Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AR)

am writing to formally dispute the unauthorized sale and inaccurate reporting of the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX account ( # XXXX ) on my credit reports with XXXX and Equifax . The account was sold to collections without my consent, constituting a breach of privacy. Additionally, the reporting on this account is inconsistent and incorrect. I demand the immediate removal of this account from all credit reporting agencies, compensation for the damages caused, and a detailed investigation into these issues. 

Issues Identified 1. Unauthorized Sale of Account : The XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  account was sold to collections without my knowledge or consent, violating my privacy rights and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
2. Inaccurate Reporting : High Credit : XXXX : {$0.00} Equifax : {$440.00} Credit Limit : XXXX : {$300.00} Equifax : {$0.00} Last Reported Date : XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX Date Last Active : XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX Date of Last Payment : XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX These inconsistencies in reporting are unacceptable and contribute to the inaccurate portrayal of my credit profile. 

Violations and Impact The discrepancies in the reported information, along with the unauthorized sale of the account to collections without my consent, are clear violations of the FCRA and my privacy rights. These actions have caused undue stress, potential damage to my creditworthiness, and an invasion of my privacy.

Applicable Laws and Regulations 1. 15 USC 1681e ( b ) - Accuracy of Report : Credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual. The discrepancies in reporting violate this requirement.

2. 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - Reinvestigation of Disputed Information : Requires consumer reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of information.

3. 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) - Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information : Mandates that if disputed information is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable during a reinvestigation, it must be promptly deleted or modified.

4. 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information : Prohibits furnishers from providing information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

5. 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ) - Duties of Furnishers of Information Upon Notice of Dispute : Requires furnishers to investigate, review all relevant information, and report the results to the consumer reporting agencies.

6. Right to Privacy : The unauthorized sale of my account without my consent constitutes a breach of my privacy rights, which includes the protection of sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

My account with TransUnion 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 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.

TransUnion 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!

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 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. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
