My accounts 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 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!

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is all about making sure credit reporting is fair and accurate. When there are violations under the FCRA, it messes up the banking system, which relies on accurate credit reports. Unfair credit reporting can also shake people 's trust in the system. So, if any of my accounts get reported without my permission, that's basically identity theft, and it's a breach of my privacy since I should have control over what's listed. Luckily, there are laws like 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 that protect me. 
This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for accounts listed without my expressed written consent. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

I discovered that several accounts, including those from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, were inaccurately reported as charge-offs on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to accurate and complete reporting of my credit information. These charge-offs negatively impacted my credit scores ( TransUnion : XXXX, XXXX : XXXX, XXXX : XXXX ), and I believe they were reported incorrectly due to errors in balance updates, payment statuses, or dates of last activity. 

I disputed these accounts with the credit bureaus, I am requesting proper verification and validation of the debt. However, despite my dispute and the legal requirement for the bureaus to thoroughly investigate and respond within 30 days under FCRA, the inaccurate charge-offs were not corrected. These companies have either not provided sufficient documentation to validate the debts or failed to update the information accurately after resolution. 

Per FCRA Section 1681s-2, which outlines the responsibilities of furnishers of information, these companies are required to correct and update inaccurate information. The failure to resolve this after my dispute violates my rights, and I am requesting that these charge-offs be removed from my credit report immediately.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct multiple inaccuracies on my consumer report, despite my repeated efforts to resolve this issue through notarized letters directly to their office. These inaccuracies are causing me considerable harm, including denial of credit and unfavorable loan terms. 

I have discovered that my TransUnion credit report contains numerous incorrect addresses and phone numbers that I have never used or been associated with. I have lived at my current address for over 12 years and have maintained the same phone number for 13 years. No other addresses or phone numbers are valid for my personal and financial dealings. The appearance of this incorrect information is alarming and suggests a potential mix-up with my personal data or identity theft, a situation made even more concerning due to past data breaches associated with credit reporting agencies. 
Specifically, the incorrect information includes : * Addresses that are completely unknown to me, one of which is associated with a teacher 's agency * A phone number I have never owned nor utilized. 
* Employers I have never worked for being displayed on my consumer report This misinformation has already had tangible negative effects on my financial standing. For instance, I was recently denied a loan for an automobile due to the inaccurate address details reflected in my credit report. Such errors have unjustly impacted my creditworthiness and have subjected me to higher interest rates and financial scrutiny that I should not be facing. 

The persistence of this problem despite my efforts to correct it, including sending multiple notarized letters to TransUnion, is unacceptable and negligent. It is imperative that TransUnion take immediate action to rectify these errors. 

Therefore, I urgently request the CFPB 's assistance in this matter. I ask that you compel TransUnion to do the following : * Perform a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies reported on my credit file. 
* Remove all inaccurate addresses, phone numbers, and any other incorrect information from my credit report. 
* Provide me with a revised and accurate credit report upon resolution of these issues. 

I have attached copies of my previous correspondence with TransUnion, as well as evidence of my actual residence and phone number records for your reference. 

I appreciate the CFPB 's attention to this critical issue and look forward to a prompt resolution. Should you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Thank you for your assistance. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
