Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX TN XXXX XX/XX/year> Transunion Department of Education XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX DEPT OF EDUCATION / XXXX ACCT # XXXX Subject : FERPA Violation and Request for Removal of Student Loan Due to Privacy Breach Dear To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding what I believe to be a clear and serious violation of my rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) concerning the handling of my student loan information.

It has come to my attention that my student loan recordsclassified as education records under FERPAwere disclosed and/or reported without my consent in a manner inconsistent with federal privacy laws. Specifically, [ briefly describe the situatione.g., loan information was shared with
third parties or reported to credit agencies without authorization ].

I did not provide written consent for this disclosure, and I was not notified or given the opportunity to approve or deny the release of this personally identifiable information, as required under FERPA. This action not only compromised my privacy but may have also had a direct and negative impact on my credit and financial well-being.

Given the severity of this violation, I am requesting that the following actions be taken immediately : A full investigation into how and why my loan information was disclosed ; Written documentation of any consent your institution believes it obtained from me ; Immediate correction of the records in question, including any misinformation reported ; Complete removal of the student loans from my account and credit record, as this violation undermines the legality and integrity of the loan process itself ; Written assurance that your institution is taking steps to prevent future violations of FERPA.

If this matter is not resolved satisfactorily within 14 business days, I will not hesitate to escalate this complaint to the U.S. Department of Educations Family Policy Compliance Office for formal review and enforcement action.

I expect a timely and thorough response to this letter, as my rights and personal information have been compromised. I appreciate your prompt attention and hope to resolve this issue swiftly. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
