Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft and was included in a class action lawsuit regarding a data breach involving TransUnion. After the breach, several negative and unauthorized items began appearing on my credit report, including late payments, charge-offs, and collections that I did not authorize. 

For example, in XX/XX/XXXX, a XXXX late payment was reported by a XXXX XXXX credit card account that I did not recognize or authorize. Additionally, XXXX student loan accounts reported historical delinquencies from XXXX and XXXX, despite my payments having been deferred. In XX/XX/XXXX, a charge-off appeared from a company named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX auto loan with a balance over {$3000.00}, which I did not authorize. 

I submitted a formal identity theft report to the FTC ( Report # XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX. I also have a letter from an attorney confirming that I was included in the TransUnion breach settlement. I filed disputes directly with TransUnion, but the inaccurate items remain on my report. 

These items are harming my credit and were likely the result of compromised data. I am requesting the immediate investigation and removal of all inaccurate, unverifiable, or fraudulent entries in accordance with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( b ), and XXXX of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, on or about XX/XX/year> I attempted to send XXXX  that are held at XXXX  to my personal XXXX  XXXX, and XXXX  refused my request, stating that they needed to know that I was the owner. They requested I send a picture of myself holding my license and writing a secret PIN on a piece of paper with the days date. I complied with the XXXX request, and at the time being very appreciative of the security feature for the withdrawal. 

Unfortunately, having completed the XXXX request, they then requested additional details of why my login location didn't match my physical location, where I was sending my XXXX, who owned the wallet I wanted to send it to, and for what purpose. I found this to be absolutely unnecessary, and a complete invasion of my privacy. 

I complied with their initial requests, but each reply seem to generate a new subset of new requirements. 

Frustrated, I then requested to send all my XXXX  to my XXXX account and I also sent them a screenshot, proving that I was the owner of the XXXX  account. I explained that the reason for my withdrawal was that I no longer wish to do business with XXXX 

The last communication I have had from XXXX was on XX/XX/year> where they stated that my account was under further review, and that it would take time to complete the review. They did say they would permit me to sell my XXXX  XXXX, but I do not want to incur a loss or a gain at this time. 

I have asked repeatedly by what authority they are doing this, but they have not answered as of today 's date. 

For your review, I have attached a screenshot of my identifying selfie, a screenshot of my identifying XXXX  account, and XXXX screenshots of secure communications that show the reference number of each XXXX. Unfortunately, I did not take screenshots of those XXXX. 

Please help! 

Many thanks, XXXX
