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

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

XXXX is inaccurately reporting late payments on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), any report that includes information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity should be excluded from a credit report. Since this information is currently included in my report, it constitutes an inaccuracy. XXXX has also taken an adverse action against me by closing my account rather than filing arbitration to resolve the issue : pursuant to our account agreement. 
Furthermore, the FCRA specifies that any entity providing information to a credit reporting agency is required to ensure that the information is complete and accurate. If they find that the information they provided is not complete or accurate, they must promptly notify the credit reporting agency of this determination. They are also obligated to provide any necessary corrections or additional information to make the report accurate. Continuing to furnish incomplete or inaccurate information would be considered willful non-compliance, which is punishable by law.

To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against XXXX for their posting of incorrect information provided by XXXX XXXX. This action has resulted in an unjustified immediate drop in my credit score by over XXXX points. 

XXXX has failed to resolve a billing dispute, filed in XX/XX/2024, within the legally mandated 90-day period, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ). Despite this, XXXX has fraudulently reported this unresolved dispute to the credit bureaus, including XXXX, causing unwarranted damage to my credit score. 

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1666, specifically 1666 ( a ) ( 1 ) and 1666 ( b ), XXXX has no legal right to collect or report the disputed amount of {$72.00}, nor any associated fees. Consequently, I demand the immediate removal of all erroneous and fraudulent information from all credit bureaus, including XXXX. 

Failure to comply with this demand will result in further legal action, including claims for damages due to the impact on my credit score and the financial harm caused.

I previously sent a letter asking for the documentation you used to verify these late payments, such as a transactional history, since what's reporting is not in line with any of my records and I know for certain that what's reporting is incorrect and inaccurate. Late payments affect my scores by a great deal, for sure you know that. How would you feel if the late payments reporting are not true but it keeps on weighing down your scores.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and California Laws Dear SYNCB/XXXX, I am writing to address the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, which is a violation of both federal and XXXX  state laws. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and XXXX  identity theft and consumer protection laws, this reporting has been done without my explicit consent. 

It has come to my attention that SYNCB/XXXX  has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report, violating both federal law and the XXXX  Identity Theft Statute under Section 530.5 of the XXXX  Penal Code, which criminalizes the unauthorized use of personal identifying information. The FCRA mandates that a consumers consent is required for such reporting activities, as stated under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

Furthermore, XXXX  Civil Code Section 1785.25, part of the XXXX  Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act ( CCCRAA ), emphasizes that no consumer credit information should be furnished without proper authorization, and such reporting without consent is a direct violation of my rights under both federal and state law. 

I assert that I have not provided any consent to SYNCB/XXXX  to report any information to my credit report. This lack of authorization constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, causing potential harm to my credit standing, and represents a disregard for the legal protections set forth by federal law and California law. 

I demand that SYNCB/XXXX  immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as required under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Section 530.5 of the XXXX Penal Code. Failure to comply within the next 30 days will be treated as intentional noncompliance, subjecting SYNCB/XXXX  to penalties under applicable federal and state laws, including those governing identity theft and consumer fraud in XXXX. 

This is not a negotiable request ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations that protect consumers from unauthorized and harmful credit reporting. I expect prompt rectification of this matter, ensuring that my rights under these laws are fully respected. 

Done in good faith.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

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 XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
