Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I paid off a personal loan. Because it was paid off, the account closed. On XX/XX/2023 I realized that my credit score dropped by XXXX points. I called Transunion for an explanation, they had none. I was told that is the way the Algorithm works. There was no other explanation. I had a balance increase on a credit card and paid off a loan for three times as much on my credit card. I checked both XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, neither had made any such changes. There was a 2 point deduction for the credit card increase on the XXXX report and nothing on the XXXX. 
I have had Multiple issues with Transunion regarding my report in the past 2 years. They have been reporting inaccurate information and not properly investigating it. Transunion currently has 13 derogatory accounts on my report, 6 of which are Collections. Neither XXXX or XXXX has this information. I have disputed these items multiple times and requested information from the Original Creditors that the reporting Collection Agency, provide me with the original signed documents, payment history, and a letter from the original creditor that this Collection agency ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) now owns this this debt and has the legal authority to collect any amount that is claimed to be owed, with proof of documentation. As of this date XX/XX/2023 I have not received it after requesting this information multiple times. Instead they continue to report it as accurate. I am requesting that I receive a legal explanation for the credit score decrease of XXXX points, and that until they have provided me the information that I am entitled to for ALL Collection accounts listed on my report or DELETE it immediately. It is very taxing and stressing as I have been dealing with this for over a year and have since had to be put on medication because of the stress. It has also affected my ability to gain credit at a decent rate and even at all.
