Consumer complaint received 2024-11-12 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XXXX XXXX It has come to my attention that the charge-off Cis being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XXXX XXXX It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper. 
I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Credit Inquiries and FCRA Violations by Credit Reporting Agencies Complaint : Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered the following unauthorized inquiries : Experian XX/XX/XXXX Inquired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX Inquired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Inquired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MI, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Inquired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry Date XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I did not apply for credit or authorize these companies to check my credit report. These inquiries were made without my consent, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I am requesting immediate removal of these fraudulent inquiries from my credit reports.

Request for Action : 1. Immediate Removal of Unauthorized Inquiries : These inquiries were made without my authorization. I request that the credit reporting agencies immediately remove all unauthorized inquiries listed above from my credit report.

2. Compliance with the FRA : Under the FCRA, the credit reporting agencies and creditors are required to ensure that the information on my credit report is accurate. The unauthorized inquiries on my report violate this provision, and I demand compliance to maintain accurate and fair reporting.

3. Stop Collection Activities : I request that all collection activities related to any fraudulent accounts tied to these unauthorized inquiries be stopped immediately.

FCRA Violation - Permissible Purpose : According to FCRA Section 604, a company must have a permissible purpose to access a consumer 's credit report, such as my explicit authorization or a credit application initiated by me.

These inquiries were made without such permission, and I believe this is a clear violation of the FCRA.

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate these unauthorized inquiries and hold the credit reporting agencies and any related companies accountable for violating the FCRA.

Requested Resolution : 1. Immediate removal of all unauthorized inquiries from my credit report.

2. A full investigation by the CFPB into this violation of the FCRA 3. Ensure that the credit reporting agencies comply with the FCRA to maintain Accurate information.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
