I requested validation of this so called debt. The validation was never received. I tired this twice. The dispute was supposed to be over with on the XX/XX/2015. I thought this was taken care of because i called them asking to remove it from dispute. It is showing up as " in dispute '' ( see attached ) and should be resolved over 2 months ago. 
Due to this I have been denied my mortgage because the underwriter will not accept my file until it is out of dispute. I have faxed them to pull it out of dispute because i disputed it back on XX/XX/2015, and still showing " in dispute ''. I know my rights and i know that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and/or The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act this should be out of dispute. This company has caused me so much grief with my family and i need it to end. I am going to fax them one more time to take this out of dispute as it should no longer be.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I am submitting a complaint regarding a settled account inaccurately reported as a charge-off by TransUnion and XXXX. This account was settled for less than the full balance, yet both bureaus continue to report it derogatorily, negatively impacting my credit profile. 

XXXX reflects the account as " {$0.00} paid '' and " legally paid in full for less than full balance. '' However, this designation still adversely affects my creditworthiness, prompting my request for deletion from all three bureaus. 

These inconsistencies violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) regarding accurate reporting and 1681i concerning my right to dispute inaccuracies. Additionally, the reporting of charge-offs for multiple months may violate regulations on timely reporting. 

I request the CFPB intervene to ensure TransUnion and XXXX delete this account entirely and to work with XXXX to remove it as well. Its presence misrepresents my creditworthiness and has caused me undue stress. I urge the CFPB to take action to protect my rights as a consumer.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

My tax refund of {$3200.00} was sent to my bluebird ( American express ) account on the XX/XX/XXXX. OnXX/XX/XXXX I went online to check my account as it had been a while since I had looked at it. Upon viewing my account I saw that I had a balance of XXXX. Someone had fraudulently accessed my account and drained it to nothing. I looked in my wallet and my card was missing. I 'm unsure when or where it was stolen from me. The charhes occurred a couple weeks before I called in to file the unauthorized charges. I dis n't realize that it was even missing. It is quite previlant that it was misconduct being the money had been sithing in there for months and all of a sudden all of the money is gone in 2 days time. So o theXX/XX/XXXX I filed the dispute for {$3200.00} in unauthorized charges. I am then sent a declaration of fraud form that must be turned in before the a 10 day period, which I do. As the law states if more to me is needed for the investigation that exceeds the 10 day period then a provisional credit will be given to the cusomer. TheXX/XX/XXXX was the 10th day. I called in and they said they have not heard back from the fraud department and they could only send an email as they do n't have telephones. I said to them It is a government mandated law that I recieve prprovisional credit as the 10 days is up. They said the ca n't do anything but send an email and the would receive a response within 24-48 hours. I had no choice but to say ok and comply. 2 days later still no update so in call back. They tell me they have still heard no word from the fraud department. I ask for a supervisor, I wait 1 hour and they finally come on the.line. I ask them it 's been 48 hours and I 've been very patient. How is this ok that American express does not follow the law that is set fourth. She does n't say a word. Just keeps repeating about sending another email. Which I reply we tried the email already it did n't work. I repeat again, how is this ok that you guys do not follow the law. I should have been issued provisional credit 3 days ago. They tell me yes you did get the.form turned in in time before the 10 day period and you should have got the provisional credit. So I 'm just so baffled at this point. I try to ask her what the next step wpuld be and she hangs up on me. I call back and ask for a supervisor again and they tell me. All supervisors are busy assisting customers we can have them call you back. What is a good callback number. I give them my number. I never get a call back. The next day XX/XX/XXXX. Which is toda in call yet again, I get the same exact responses, all we can do is email the fraud department again. I 'm so frustrated at this point I do n't know what to do. How can they get away with breaking U.S LAW like this.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record.

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful.

Given that these accounts were discharged in my bankruptcy, I would appreciate your prompt attention to these matters and any guidance on how to resolve these issues.
