Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to XXXX and XXXX XXXX Missouri Laws Dear MCA MGMNT CO, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and the relevant identity theft fraud laws applicable in XXXX XXXX XXXX Missouri. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that MCA MGMNT CO has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting and establishes clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. Simultaneously, identity theft fraud laws in Missouri underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for MCA MGMNT CO to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that MCA MGMNT CO immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri state laws. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity theft fraud laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that MCA MGMNT CO will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX To : CFPB From : XXXX XXXX. Last 4 of social. XXXX. Birthdate XX/XX/XXXX I am again disputing the Honda Financial inquiry dated XXXX from Honda Financial on my credit report. 

I have disputed this several times and seem to get the run around every time. Perhaps I didnt explain it well enough. Hopefully someone will read this and understand what happened. 

Today I talked again to XXXX XXXX who wrote the attached letter to me on XX/XX/XXXX. 

We talked about the unauthorized credit pull on XX/XX/XXXX. We talked about the origin of this pull, and he said that they didnt pull it, that the dealership had. 

I went back to the dealership and asked them to verify it. I did that in XXXX of XXXX and they sent me the attached email, telling me that they didnt pull it. 

So, I have asked Honda to remove it and they said they cant. 

I have asked XXXX to remove it and they come back with a factual statement that obscures their failure to remove an unauthorized pull on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. 

It seems that the CFPB wields the power, and they should tell Honda to remove it. 


Thank you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a loan to purchase a computer. After receiving the laptop, I paid the entire bill without any issues. However, I later began receiving bills for {$7.00} for an account I never signed up for. I contacted the company, and they assured me they would remove the amount and close the account. Although they closed the account as promised, they continued to send me bills and added the amount to my credit report. The bill has now increased to {$77.00} due to growing late fees. I disputed the account, but the three reporting agencies claimed it was accurate. I was unaware of the existence of this secondary account. The company should have disclosed this information to me. I would have informed them that I did not require the additional services if they had. The purchase came with a warranty. My sole intention was to purchase a computer. I urgently need assistance removing this incorrect information from my credit report, as it shows that I was late in paying a bill that I was unaware of.
