Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.

Im submitting a complaint to you today to inform you I was the victim of identity theft.

Please find the ATTACHED documents to assist in the blocking of the erroneous information which is being posted to my report.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense XXXX  this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

This situation has been incredibly frustrating, affecting both my financial stability and mental well-being negatively. My credit report still includes fraudulent items from which I never benefited. Despite reporting these issues to the Federal Trade Commission, they have yet to be removed from my report.

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 Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by 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 : Payment Submitted On Time : I submitted my payment for XXXX on time, well before the due date. I have attached bank statements and payment confirmations that clearly show the payment was processed before the deadline, yet the payment was incorrectly recorded as late. 
Clerical Error at XXXX : After noticing the error, I contacted XXXX customer service, and they confirmed that the late payment entry was a result of a clerical error on their end. The payment was applied to the wrong account, which delayed its proper processing. I have attached email correspondence from XXXX that acknowledges this mistake. 
Delay in Payment Posting by XXXX : The late payment entry is also a result of a delay in AMEXs payment processing system. Although the payment was made well in advance of the due date, it took several days for XXXX to post the payment to my account. I have attached communication with XXXX customer support, where they confirm the delay in posting the payment was due to their internal processing issues, not my failure to make a timely payment. 

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 XXXX

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

This afternoon, I was dismayed to discover accounts on my credit report that shouldn't be there, and I have no clue why. I check my report often, but today there were sudden inaccuracies. I thought maybe my browser was causing the issue, so I refreshed it, but the incorrect accounts remained. To fix this, I am asking for a careful review of my submitted documents to ensure this never happens again.

I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
