Complaint:
I recently received notification of a late payment furnished on my consumer report. I was never late on. Consumer reporting corporations have assumed a vital role and have responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with MAXIMUM ACCURACY. I have never been late on payments on account ( XXXX XXXX ). Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that the payment was late. If proof cant be provided. I demand payment be updated to on time as it should be. I was never late. 
TransUnion is in violation of 15 usc 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) in accordance with written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Which means that any item of information on my consumer report can not be placed on my consumer report without my written consent. I am now demanding TransUnion to provide me proof of my written consent ( permissible purpose ) giving them permission to furnish each of the following pieces of information on my consumer report ( see exhibit A in document section ) this is an identity theft action due to TransUnion obtaining my non-public personal information without my consent.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Companies have already reported to IRS that Taxpayer received a gain from previous debt written off. The companies such as XXXX # XXXX {$10000.00} Cobalt XXXX XXXX # XXXX {$17000.00} XXXX # XXXX {$1800.00} have been reporting unpaid balance since XXXX after Consumer notified each Company by letter of Insolvency and XXXX XXXX XXXX would be handling all payments based on Consumer hiring XXXX to handle all debts directly with Creditors. 
Customer sent letters several times to each of these Creditors explaining the circumstances and that there's no longer any valid contract and the debt amounts are not correct and some turned over to Third Party Debt Collection Agency ; even after Consumer notified each Creditor that due to enrollment into Debt Collection Program ; each decided to keep on reporting negative information and showing an unpaid balance ; even after writing the debt off and reporting it as a gain for the Consumer on his 1040! 
These Creditors were written in XXXX along with sending each Credit Bureau a letter explaining that the debts were not mine and were no longer owed, balances incorrect, sold to Third Parties Debt Collectors ; contract not valid or with current signature and date! 
The continued reporting of these so called debts must be deleted from all my Credit Reports due to the fact each Creditor wrote the debt off! Also it has been over 4 years since each Creditor was notified to remove and delete the negative statements and unpaid amounts! Since Customer did notify them in XX/XX/XXXX of being enrolled with XXXX XXXX XXXX why are these Creditors still allowed to report negative information when Creditor provided reasonable documentation and payment plan from XXXX back in XXXX? 
These Creditors must remove and delete all information regarding unpaid balance because Consumer does not owe any balance nor is making any monthly payments! 
Please delete these accounts because they serve no purpose but reporting negative information which is not accurate! 
This information regarding a list of liabilities was on application for refinance of mortgage XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX I've already sent documents in the past regarding same subject matter with negative results because the Creditors are still being allowed to report inaccurate information which must be deleted entirely from all my Credit Reports!

Complaint:
I was taken advantage of due to malpractice while several laws were being broken under FCRA by your company. This has caused me financial injury, defamation of character, unable to get a job with a newborn baby arriving soon, and the inability to apply for credit under my consent and authorization. This has hurt my ability to obtain credit. My family and I are suffering due to this. You are in direct violation of the FCRA if these unauthorized inconsistencies are not removed. This leaves me exposed to being a victim of fraud again. Your company is breaking the law! The dates on the accounts that need to be removed are reporting different dates, that is a huge FRCA violation. Thank you for understanding these violations and these inaccurate fraudulent accounts that do not belong to me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Since XX/XX/XXXX, both XXXX and XXXX have been reflecting updated and accurate information on my credit report for my XXXX XXXX  credit card. TransUnion has not been reporting updated and accurate information. TransUnion is still reporting the last payment date as XX/XX/XXXX, when in fact it was actually XX/XX/XXXX. TransUnion is still also reporting an inaccurate balance. The balance as of XXXX was {$0.00}. A payment of {$230.00} was made on XX/XX/XXXX. Both XXXX and XXXX have updated the information and are showing accurate information. TransUnion still has not updated information on their side. I have filed 3 separate disputes with TransUnion, with no luck. TransUnion is still reporting a balance of {$230.00} and last payment date of XX/XX/XXXX. When I call TransUnion to get help, they tell me to call XXXX XXXX. When I call XXXX XXXX  for help, they tell me to call TransUnion. The back and forth is frustrating and I have had enough. So here I am filing a complaint with CFPB, hoping that I can get the help that I need. 

This needs to be reflected accurately on my TU credit report. XXXX and XXXX are reporting accurately. Not sure why TransUnion is not or can't. If filing this complaint does not get my information updated and reported accurately, I will move forward with filing a lawsuit with AG XXXX XXXX in Georgia.

Complaint:
I've been unable to access my Apple Credit as Goldman Sachs / Apple is unable to input a new e-mail address for me to gain access to the card. The representatives have informed me that I have to close down the credit card and start a new one in order to access my credit card. This of course would hurt my credit rating and seems extremely convoluted for a consumer to have access to my account. I'm unable to review my balances, make payments, or make new charges with my apple card.
