Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I got a letter in the mail for a Civil Action Information Subpoena, and I mailed back the questions they requested. On top of the letter it states that " Failure to Comply with this information subpoena may result in your arrest and incarceration '' It is for Discover Bank their attorney sent this letter. I called my Superior court to get information on this and spoke with someone there about it. They told me a Judgment has already been filed and i never submitted a answer to the court and they already entered it against me. I never got any letters from the attorney saying they were going to take legal action and I was never physically served any paper work or signed any certified letters. I never got anything saying I had a court date and never received a complaint or anything telling me to file a answer with the court. I would have filed an answer if I was sent the correct documents stating I needed to. They are saying they are going to garnish my wages. The account was charged off and I have not since heard or received anything regarding it. I also wanted documentation showing my agreement and that I owe this debt so I will be requesting a debt validation letter. Also it states that I owe {$2300.00} plus costs of which {$2500.00} together with interest from XX/XX/2018. I am unsure how I owe more money on debt that was charged off, and my account is closed. I was never notified of having to pay any Judgement and was never told there would be added interest.

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

Complaint narrative:
15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction. ( 1 ) In general.The term consumer report means any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumers credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living which is used or expected to be used or collected in whole or in part for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing the consumers eligibility for credit.

Now my concern is why my consumer report and credit report are talked in two different aspects. From the previously stated congressional statement the credit report cant exist without the consumer report. So the governing laws of the consumer report should govern the credit report as well.

Well there are violations on the way my credit report is being used without my credit consent. Looking deeper into the code 15 us code 1681a section 2 ( exclusions ) Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report.

My consumer report ( credit section ) has transactions and experiences between me the consumer and the person making the report. These accounts are in violation and need to be corrected in 10 business days from the time this notice is received.

In closing Im enacting on my consumer rights of having a accurate consumer report, that reflect my credit worthiness. This is a notice informing you of the error and chance to cure this error. Failure to cure will show civil liability for willful non-compliance.

I am not convinced that you have suitably fulfilled the policies of the Fair Credit Reporting Act in doing your evaluation.

I called TransUnion last week to complain about how they share my non-public information and tonight i go to my mailbox and in there is a letter that has " TransUnion LLC '' clearly displayed in the window of the letter but the the letter was opened with my consumer report in it. I did not tell them to send it. In this day and age if any fool sees a envelope with the name TransUnion on it they are going to open it. So TransUnion has again violated my privacy I have informed them to re-investigate and in turn they send me a copy of my consumer report with the words TransUnion LLC clearly displayed in the window of the envelope I have been injured and my report has been made not equitable to me.
