I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction.

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

I have American express lowes pros credit card, I used it for online purchase of XXXX and based on past activity i have accumulated around XXXX points. I use the points to pay of the balance sometimes when its small and this time the system wasn't allowing me to pay it with points leading to confusion and delays. Due to the delays I ended up paying the charge of XXXX XXXX day after the due date and they have charged me an exorbitant {$31.00} as late fee. 

When I chatted with customer care they now tell me that I can't pay with points ( I have screenshot of the chat ), which was never communicated to me and are refusing to waive the fee. Now the system graciously allows me to pay the late fee {$31.00} with my points, which indicates its a glitch on their end.

" 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 XXXX 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.

I have tried repeatedly in vain to dispute inaccurate information reflected on my Transunion Credit Report. They first would not allow me access to their site, and now they do not have a functioning dispute resolution process on the site. I will attach screenshots of the non functioning webpages. 

Transunion is not only preventing me an opportunity to dispute inaccuracies but is harming me by continuing to include them. The failure to allow me an opportunity to dispute the inaccuracies I feel is a violation of my privacy rights. I have made repeated attempts to dispute the inaccuracies. 

To me it appears that they are creating an intentional system of obstacles so as to prevent consumers an opportunity to exercise their rights under the FCRA. 

Their false report data and the lack of an opportunity to challenge it has lead to the following damages : 1. denied opportunities for credit which have harmed my ability to pay bills and access credit I was otherwise entitled to be extended.

2. allowed possible identity theft to occur on my name and credit history.

3. violated my rights to privacy in my financial data.

In order to document the websites lack of functionality see the time elapsed in the screenshots, showing how the page for disputes merely remains blank indefinitely, not just a failure to load. Also see attachments denying me access to my own information and the opportunity to dispute/optout.

On XX/XX/year> I was called by a number that said XXXX XXXX XXXX early in the morning to alert me that my debit card was red flagged for suspicious activity. I had to close all my accounts related to the card and the card itself. Later in the day, the same number called and said my account had been compromised and I needed to transfer the funds out of my account before the fraudulent attempt would complete their scam. I learned that the number used was called a spoof number, the name and bade ID given to me was invalid and I transfered {$7100.00} into an account at SoFi bank where the scam artist linked his account to. I called the number on the back of my card from another line while this man was waiting for the funds to go through because I had a weird feeling. They said hang up, he is scamming you by using a XXXX number. It was too late, my account was drained in less than a minute. It all was a planned scam to make me nervous from the morning, knowing that I would be confused and at just the right time using just the right person to sound like a real XXXX rep tricked me into wiring them all my savings. I just purchased a new home. I can't pay the mortgage and a man I never met has robbed me of all my earnings. I can't sleep, I can't eat, I'm so sick to stomach all the time and can't imagine how this country is allowing people to use our own technology against innocent civilians that now have nothing and getting away with it.
