Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. Court, ( CD California XXXX ) ; you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of discharged accounts.

I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or another instrument bearing my signature.

In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.

I request this under 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the false reporting isnt removed ; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. XXXX XXXX ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had lost {$4600.00} in XXXX transactions, due to a fake investment. I was told to send money to various individual accounts on XXXX. I reported this situation to Fifth Third Bank and they opened a dispute case in late XXXX, but it was denied, because XXXX was unwilling to reverse the transactions. I then reopened the case in early XXXX, but it was denied once again for the same reason, including that we don't know exactly who scammed me, so they wouldn't be able to proceed. I submitted a report to the FBI, but I haven't gotten anything back from them.I added both of the reports to my dispute case, but it still didn't help. I reported the " investment website '' that was used in the scam to the XXXX and federal trade commission, but the website is still up and running. I tried tracking down this person myself, but I have run out of options at this point. The only basic information I know about this scammer is the " investment website '' that was used, his or her XXXX number, and the XXXX information of the accounts I sent money to. His or her phone number begins with XXXX and that is XXXX of the area codes of Texas. I hope that you can take this information into consideration. 


Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
To whom this letter reaches, In XXXX of XXXX I purchased a car from XXXX XXXX and financed through Santander. On XX/XX/XXXX a XXXX myself and a friend were in a hit and run accident in XXXX XXXX PA XXXX The car was deemed a total lost, Santander was notified and XXXX insurance sent a check to Santander for {$17000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I went to apply for a car loan and was told that Santander put {$23000.00}. I called Santander and spoke with XXXX ID XXXX, who was very rude. She cut me off mid story and talked over me stating that the account was 120 days past due and is a charge off that will stay on my credit for XXXX years. I asked why and how I had such a large charge off on my account and that it was preventing from getting a new vehicle. I asked her if they could fix the mistake and she stated that there is nothing they can do since the car is charge off. When I asked her why the account was listed incorrectly if they received a check, she did not have an answer. I also asked why my gap insurance was not applied to the balance as I was advised by XXXX  that it would be. I did not have any information for the gap insurance since it was in the car. I asked XXXX for the gap insurance phone number she states that she did not have it but eventually gave me the name. I dont think its fair that a charge off for such a high amount was put onto my credit report incorrectly. This mistake has prevented me from getting a new car and resulted in me spending thousands for a rental car.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I made an account at XXXX to verify my credit history. A day later, I started receiving marketing messages from Experian. The first offered me an opportunity to boost my credit score with " Experian XXXX '', ostensibly a credit repair product. The second told me to review my " financial profile '', some other Experian product pushed to me without my consent. 

The problem is that when I opened the messages to find an unsubscribe button, there was none. In its place was the following text : " This email was sent because it contains important information about your account. Please note that if you have previously unsubscribed from Experian XXXX XXXX, you will no longer receive newsletters or special offers. However, you will continue to receive email notifications regarding your account. '' The messages I received contained no important information about my account. They were ads for Experian products I don't want. I was able to manually log into Experian and change message preferences, but the lack of unsubscribe button on marketing messages is definitely not legal.
