Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I am filing this complaint regarding an auto loan reported by XXXX under account number XXXX on my credit report. XXXX is reporting the account as repossessed, with an outstanding balance of {$11000.00}. This reporting is inaccurate and harmful to my credit score. 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a formal letter to XXXX disputing the debt and requesting validation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Despite this, XXXX continues to report this debt without providing the required validation, causing serious damage to my financial standing. 

XXXX has also failed to issue a 1099-C form for the charged-off amount of {$11000.00}, which is required by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) if the debt is considered forgiven or canceled. 

I believe that XXXX 's continued reporting of this debt without proper validation and the associated charge-off represents debt bondage. This practice is unfair and exploitative, as I am trapped in a cycle of credit damage and financial harm, unable to resolve the issue or escape the negative impact on my credit report. 

Actions I Have Taken : On XX/XX/year>, I sent XXXX a formal letter disputing the debt and requesting validation, as well as requesting a 1099-C form. 
XXXX has failed to provide a response or validate the debt, and the inaccurate information remains on my credit report. 
The ongoing reporting of this repossession and the inflated balance of {$11000.00} has damaged my credit score and prevented me from securing credit and housing, trapping me in a form of debt bondage.

This morning, to my surprise, I saw inaccurate accounts on my credit report, and Im still unsure how they ended up there. Ive checked my credit report many times without any issues, but today, discrepancies suddenly appeared. I even refreshed my browser, thinking it might be a temporary glitch, but that didnt remove the errors. Im asking that the documents I submitted be carefully reviewed so I can put this anxiety behind me once and for all.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Request for Removal of Late Payment Record Dear XXXX, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request the removal of a late payment entry associated with my account XXXX under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, creditors have an obligation to report accurate information to credit reporting agencies. I believe that the late payment reported on XX/XX/XXXX does not accurately reflect my payment history, and therefore violates this provision. 


Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b and 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I have the right to dispute any inaccuracies and to have them investigated. I request that you review my payment history and consider removing the late payment from my credit report. 


I have always valued my relationship with XXXX and have made all my payments on time, except for this instance, which I believe may have been an error or the result of a delay in payment processing or misreporting on the creditors part. I have attached relevant documentation to support my case, including statements that show my timely payments and other evidence highlighting the error. 


I kindly ask that you provide me with a response to this request within 30 days. Should you find that the information reported is incorrect, I would appreciate your assistance in correcting it with the credit reporting agencies. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

RE : Dispute of Incorrect Information Due to Identity Theft and National Breach Request for Deletion/Blocking of inaccurate Information Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) I just finished re-reviewing my Experian Credit Report and i noticed there is a name reporting on my credit report that is not mine. I've never ever in my life went by the name of XXXX XXXX. I've only went by the name of XXXX XXXX. 
This extra name reporting on my Experian Credit Report is tied to the following accounts listed below : XXXX. XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX. XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX. XXXX - Account Number : XXXX These accounts listed above are not my accounts and my personal information has been compromised from that XXXX XXXX. 

Legal Basis for My Dispute : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c - 2 ), I have the right to request the immediate blocking of information resulting from identity theft. Specifically, FCRA 605B provides that all credit reporting agencies must block any information that a consumer identifies as resulting from Identity Theft within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving appropriate documentation.

I look forward to a speedy resolution.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

I made the payment on time according to the information I had, but due to this miscommunication, the payment was recorded as late. This does not accurately reflect my payment behavior, and the late payment mark should be removed.

Equifax and XXXX are reporting incorrectly that I am ( 120 ) days late on the XXXX and XXXX accounts. ( Please see pages 2 6 and 9 14 of the attached credit report. I have also attached a spreadsheet with each account number ). These accounts report a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. I am not disputing any prior late payments however, these accounts are being reported as if I am past due in present day. Please keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on accounts where nothing is owed and nothing is past due. This incorrect reporting of lates is seriously harming my credit score and these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to remove these however, I have not been successful.
