Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) contacted me regarding an alleged debt. I informed them that I do not owe this debt and that it is not mine. Despite this, I continue to receive communication from them regarding this account. I was told it was a web bank account that belonged to a business. I checked my credit report and found this account on my TransUnion and XXXX credit file. I disputed but it was not removed. Apparently, they are not verifying this account because it would have been removed from my credit file. 

I have also attempted to provide proof of my identity and request verification of the debt, but my requests have not been acknowledged or addressed adequately. 

This situation has caused me significant distress and has negatively impacted my credit report, as I am concerned about the potential consequences of this erroneous collection.

At this point I am very frustrated with the credit bureaus. I have been in contact with them for quite some time trying to get errors on my reports fixed and still there are numerous issues that have not been addressed. This is my third complaint and I have also filed complaints with other agencies. They have violated the laws of credit reporting in many different ways. Failing to conduct a proper investigation, failure to provide results of their investigation and failure to respond within 30 days. My credit is suffering due to their lack of accountability on this issue and I am considering legal action against the credit bureaus and the furnishers, which is my right if it is not fixed in 15 days.

My account with TransUnion was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

I demand the late payment reported to be removed. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. XXXX XXXX XXXX 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!

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent letters to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax requesting an investigation into inaccurate information on my credit report.

Dear Sir/Madam : My credit report contains inaccuracies regarding late payments. I'd like the credit bureaus to erase the inaccuracy from my credit record. On this account, I was NEVER LATE. I'll say it again : I've never been late with a payment. I can challenge erroneous status on my credit report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. These credit agencies are providing inaccurate data, and I'm curious as to what they're basing it on. They can't prove I was late, and they aren't CORRECTING OR UPDATING this information in their records.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

I am filing this complaint regarding inaccurate and unauthorized collections being reported on my credit report by XXXX. I have previously requested that the debt XXXX reporting these accounts cease communication with me under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ), which states that debt collectors must stop all forms of communication after a cease and desist request.

Despite this, these debt collectors are still reporting the accounts to the credit bureau, which constitutes a form of communication that directly impacts my credit score and financial standing. This reporting violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) because the information is inaccurate and continues to be reported even after my dispute.

I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my XXXX score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX Account XXXX Date of Late Payment : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : The late payment reported was due to a clerical error on the part of XXXX XXXX. My payment was made on time, as confirmed by my bank records, but it was incorrectly recorded as late due to an internal processing delay by the creditor. I have verified with my bank that the payment was processed and cleared on the due date. 

Evidence Provided : Bank statement showing the payment made on the due date. 
Confirmation from XXXX XXXX acknowledging the error in processing the payment. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
