Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

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 stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

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 : TEXAS XXXX 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 TEXAS XXXX 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 : Payment Was Made On Time : I made the payment for XX/XX/XXXX on time. I have provided bank statements and payment confirmation receipts showing that the payment was processed before the due date, but the late payment was inaccurately recorded. 
Clerical Error at TEXAS XXXX XXXX : After reviewing the account, it became evident that the late payment was a result of a clerical mistake on the part of TEXAS XXXX XXXX. The payment was mistakenly applied late despite being made on time. I contacted customer service, and they confirmed the error. I have attached email correspondence from TEXAS XXXX XXXX confirming this issue. 
Account Closure : The account was fully paid off and closed as of XX/XX/XXXX, and no further activity or payments should have been reported after that date. The presence of a late payment in XX/XX/XXXX is not only inaccurate but also impossible given the account 's closure status. I have attached the account closure statement from TEXAS XXXX XXXX as evidence. 

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

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, {$4500.00} I am writing to formally request the removal of inaccurate information reported by your company to the consumer reporting agencies. On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested verification of a debt and its accuracy. By the date of XX/XX/XXXX, your company verified it. I believe this information is incorrect and has negatively impacted my credit report, affecting my character, reputation, and livelihood.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, as a furnisher of information, you are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy of information provided to consumer reporting agencies. The reported charge-off, according to IRS guidelines , is considered income, not a debt, and should not appear on a consumer report.

The IRS defines a charge-off as income, which is not to be reported on credit reports. Therefore, the current reporting is inaccurate. Furthermore, the IRS requires a 1099-C form for cancelled debts over {$600.00}, which I have not received.

By law, you can not furnish information you know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. I demand that you cease reporting this inaccurate information immediately and remove it from my credit report.

Please consider this letter as formal notice of the inaccuracies, and I request that you address and rectify this matter promptly. You have 10 calendar days to remove this entry from my credit report.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
