Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I am writing to report a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) concerning the repeated inaccurate reporting of charge-offs and collections on my credit report. Despite my efforts to resolve this issue, I have encountered persistent inaccuracies that have negatively impacted my credit score and overall financial health. 

Key Issues : Repeated Charge-Offs and Collections : I have noticed that the following accounts have been repeatedly reported as charge-offs and collections each month, which is misleading and damaging to my credit profile XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account # XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX Failure to Provide a 1099-C : Despite the accounts being classified as charge-offs, I have not received a Form 1099-C for any of these accounts. According to 26 U.S.C. 6050P, creditors are required to issue a 1099-C when a debt of {$600.00} or more is canceled. The lack of this form raises concerns about the legitimacy of these charge-offs and reflects a failure on the part of the reporting creditors. 

Inadequate Response to Disputes : I have contacted the credit bureaus multiple times to dispute these inaccuracies, but my requests have gone unanswered or inadequately addressed. This lack of response violates my rights under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires credit bureaus to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. 

Impact : These inaccuracies are causing significant harm to my credit score and making it difficult for me to obtain new credit. I am concerned that this situation will continue to affect my financial future if not addressed promptly. 

Desired Outcome : I am seeking the removal of the inaccurate charge-offs and collections from my credit report and require the issuance of the 1099-C forms for the accounts listed above.

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Illinois [ XXXX ] Transunion Consumer Solutions XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Pennsylvania XXXX XXXX Consumer Dispute Center XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Georgia XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, The CRAs have a grave responsibility to ensure the accuracy and fairness of my consumer report. Despite multiple dispute attempts the CRA 's continue to incorrectly report inaccurate and misleading information to my consumer report, specifically the listed charged-off account ; XXXX XXXX. The account was CLOSED XX/XX/XXXX and is actively reporting " last activity '' of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

This information is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and is adversely affecting my credit profile. The continued reporting of this account as charged off with a remaining balance is not only inaccurate but also misleading. The Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) clearly defines a charged-off account as one with no remaining balance, in addition too, becoming TAXABLE INCOME to the consumer. To which I have never received any 1099C. The CRA 's action in reporting this account with a balance constitutes a violation of the FCRA by providing false, misleading, and unverifiable information. 

Furthermore, the inclusion of these accounts on my credit report without my explicit consent is a clear violation of my privacy rights. The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies, such as ( Transunion, XXXX, XXXX ) have a duty to protect consumer information and ensure its accuracy. The CRAs actions in this matter represent a blatant disregard for these regulations. By reporting inaccurate and misleading information about me, the CRA 's have caused significant harm to my credit standing, limiting my access to credit and financial opportunities. This is a direct result of their ( Transunion, XXXX, XXXX ) negligence and failure to adhere to the FCRA. I demand the immediate deletion of the aforementioned charged-off account from my credit report. 

Additionally, I reserve the right to pursue all available legal remedies, including but not limited to monetary damages, for the harm caused by the CRAs violations of the FCRA. I have attached a copy of my credit report for your reference. I expect a timely response to this dispute, including written confirmation of the accounts deletion from my credit report. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
