Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX TransUnion LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Dispute and Request for Immediate Removal of Late Payments Dear XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX, I am writing to dispute the late payment entries on my credit report associated with my credit accounts. This dispute is in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

FCRA Explanation : The FCRA, specifically Section 611 ( a ) and Section 623 ( a ) ( 8 ), grants consumers the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on their credit reports with the consumer reporting agencies. Section 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) provides a similar right to dispute inaccurate information directly with the entity furnishing the information. In addition, 15 U.S.C. 1681 is the overarching section of the U.S. Code that encompasses the FCRA, outlining the general provisions related to credit reporting. 

This dispute is also made in accordance with my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

FDCPA Explanation : The FDCPA, under Section 809, gives consumers the right to seek verification of a debt from a debt collector. This law regulates the practices of debt collectors, ensuring that consumers are treated fairly and protected from abusive or deceptive collection practices. The specific section referenced, 15 U.S.C. 1692, is part of the U.S. Code that details the FDCPA. 

Upon careful review of my credit reports from your respective agencies, I have identified discrepancies related to the reporting of late payments. I firmly believe these discrepancies are in violation of the FCRA and FDCPA, and I am exercising my rights under these acts for a fair resolution. 

I formally request an immediate and thorough investigation into the reported late payments on my accounts. Please consider this letter as a formal dispute under the FCRA and FDCPA, and I demand the removal of these late payments from my credit reports, effective immediately. 

I trust that your agencies will adhere to the regulatory standards set by the FCRA and FDCPA and rectify this matter promptly. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this dispute. I anticipate the resolution of this issue within the timeframes specified by law.

I filed complaint number XXXX on the CFPB website on XX/XX/ in reference to inaccurate information I saw on my credit report. I filed another complaint number XXXX on the CFPB website on XXXX in reference to more inaccurate information I saw on my credit report. I have made these inaccuracies known to TransUnion. Nothing has been corrected on my report and TransUnion has claimed to have investigated and verified the accuracy of the information. TransUnion claims to have determined the information including my dispute information. TransUnion is accepting monetary gain from the furnishers of the inaccurate accounts as well as accounts that don't belong to me. TransUnion is engaging in parroting and TransUnion has not properly investigated ANY ACCOUNT furnished to my report and continues to defame me for financial gain. TransUnion has recently been found guilty of these same offenses by the CFPB and the FTC. TransUnion is claiming to agree to settle the invoice yet is requesting authentication documents that I do not have nor am I required to possess such documents by federal regulation, yet TransUnion has attained such nonpublic information against my will. I have never surrendered any non-public information or documents to TransUnion nor instructed TransUnion on what my report should entail, although they have taken it upon themselves to assume this vital role for monetary gain. Trans Union is still allowing collection attempts despite the accounts being under investigation because TransUnion is monetizing the inaccuracies on the report.

Issue: Repossession — Notice to repossess
Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP (NJ)

On XX/XX/XXXX, my XXXX XXXX XXXX was repossessed without prior notice of default or an opportunity to cure the default. The repossession occurred between late evening on XX/XX/XXXX and the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, at a private driveway I rent. I received a Notice of XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX, but it was delivered after the repossession, on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Timeline of Violations : 1. Lack of Notice Before Repossession ( UCC 9-611 ) : I was never given proper notice or an opportunity to cure the default before my vehicle was repossessed. The first communication I received from Honda Financial Services was a Notice of Cancellation, dated XX/XX/XXXX, but received the day after the repossession occurred. This violates UCC 9-611, which mandates notice before repossession.

2. Breach of Peace and Trespass ( UCC 9-609 ) : The repossession agents trespassed onto my private property without my permission, constituting a breach of peace and violating UCC 9-609 and XXXX XXXX  trespass laws . 
3. Consumer Leasing Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1667 ) Violations : Honda Financial Servicesfailed to provide proper disclosures related to my rights and the repossession process, in violation of the Consumer Leasing Act. This failure prevented me from accessing critical information about my rights, adding to the undue hardship.

Immediate and Irreparable Harm : I rely on the vehicle for medical appointments and treatment for a torn ligament in my right wrist, including an upcoming XXXX. 
The repossession has significantly impacted my ability to work and meet family responsibilities. 
These actions have caused severe financial distress and emotional suffering due to the improper repossession and lack of prior legal notice. 

Contract Violations : Under the terms of my Closed-End Vehicle Lease Agreement, Honda Financial Services was required to provide notice of default and give me an opportunity to cure the default. These terms were not followed, and the repossession was carried out in violation of the agreed-upon procedures.

Legal Violations : UCC 9-611 : Failure to provide notice and an opportunity to cure before repossession.

UCC 9-609 : Breach of peace and trespass during repossession.

Consumer Leasing Act : Failure to provide proper disclosures about the repossession process and my rights.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : Lack of transparency regarding repossession-related fees and charges. 
New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act : Unconscionable and deceptive actions in carrying out the repossession.

Request for Urgent Regulatory Action : Given the harm caused by this unlawful repossession, I am requesting the following : 1. Immediate return of my vehicle so I can continue with my medical treatment and meet my family responsibilities.

2. Compensation for all feesrelated to the repossession and the financial impact of losing access to my vehicle.

3. A formal investigation by the CFPB into the practices of Honda Financial Services and its affiliates for their violations of state and federal consumer protection laws.
