Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OH)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information

On Thursday, XX/XX/2019, I made some purchases on XXXX marketplace using my bluebird card by American Express. At some point through the night their system went down and my purchases were declined even though I had more than enough funds in my account. On Friday, XX/XX/2019, I attempted to log in to make a truck loan payment to XXXX XXXX but I was unable to access my account yet again to send my payment. I always send my payment before noon so that it is delivered on time but now it is almost XXXX and I still am unable to send my payment out. My payment will now be late so I will be charged a {$30.00} late fee on it. I also have 4 credit card payments due that I am unable to make and each charge a {$25.00} late payment fee as well. I am looking at {$130.00} in late payment fees alone because I can not access my money. I have my car insurance scheduled to come out today and it will be declined as well. I tried to use an atm to pull out cash to pay for my storage locker because that payment is due today and is {$60.00} for the month. I've attempted to use my card at a gas pump to put fuel in my vehicle to get to work but it was declined so I missed a full day of work. I have a few more online purchases that I've made that have yet to hit my account but when they do they will all be declined and my orders cancelled so I will not receive the items I purchased for others as XXXX gifts in time to take them with me when I travel for the holiday. On their XXXX feed I have noticed that this has happened to thousands of customers since it began last night and not a single one has access to their money at all. A few are even stranded at gas stations or at check out lines because they can not pay for their purchases. It is the BlueBird and Serve prepaid debit cards by American Express!

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment was made within the grace period : My records indicate that the payment for the due date in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX was submitted on time, which falls within the creditor 's 15-day grace period. This makes the " 30 days late '' reporting inaccurate.

No notification of delinquency : I never received any notice or communication from XXXX XXXX regarding a delinquency, which is required by law before reporting a late payment. 
Evidence Provided : I have attached bank statements showing the payment was processed and confirmation emails from XXXX XXXX verifying the receipt of the payment. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
