On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion via USPS certified mail, tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. In this letter, I requested an investigation into several inaccurate items listed on my credit report. In addition to the above disputes, I also requested the correction of incorrect personal information on my credit report. To facilitate the verification of my identity and address, I included the following documents with my dispute letter : a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and recent bill with my current address to help TransUnion verify my identity and address. 

Despite my timely and certified mailing of the dispute letter and providing sufficient documentation to verify my identity, TransUnion has refused to conduct the investigation. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), TransUnion must investigate disputed information and provide results within 30 days of receiving my dispute. 

The response I received back from TransUnion dated XX/XX/year>, stated the following : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. According to the FCRA, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate.

The items listed below are reported on my credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law regarding identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

My account with the company has always been in good standing, and I have never been late with a payment. I have a stellar payment history with XXXX XXXX, with all payments set up on Autopay. The reported late payment is due to a systematic error on their part in processing my payment.

This is a clear billing error by the company and does not reflect my actual payment history, which is a violation of USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has significantly harmed my reputation, character, lifestyle, and family.

I demand that the late payment reported in the specified months be removed.

The company is not in compliance with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the requirements for treating a payment as late. They reported my payment as late without following the law. 

According to 15 USC 1666b ( a ), a creditor can not consider a payment late if they have not adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement, including the information required by section 1637 ( b ), is sent to the consumer at least 21 days before the due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and the necessary disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date in good faith pursuant to rule 1002, but this proof was never provided.

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer.

Please remove the late payments from my consumer reports.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX 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 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. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  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!
