Consumer complaint received 2024-09-20
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

I demand that the following items be deleted immediately from my credit report :

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion 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 Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion 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 Processed Late by the Creditor : I made the payment on time, but due to an internal processing delay by the creditor, the payment was marked as late. I have attached bank statements showing the payment date, confirming that the payment was submitted before the due date.

System Error in Payment Posting : There was a system error on the part of XXXX XXXX which led to a delayed posting of my payment. I have included email correspondence with their customer service confirming this error. 
Inaccurate Late Fee Notification : I was not informed of any pending late fees or penalties before the payment was processed, which further proves that the delay was caused by their internal system error and not by a failure to pay on time. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion 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

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

I am writing in response to your recent decision indicating that you were unable to process my dispute due to an unclear or illegible request. I find this response unsatisfactory, as I was emphatically specific in my initial correspondence, outlining the inaccuracies that require investigation. 

I respectfully remind you of your legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates that you investigate any dispute submitted by a consumer in a timely manner. I complied with the guidelines under the FCRA by clearly identifying the account in question and specifying the nature of the dispute. The details I provided included the following : Account Name/Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX Dispute Reason : identity theft, and account reporting inaccurate and incomplete information by failing to mark account disputed. 

This information was explicitly outlined, and I am confident that it met the standard for requesting an investigation. If there was any issue with the legibility of the request, I would appreciate specific feedback on which aspect of my correspondence caused confusion. However, it is my belief that this response is an attempt to circumvent the FCRAs requirements and delay your obligation to investigate. 

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), if the disputed information can not be verified, it must be removed from my credit report. I expect you to adhere to this provision and conduct a thorough investigation of the disputed information. Failure to do so constitutes a violation of your duties under the FCRA. 

Please initiate the investigation and delete the inaccurate information from my credit file. I would appreciate receiving confirmation of these actions. Should you require any further clarification or additional documentation, please contact me directly at the address above. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I was reviewing my Consumer Report recently and I discovered that there were accounts reported that do not have permissible purpose. The information that is being reported is adversely affecting my character, my creditworthiness, my reputation, and my mode of living as a consumer. This is a clear violation of several federal laws that are governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the FDCPA, and Title 18 under identity theft. 15 USC 6801 and 6802, talks about disclosure of non-public personal information and privacy obligations but it is clear that since my identity has been used, XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX have not upheld their obligations as consumer reporting agencies. Since there was no permissible purpose, per 15 USC 1681b, and non-public personal information was transferred without authorization, per 15 USC 6801, this is a clear indication of identity theft, which is stated in 18 USC 1028.
