Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

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, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and 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 : The late payments were incorrectly reported due to an issue with the automatic payment system that I had set up with XXXX. The funds were available in my account, but due to a technical error, the payments were not processed on time, leading to the late payment entries on my credit report. This error was not caused by my actions and should not reflect negatively on my credit history. 
Evidence provided : Bank statement showing sufficient funds in the account on the payment dates. 
Correspondence from XXXX acknowledging the technical issue with their automatic payment system.

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

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (GA)

The financial company supposed to have repoed the vehicle. I gave them the information where the car is located. It was located at the XXXX dealership in XXXX XXXX georgia for repairs. They attempted to repo the car 4 times at the dealership but the dealership said they had to pay a small fee to come on the property to repossess the car. So I think the financial company didn't pay so they didn't repo the car and I never got the car back because it was suppose to be removed there so I dnt know what happened to the car after that but they have the car on my credit report as a open account as if I still have the car. It's been 2 years now and it's still on my report as a open account. I financed the car in 2016. The car is a XXXX XXXX. It's not my fault the didn't repo the car. I gave the the address where it was located and the dealership said they attempted to 4 times but didn't want to pay the lot fee first.

THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE COMPLANT. I'm not using any third party for this matter and represent myself by myself. I'm sending this complaint because I have pulled up my credit report just recently and I noticed some hard inquiries from companies that I did not give consent to access my credit reports ; I am very concerned about all activity going on with my credit reports these days. I immediately demand the removal of these inquiries to avoid any confusion as I DID NOT initiate these inquires or give any form of consent electronically, in person, or over the phone. I am fully aware that without permissible purpose no entity is allowed to pull my credit unless otherwise noted in section 604 of the FTCRA. The hard inquiries that are being disputed, do not belong to me. My position is being clearly stated, these hard inquiries do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate information within my credit file. YOU are reporting the INQUIRIES that are the result of the fraudulent activities. Therefore, these inquiry must be deleted from within my credit file. Inquiries that are made by someone else without my authorization is not a factual record of access to my credit file, it is a factual record of fraudulent activity, and it must be addressed as such. The reason that this Inquiry is being disputed is because it waw not made by me, and when I report this to you, it is your responsibility to investigate my claims, and when you can not prove that this inquiry was made by me, they must be removed from my credit file. I have filed FTC report for this matter. Here are the list of these fraud items : XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; Capital XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Please remove these items from my report as soon as possible, I have included the copy of my SSN, driver license, proof of address and copy of FTC report.

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law.

The XXXX and Equifax credit bureaus are required to authenticate this account under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat these reporting account as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ), please investigate the unverifiable item/accounts/information below. As required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. XXXX and Equifax shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed that inaccurate information remains despite multiple attempts to correct it. The credit bureaus, TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX, have continued to verify this inaccurate information as accurate, which is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Sections 611 and 623. I have attached proof that demonstrates the information is not accurate.

This repeated verification of incorrect information violates my rights as a consumer. Under the FCRA, you are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and remove inaccurate or unverifiable information from my credit report. Failure to do so has caused harm to my credit standing, and I demand that this inaccurate information be removed immediately. 

Please refer to the attached documentation for further proof of the inaccuracies. I expect this erroneous information to be removed from my credit report, in compliance with the FCRA, to ensure my report reflects accurate and fair data.

So, since XXXX I have been trying to get this company not only to verify that these accounts belong to me, but also confirm they are accurate. Every month since I have repeatedly asked them to do an investigation into the legitimacy of these accounts as me and my son have the same name, and they continue to tell me that they are all verified as accurate and reporting correctly. Every month they send me templates telling me that what Im looking at is correct, when I can clearly see whats being reported is reporting incorrectly. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and the same accounts have not been proven verified, as I have requested proof of method of verification and again nothing. 
Obviously, a violation of section 623 that you continue to violate! 
I have attached my most recent credit report as of XX/XX/XXXX and all my other credit reports from the last 4 months. I have also attached all the accounts listed with erroneous errors that need deleted for this reason. 
My credit is being destroyed because this company will not do its job! 
Im REQUESTING the following! 
I would like the CFPB to look into the situation with this company and have the listed accounts removed for incorrect reporting and failure to comply with section 623. 
I would compensation of {$1000.00} for each violation found on every account.
