To Whom It May Concern, I understand the Fair Credit Reporting Act entitles me to challenge any erroneous information in my credit report. As a responsible consumer, I take this matter seriously. However, I am disappointed to see allegations of delinquency and derogatory information on my report, which are entirely false. I request that you provide evidence supporting why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. It is crucial to follow the law 's mandate that all information be documented and validated before creditors can utilize it. I'm concerned you are not fulfilling your responsibilities, and I urge you to rectify this issue as soon as possible. 

XXXX - XXXX This is completely inaccurate. - You have violated U.S. Code 15 U.S.C. 1681b - Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports. According to this law, a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumer report under specific conditions, including having the written consent of the consumer in question. I never provided such written authorization for any information to be included in my consumer report. As a consumer, I demand the immediate removal of the accounts listed in this letter. If this is not done, I will pursue monetary damages through small claims court in my city and state. Additionally, we have already filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Attorney General 's Office, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and Federal Trade Commission. 

XXXX - XXXX I believe this collection is reporting inaccurately. - By 15 U.S. Code 1692e A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. In this case, this account is reported with a lot of missing information. As these claims remain unproven and undocumented, they can not be assumed valid nor compliantly reported. I request evidence of your adherence to applicable compliance standards for this particular account. Furthermore, I must insist on the immediate deletion of these unsubstantiated claims.

I couldn't believe it when I saw inaccurate accounts on my credit report today. It made no sense since I check it regularly, and these discrepancies just appeared out of the blue. I tried refreshing my browser, hoping it was a glitch, but they didnt go away. This whole situation is deeply troubling, and Im asking that the documents Ive submitted are carefully inspected so I dont have to go through this stress anymore.

I am really upset by how my last complaint has turned out and I wish there was a way to describe the immense stress I am getting from these accounts that have been reporting inaccurately on my file- but there is none. It's getting frustrating and I really need to get a new loan but this account is stopping me from doing so.

Below is the letter i submitted to the XXXX XXXX XXXX ower. He claims that I am in brench of contract for solar panel installation i never signed or had the solar panels installed.

I am having to spend time flighting. I cancel the order In XXXX of 2023, he notified me in XXXX of this matter. This is nothing more than a strong arm method to get me to purchase the solar. 


Dear XXXX XXXX, I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding an alleged contract and payment demand from XXXX XXXX XXXX for solar panel installation. In XXXX, I met with a representative from XXXX XXXX XXXX and expressed interest in solar panel installation for my home. During the initial consultation, I consented to a credit check for qualification purposes only. I explicitly stated that I intended to secure the loan through my credit union if I decided to proceed. 

Regrettably, I was laid off later in XXXX, and I promptly informed the representative, over the phone, that I would not be able to sign the final contract for the installation. Subsequently, in XXXX, I received a notification stating that I am in breach of contract and owe {$6000.00} for labor, with the bill being sent to a collection agency. I want to emphasize that I never signed the final contract, and I firmly request that XXXX XXXX XXXX the order. 

Furthermore, I urgently request that XXXX XXXX XXXX to retract the debt sent to the collection agency and cease any further communication regarding this issue. The situation at hand is deeply distressing, and I believe it to be a case of fraud. 

I anticipate a prompt resolution to this matter and request confirmation of the actions taken by XXXX XXXX XXXX

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I have reached out to The three credit bureaus and the original creditors to try and fix this issue and I either get hung up on or flat-out ignored. XXXX XXXX told me they were going to correct it and made me wait 10 business days to see the change only to get nothing and be flat out IGNORED! I sent out letters to them to correct this issue and have not heard anything in response to my letters. This is a violation of my rights as a consumer and is gravely impacting me. I was never late on this account and need this error fixed IMMEDIATELY!

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

TransUnion 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion 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 : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion 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 payment in question was made on time, as evidenced by the attached bank statements and payment confirmation receipts.

There may have been a clerical error in reporting the payment due to inconsistencies between my payment records and the reported information. 
I have confirmed with my creditor that the payment was processed within the allowed grace period. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion 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
