Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts and inquiries below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to conduct a proper investigation into my disputes and for accusing me of using an unauthorized third party to submit my requests. I mailed a dispute letter to Experian, disputing inaccurate personal information and accounts on my credit report. 
To ensure my identity was properly verified, I included the following documents with my dispute : A copy of my government-issued ID A copy of my Social Security card A recent bill showing my current address I mailed my initial dispute letter on XX/XX/scrub> 2024, via XXXX certified mail ( tracking number XXXX ). On XX/XX/year>2024, I received a response stating : " We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. '' This response is puzzling, as all prior communications were sent directly by me and included all required information. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Experian is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information in a consumer 's file. It appears that Experian has violated my consumer rights by failing to investigate my disputes, falsely accusing me of using an unauthorized third party, and not responding to my dispute.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I used TransUnion 's phone system to lift a security freeze to allow my bank to check my credit rating. In my notes from the last time I did this, I used a PIN to have a bit of security for this process. But today, the system asked only for my zip code, DOB, SSN, and street address number. Then it lifted the freeze. This is really ridiculous. I called their support line and they said they removed the option to use a PIN last year but gave no reason. All the information they required is easily obtained from the web after all the security breaches we've had ( partly from credit reporting agencies! ), so their process in practice has no security!
