Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX due to severe and unjustified negative credit reporting that has significantly impacted my financial standing. My credit report was recently updated to reflect over XXXX late payment entries from XXXX XXXX XXXX, which has caused my credit score to drop by over XXXX points. This action was taken without any prior notice, warning, or correspondenceI did not receive any emails, letters, or alerts informing me of this drastic change before it was reported to the credit bureaus. 

Additionally, I have become aware of an ongoing data breach involving student loan accounts, which raises serious concerns regarding unauthorized access to my personal and financial information raising concerns over a FERPA violation. Given this security lapse, I have reason to believe that my account records may have been compromised or altered without my consent. 

I am active-duty XXXX XXXX in the process of purchasing a home and this has caused my VA loan to be halted until this is remedied. This has caused extreme financial distress and this error in reporting needs to be remedied immediately. I did not authorize any changes to my account status, and I no longer feel comfortable having my student loans serviced and reported to the credit bureaus under these conditions. 

Violations and Consumer Protection Rights 1. Failure to Provide Notice of Negative Credit Reporting - Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), loan servicers are required to provide accurate and fair reporting. I was not notified in advance that these accounts would be marked late, which denied me the opportunity to address any potential issues before they were reported. 

XXXX. Possible Unauthorized Reporting and Account Compromise Due to Data Breach - The reported data breach involving XXXX raises serious questions about the integrity of my loan accounts. If my data was exposed or manipulated, XXXX may have incorrectly or fraudulently reported late payments that I did not actually incur. 

XXXX. Failure to Properly Investigate and Verify Account Status - Given the security risks and errors in reporting, I request full verification and documentation proving the legitimacy of the late payments, including a detailed account history showing how and when they were marked late.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My minor child ended up making XXXX transactions on her child icloud account over a XXXX hour period on some random game that she had never played before, using my debit card not realizing that it was " real money. '' Not only did apple not notify me using her parental controls that were set up until XXXX hours AFTER the transactions took place, but they completely declined all dispute claims I put in immediately after. This equated to almost {$2000.00} out of my checking account. 

I then disputed the unauthorized transactions with my band- TD bank, wheras they have me provisional credit. About XXXX weeks later, they revered the provisional credit without a reason as to why or how as these transactions were very clear as day- unauthorized by a minor child. 

I had to dispute all transactions again, where they said I would be getting a phone call " interview '' Well, this never happened. So a week after not hearing back from them- I filed a third dispute for all of these transactions, and here we are 4 days later and I have still not heard from them. I have not been asked for any information or documentation, or " interview '' from their claims department. 
I have proof that these transactions were made by an XXXX XXXX XXXX child on their icloud account, and that the parental controls that I had set up- didnt notify me until XXXX hours AFTER these transactions had taken place.

State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against COLUMBIA DEBT RECOVERY LLC for willfully and unlawfully reporting an eviction on my credit report in violation of multiple consumer protection laws. This eviction is being reported inaccurately and without proper documentation or legal authority.

Violations committed : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) - 15 U.S.C. 16811 & 1681s-2 ( b ) : The furnisher failed to conduct a reasonable investigation and continues to report unverifiable and misleading information.

2. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FCRA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i & 1681s-2 ( b ) : The furnisher failed to conduct a reasonable investigation and continues to report unverifiable and misleading information.

2. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1692e : The reporting of this eviction is deceptive, as no final judgment or public record proving I legally owe this debt has been provided.

3. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) - Privacy Violation : The agency is reporting alleged eviction information that may have been obtained improperly or without permissible purpose purpose under 6801.

4. No proof of ownership or assignment of debt : The furnisher has not presented a lease, judgment, or chain of assignment to prove standing.

Despite my previous disputes, this account remains on my credit file without verification or validation. I demand a full deletion of this eviction entry and a full investigation into the furnisher 's reporting practices. This account is damaging my ability to obtain housing and is being maintained without lawful justification.

If this is not resolved immediately, I will escalate this matter with the FTC, state attorney general, and pursue civil action for willful noncompliance and credit defamation under 15 U.S.C. 1681n.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

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.
