Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, 2015 credit report indicated XXXX medical collections, XXXX for {$1700.00} and XXXX for {$410.00}. XXXX XXXX credit report shows a removal of the {$410.00} collection and the addition of a {$770.00} collection placed by the same company as the original {$410.00} collection. No changes in XXXX XXXX report. XXXX XXXX report shows the addition of XXXX new medical collections each for {$410.00} from a new collection company. The XXXX new collections appear identical. My concern is why there has been any changes to the collection record since the XXXX XXXX, 2015 credit report. At minimum XXXX of the {$410.00} collections is a duplicate and the {$770.00} collection should not exist. The only collection whose validity is undisputed is the {$1700.00}. I am unaware why the others are there and trans union is the only reporting agency that shows any collections besides the {$1700.00}. Please help.

Complaint narrative:
Comenity manage 's XXXX XXXX 's consumer credit card. I paid a bill on XX/XX/XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX statement ) and on XX/XX/XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX Statement ). Then was hit with a late fee for not paying my XXXX statement minimum payment. When I called I was told I paid between billing cycles, which was true. However, when I checked my account on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX my account portal stated that I had a {$0.00} minimum payment. When I logged in on XX/XX/XXXX I scheduled a payment of {$30.00} to be withdrawn from my account on XX/XX/XXXX for my XX/XX/XXXX statement. When my XX/XX/XXXX statement was available on XX/XX/XXXX is when the late fee was assessed. I contacted Comenity and was told I was late on my payments. When I finally was able to get the associate to see the full time line of payments and I explained to her that when I logged into my account to confirm if I owed a balance she told me that the online account system was irrelevant. Which is extremely troubling given I use that portal to manage my account the few times I do choose to use this card. If this portal is " irrelevant '' as I as told how am I then able to properly manage my account.

Complaint narrative:
Reviewing my TransUnion credit report, I noticed there were many inquiries which I never made. I have called each one of these companies and they confirmed no application was filed from me and they had no record of my name or social security number. 

This concerns me because 1 ) the wrong people may be accessing my information and pulling reports under the guise of a legitimate company and 2 ) this inaccurate reporting actually lowers my credit score. 

These are the companies I have verified so far that had no record of me : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX I XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Requested On : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I 'd like to have these inquiries removed from my record immediately.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX accounts ending in xxxx and xxxx, have incorrectly listed dates of when they became past due. Due to the failure of the University XXXX Vermont, the original creditor, to report the correct first date of missed payment, to the consumer agencies, the date of removal from my consumer report is incorrect. I have attached direct correspondents with XXXX XXXX a representative of the University XXXX Vermont, and the person that reviews these disputes. 

In the correspondence XXXX clarifies that the due date for the account ending in xxxx was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, thus establishing the date of first delinquency. This is in divergence to the date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX reported to the consumer agencies. XXXX establishes that the date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX is actually the date that the past due account was forwarded to a collection agency. 

For the loan ending in xxxx XXXX establishes that as the guarantor of the loan the University XXXX Vermont purchased the loan that was already in default and subsequently transferred it to a collection agency. The date of Advance to the collection agency, XXXX, is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, that is also the date listed on my consumer report as the open date, and the erroneously used to determine the fall off date. The correspondence establishes that the date of first missed payment that leads to the cause of action happened well before the university purchased the loan as the guarantor. XXXX also establishes that the original advance date of the loan was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX : clarifying that the institution that she represents and is reporting to the consumer agency is unaware of the date that leads to the cause of action. 

Furthermore, XXXX in a preceding email states that these accounts should fall off my credit report in XXXX XXXX, XXXX years from date of last activity ( paid in full ) instead of the date of delinquency, indicating that she is woefully unfamiliar with or disregarding the FCRA. I have now made multiple attempts to have these issues rectified, directly with XXXX and with the credit bureau, and thus far have only been able to have debts erroneously reported as still owed marked as paid. 
The credit bureau has failed to investigate the claim, instead they suggest that I dispute the item each time I speak with them. That has worked to no avail as they close the dispute after the University states the information is correct, even though the documentation submitted to the credit bureau shows otherwise.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
This dispute arises from furnisher not providing information on credit report as to whom the account was sold to. Without the furnisher reporting whom they sell accounts to, consumer are disadvantage for the following reason : any payment, settlement or agreement can not be updated through the XXXX CRA 's. 
IE consumer settles account with debt collector and sends letter from debt collector to XXXX CRA 's, the CRA 's can not honor the request to update original account because there is no information reported by original furnisher linking new owner of account. 

