Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against Transunion for multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with fraudulent account that remain on my credit report despite my repeated disputes and submission of legally sufficient documentation. The account in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  was opened fraudulently and are the result of identity theft. 
I provided Transunion with a government-issued ID, proof of address, an FTC Identity Theft Report, and a signed statement under penalty of perjury, all of which satisfy the requirements under FCRA 605B . Despite this, Transunion failed to block the fraudulent information within four business days, as required by law. Furthermore, Transunion has violated FCRA 611 ( a ) by failing to conduct a proper reinvestigation of my dispute within the 30-day statutory window. I also requested full disclosure of all information used to verify the disputed account, as permitted under FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), but Transunion has not provided this information. These failures constitute both negligent and willful noncompliance with the FCRA, entitling me to damages under 616 and 617.

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, respectfully submit this objection in the above-referenced matter. 

On XX/XX/year>, at approximately XXXX XXXX  I had a copy of the Summons and Complaint ( dated XX/XX/year> ) affixed to my apartment door at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Service at XXXX XXXX is improper and defective under CPLR 308. New York law requires that service of process be conducted in a manner and at a time reasonably calculated to provide actual notice. Affixing papers to a door in the middle of the night does not meet the statutory requirements and can not be considered valid service. 
Furthermore, when I contacted the court by email to verify this matter, I was advised that no record was found under my name or this index number at that time. This raises serious concerns about the integrity and validity of this action. 
I am a recipient of public assistance and live below the poverty line. The pursuit of this alleged debt, using improper and harassing service methods, imposes undue hardship and violates both statutory protections and basic fairness. 
Accordingly, I demand that this action be dismissed in its entirety for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to CPLR 3211 ( a ) ( 8 ). 
I affirm under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. 

Respectfully submitted,

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint personally and in my own words. I have not authorized any company to submit this on my behalf beyond helping me type and send it. This issue directly affects me. I am filing this complaint against Transunion for their continued reporting of a late payment account on my credit report which is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is not only a gross inaccuracy, but it also violates multiple provisions under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including 611 ( a ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ] and 607 ( b ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ]. I previously submitted a formal dispute regarding this inaccurate entry, yet Transunion failed to conduct a meaningful or lawful reinvestigation. They did not contact the furnisher nor provide any documentation verifying its accuracy. Their handling of the dispute shows noncompliance with the FCRAs requirement to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. Transunion appears to rely solely on automated systems such as e-OSCAR rather than performing an actual manual review of disputed items or original records. This kind of automated verification process is insufficient under the FCRA, and can not meet the standard of a 'reasonable ' reinvestigation. Further, under FCRA 607 ( b ), Transunion has a legal obligation to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 
Maintaining a late payment account on my record, with no documentation or proper validation, is a clear and damaging violation of that duty. This error has harmed my credit reputation, caused emotional distress, and denied me access to financial opportunities. I am also aware that In light of the XXXX CFPB enforcement action ( CFPB & FTC XXXX TransUnion ), in which your agency was fined {$23.00} XXXX for systemic reporting failures, I hereby request that my dispute be handled with due diligence and in full compliance with federal law. My experience is consistent with those systemic issues and shows these practices are still ongoing. I am requesting the CFPB to require Transunion to immediately delete the inaccurate information from my credit report, issue a full explanation of their investigation process, and hold them accountable for violating my rights as a consumer. If necessary, I am prepared to pursue compensation for damages under FCRA 1681n and 1681o. I have attached my formal dispute letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, which further outlines my concerns and demands. I respectfully ask the CFPB to investigate this matter and enforce compliance with federal law.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This is now the XXXX documented attempt to correct this reporting, and at this point, it is clear that the bureaus and data furnishers are engaging in malicious noncompliance. Despite being notified of these errors, theyve refused to follow the law and correct or delete the inaccurate information. 

There is no original contract, no signed application, no itemized billing statementsnothing to substantiate the validity or accuracy of the tradeline. This violates FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) and consumer disclosure rights, and also breaks the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( XXXX ) for unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts or practices ( UDAAP ). 

The XXXX XXXX format clearly mandates accurate coding and complete reinvestigation protocols, which are being ignored.

Complaint narrative:
I began receiving calls from Credence Resource Management using spoof-like rotating numbers. These calls started in XX/XX/XXXX and have continued through XX/XX/XXXX. I never received any physical mail, voicemails, texts, or emails explaining what this alleged debt is about. 

I never acknowledged or authorized contact from them. Notably, Ive blocked several of their numbers, but they keep switching, making it hard to stop the harassment. What adds more insult to injury is how XXXX currently living in a hotel, under financial hardship, and this ongoing spam-like behavior is causing unnecessary stress and emotional strain. 

The attached report includes over XXXX different numbers used by Credence and documents XXXX calls, including same-day repeats and borderline illegal call times ( e.g., XXXX PM ). None of these calls included identification, opt-out instructions, or debt validation.
