Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit reports from XXXX and Trans Union, I have identified several credit inquiries that I did not authorize. These inquiries have adversely affected my credit score and potentially exposed me to further financial and identity theft risks. The unauthorized inquiries include but are not limited to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These unauthorized inquiries were made without my knowledge or consent, and I have not engaged in any financial transactions that would justify these hard pulls on my credit. Their presence on my credit report is erroneous and suggests a failure to maintain secure and accurate records, which is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Jefferson Capital violated Regulation F by not sending me any notification before reporting on my consumer report. There is a total of {$6500.00} being reported on my account that I do not owe Jefferson Capital. I have never received any notice about this alleged debt therefore was not able to properly dispute it. As of XX/XX/2021, debt collectors are required to communicate with the consumer about a debt before reporting it to any consumer reporting agency. I never received this notice and as a result I am possibly facing extreme financial injury. I am in the middle of purchasing a home, and my lender just notified me that they can no longer approve me for the home due to this new collection on my report. However, there may still be a chance for me to be able to purchase this home if this debt is removed immediately, as I was scheduled to close in 8 days. This is my home that I have for my household. In the event that Jefferson Capital, does not remove the debt immediately and I am not able to close on my home, I may seek legal assistance to pursue damages under the FDCPA that include statutory damages, monetary damages, damages for emotional and physical distress and more. Thank you for your quick attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Chase Bank just closed all of my credit cards with them, 2 of which have my oldest credit history, and 1 of them was just opened 2 months ago with a large credit limit. I have not had any 30 day+ late payments, I paid the balances in full up until 3 months ago. Business is slow for about 4 months during this time of year, so I was going to only make minimum payments for the few months and then pay in full once I get through the dry season.

They cited their reasons as high balances ( again something that only happened in the last 3 months with balances paid in full much longer than they were not ) and the recent 4 credit pulls. Regarding the credit pulls, I have not applied for any new credit for over 3 years. I have started to travel a lot and decided to apply for different travel cards to find the one that gave me the most benefits. But again, there have not been any late payments, I have not had any of the cards go into default, and they continue to send me offers to bring over my balances and investments that I have with other institutions to their bank. If they had let me know the cards were at risk, I would have paid them all off in full. That would not have been a problem. But instead they just closed them without any notice. The fact that banks are allowed to cause such financial harm to consumers is criminal. 
This has dropped my credit score SUBSTANTIALLY. Not only did it hurt me to loss the credit lines, I lost my oldest payment and credit history. I will now experience financial harm by having to pay higher interest rates for anything I do moving forward because I have lost all of my credit history. This is completely unjust and banks should not be allowed to get away with this.

They could have even just lowered the credit limit but to completely close the accounts?!!! It will take me YEARS to recover my credit from this.

I did not find out the accounts were closed until I logged in to my accounts. There were no notices in the message portal ( other than offers to bring my balances over ). I only got the information from a representative verbally when I called in to find out why the accounts showed closed. The only solution they offered me was to have my credit pulled to reopen the 4 cards, INDIVIDUALLY FOR EACH CARD. So yes, 4 additional credit pulls after closing the cards BECAUSE OF 4 CREDIT PULLS. I would find this comical if it has not hurt me so much.

Complaint narrative:
I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Loan sold or transferred to another company
Company: West Coast Servicing, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I obtained XX/XX/XXXX loan from XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX was the provider of the 20 %. In my research I found that they were affiliated with XXXX XXXX. I made a few payments on the loan and was unable to continue payments wit XXXX. I received a modification from XXXX XXXX in XXXX and I assumed that either this loan was forgiven or written off due to the modification received because all those years I never heard anything from XXXX. XXXX and behold in XX/XX/XXXX I received a transfer letter that it was transferred to West Coast Servicing Inc. 18 years later????? The statue of limitations to collect on a loan like this in my state is 5 years. ( see attached ) Even on the letter XXXX sent they state there is a window for them to collect which has passed. I wrote a XXXX to Westcoast on XXXX XXXX and have not received anything back. That is because this loan does not exist anymore. They have tried to offer me a modification with a XXXX interest rate, amortization of 30 years with a balloon payment in 10 years for over XXXX. They have also started a court action for foreclosure.IS THIS LEGAL???? Attached you will see the court documents I would like to know how a XXXX loan became almost XXXX if it was forgiven. The law sates on first mortgage in Florida its 20 years. There is nothing in the courts recordings that state either one owns this loan

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This dispute started in XX/XX/XXXX when XXXX failed to reply to multiple letters and supporting correspondence. I am not obligated to pay any disputed amount by law, so I did not. This account is now current and has been for almost four years. The dispute of {$2300.00} is resolved, and the balance is credited for that amount. All payments are being made on time. 

I agreed to the settlement during the call with your representative on or about XX/XX/XXXX. Initially, I was told the call was being recorded by XXXX. During that call, as part of settling the account, my credit report and XXXX history would also be updated to show the correct/current information. After years of on-time payments being reported accurately, as of today, XXXX continues to show the account past due from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. 

This is incorrect. The aging should be amended now that the dispute is settled, and this delinquency history should be deleted or amended. As a result, I am requested a copy of the transcript or actual recording of the phone call with XXXX as evidence of what the XXXX representative promised in order to encourage me to agree with the settlement terms. If you feel the representative would not mis-represent the terms, then the recording or transcript would also indicate such. 

I am therefore requesting that any previous months delinquencies or late payments be removed, corrected, or suppressed from all three Credit Reporting agencies where they continue to appear, negatively influencing my overall report. Please reply directly to me as to how XXXX will finally resolve this matter after five years.
