Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IL)

During the nationally mandated shelter at home policy that then continued in my State of IL I was reported late by my credit card companies. I tried to be proactive and ask for help early on in 2020. However, these companies did not have assistance programs in place yet so they reported me late over and over month after month during the start of the pandemic. I have tried to dispute prior to now based on the HEROES ACT, my perfect pay history before the pandemic and my current pay history status, my proof of having the XXXX  and proof that my state of IL is still under a state of Emergency per our Governor XXXX who has made his own calls. 
I should not be penalized because the companies did not have programs in place yet, the pandemic shutting the world down, caring for family who were affected by XXXX, caring for myself when I contracted XXXX and being in the XXXX and XXXX industries which were some of the hardest hit. It was no ones fault why should anyone be punished?

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NJ)

Dear TD Bank Customer Service, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent response I received regarding my fraud claim, Case ID XXXX. I appreciate your prompt attention to such matters, but I must convey my concern with the resolution provided.

Upon reviewing your email dated [ Date of the email ], I was surprised to find that the reason for the rejection of my fraud claim does not align with the information I provided during my conversation with one of your agents. The email suggests that the transactions in question are valid and attributable to my actions. However, I would like to reiterate that I was out of the country, specifically in XXXX, during the entire period of the disputed transactions. 

I want to emphasize that these transactions are not mine, and I have not authorized them. As I communicated to the agent, I was not physically present in the location where these transactions took place. Therefore, I find it perplexing that the rejection reason points to the transactions being legitimate. 

I kindly request that you thoroughly investigate my case once again and reconsider the rejection of my fraud claim. It is crucial for me to resolve this matter promptly, as the unauthorized transactions are causing significant distress and inconvenience. I am confident that with the correct information, you will be able to rectify this situation promptly. 

Please provide a detailed explanation for the basis of the rejection and, if possible, share any supporting documentation or evidence that influenced this decision. Additionally, I request that you keep me informed of the progress made in re-evaluating my case.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that TD Bank will take the necessary steps to resolve this issue in a fair and timely manner. If you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXX or XXXX XXXX

Because I was a victim of identity theft, I immediately withdrew and deleted the items that I had contested.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Reason for Dispute : The payment was made on time, but it appears that there was an internal processing delay that caused the payment to be recorded late. I have attached bank statements that confirm the payment was withdrawn from my account before the due date.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Spoke to TransUnion today. Informed them that a fraudulent inquire has appeared on my credit report, dated XX/XX/2022 from XXXX XXXX. Explained that I was on vacation and just returned to be alerted of the fraudulent inquire. The representative told me there was nothing he could do. I explained the inquire was fraudulent and asked for an investigation to have it removed from my report, as the security freeze was not stopping people from trying to access my account. I asked for a special password or code to block further fraudulent activity. The representative said there was nothing they could do. This is wrong on so many levels and I am demanding TransUnion work to remove this fraudulent account, as I have been a victim of fraud over the past ten years.

This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

I am writing to address serious concerns regarding the accuracy of information on my credit reports, which I believe to violate my federally protected consumer rights under 15 USC 1681, as stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I have previously communicated to Experian, XXXX, and XXXX, requesting a reinvestigation into the following accounts : XXXX. Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. Account name : XXXX DEPARTMENT STORE XXXX. Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Account name : XXXX Regrettably, their responses assert that all information is complete and accurate. However, this assertion contradicts the discrepancies I have identified, specifically concerning the open date, date of last activity, and various other critical details. Per 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), it is my understanding that these agencies are obligated to modify accounts that are inaccurately reported.

As outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ), a person is prohibited from furnishing any information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Given the disparities I have identified, it is evident that inaccurate information has been provided to these agencies.

I urge you to conduct a thorough review of my dispute and take prompt corrective action to rectify the inaccuracies in accordance with the FCRA. Failure to address this matter appropriately may compel me to pursue legal remedies available under the FCRA to safeguard my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality.

Your immediate attention to this matter is appreciated, and I anticipate a resolution within the legally mandated time frame.
