Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Third Dispute Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments Reported Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for an account I previously disputed. Despite multiple requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, violating both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information reported in consumer files. The late payment notation on my account is inaccurate, and despite prior disputes, no corrective action has been taken. This failure constitutes a violation of my federally protected rights. 
TILA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must provide periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting suggests a failure by the creditor to meet these disclosure requirements, impacting my creditworthiness and ability to secure favorable terms on credit products. 
Summary of Dispute The late payments reported on my credit file are as follows : 30 days late for XX/XX/XXXX 60 days late for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX 90 days late for XX/XX/XXXX These late payment notations are inaccurate and do not align with my payment history. The lack of verification and continued reporting of these late payments suggest a failure on TransUnions part to conduct a reasonable investigation as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
Evidence of Error Although I do not have access to payment records or correspondence from the creditor, the inconsistencies in reporting highlight errors that should be verified through a proper investigation. The discrepancies between the late payment dates and my documented disputes further prove the inaccuracy of the reporting. 
I request that TransUnion reach out to the creditor directly to verify the accuracy of the reported information and remove the incorrect late payment notations from my credit report. 
Desired Resolution To resolve this issue, I request the following : Immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notations from my credit report. 
Written confirmation that the correction has been made. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including filing additional complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal remedies as permitted under the law. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust you will handle this dispute with the urgency and accuracy it requires. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Windham Professionals, Inc. (NC)

Windham Professionals called my cell phone and presented themselves as a company looking for a reference to hire my ex-wife and asked for her contact information. I have not had contact with her in 6 years and our last names have not been the same for that long. I asked if they were collecting a debt and they answered " yes '' and hung up the phone. I called the number back to see what the company was. This is the second call I have received from them after asking them never to call me again, I have nothing to do with my ex-wife or her debts. The fact that they are misrepresenting themselves, calling a mobile phone they likely should not be calling, proves this company should at least be investigated.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Third Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against your agency for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for XXXX of my accounts. Despite multiple requests for correction, including letters dated XXXX and XXXX, my requests have been ignored, violating both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Disputed Information : Late payment notations remain inaccurately reported despite my payment history showing all payments were made on time. Specifically, your records inaccurately report the following : XXXX late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. 
These inaccuracies are reflected in the reports from both TransUnion and XXXX, while XXXX fails to report this account entirely. The remarks in your records indicate " Account was in dispute- now resolved - reported by subscriber, '' yet the errors remain uncorrected. 
Violations Identified : FCRA Violations : 15 U.S. Code 1681i : Requires credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. This has not been upheld in my case.

15 U.S. Code 1666b : Creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. 
TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness. 
PAANL Violations : Under the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), creditors are obligated to provide timely statements to prevent unfair penalties to consumers. This responsibility has not been met, as evidenced by the inaccurate reporting.

Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of all inaccurate late payment notations from my credit report.

Written confirmation of the correction made to my credit file.

If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including filing additional complaints with relevant regulatory agencies and pursuing potential legal action.

Attachments : To assist with your investigation, I have included : Copy of my Social Security Number.

Copy of government-issued ID. 
Proof of address. 
Highlighted credit report indicating the inaccuracies. 
I kindly request that you provide a detailed description of the investigation process and the evidence used to validate the late payments within 15 days, as required by the FCRA. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving a resolution and confirmation of corrections within the timeframe mandated by law.

