To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion Bureau for their failure to properly investigate and correct inaccurate information on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
On XXXX submitted a dispute to TransUnion Bureau regarding a late payment reported on my XXXX XXXX, account number ending in XXXX. I have never missed a payment for this account and requested that the credit bureau either provide proof of the alleged late payment or correct the error to reflect on-time payments. 
TransUnion Bureau responded, stating that the late payment had been " verified. '' However, they failed to provide any documentation or proof of the alleged late payment, nor did they explain the steps they took to verify the information. This indicates a failure on their part to conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation as required by the FCRA. 
After receiving this unsatisfactory response, I contacted the credit bureau again to demand proper proof or the removal of the inaccurate late payment. To date, TransUnion Bureau has not provided any sufficient evidence to support the claim of a late payment, nor have they corrected the error on my credit report.

As this inaccurate information is negatively affecting my credit score, I am requesting the CFPB 's assistance in resolving this issue. Specifically, I am asking for : 1. A thorough re-investigation by TransUnion Bureau with clear documentation or proof of the alleged late payment, if such exists. 
XXXX. The immediate correction of my credit report if no evidence of a late payment can be provided. 
3. Confirmation that TransUnion Bureau is following proper procedures for handling disputes in compliance with the FCRA.

Please find attached copies of my previous correspondence with TransUnion Bureau, including the original dispute letter and their response. I would appreciate your help in ensuring that this matter is resolved fairly and that TransUnion Bureau is held accountable for their failure to follow federal guidelines.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this issue. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: MOHELA (CO)

I was recently notified that my credit score had dropped by XXXX points. Upon investigation, I learned that XXXX is reporting student loans of $ XXXX for " Mohela '' and another $ XXXX for " Mohela/Dept of Ed. '' These are plainly and clearly duplicate accounts that resulted from Mohela 's recent restructuring. They say it will eventually disappear, but there are news articles to suggest otherwise. XXXX is very quick to dismiss my disputes, saying the information is valid. Common sense and a tiny bit of care would lead anyone to realize if I had a $ XXXX loan for years and suddenly I had a nearly identical and additional amount owed ( the difference amounts to a monthly payment being reflected on the most recent, not on the older account that should no longer exist following the internal transfer ), then this can not be valid. Student loans are not taken out in tens of thousands of dollar increments! But probably XXXX doesn't have any college-educated people on staff, so this may be lost on them.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 those account 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. 


( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 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 XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

I found out that my identity was stolen and my accounts were used in fraudulent activities online. I immediately reported this to the company and bureaus. I even called and requested for XXXX today to kindly delete and close the account that got compromised but they insist on keeping it on record for 7 years. Not to mention that I was sick and almost died on XX/XX/XXXX and they added a late payment on that same account. I told them about the situation and the bureaus but they still refuse to help me to this date. I have been going back and forth since the beginning of XXXX. That is very unfair. I request for this account to be closed and deleted from my credit reports. I am willing to pay the dues if I have to, but please delete this asap. I expect nothing more from XXXX because I now know how inconsiderate they can be, so yes, if they want my money, just take it, but delete this account from my credit reports.
