Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

I demand that the following items be deleted immediately from my credit report :

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MA)

I filed a claim with Dividend Solar Finance in XXXX.Original claim number : XXXX, They responded with a lame response that indicated they were not responsible for the faulty installation of my solar panels that are not operating sufficiently and also caused consideral damage to my roof. XXXX XXXX is the company we bought the panels from and they connected us with Dividend XXXX  while they were in my house to give us the financing immediately. The two companies appeared to be in collaboration to get senior individuals with good intentions to purchase the solar panels while providing them financeing. Their response told us that they did not have any responsibility on the panels and it's the suppliers responsibility, since XXXX XXXX has filed bankruptcy and there is no one to service our panels. They also indicated that I should call XXXX XXXX the supplier and when I try to reach them on the number they gave us, an auto reply service answers saying they are not responsible for panels installed and call our installer. 

NO ONE Is taking responsibility and I want this settled. the damage done to our roof and property far exceeds any benefits we received from solar energy generated, especially since we were told that the converter box is faulty as are several panels. 

I beseech the US Consumer Affairs department to help us out. We are over XXXX XXXX XXXX and living on limited income and this is NOT fair. Please help and open this case up again. PS. I still continue to pay my monthly loan payment even though my panels are faulty and not producing what they were intended to produce. I have NO recourse but to pay so they don't report me to the credit bureaus for non payment.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MA)

This is not a complaint about any particular credit card company, although my recent experience is with Capital One. It is exceedingly unfair that while credit card charges are applied to my account instantaneously, credits or refunds take several days, sometimes longer. It seems that the delay has been normalized and institutionalized by the banking industry and Regulatory appears to not consider it important. 
There is no justifiable reason that a credit or refund can not return money to an account as quickly as a charge takes it. There should be a class-action level response to ending this money grab by the banking industry. 
Thank you.

I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report.

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.

My accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX were 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.

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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
