Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I was in the process of purchasing a house. From XXXX XXXX  that day until about XXXX that day I was entirely busy. On XX/XX/year> I received an email notification from XXXX ( not the complaint ) that I had an Installment Loan inquiry from XXXX  XXXX. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with XXXX ( not the complaint ) and they removed the inquiry. I then called XXXX XXXX ( previously I had not been able to get into contact ) using a business phone number, and after about an hour of determining what had happened, we found out someone had applied for a Credit Card in my name. The XXXX  XXXX application number is XXXX. The contact number to confirm this information is XXXX option XXXX. I then on XX/XX/year> submitted disputes for both XXXX and TransUnion. I have received nothing so far from TransUnion, who has no option to dispute the inquiry itself online, and all phone service is overseas. XXXX, after less than 24 hours, has left the inquiry on the report, which tells me they did not do any due diligence in determining whether or not this was actually fraudulent. I just moved, so I have not been able to get a police report ( the police department I am in the jurisdiction of is 45 minutes away ). 

The inquiry should be removed from both the XXXX and TransUnion.

Company: Credit Bureau of the South, Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Company responded that the two companies, Credit Bureau of the South and Delenquent Recovery, was the same company with a name change that the credit bureau failed to update. Whether valid or not, it is not at the expense of the consumer to ensure the information is reported accurately. Therefore, there are inaccuracies reporting on my credit report which is unlawful. 

As a veteran, I possess adequate medical coverage to ensure medical bills are not left lingering. Furthermore, proof of the validity of this debt has yet to be received as the address provided is NOT my address. Please provide the following for this collection : proof of ownership, the original credit agreement, account statements, an itemized list of charges, verification of the debt amount along with the statute of limitations if the debt is expired. 

I request to have this information provided either on this site, emailed to XXXX, or both since the information keeps inadvertently being mailed to the incorrect address which should be indicative of the error being made here. If this info can not be provided for any reason, I request this debt be removed from all credit platforms immediately.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX amounts were taken from my Cashapp account when I locked the card. I later found out that it showed that XXXX was an authorized debtor. The amounts were XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. I contacted Cashapp around XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to let them know there were charges made to my account and I was not sure what was going on. They said they needed to investigate. I let them know I locked my card because my mortgage payment was set to come out of the account. I even contacted google.com to find out where my funds were going because I own an XXXX so I don't use the XXXX play store. I was willing to accept it could possibly be my children. Then on XX/XX/XXXX I received an alert that money was being drafted out of my account : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. I quickly got on the phone with Cashapp. I was on the phone with a representative as he could see money being withdrawn. I was begging for his help because I didn't know what to do to make it stop. I withdrew my money from Cashapp into my XXXX account. It started to draft from my XXXX account. They disconnected the accounts and I was able to get a temporary refund from XXXX. I contacted XXXX XXXX  and Cashapp both of them said I authorized the payments even though I told them I think I was scammed. I requested to know where the purchases were made online or to what account they went to and they told me they could no longer help me. I have tried to talk to people and I am blocked. I tried everything I knew to do. Please help me.
