Company: ECMC GROUP, INC. (NJ)

Over the years I have been financially unable to repay this loan. My income tax refunds have been taken from me twice in the amounts totaling between 12 and 13K all together. Once in for the XX/XX/XXXX tax yr and once for the XX/XX/XXXX tax year. The moneys that was withheld was not applied to my student loans according to my credit reports, even though I was told by the IRS this was the reason I never received my refunds. My question is where is the money that was taken from me supposedly for this loan. Why is the loan on my credit reports multiple times totaling the same amount as day one as if they have received nothing. I can not get any loans, credit cards, or apply for a mortgage because this continues to hang over my head. It has literally been years and I am asking for help removing these inaccurate numbers from all my credit reports immediately. The credit reporting agencies have not verified any of this info to be true by sending me the original loan records minus the tax refund dollars. There for under the law they must remove the false information.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX TransUnion Dispute Department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX **Subject : Dispute of Account [ Account Number ] : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Inaccurate and Unvalidated Debt Reporting** Dear TransUnion Dispute Department, I am formally disputing the accuracy of account XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX reporting a balance of {$49000.00} and 32 late payments, as of XX/XX/XXXX. I believe this reporting violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the California Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act ( CCCRAA ) due to a lack of proper documentation and significant inconsistencies. 

**1. Insufficient Verification : ** In response to my request for debt verification, you provided an unsigned court document [ XXXX, XXXX Received ]. This document lacks the necessary signatures to constitute a legally binding court order, failing to meet the requirements for debt validation under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( FDCPA ) and California Civil Code 1788 ( Rosenthal Act ). An unsigned document is insufficient proof of a legally valid debt. And I attached the court document and highlighted where the signatures will go to show clearly that there is no signature on this document from neither parent or non-custodial parent.

**2. Inconsistent Payment History : ** The reported payment history indicates consistent 120+ day late payments for years, despite the account balance supposedly being updated to {$0.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. This discrepancy demonstrates a failure to accurately reflect the payment history and account status as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( FCRA ) and California Civil Code 1785.14 ( b ) ( CCCRAA ). 

**3. Discrepancy in Reported Balance : ** The reported balance fluctuates significantly without explanation. This lack of transparency and clarity violates the FCRA 's requirement for accurate and complete reporting ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 1 ) ). 

**4. Other Credit Bureaus : ** XXXX and XXXX have already removed this account from my credit report due to the lack of verifiable documentation. TransUnion 's continued reporting based on an unsigned document highlights a clear discrepancy and further supports the invalidity of this account. 

I demand the immediate removal of this inaccurate account from my credit report. I request that TransUnion provide a certified copy of a *signed* court order and other legally sufficient documentation that validates this debt. Without such evidence, the continued reporting of this debt constitutes a violation of the FCRA and CCCRAA.

I have attached a copy of the unsigned document you provided. I look forward to your prompt response and correction of this inaccurate reporting within 15 days Sincerely,

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I am filing this complaint against TRANSUNION, for the continued reporting of an inaccurate, unverifiable bankruptcy in my credit report. This has negatively impacted my credit profile, even though the reporting is based on improper sources, lacks verification, and violates my privacy rights. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to enforce the immediate removal of this bankruptcy and all associated accounts from my credit report.

The reporting of this bankruptcy is inaccurate, unsubstantiated, and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as detailed below : 1. Inaccurate and Unverifiable Reporting ( FCRA 1681e ( b ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) - The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of reported information. Since courthouses do not directly report bankruptcy information to credit bureaus, the source of this information is unverifiable, and its continued reporting lacks a legitimate basis. 

2. Unauthorized Public Dissemination of Private Information ( FCRA 1681b ) - The FCRA stipulates that credit bureaus can report consumer information only with consumer consent or for permissible purposes. I have not authorized any credit bureau to report this bankruptcy, making the current reporting of this information a violation of my privacy rights.

3. Failure to Provide Verification ( FCRA 611 ( a ) and 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) ) I disputed this bankruptcy with each credit bureau. Under FCRA 611 ( a ), credit bureaus are required to investigate within 30 days and delete unverifiable information. FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) further grants me the right to detailed information regarding the verification, including the name of the source and methodology used. The bureaus failed to provide adequate verification, and this bankruptcy should be removed.

4. Additional Violations and Potential Liability Under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), the FCRA protects consumer information to avoid damaging consumers creditworthiness and reputation. Sections 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o outline liabilities for willful or negligent non-compliance with the FCRA. The continued reporting of this bankruptcy is improper and subjects these bureaus to potential liability.

5. Debt Validation Requirement ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) If the bankruptcy information was obtained from a debt collector, 15 U.S.C. 1692g requires validation of the debt. If validation has not been provided, the reporting remains unauthorized and unverifiable.
