Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AR)

I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of the XXXX XXXX account # XXXX on my credit report. This account has been placed into collections without my consent, which is a clear breach of my privacy. Additionally, the reporting across the XXXX major credit bureaus is inconsistent and contains inaccuracies : XXXX : Last active date is listed as XXXX. 
XXXX : Last active date is listed as XXXX. 
TransUnion : Last active date is listed as XXXX. 

Despite these dates, the account shows no late payment status on any of my files, yet it has been incorrectly sent to collections. This situation is not only confusing but also potentially damaging to my credit profile. 

Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c, credit reporting agencies are required to maintain accurate information on consumers. The discrepancies in the reporting dates and the fact that the account was sent to collections without any late payments constitute violations of this statute. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy. These inconsistencies violate this provision. 

Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The placement of this account into collections without my consent is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of a debt. Furthermore, the unauthorized collection status violates 15 U.S.C. 1692f, which forbids unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt.

Request for Immediate Action : Given these violations, I am requesting the immediate removal of the XXXX XXXX account # XXXX from my credit report with all three credit bureaus. Additionally, I ask that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report that reflects these corrections.

700 Credit LLC/XXXX accessed my credit on XX/XX/year> without my consent or a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681b.

I did not initiate any transaction or relationship with 700 Credit LLCXXXX that would give them lawful access to my credit report. Under the FCRA, companies may only access credit reports for specific purposes, such as when a consumer applies for credit, or when there is a legitimate business need initiated by the consumer. This unauthorized soft inquiry, while not directly affecting my credit score, is an unlawful invasion of my privacy and an infringement on my rights as a consumer under federal law.

This unauthorized inquiry poses a risk to my personal and financial security, as it involved access to sensitive information. 700 Credit LLCXXXX willful violation of the FCRA reflects negligence and disregard for consumer rights. Under the FCRA, I am entitled to statutory damages for this violation, even if no direct financial hard occurred, as the law prioritizes consumer privacy and security.

Relevant Laws : - 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( FCRA ) : Limits access to consumer 's credit report to specific permissible purposes- 15 U.S.C. 1681n : Entitles consumers to statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} for willful non-compliance with the FCRA, even if no actual damage occurs.

Requested Remedy : I request the CFPB 's assistance in ensuring that 700 LLC 1. Ceases any unauthorized access to my credit report in the future.

2. Pays statutory damages of {$1000.00} for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 3. Takes steps to prevent future unauthorized credit inquiries from occurring.

First of all, I tried to add this to the most previous complaint but there is no way to add anything even though it says that it is open. Why is this? This is an ongoing issue and I would really like Experian to correct what is incorrect. 

I did EXACTLY what it says on the Experian website of what to do if you want to report inaccurate PERSONAL INFORMATION. 

I think the arrogant, antagonizing response I got from " XXXX '' in the " fraud '' department should be posted for everyone to see. These people need to close down. 

It says on the Experian website that one can not dispute personal info online but only by phone, or mail. I called the NUMBER THEY LISTED. I WAITED ON HOLD FOR TEN MINUTES AND I GET THIS MAN NAMED XXXX WHO OF COURSE, SPEAKS WITH AN ACCENT THUS, THIS IS A CALL OUTSOURCED NOT IN THE XXXX. 

If that didn't feel uncomfortable enough, I want to say that having to give my SS number XXXX XXXX is enough to make anyone scream. 

I told XXXX the XXXX XXXX XXXX list XXXX is NO LONGER VALID IT HASN'T BEEN VALID FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS AND IT BELONGS TO SOMEONE ELSE. 

I GAVE HIM MY VALID XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I TOLD HIM THEY HAVE AN APARTMENT ADDRESS THAT HAS NOT BEEN VALID FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. ABOUT 25 YEARS TO BE PRECISE. 

THIS ANNOYING MAN STARTS BABBLING ABOUT THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT AND I COULD XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I SAID I AM THE ONE WHO OWNS THIS CREDIT REPORT, I AM THE ONE THIS INFO IS ABOUT AND I AM INFORMING YOU PER YOUR OWN XXXX CREDIT AGENCY AND YOU ARE TOO XXXX LAZY YOU ARE JUST RECITING THIS FAIR CREDIT ACT AND THEN I ASKED FOR THE NUMBER OF THE FEDERAL STATUTE OR ACT OF THE FAIR CRDIT BLAH BLAH BLAH AND HE COULD NOT PROVIDE IT.

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, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

My account with Experian was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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.

Experian 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 am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized.