Issue: APR or interest rate — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (PA)

I utilized a promotion offered through PNC Bank for 0 % interest through XXXX XXXX. I have made my payments faithfully on time. I used the credit card for purchases in XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I paid the entire balance of those purchases. I understand that my " grace period '' is waived on all new purchases for the credit card. I also understand that my minimum payments go directly toward the promotional balance. Any amounts paid above the minimum payment goes to the highest interest balance. I contacted the credit card company on four different occasions in XXXX XXXX - the XXXX most recent being XXXX XXXX when I spoke with XXXX and XXXX XXXX when I spoke with XXXX XXXX. I was told by both of these representatives, in addition to the XXXX representatives before that ( XXXX of which is named XXXX XXXX ) that my promotional balance is {$2700.00}. They told me that in order to avoid paying ANY interest or fees on the account, I must pay any amount over-and-above that balance. On XXXX XXXX, my next credit card statement was issued. I have attached a copy of that to this complaint. That statement indicates my total promotional balance is {$2700.00}. I contacted the credit card company today, XXXX XXXX, and spoke with XXXX XXXX who indicated that I must pay approximately {$540.00} to avoid interest charges. I asked to speak with her supervisor and I was transferred to XXXX XXXX. XXXX told me that I must pay approximately {$280.00} to avoid interest charges. I asked to escalate the situation to her supervisor and XXXX indicated that she does not have any supervisors or bosses. She said there is no one else who can speak with me about the matter. I asked to file a formal complaint, to which she did file and gave me a reference number of XXXX. I also verified that PNC records all of their phone conversations. I asked whether she would review the previous calls and she said no. 
I do not understand how my promotional balance can change so drastically from XXXX person to another. I was told by XXXX representatives that it was the same - {$2700.00}. I understand a few dollars here-and-there with fees, etc. I was prepared to pay the balance of my card down to {$2700.00} to ensure I would avoid further fees or interest. However, after speaking with XXXX today, it appears that is not an option.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Dynamic Recovery Solutions, LLC (CA)

I get continuous calls and emails from a debt collection company, even though I have perfect credit and have no collections. Here 's the phone numbers and links to show this is a scam. 

I was called from XXXX - XXXX, CA and left a voicemail to call ( XXXX ) XXXX which is Dynamic Recovery Solutions. I never saw so many names, family members, and addresses connected with one phone number, that was NOT a business line. There is no reason for me to get a call from this type of company. 

XXXX And XXXX From the XXXX : This company is trying to collect on a debt that was settled by legal arbitration in XX/XX/XXXX. The statute of limitations on the original debt expired in XX/XX/XXXX, yet they continue to report an outstanding balance to the credit reporting services. This is harassment, pure and simple, and companies like DRS are little more than predators who make a living by intimidation and blackmail, even though they have no legal recourse or standing to enforce the " debt '' they seek to collect. This should be illegal, though as we all know, money buys justice, today more than ever. 

This customer had a NEGATIVE experience with this business. 
This customer WOULD NOT recommend the business to a friend, family member, neighbor or colleague. 

By XXXX On XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Just want to let all of you know how Dynamic Recovery Solutions , LLC sent me a letter home trying to collect apparently a debt from XXXX. I do n't know where they are getting personal mailing addresses, but they are. I call them and they are such a scam, they tried to go around just to get personal information. I interrogated the operator and the supervisor and we 're not specific as to where they where they were able to obtain my mailing address, their excuse was how many person had my same name, how can they believe they are contacting the right person. Do not fall for this. 

These are a few of the many complaints.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CO)

On XX/XX/XXXX I tried to use my XX/XX/XXXX American Express Reward Coupon at my local XXXX. The Reward Coupon was for a credit of {$130.00} based on my XXXX purchases on my XXXX American Express card during XX/XX/XXXX. My Reward coupon was rejected because it expired XX/XX/XXXX. I was told to call American Express to have it reissued. Today, after calling American Express at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I was told by a supervisor, XXXX, that American Express would only reissue a coupon for 50 % of the {$130.00} because the coupon had expired. I asked, " Did n't I earn all {$130.00} thru my XX/XX/XXXX purchases on the card at XXXX? '' XXXX said " Yes '', but because the coupon had expired, I was n't entitled to any of it and that they would only issue 50 % of it again as a courtesy. If I did n't accept before XX/XX/XXXX, I would not get anything. This seems like a strong arm tactic. I did n't need to use the coupon before yesterday. I need to use it now for our XXXX grocery preparations. American Express is bullying us on this issue.
