Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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:
TransUnion has failed to properly delete inaccurate or obsolete accounts from my credit report. Instead of removing them as required, they moved them to the closed accounts section. The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX These should have been deleted entirely, not reclassified. This action violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 and 607 ( b ), which require the prompt deletion of disputed, unverifiable, or inaccurate information and mandate maximum possible accuracy in consumer reporting. I have formally disputed these accounts, and TransUnions failure to delete them is deceptive, harmful to my credit, and unlawful. If this is not corrected immediately, I will seek legal remedies under FCRA 616 and 617 for willful and negligent noncompliance.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Discover charged off my credit card account in XX/XX/XXXX. As required under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 and XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting guidelines, once an account is charged off, the lender must stop updating the payment history with new delinquencies unless the account is formally re-aged ( which has not occurred here ). 

However, since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been making consistent monthly payments of {$310.00} to Discover in good faith despite the debt being already charged off and written off by the bank. I have made XXXX consecutive payments, totaling more than {$2500.00}, and have screenshots and bank records to prove it. 

Despite this, Discover continues to report the account as late every month, even after the charge-off date. They have reported derogatory late payment marks throughout XXXX and XXXX, with the most recent bureau update on XX/XX/XXXX still marking it as XXXX days late and In collections/charge-off with no mention of a payment plan. 

This is a blatant violation of : FCRA Section 1681s-2 ( b ) : Discover has failed to correct inaccurate information after being notified. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Standards : A charged-off account can not continue showing new delinquent updates in the payment history. Once charged off, the grid must freeze, and if the consumer is repaying, the account should be marked as Account in payment plan or Paying after charge-off.

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : The account is being reported in a manner that is not accurate, complete, or reflective of the actual payment status.

Furthermore, Discover has refused to properly update the remarks to indicate I am in a payment arrangement or partial settlement agreement. Instead, they continue to add monthly late marks that are both false and punitive, damaging my credit score and misrepresenting the status of the account.

This inaccurate reporting has severely harmed my credit score and overall financial standing, despite my efforts to repay voluntarily. The reporting is not only factually wrong, but also legally non-compliant with both federal law and credit bureau data furnishing rules

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX Social Security Number : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , am filing a formal dispute regarding a series of unauthorized hard inquiries that have been placed on my credit report. These inquiries were made without my knowledge, approval, or written consent, and I did not initiate any credit applications with the entities listed below. 
As defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ), a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a report with the explicit consent of the consumer, or in relation to a credit transaction initiated by the consumer. 

These inquiries fail to meet that requirement. 
XXXX Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( f ) : Prohibits any person from obtaining a credit report without a permissible purpose. 
15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) : Requires prior written consent or consumer-initiated credit action. 
15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( FCRA 605B ) : Mandates the blocking of identity theft-related information within 4 business days upon receiving proper documentation. 

These inquiries are a direct result of identity theft, and I am submitting this dispute along with my official FTC Identity Theft Report. As provided by FCRA 605B, the credit bureaus are required to permanently block and delete this fraudulent data within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving this notice and supporting documentation. 

I am not requesting validation. I am demanding immediate deletion, as the inquiries are unlawful and harmful to my credit profile. 

Requested Action : Immediately investigate and remove each inquiry listed above. 
Provide proof of written authorization, or permanently delete the inquiries. 
Issue updated credit reports reflecting the removal. 
Notify any third parties who may have accessed the incorrect data. 

Attached Supporting Documents : Copy of government-issued photo ID Copy of Social Security card Proof of address ( utility bill ) - the bank statement is for address verification only. 
FTC Identity Theft Report Please confirm receipt and action in accordance with the FCRA. If no action is taken, I will pursue all available legal remedies under federal law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
