Consumer complaint received 2025-09-25 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information that appears on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to formally request that this information be blocked or removed. I am including a copy of my identity theft report issued by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) XXXX as supporting evidence for 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 or delete any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - XX/XX/year> XXXX - XX/XX/year> XXXX  - XX/XX/year> As outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I am formally requesting that this fraudulent information be blocked or removed immediately from my credit report. This information should remain blocked for a period of XXXX year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no fraudulent data should continue to appear in my file. 
I have contacted the credit bureau reporting these fraudulent accounts multiple times, and they have failed to provide me with an effective resolution. This situation is severely affecting me and feels like a never-ending cycle. I do not understand how these accounts can still be reported as mine when I have already proven otherwise. 
Please help me by removing these accounts immediately. I am including my FTC report again, hoping that you will make a better and fairer decision in my case. Thank you for your attention.

State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX, XXXX, and TransUnionfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law.

Complaint narrative:
This account is inaccurate due to safety concerns ( XXXX XXXX  ) I arranged a sublease. Because I properly completed a sublease agreement for the apartment. The sublease was approved, and I turned over the keys to the new tenant. From that point forward, I was not in possession of the unit and had no financial responsibility for the lease. 
Despite this, the apartment/collector has reported a debt against me. This is incorrect, as the new tenant assumed responsibility under the sublease.

When I call and try to get answers on why I was never told about these and why Im just now finding out and what they are from. They all just give me the runaround that they are late fees and have to be paid.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
