Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Section 15USC 1681 a ( d ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) explicitly excludes transactions between consumers and the reporting entity from consumer reports. Nevertheless, TransUnion is including this information. Such inclusion violates Metro2 compliance standards. Please provide the Metro2 compliance guidelines for reporting transactions to consumer reporting agencies. I request the removal of late payments, collection/charge-off status, and other derogatory data from my consumer reports immediately. Note that I am not seeking validation or verification. Negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status without providing IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. This is a violation of 26 USC ss 6050P regarding the Cancellation of Indebtedness Returns. If this derogatory information is not removed within 30 days, I will file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral and IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information with the IRS against all involved entities.

I have screenshots of the payment order with time stamps and the payment history on there website clearly shows the XXXX payment was the latest payment in order and the {$500.00} regular payment came first. I also attached a picture of my bank account when the payments were made and in the order they were made. I have made these type of additional payments to principle before. Company giving me the runaround with this issue. Company responded but is incorrect as i made my payment that took care of the interest on due date that took care of the interest up to billing cycle and additional principle on same day, agent on phone said it was because of the order, that i made the XXXX  first which went in as partial payment and went to interest and then the {$500.00} regular payment, that is incorrect as shown with documents that proves i made the regular payment first and then the principle payment, because of the order company denied my request to apply the XXXX to the principle balance.

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I only get form letters asking for payment. They will not correct their mistake or send me proof in writing. I had XXXX  service for two years, XXXX. In XXXX I returned what equipment I had and paid the final bill sent to my new address. I never heard anything more from XXXX over the next 6 years. Then on XXXX of XXXX a form type letter, from Convergent a collection agency on behalf of XXXX communications, was mailed to my same new address. I called XXXX right away to correct this mistake and was told they no longer had my file. My file had been turned over to the collection agency. XXXX had never contacted me first. I called Convergent, the collection agency, and could never get good information about what the notice was for. It took me several phone calls and numerous agents to figure out I was being billed for equipment issued in XXXX, about 8 years before I purchased the property with XXXX service. I eventually learned from convergent that equipment was issued from XXXX. I sent Convergent closing statements showing I could not have been issued this equipment in XXXX having opened my XXXX account in XXXX. My previous address in XXXX was not even in a XXXX  service area. I asked that all information they had about the equipment be sent to me in writing, which I have never received. I have also asked numerous times to speak with someone that can correct the XXXX mistake and no one that could help has ever been put on the phone or called me back. I was told to send Convergent any information I have and it will be forwarded to a dispute dept. I have sent information and have contacted them numerous times with no results. I contacted them in a timely manor and sent them what I have but I am getting no where. It is only {$120.00} but I do not owe it and refuse to pay for their error. I will not be coerced by this collection agency that seems unwilling to contact XXXX and get this straightened out. All I ever get are form letters asking me to pay. My perfect credit history of 48 years has been hurt by this company. It is not right. I am a senior and feel preyed upon by this collection company, with their form letters and unwillingness to help correct the mistake.. I am very stressed and XXXX because they have lowered my credit score, will not correct the mistake and just keep sending form type letters asking me to pay it. It is not right that they can make a false claim and there be nothing I can do about it. They leave me with only two options, to pay this fraudulent claim or it sits in my credit history for 6 years and I pay higher interest rates. One way or the other I loose.
