Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information id
entified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : NAME / ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of XXXX year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted TRANSUNION multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

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: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain negative entries currently listed on my credit report. Despite multiple requests and the submission of all necessary supporting documents, these inaccuracies have not been properly addressed. My repeated follow-ups have been met with little to no action, and the continued presence of these errors has caused significant financial and emotional stress. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to an accurate and verifiable credit report. I am requesting that you take immediate and thorough steps to investigate and correct these items. Failure to resolve them in a timely manner would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: Netspend Corporation
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
This is the third time Netspend has charged me multiple overdraft fees unfairly. Most recently, on Sunday XXXX, I overdrafted my account at XXXX XXXX  and immediately transferred funds from my savings to cover it. My account was no longer negative. Later that evening at XXXX XXXX, I made a new transaction that caused another overdraft. 

Despite replenishing the account after the first overdraft, Netspend applied two separate {$20.00} overdraft fees, treating it like two violations. I contacted them and explained the timeline clearly. They refused to reverse either fee, even though their policy includes a grace period and typically only applies one fee per overdraft cycle. 

This is not the first time this has happened. Its the third, and they consistently refuse to investigate or reverse the fees even when I bring my account current quickly. I believe they are unfairly profiting off of customers who correct their overdrafts in good faith.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: Stone Creek Financial, Inc
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I respectfully disagree with the companys response to my complaint. ( XXXX ) The garnishment was based on a judgment entered in XXXX that was not lawfully validated, not properly noticed, and appears to be time-barred under Iowa Code 614.1 ( 6 ). 
RE : CFPB Case XXXX XXXX / Stone Creek Financial Inc Iowa Small Claims Case No. XXXX Consumer : XXXX XXXX XXXX Original Case Date : XXXX | Current Activity : XXXX Garnishment Attempts Summary of Violations & Ongoing Harm : Stale Judgment & Inactive Periods : This case was filed over 17 years ago, in XXXX, with a default judgment granted for {$380.00}. 

The intermittent enforcement of this judgment over such a long time with years of no activity and no updated validation is predatory and possibly unlawful under Iowas limitations on dormant judgments and due process rights under the XXXX Amendment. 

Assignment Without Proper Notice : The judgment was transferred to Stone Creek Financial , Inc. in XX/XX/XXXX, but I was never formally notified of this assignment or offered any opportunity to dispute it or request verification of the debt. 

This violates FDCPA 15 USC 1692g ( initial communication and right to dispute within 30 days ), as I received no right to dispute or validation letter from the new collector. 

Failure to Validate Debt : I never received full debt validation from either XXXX XXXX or Stone Creek Financial Inc., despite multiple garnishments initiated over the years. 

No contract, accounting ledger, chain of custody of the debt, or proof of assignment with a notarized affidavit has been provided. These are required under FDCPA 15 USC 1692g ( b ) and Iowa law. 

Unlawful Garnishment of Potentially Exempt Income : A garnishment was recently executed in XXXX. At the time of garnishment, I had pending or active applications for state assistance and other protected income sources. 

This likely violates Iowa Code 627.6 and 15 USC 1673 ( a ) exempt income ( SNAP, TANF, SSI, etc. ) is not subject to collection or garnishment. 

Due Process Concerns & Legal Misuse of Courts : I have recently filed in XXXX XXXX XXXX : A Motion to Vacate the Judgment, A Motion to Quash Execution, and A Request to Defer Court Costs. 

These filings reflect a lack of notice, predatory collection practices, and garnishment activity not supported by legally required validation. 


I request continued investigation, enforcement action, and a full refund of unlawfully garnished funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint regarding inaccurate and unverifiable late payment ( s ) being reported on my credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  as furnished to one or more credit reporting agencies TransUnion ). Despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly, the information continues to be reported without legally sufficient validation and in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 standards.

Details of Violation : The alleged late payment ( s ) have been disputed in writing to both the credit bureaus and the original furnisher.

Neither party has provided any of the federally required supporting documentation, including : Advance billing statements showing 21-day notice prior to delinquency ( TILA requirement ).

Full payment ledgers. 

Complete Metro 2 coding to validate date of delinquency and payment status.

Affirmative proof that the account and alleged late payments are mine and are being reported with accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.

This is a direct violation of the following federal laws : 15 U.S.C. 1681i Failure to reasonably investigate a consumer dispute.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher obligations upon notice of dispute.

15 U.S.C. 1666 ( TILA ) Billing and notice requirements.

15 U.S.C. 1681n Willful noncompliance with FCRA, entitling me to statutory damages of {$1000.00} per violation.

Additionally, their failure to provide verifiable proof after receiving a written complaint suggests either negligence, data mismanagement, or willful disregard for federal consumer protection laws. The continued reporting of this unverifiable derogatory information has caused harm to my creditworthiness, created barriers to financial opportunities, and exposed me to reputational damage.

This complaint is being submitted in good faith, but I will not hesitate to pursue additional remedies in small claims court under 15 U.S.C. 1681n if this issue is not resolved promptly. I am entitled to statutory damages, and I am prepared to file additional complaints with the FTC, State Attorney General, and other appropriate regulatory bodies if necessary.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
