Subject : Dispute of Incorrect Credit Reporting Due to XXXX  XXXX Bankruptcy Discharge Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal dispute concerning inaccurate information on my credit report by XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. I filed for XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) on XX/XX/year>, and it was discharged on XX/XX/year>. This was a no-asset XXXX  XXXX case, where all dischargeable debts, whether listed or unlisted, were discharged under 11 U.S.C. 727 ( b ).

The following accounts are inaccurately reporting late payments and charge-off statuses, despite being discharged. The screenshots of the accounts are attached.

Under 11 U.S.C. 524 ( a ), the discharge injunction prohibits creditors from reporting debts as delinquent or attempting to collect on discharged debts. Additionally, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), credit bureaus must accurately report the status of discharged debts. 11 U.S.C. 727 ( b ) ensures that the discharge covers all pre-petition debts, whether listed or unlisted, except for specifically non-dischargeable debts.

Please investigate and update my credit report to reflect the discharge of these accounts and remove any reported late payments or charge-off statuses.

On XXXX XX/XX/2023 I received an email from XXXX XXXX saying that TransUnion had dropped my credit score by XXXX points because of an inquiry. When I looked into who had made a credit inquiry it showed a company called " SyncB ''. I have no idea who XXXX is and I had NOT authorized ANYONE to check into my credit! 

Then I contacted TransUnion twice today and was on the telephone with the first helper for XXXX minutes before the phones didn't communicate anymore. So, I called back right away and was told by the second customer service person ( which in his case is oxymoronic ) that I needed to contact YOU to issue a report for TransUnion to even begin the dispute. 

Then after contacting YOU, I hear on the recordings that I need to contact the credit reporting agency first to have them do an inquiry ; but, TransUnion says I have to contact you people first to get a report BEFORE they will even check into things. I believe this is ridiculous in as much as I am the victim and I have to jump through more hoops to get something straightened out on my credit report instead of TransUnion simply doing their job to HELP the consumer- not pile things up for us!
