Consumer complaint received 2025-08-15 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me.

The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.

Company: Ability Recovery Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This is now my third CFPB complaint against Ability Recovery Services for the same alleged {$820.00} medical debt being reported as a charged-off collection on my credit report. 

In my first and second CFPB complaints, I requested legal validation of this debt. Both times, Ability Recovery Services provided only an itemized bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX listing XXXX XXXX XXXX as the original creditor. 

An invoice is not legal proof of a debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA 809 ( b ) ) or the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 and 623 ). The company has still failed to provide : A signed contract or agreement showing I am financially responsible for this debt A complete chain of assignment from XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX to Ability Recovery Services Proof of authority to report this account to credit bureaus HIPAA-compliant documentation and proof that the charges comply with the No Surprises Act Despite repeated CFPB filings, they continue to report this account without producing the required legal proof. This repeated failure to validate constitutes a pattern of noncompliance and intentional disregard of federal law.
