Consumer complaint received 2023-09-10
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC (PA)

I sent a letter to the XXXX credit reporting bureaus to investigate XXXX accounts on my credit report that are in collections and that they verify my debt belongs to me with the original contract that I signed with the original creditor and none of them did so within 45 days. I asked that they all be removed from my report if verification with my signature wasnt provided during the timeframe and nothing was deleted. All that happened was the restarted the timeframe to the current date and began trying to collect on the debt. So now I am in a worse place since the timeframe has restarted. I never received letters verifying this debt from a single XXXX of these collection agencies nor have I ever been given an opportunity to dispute that the debt wasnt mine. I never spoke with any one on the phone or in person. I feel as though this has all gone against fair debt collecting rules and I would like them to be deleted from my report completely.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 USC 1681 Section 602 ( a ), it is imperative that consumer reporting agencies conduct their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a profound respect for consumers ' right to privacy. XXXX and XXXX, being consumer reporting agencies, hold a significant role in safeguarding our private information. 

Under 15 USC 6801, it is the Congress 's policy that financial institutions must continually respect their customers ' privacy and protect the confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information. The term " Furnisher of information to credit agencies '' falls under the definition of a financial institution within this framework.

Additionally, 15 USC 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) specifies that a consumer reporting agency can furnish a consumer report solely in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it pertains. Neither the financial institution ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) nor the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX and XXXX, have obtained my written consent to furnish this information. Therefore, all forms of consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, are hereby revoked. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) dictates that a financial institution can not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without providing the consumer an explanation of how they can exercise their nondisclosure option. Regrettably, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) never informed me of this right to exercise nondisclosure. 

In direct violation of 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), XXXX and XXXX are reporting adverse account information without my permission, which is prohibited by law. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) clearly states that any person should not furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

Equally important, 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates that every consumer reporting agency must maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations of Section 1681c and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under Section 1681b. XXXX and XXXX appear to be falling short in maintaining these reasonable procedures. 

Lastly, as per 12 CFR 1016.7, a consumer retains the right to opt out at any time. I am formally opting out of your reporting services.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX continue to report inaccurate information on my consumer report. This information is damaging my consumer report and causing me to be denied credit. There are several addresses on my consumer report that DO NOT belong to me. I have requested that the reporting agencies remove this inaccurate information and they have failed to comply. 

15 U.S. Code 1681- Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) 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.

( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers.

( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers.

( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.

( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.

The last year or so Ive been seeing some red flags. Please allow me to explain it the best way I know how. 
I have a credit card from XXXX. The due payment date is the XXXX of every month. But I like to pay early so I may pay it somewhere around the XXXX of the month. On my credit report I was receiving from XXXX XXXX, It shows where Maybe on XX/XX/XXXX, I was late making that payment, somehow on the XXXX it show XXXX law had it remove. I havent notice none of this until I got tired of arguing with the companies and then I felt was putting this on my credit report.I have tried numerous times to call and speak to someone at XXXX XXXX, and I only spoke with a paralegal. I explain all the different things I felt were in correct I ask them numerous times if they could call these different businesses and find out why they keep saying Im late when Im not. To see if these different business would correct what I felt was their error. They said they couldnt do it. 
I also pay off my school loan in XXXX XXXX. 
It was showing up as late payment in XXXX. Its called XXXX, or XXXX XXXX XXXX. Was was the meaning of XX/XX/XXXX as current, when its been pay off. And other records show me as late payment. Other bills kept popping up as late payment or unknown. The reports I was getting didnt look like it came from the three major credit bureaus. I look at the way it was written up, the paper, so many unknown, what does that mean. I kept bring this to XXXX law for their assistance, and again I was getting the same respond when I did call. I had to call the places and try to get it straighten out. For months I would call them, sometimes we would aruge over the phone.Because theyre telling me, they have not report that, and I just believe they all did. I really believe inlexington law. It wasnt until I step away in XX/XX/XXXX and took timeout to go over my credit report, to find a lot of in accuracy.. I am very hurt and surprise and shock at this company. I now dont trust any repair company.

15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ] ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX XXXX and XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of XXXX compliance. Provide me with the XXXX compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated '', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

You can still log in and see your account information but you cant send or receive money.
