On XX/XX/XXXX, there is an unauthorized inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Tran Union credit report. Let it be clear, I DID NOT APPLY for an XXXX XXXX card! Nor did I receive any letter from XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint - Inaccurate Verification of Debt by TransUnion For whomever this XXXX concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding the accuracy of their debt verification process, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 

Recently, I discovered an erroneous debt on my credit report ( " XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' as listed with company on my credit report ), which was initially verified by TransUnion. However, another reputable credit bureau company subsequently verified this debt as invalid and promptly removed it from my credit report. I must highlight that TransUnion verified this debt without providing any substantial information to validate its authenticity. 

The absence of a wet signature or a clear date associated with this debt raises serious concerns about its legitimacy. I would like to bring to your attention several relevant legal cases, such as XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, wherein the respective credit bureau companies were held accountable for their failure to properly validate similar debts. 

According to the FCRA, it is mandated by law for credit bureaus to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute from a consumer. In this particular instance, TransUnion has failed to meet this legal obligation, as they neglected to perform a thorough investigation into the disputed debt. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) thoroughly investigate this matter and take appropriate actions to ensure compliance with the FCRA by TransUnion. Furthermore, I would appreciate your assistance in rectifying this situation promptly, as the inaccurate reporting of this debt has had a negative impact on my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 

Enclosed with this complaint, you will find copies of all relevant documentation supporting my claim, including the deletion confirmation from the other credit bureau company. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will handle this complaint with the utmost seriousness and work towards resolving the issue effectively. I eagerly await your prompt response and a resolution that upholds the principles of fairness and accuracy outlined in the FCRA. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to pay a bill
Company: Netspend Corporation
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
the card was in a negative balance of around {$500.00}. I was not working and was in and out of the hospital so I was not getting a full paycheck. I started to send allotments of {$100.00} and {$150.00} to repay the negative balance. On XX/XX/23, I received a full paycheck of around {$3800.00}, plus an allotment of {$150.00}. The negative was paid in full at this point and when I tried to pay a bill, I was declined because the company froze my funds. When I spoke with the customer service rep, she said that the recovery team would have to unblock the funds but I was not able to speak with anyone on that team. Normally, a bank would allow you to speak with someone on the fraud team and they are able to fix it that same day. Customer rep said that they would have to send an email to the recovery team and I would have to wait XXXX business days to get a response. Meantime, my money would be sitting there and I would not be able to pay bills. They could not accurately tell me what I owed. This is a holiday weekend and when the customer rep said she tried to speak with a XXXX, they told her it was nothing they could do. Most legitimate banks can fix those problems right away and tell you what the issue is and unblock your card the same day. This company could not and would not. I take XXXX XXXX  and I am a XXXX. I need my paycheck not only for bills but for my medication. They are keeping over {$3000.00} of my money to pay for a small negative balance which has been paid off according to the customer rep. So why are they keeping my money through a holiday weekend. This is unacceptable and should have been fixed the same day.
