Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I received an emailed about my information being in the XXXX data breach so I pulled my credit reports including XXXX along with Transunion and found there were multiple accounts that are inaccurate and should not be on my credit report. I understand mistakes happen but this needs to be fixed expeditiously because these accounts are damaging to my credit report and I dont have the luxury to just wait around and let the problem fix itself by your agency. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) ACCURACY OF REPORT : Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

I know that under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. If you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof within 15 days after your investigation, you must remove the accounts and or the information listed below : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : XXXX I also noticed there is a payment indicator history that conflicts with the payment status of the referenced account.

My account with 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 me 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. 


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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I looked at my credit report back on XX/XX/year> and noticed some things were not accurate. I sent a letter to EXPERIAN on XX/XX/year> and asked them to investigate the completeness and accuracy. I received the results on XX/XX/year> ( electronically ) and noticed they did not fix anything. This resulted in EXPERIAN breaking Federal Law. 

According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) it states that ( b ) Accuracy of report- Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about who the report relates. 

So I then asked them to provide me a description of the investigation ( Tracking # XXXX ) according to 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) : ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure - A reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by no later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. EXPERIAN failed to complete this action. Due to this, EXPERIAN is breaking the described laws.

EXPERIAN has violated the following : According to 15USC 1681i ( 5 ) - ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; According to 15 USC 1681s-2- ( 1 ) Prohibition ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

I am writing to urgently seek your assistance regarding an alarming error on my credit report, which has significantly impacted my financial standing. Despite my consistent efforts to maintain an impeccable payment history, I have encountered a distressing issue with my credit report. 

Upon reviewing my Consumer Reports, I discovered a late payment entry associated with my XXXX XXXX  account ( Account Number : XXXX ). This entry is entirely inaccurate, as I have never missed a payment on this account. The presence of this erroneous late payment is not only damaging to my credit score but is also causing undue stress and jeopardizing my financial stability. 

Consumer Reporting Agencies have a critical duty to report consumer information with the highest level of accuracy. This incorrect entry undermines the trust I have placed in these agencies to reflect my financial behavior truthfully. I have always been meticulous about paying my bills on time, and this discrepancy is both unwarranted and unjust. 

I request that the CFPB intervene and conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. I urge you to review my payment history with XXXX XXXX  and provide concrete evidence, such as detailed statements, to substantiate the claim of any late payments. If such proof can not be furnished, I demand that this late payment record be promptly corrected to reflect its true status as on-time. 

The presence of this incorrect information on my credit report is causing significant distress and impeding my ability to secure necessary financial opportunities. I respectfully request your immediate attention to rectify this error and restore the accuracy of my credit report. 

Thank you for your understanding and prompt assistance in this critical matter. I look forward to your swift resolution and confirmation that my credit report has been accurately updated.
