Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC)

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction.

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

15 USC 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 TransUnion is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 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, lets 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. TransUnion and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report 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 Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper. 
I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I am writing to express my continued frustration and concern regarding the presence of late open accounts on my credit report. Despite my initial dispute and the provision of supporting documentation, these late open accounts persist, negatively affecting my creditworthiness. This letter serves as my second attempt to request the correction of these inaccuracies. 

The late open accounts that I am disputing are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 


I initially reported these inaccuracies to your agency on [ mention the date of your initial dispute ]. At that time, I provided all the necessary documentation to demonstrate that these late payments were not valid or were the result of extenuating circumstances. However, despite my efforts, these late open accounts continue to be inaccurately reported on my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to an accurate and up-to-date credit report. The presence of these late open accounts not only violates the FCRA but also undermines my ability to access credit, secure loans, and make sound financial decisions. 

I kindly request that your agency conducts a thorough and comprehensive reinvestigation into these late open accounts, reviewing the documentation I have previously provided and any new information that may be relevant. It is imperative that you take immediate action to correct these errors and ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my payment history.

Furthermore, I expect your agency to notify all the credit reporting agencies to which you have disseminated this erroneous information, as required by law, to prevent the continued spread of these inaccuracies.

I urge you to prioritize this matter and provide a written response within the legally mandated 30-day timeframe, confirming the correction of the late open accounts on my credit report. Please consider the significance of this issue and its impact on my financial well-being.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (IL)

I have had an account with TD Financing for several years. I set this account up on automatic payment years ago and never had an issue. I don't know if they changed systems as the website is new, but they removed my automatic payment and never said anything. I received a statement today with a {$40.00} late fee and didn't notice that they have charged me {$120.00} in late fees this year. Keep in mind my monthly fixed payment is currently is {$53.00} so the late fee almost doubles the payment. 

They also show that the monthly due is {$100.00} for XX/XX/XXXX. If my payment is {$53.00} and the late fee is {$40.00}, there is no breakdown of the other {$12.00}. I also believe that because of the late payments, they have arbitrarily lowered my credit line thus hurting my credit scores. 

Not once has someone attempted to call, text, emailed, push notification, etc to notify me that my perfect payment record seems to have some trouble. I tried to call to talk to someone and hung up after being on hold for over XXXX hours. Attached is a screenshot showing my call time. There is no way to discuss this on their website. I have since set up automatic payment again so this should not be an issue going forward.

These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress.
