Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. On XX/XX/2023, I sent a dispute letter to TransUnion requesting an investigation into the following inaccurate items : Bankruptcy : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with Reference Number : XXXX, and Bankruptcy : U.S. Bankruptcy Court with Reference Number : XXXX. 

In addition, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. 

Despite my efforts to rectify these inaccuracies, TransUnion has failed to address the discrepancies in my credit report. These errors are negatively impacting my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 

I made sure to include a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and recent bill with my current address to help TransUnion verify my identity and address. 

I received a response back from TransUnion dated XX/XX/2023 stating the following : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. According to the FCRA, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 

It appears that TransUnion has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute, which they are required to do in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion, along with TransUnions response as proof. I am now demanding TransUnion immediately and permanently remove the disputed items from my credit report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I trust this message finds you with a sense of urgency. I am writing to urgently bring to your attention a matter of great concern involving LVNV Funding LLC, a debt buyer, and their persistent pursuit of an alleged XXXX XXXX  debt amounting to {$690.00}. 

Despite the confirmed removal of the aforementioned debt from my credit report by XXXX and XXXX, adhering to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) guidelines, XXXX appears unwilling to cooperate and still reflects the debt. This conflicting response exacerbates the severity of the situation, leaving me in a precarious position.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I tried to charge tickets to XXXX XXXX XXXX. The payment app said they wanted to send a code to the phone number registered with the credit card company ( Citibank ). I saw that it is the wrong phone number. I have an XXXX  phone number and do not have a US phone number. I logged onto Citibank 's website to change the phone number. They do not allow non-US phone numbers. Then they locked my account with a note saying to call the fraud department. I called the fraud department. They asked what my secret word is. I don't have a secret word. Then they wanted to send a code to my phone number, which of course is the root of this problem. They were not able to verify me. I asked to close the account. They said they couldn't close it without verifying me ( somehow they were able to open it, however ). I asked for a postal address and an account closure request. They said they did not have this and nobody has ever asked for it before. They said they would mail something to my adddress on file. I don't think they have the correct address on file. So it is a catch-22. Unless I can break out of this then the account may be open for the rest of my life. Their fraud system is not my issue in this case. My issue is that I want to end the relationship with them.
