Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

Dear Transunion, I received your attached response to CFPB complaint number XXXX dated XX/XX/year> in which you refused to honor my request to block information appearing on my credit report maintained by you as the result of identity theft and fraud. Attached to CFPB complaint number XXXX was a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint Number XXXX which has also been attached to the present complaint for reference and as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that the contested items appearing on my credit report were opened and are presently reporting in false 'verified ' status from the involved data furnishers as the result of identity theft and fraud. In your response, you gave reasons for the denial of the block in which you determined that either 1. the request was made in error, 2. the request was based on a material misrepresentation, or 3. That I received goods services or moneys as a result of the transactions I am seeking to block. Your letter fails to tell me the source of the information you relied on in making such a determination and fails to disclose the procedure by which you obtained information about FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint Number XXXX or its contents from that source. My rights found within the FCRA entitle me to a reinvestigation of all contested items from my credit report which I asked you to block for the reason of identity theft and fraud in CFPB complaint number XXXX, and further entitle me to a written response from you which verifies the source of information you relied on in either granting or denying my original request for the information block as well as the procedures you used in order to obtain that information. Specifically, FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( 6 ) - ( 7 ) ) entitles me to disclosure of the business name and address of the source of this information as well as a detailed description of the procedure by which you obtained information about the aforementioned FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint from that source in the course of your reinvestigation. I therefore request, pursuant to FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ), that you commence a reinvestigation of the aforementioned items from my credit report maintained by you and that you provide me with the aforementioned written verification of your investigation procedure as well as verification of the source of information you relied on in your decision to grant or deny my block request. If you are unable to verify these items in your reinvestigation, then I request that the contested items be deleted from my credit report you maintain.

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, TransUnion has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

My account with XXXX, XXXX  XXXX, and XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX 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, and 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

I haven't til this day received any supporting documents bearing my signature. Only a letter saying this debt is not XXXX XXXX its with a debt collector. Even if that's possible how is XXXX XXXX reporting and Transunion verifying inaccurate information. This has caused me to be denied due to inaccurate information because Transunion refuses to do their job. Transunion have validated my rights on several grounds because they have lied as if they verified a account and they didn't and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 
The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply with this Federal Law. ACCORDING TO LETTER. THAT MEAN THIS DEBT WAS SOLD AND I NEVER RECEIVED A 1009-C FROM A COMPANY.

Please provide proof of the charge off and update the balance to {$0.00} or delete the negative payment status on this account.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
