Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AZ)

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in months that are reported late to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AZ)

( now I am really XXXX off. After sitting on hold for an hour and a half their XXXX bot just came back, said my phone number instead of its ridiculous message prompt to press XXXX, and then disconnected the call. ) The last several times I've tried to log into TransUnion, it has immediately gone to a verification screen that asks me my social security number, address, and name and prompts me to create a new password. 
I enter those things, then the next screen says " since we had trouble verifying who you are we can not show you your credit profile. Call this number. '' I've called the number every day for the last week while gathering information for my attorney, I've sat on hold for a total of XXXX hours, spoke to XXXX person, that XXXX person seemed upset, then reset my password to some generic one and said to log in and change it. That didn't work, then I was disconnected. I did not keep that password since we were changing it. So I don't have the password they created before hanging up on me, they can't let me reset my password because they somehow report all of my credit and financial, and background, addresses, phone numbers, aliases that have stolen my identity and show up, theyanage all of these things but can't verify that my SSN, address, and name belong to my name. 

This is why I'm gathering the info as I mentioned earlier. 
I've now been on hold for an hour and XXXX minutes pressing XXXX at this machine that really wants to hang up on me if I don't press XXXX every XXXX or XXXX seconds, just to gain access to my own credit report.i want everything that they have reported, that I have disputed as wrong to be cleared immediately, as they clearly are not organized enough to know what is and isn't real. 

Now I found the password in my phone, logged in with it, was kicked out, tried again with the same info, and was told it is the wrong password. It auto filled so it definitely was the same. They don't allow screenshots when they XXXX up apparently. Only the entire rest of their app which is a huge XXXX up.

I have items passed on that should be taken out or removed. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (SC)

" I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Experian tries to trick consumers looking to freeze their credit into buying a paid service. 

Free and easy access to freezing credit as an effective means of protecting one 's financial identity should be a basic and easily-accessible service to the general public. This is a free service through Experian, but some ( maybe many ) will fall for Experian 's attempts to mislead them into buying a subscription service to freeze their credit. Both XXXX and XXXX make the process immediately obvious, very easy, and FREE. 

Additionally, I would bet many would see a price and not bother freezing their credit at all, leading to higher numbers of identity fraud/theft that could have been easily prevented. 

Extra detail on the practices : Right after creating an account, Experian pushes a subscription service page, with the " No Thanks '' button at the bottom of the page. The subscription even shows as " {$0.00} '' like it could be a Federally-mandated free service they are still 'billing ' for, but it is just for the trial. Every time you log in you see that page. 

After, on the Home Page there is a menu only for their paid XXXX lock service, and from there you can access another page. Buried down on the proceeding page is a button for their CreditLock service. ( XXXX 's free credit freeze service is called " Lock & Alert '' by the way ).

On the CreditLock page there is a big, bold UPGRADE box that looks like it is the way to freeze your credit. In the fine print below they mention that their CreditLock service is separate from a Credit Freeze. An inline link to the free credit freeze is there, and a more obvious button is way down at the bottom of this page. This tool is so buried behind misleading attempts to sell a subscription, and I tend to think that is intentional. 

It is not right to take advantage of people like this when it comes to such an important area of life, where failure to be diligent can lead to considerable consequences for an individual and more.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and up-to-date information on consumer credit reports.