For the above reason, in XXXX 2016 spoke to XXXX at Transunion and I disputed XXXX XXXX ' lack of reporting as to who they sold the account to. Transunion assigned new file # XXXX. However the result of XXXX XXXX ' investigation, from that dispute, was to update the account as paid, this was also inaccurately reported. Leaving the consumer with the only resolution, a direct dispute with the Creditor. This creates a long, laborious and at times, confusing for the unsophisticated consumer to get corrections done to his or her credit report. Are they 're no standards, polices and procedures to address obvious lack of disclosure by the part of the credit furnishers? IE Furnisher reports account sold but does not disclose who sold or transferred to, Furnisher reports account paid but does report correctly. 

This dispute ends up on the door of Transunion as I could find no other way to bring this to the attention of the CFPB and the original furnisher dispute was processed through Transunion. However I always found the staff of Transunion to always be most helpful and I am not writing this as a dispute solely directed at Transunion. This dispute is broader based as it seems to occur across the board with the credit reporting agencies. 

Could you please look into this? 

Thank you in advance for your time. 

Attached credit report XXXX XXXX no disclosure who account was sold to Attached credit report results of XXXX XXXX investigations, still no disclosure of who sold to and now account updated as paid. 
Attached this letter

Complaint narrative:
I never received a response back concerning my disputing what this company stated for my XXXX/XXXX/2016 complaint. The company still has not removed the false items from my from my credit report. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I responded to this company .... I do not agree with this. You can come up with XXXX pieces of paper, but until you come up with a legal document that has my original signature that I walked into a building and signed you have nothing. I did no such thing as go on a computer and borrow money from anyone Ad Astro has not contacted me via phone, because I have never spoken to anyone at this company nor have I received any mail from them. Ad Astro just reported the accounts on my credit report and that is how I found out. All XXXX of my credit reports for 3 years had initial fraud alert 's placed on them, because someone had used my identity. Not until last year did I have the fraud alerts removed from my credit reports. Ad Astro has been no help at all in trying to get this situation corrected and the items removed from my credit report. Also, e-signed documents are not documents showing my signature. If I needed to take out loans I would have walked into an office requesting XXXX. Ad Astro claims that they checked accounts information and was told that the accounts were correct in there response, ok so where is the actual documents showing that I signed for loans, there is none. Ad Astro seems to just update the XXXX and not even check to make sure that the information they report is correct. At no time have I been sent documents showing anything that this company claims to have done to correct or even look into this issue. I will not pay a debt that I did not create. Anyone can go online with my information as they did and take out a loan. I feel like this company should have validated the identity of the person that took out the loan with a photo or something more accurate, but they did n't and why have n't the loan companies contacted me if I so called owed them for a debt. And please stop lieing in your response in XXXX paragraph stating that you all remove items until the issue is resolved and then turn around in the next paragraph and say we have contacted the bureaus to place the items back on to reports when in all reality nothing was removed in the first place.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint with TransUnion because a tax lien that is over 7 years old is still on my credit report. XXXX has removed it, but TU and XXXX have not. They replied with a very unclear confirmation that there was a tax lien. That was not my dispute and they never addressed the underlying dispute reason. The system appears to be very automated and makes no sense. The only option at this point was to fill out a XXXX page form and mail it somewhere. No telephone number was provided either at the initial dispute or to challenge and contact them. Uploaded screenshot shows how poorly the reply addresses my complaint that it 's been 7 years since the lien was filed and paying it and having it released should not re-age the lien. All they offer me is basically the chance to go through their automated nonsense again. https : //onlinedispute.transunion.com/oda/dispute/forms/InvestigationRequest_Chester.pdf

Complaint narrative:
I disputed an account and requested verification of the following account that Transunion has re-listed on my credit file : US Bankruptcy Court XXXX GA # XXXX ;. Transunion listed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX as the source of their verification. 

On my dispute submitted XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, Transunion has yet to verify this account. However, interesting enough, they have stated they verified the account. 
Since Transunion states they use XXXX XXXX as the source they obtained the information, I called XXXX and the agent I spoke with advised me that my security freeze was confirmed and set into place. She also told me that there is NO inquiry from Transuion or mode of verification from XXXX XXXX to Transunion showing on my XXXX credit file. And she also stated that XXXX XXXX DID NOT verify the verification that Transunion shows as reported. 

I demand that this public record US Bankruptcy Court XXXX GA # XXXX is removed due to lack of verification and inaccurate reporting of verification! XXXX XXXX agents assured me that Transunion 's so-called " verification '' WAS NOT REPORTED BY THEM BECAUSE MY XXXX CONSUMER FILE HAD A SECURITY FREEZE ON IT. 

I demand that this unverified account : US Bankruptcy Court XXXX GA # XXXX is PERMANENTLY DELETED FROM MY CREDIT FILE. 

I would like to note that XXXX has deleted this unverified account from my report because they stated they falsely verified this account. Although these are XXXX companies are different I suspect the same results when a creditor has reported false information
