Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX in state of California with my dad. We opened the company back in XX/XX/XXXX and had some employees at the time. So we fell behind with payment for Employment Development department ( EDD ). So in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX they put few liens on the accounts. Since then we resolve all the past due balance with EDD and are in good standings, but they wo n't remove the state tax lien from my credit report and is really frustrating. The name of the business is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have XXXX accounts listed on my credit report by a collection agency called " XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. I have disputed both with Transunion and the response was a remark on my report indicating " DISP INVG COMP-CONSUM DISAGRS ; & gt ; PLACED FOR COLLECTION & lt ;. 
Under loan type both are listed as " FACTORING COMPANY ACCOUNT ''? I have no idea what that is or what it means. 
I have requested documentation such as signed documentation that these are my accounts as well as payment history to show where they came up with the dollar amounts listed. Neither Transunion nor XXXX XXXX XXXX have provided any documentation. Simply the notation on my credit report that the investigation is complete. 
How does a collection agency get to throw items on your credit report without any documentation whatsoever? What recourse do consumers like myself have?

Complaint narrative:
After checking my credit reports I saw that my credit scores had dropped and saw that I had XXXX collection accounts ( from XXXX and XXXX, PA ) that were added. I had never heard from this company before, never got anything mail or phone calls from this company before it was placed on my credit reports. So I sent them a request to validate the alleged accounts ( on XXXX/XXXX/2015 by fax to XXXX ) but never heard back from them within the 30 days required by the LAW. So on XXXX XXXX, 2015 I sent them another requesting that they delete the accounts from my credit reports since they did n't respond within the 30 days as the law required. As of today they continue to report these accounts on my credit reports. I 've contact the original creditor who is listed on my credit reports and they did n't have any information about the XXXX alleged accounts. They continue to report these alleged accounts to the CRA 's in violation of the FCRA, FCBA because I was never sent any notices before they reported these alleged accounts on my Credit Reports. These accounts have been deleted from my credit reports and keep getting sold to other companies after its removed from my credit reports. The alleged account is in violation of Pursuant to XXXX FOUR-YEAR LIMITATIONS PERIOD. These accounts were deleted and continue to be resold and placed back on my credit reports ( the companies that had the accounts that were deleted, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I sent the collection company a letter to validate the alleged debt and never heard back from them but continue to report that it belongs to me.

Complaint narrative:
I went online to see if I could get a loan on a car. in the process it came up that they wanted to get a free credit report which I agreed to. The next thing I know is trans Union has charged me a dollar in my checking account and then about a week later I see charges from Trans Union in my checking account for {$19.00}. I did not authorize these charges and was made to believe the credit report was free. Trans Union has agreed to reimburse my {$19.00} back but I would like to also get my {$1.00} back also. I would also like Trans Union to stop the practice of offering free credit reports when in fact they plan on charging you for them.

Complaint narrative:
Transunion ( Deceptive Business Practice ). 
This credit reporting agency changes my credit score ( usually lowering it ) whenever it suits them, and without ever providing to me any type explanation or reason for doing so. The most recent time was today, XXXX XXXX, 2016. While nothing changed in my financial circumstances since this agency 's last report of my credit score six ( 6 ) days ago, this agency lowered my score again, and I have absolutely no reason why it was lowered. Transunion 's website is secretive, in that it provides no rational manner in which to contact and dispute the altering of my credit score. I have complained to the XXXX and Office of the Attorney General of Pennsylvania but with little or no results. I am requesting that your agency intercede in this matter in an effort to have Transunion provide to me an exact reason or reasons whenever my credit score is lowered or increased or altered in any manner. Every time I check my credit score with this agency, I get ready for a surprise, and I do not like surprises. Please contact me if perhaps you should require any additional information regarding this matter. Respectfully yours, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I have a report of XXXX hard inquiries reflected on my XXXX XXXX reporting of my transunion credit report. There should only be XXXX : XXXX of the inquiries were made on the same date, and were made to obtain an auto loan ( had I know the car dealership was going to do that, I would not have authorized the inquiries ). According to all the credit scoring information out there for consumers, these should only show up as a single hit to my credit score, but they 're not. They 're showing up as XXXX. I tried asking the lenders for a letter of deletion, as I was instructed to by transunion, but the lenders refused, saying that to do so would be illegal.I have asked transunion to remedy the problem, and was directed to ASK THE LENDERS FOR LETTERS OF DELETION THAT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE. The scoring model that XXXX uses is the XXXX model, and XXXX will not fix the problem either, directing me back to transunion. Meanwhile, I 'm trying to get a mortgage and can not pull my score up by those XXXX, very necessary, points. I feel as though I 'm being held hostage by this process and have no remedy except to sue somebody, an that wo n't solve the problem quickly enough to help me secure the mortgage I need to get my family into a very reasonably priced home.

Complaint narrative:
I had my credit pulled for house loan application. However the credit score was quite lower than expected especially since I use credit karma to somewhat monitor my credit. I am aware that there are going to be differences, but with XXXX and transunion ( the ones XXXX uses, the gap was over XXXX points. ) XXXX had my score at XXXX about XXXX, transunion around XXXX, the credit scores that were received my home finance were XXXX and XXXX respectively. I reviewed the reason for the " low '' score and found the reasons. 
1.derogatory public record or collection. 
I was in the hospital ( XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX ). After not receiving a bill I called and asked. I was informed that bill was payed and no payment due. I was surprised and queried if info was correct. I was assured that no payments are due. About 2 months later I received from a collection agency a notice that I owe about XXXX $ to XXXX. I immediately called XXXX and was told, that there were XXXX accounts for me and that they had made an error. I told them that I have now a collection agency chasing me down for their error. I called the collection service and paid the outstanding amount. That was over 5 years ago and clerical errors have kept my score low!!! 
2.length of time credit has been etablished. 
I have been living for over 20 years in the US. I have had house payments since XX/XX/XXXX, car payments since XX/XX/XXXX, electric, gas, tv, cell phone bills for over 15 years. Credit cards and what have you. How long doe they want me to have credit.?? 99 % of the time I pay my bills on time, that 1 % I missed the due date which happens to the best of us. 
3.proportion of high credit on bank revolving. 
I have about XXXX $ in outstanding credit card bills, the total max/ credit limit on my cards is way over XXXX {$.00} that means I owe 20 % of maximum credit limit, how can this be a high revolving proportion of balance. 
4. Recent inquiries. 
In our days nobody has the cash to buy house or car outright. I refinanced my home, to have lower payment and pay credit cards off, and purchased a car, 11 months ago .... I ca n't see how that is a high amount of inquiries. The reporting agencies love for us to open credit cards to see that you pay them and pay on time to show you are responsibly managing your money. But then you get punished for having an inquiry on your record/ score. 
I hope you can help me out and have the situation rectified. These agencies have so much control over ones life, it 's almost criminal. I can see where people have several collections, maxed out credit cards, unpaid bills, inquiring about credit every two weeks that the score is low, but in my case it 's absolutely not the case. 
I appreciate your help!
