score. I had a negative outcome when a service provider issued a soft credit check with them and the result was negative. I need to determine why this is happening. I can not do so if I can not access my account online and I have not been able to resolve this by calling. 

I have sent the requested information via the USPS - Tracking number XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Ive worked very hard to pay off everything I owe in the world, paid all delinquent accounts, and negotiated with creditors to update the information on my credit report in a timely manner, or delete them where they should be. Unfortunately, XXXX, XXXX, and to a lesser extent Trans Union update the information at their convenience or dont update the information at all. I have gone so far as to obtain letters from the different creditors for whom I needed to update information and supplied those to all three of those credit reporting agencies, and followed up with the phone call and a dispute to make sure the information was corrected. I was met with disdain for even asking why the information hadnt been updated, and still it hasnt been corrected. I check the different agencies for my updated credit score, and in spite of the fact that Trans Union has a visible credit score of XXXX for me, from what I can see on the consumer site, there are still newer, different, and unknown scores and notes, among other information and loopholes, by which these agencies manage to deny you credit and good standing in the eyes of creditors. Most people dont even know there are credit scores or FICO scores other than what you can see when you pull your own credit. It seems to me they dont want you to be able to repair your credit, and by the current system, with all their internal methods of keeping all those scores down, make it impossible to find good standing if youve ever had issues. With the understanding that its a major undertaking to correct the current system and its many loopholes and underhanded methods by which they report, Ill be XXXX if Im not going to be able to buy a home for my family because of their methods to keep me down. This needs to be addressed, and for myself, it needs to be addressed NOW!
