I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I'm dealing with a really tough situation that I want to explain in simple terms. 

First, I tried to open business accounts at different banks, but they all said no. They told me it's because of something called XXXX. This was a sign that something was wrong. 

Then, I applied for an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. But here 's the problem : they never got back to me about my application. After waiting for a whole month, I decided to call them. They told me I already had an account with them. I told them I didn't make that account, but they didn't believe me. Now, it's been about two months, and they still haven't fixed it. They're saying it's a case of fraud, and I have to deal with a special process to sort it out. 

I checked my XXXX reports to learn more. It was frustrating to see that there were XXXX or XXXX different names listed, and they weren't spelled like my name at all. Some even seemed like girl names. Also, there were addresses I've never lived at, but they seemed to have a connection to my last name. 

I tried to fix this mess. I asked them to take out the wrong names and addresses from my records. I also made sure to lock my records so that no one else can mess with them. But now, I'm seeing more banks on my records that are close to where I live. I've never done any business with them, but they're saying things about me that aren't true. 

I reported the identity theft to the right people, and I even have a paper that proves it. But even after all that, I checked my credit report and saw things that didn't make sense. There were things listed that I didn't recognize, like addresses I've never been to. 

What's making me even more worried is that I'm seeing hard inquiries from places like XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX Bank. But I never asked these places for anything. It's making me anxious because it feels like someone is pretending to be me. 

So, I'm writing this letter to ask everyone who has the wrong info about me to fix it. I just want them to take off the things that aren't true. This whole situation is really tough for me, and I hope they can help me make it right. Thanks for listening.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

I have multiple cards with Payment Protection on them. I have started benefits on them and offered all information to get my benefits approved. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and have been multiple times. My accounts are all in good standing but because I have had multiple benefits they have given me a really hard time. My doctors and staff has verified I was there and also I added a letter from my provider. They give me the run around and have stressed me out to the point I feel like its causing my sickness to worsen now. 
This is the Payment Protection Program I pay every month offered by Syncrony Bank. 
They have been rude people working from their homes with kids in the background people just disconnect the line after being on the phone for an hour. Im in tears asking for answers and No one helps they treat me awful and even with my team of people at the hospital trying to help it just never goes anywhere. I am more than frustrated and feel like Im being profiled and treated unfairly. Something needs to be done so that other people in my same boat dont go through this. I pay a lot of money each month and I have the right to be able to be treated fairly.

I've been dealing with a credit report nightmare for the past few months, and I'm at a bit of a loss on what to do at this point. 

I had six accounts listed as 180+ days delinquent from my student loan servicer on all three of my credit reports after not having checked it for several months. I contacted my student loan servicer, and not only was I current ( I take being punctual with my payments seriously ), but they also never reported any of my accounts as delinquent. To verify that this information was correct, my servicer opened an investigation and confirmed it as accurate. They also provided documentation stating such. I opened a dispute with the credit bureaus and provided the substantiating documentation my servicer provided. That was late XXXX, and nothing has been changed. I even opened the disputes a second and I believe a third time, to no avail.

My accounts 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/updated.

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.

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!
