On XX/XX/2021, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 45 days I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored with my disputes. Section 611 [ a ], it plainly states that the failure to investigate these days within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove these items from my credit report it has been over 45 days today so they should be the immediately deleted. I demand these accounts be deleted or I will file litigation due to the stress you have caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and maybe got into the wrong hands.

Pursuant to section 15 USC 1681 ( a ) under the exclusion section number ( b ) states that anything that is extended or authorize from a credit card should be excluded from the consumer report. According to definition Section 15 USC 1602 ( i ), the term of a credit card means, any card plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor or services on a credit. 
This is meaning that a credit card from a bank is not allowed on my report, and that not what I mean by a credit card and they are illegally reporting to my consumer report. According to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) section ( e ) such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumer 's credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the Consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
WELLS FARGO ( the creditor ) failed to mail me billing statements. Because of this I notified them every month in writing and by phone that I had not received any of my billing statements. The creditor stated that they would be sending out the statements in the mail and that their system keeps having issues with not sending the billing statements. The creditor never sent me billing statements. Because of this I was unaware if I had a balance on my account. I was also unaware if I had a minimum payment due. I did not make any payments as I did not receive instructions on how to pay my bill. The creditor reported my account as late ( delinquent ) to all 3 major credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ). After a couple of months/years, the creditor finally sent me a collections notice requesting immediate payment of a specific dollar amount without explaining what the amount was for. Because I did not want negative information on my credit report, I paid the amount that was requested of me. The creditor reported my account as charged off. The creditor violated several consumer protection laws by not reporting my account as current ( never late ) and closed. The creditor does not have tracking information showing that I received the billing statements they were required to send me.

Sub-issue: Information that should be on the report is missing

Complaint:
I am writing this letter in the hopes that you will help me with this unfair and overwhelming Situation that I find myself in. I believe now that these original credit card balance that it was paid off .I have been paying this XXXX credit card, original account # XXXX since 2008. Almost 10 years later. XXXX still want to keep charging the same amount by Cavalry is illegal and violated my rights as a consumer & my civil rights. I will list below some of the issues and facts that are the most obvious and reference which laws were violated By them. 1. Predatory credit card Lending :, Treats about ruining my credit report. 1 a. Flipping and charging interest so my balance never go down and still the same over 10 years : The practice of encouraging customers to frequently refinance balances and loans solely for the purpose of earning loan-related fees : 1 loan and balance 2 flipped loans and balance with fees and very high interest rollovers. 1 b. Risky loan terms and structures : The practice of making credit card balances with terms or structures that make it more difficult or impossible for consumers to reduce their indebtedness. XXXX Cycle of Debt : XXXX used illegal debt collection tactics to create a false sense of urgency to lure overdue borrowers into debt traps. XXXX use Cavalry debt collector to claim {$10000.00} They would encourage overdue consumers to temporarily pay off their loans and then quickly re-borrow from them again. Even after conveying to them that I could not afford to repay the balance, XXXX would continue to pressure me into taking on more debt only making me paying minimum balances for 10 years but the balance never goes down. I would pay new fees each time they took out another balance from them. I am sure you will find that XXXX created a false sense of urgency to get delinquent borrowers to take out more balances in the credit card is abusive. Abusive Acts or Practices : Section 1031 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( B ) of the CFPA ifit takes " unreasonable advantage of ... the inability of the consumer to protect the interests of the consumer in selecting or using a consumer financial product or Service. '' 12 U.S.C. 553 l ( d ) ( 2 ) ( B ). XXXX has engaged in unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices in connection with its collection of credit card loans in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of2010 ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5531 ( a ) and 5536 ( a ) ( l ) ( B ). XXXX want to transfer that to debt collector company Cavalry the amount of {$10000.00}. XXXX balance account a total of {$10000.00} after paying for 10 years minimum of {$150.00} payments, it never went down and I paid back to XXXX around {$18000.00} in 10 years, almost {$10000.00} more! and they want other {$10000.00} more!

Complaint:
I have repeatedly disputed and requested verification and validation of the debts listed below for over two years now. Transunion has responded only with improper verification form letters that provide no backup documentation or proof of this debt being mine. 
During this time, I have experienced the adverse results of your erroneous reporting, including denial of credit and housing, reduction and closure of credit lines, loss of property, near foreclosure, incurrence of usury interest charges, and emotional distress. To properly validate a debt by law, TransUnion must provide me with a copy of the original contract signed by and obligating me to this debt. If TransUnion can not provide such proof of debt validity, the account must be deleted form my report. TransUnion has negligently and willfully failed to properly investigate the disputed debts, and is in violation of sections 611 ( a ), 616, and 617 of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), 1681n, 1681o, subject to a {$1000.00} fine for each instance.
