Complaint narrative:
Experian, XXXX  and XXXX  did not follow bankruptcy law, they allowed XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX to re-report lateness on my report after they were in my bankruptcy and discharged, also all information was removed and placed back on my credit.

Even though I have great payment history for two years they continue to lower my score, then solicit money for me to buy something to help my credit, how can they control our credit and make money from companies trying to sell us something.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX an unknown company reported a collection on my account. I disputed this on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX with Transunion. 

After some research, I determined the account was related to an old account from XXXX. It was an old electricity bill that I never received when I moved. I was made aware of it in XXXX, paid it immediately as agreed, and obtained a release of debt from the original creditor / agency XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX ). At that time in XXXX I disputed the charges, provided my release of debt letter, and it was removed from my reports with all 3 bureaus.

Providing the release of debt letter this time around, resulted in only 1 of 3 bureaus removing the information ( XXXX removed it but the others did not ). Not only is the debt more than 6 years old ( possibly past the statute of limitations ) and already settled and paid as agreed, abut the 2 agencies in question are reporting it as a new collection with a date of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Recently, I applied for a mortgage and noticed my scores with Transunion and XXXX are over 100 points worse than my scores with XXXX. This error on their part is costing me significant money in addition to the time I've spent and frustration I've felt in dealing with this error. 

Transunion doesn't even have a way to dispute the item, when I log into their system it doesn't show up as an item that can be disputed. I had to dispute it thru XXXX XXXX.

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX a collection account from XXXX  was removed from all 3 major credit bureaus after several disputes. XX/XX/XXXX I had a VA mortgage lender pull my report for a home loan, which DID NOT REFLECT the removed debt.

On XX/XX/XXXX I woke up to an alert from XXXX that a delinquency debt was placed on my credit. I was NOT notified by the 3rd party debt collection agency JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS prior to this. I immediately called the number provided and was told by their agent that they did not handle that type of account and provided me with another number to call. Upon speaking with now a 4th party XXXX XXXX regarding this debt ( that was removed prior ), I was told that they did not need to send any information and they had the right to place the debt on my credit. I told the representative that they were required to send me all correct information regarding this account as well as provide 30 days for me to respond or dispute. The representative did not speak clear English and talked in circles. Despite the communication issue over the phone, These two companies are unwilling to take the legal steps, especially for an account that was REMOVED entirely from all bureaus!

I immediately filed a dispute with XXXX  and was notified 24 hours later that this account is accurate. I am beside myself with frustration!
