Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have an account with XXXX 's banking. I am an authorized user on the account, and last year it was taken off of my credit report without consent and without a reason why, which brought my credit score down and my credit history down as well. I have tried contacting Transunion and they have said they would fix the problem however it has been over a year and I have had no solution. I have contacted them multiple times, including XXXX 's. Both companies have said they will fix the problem but have yet to do so which has affected my credit score. I got a letter in the mail saying the dispute I have submitted for the account was solved, but they completely removed it as a solution which is not what I wanted.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I made an online purchase for {$580.00} using my Bank of America debit card to buy 3D printing equipment from a website that I later discovered was fraudulent. The merchant disappeared and never delivered any goods. I called Bank of America immediately after realizing it was a scam and was told to wait until the transaction posted. Once it posted, I filed an online dispute. 

Since then, I have not received any temporary ( provisional ) credit, no written correspondence, and no visible claim status in my online banking. I have called Bank of Americas fraud/dispute line multiple times, and they only tell me that the case is under review without providing a claim number, status, or timeline.
