Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

I demand that the following items be deleted immediately from my credit report :

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I purchased an XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX in XXXX, NC. The card was not valid. I sent it to another person for a bill. 
They could not redeem the card. 
I called Wells Fargo Bank and talked with a banker. He told me he gave me provisional credit for the card. This purchase took place in XX/XX/XXXX. The transaction amount of {$300.00} came back to my account in XX/XX/XXXX. They told me the card was invalid the numbers were wrong and did not match. 
Now, they tell me the card is valid and I have to pay the amount to the account or close the account. 
This is not fair of Wells Fargo. 
I dispute this charge and need this amount XXXX returned to my account immediately. 
They need to be taken to court and sued for this. I am innocent of this charge.

I told her was not giving that. She then told me my whole social and address. She has no right giving my social over the phone. She then got irate and started screaming that she was going to have her company sue me. Five minutes later I received an email from Structured Settlement in XXXX NV saying they were going to sue me. The letter is trying to collect triple the amount of debt.

I submitted a dispute with Experian and after 1 day, they provided these results which are still false and fraudulent. They did not investigate these accounts and also stated they were verified.
