Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MO)

I wrote to request that items that are unknown to me be removed. I just learned about this law today. Per FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), you have four business days to remove or prohibit any content or objects. This is something I already mentioned in my prior complaint, and I'm mentioning it here once more.

XXXX XXXX I deposited a check for {$15000.00} into a new account at Ally bank. Within a couple days, my account was inexplicably put on some sort of suspension. I was contacted by both email and phone to resolve the issue. I called in multiple times and spoke to INCREDIBLY RUDE people in the " loss prevention '' office. I told them multiple times two things : 1 ) my husband has to assist me with finances and he had to be on the call and 2 ) I am on the XXXX XXXX. Instead of offering any semblance of understanding and compassion, this instead seemed to irritate them further. 

To date, and despite the fact that I called in and answered their absurdly probing questions about the source of the money ( XXXX XXXX  via my husband 's company for which I performed work and was being paid ), they continue to not convey access to my money. 

If this hold continues, I'm contacting legal counsel and pursuing action under any statute we can find, including americans with disability  act.

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CARD 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

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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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!

They knew the accounts had received multiple fraudulent charges, so I sent them the police report and FTC report to have the account deleted. They then sold the same accounts to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, when they knew they were deleted and paid, due to Identity Theft. Is that not illegal? Is that ethical?

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem.

My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns about the recent denial of my credit card application with your company, as indicated in the denial letter dated XX/XX/XXXX reference # XXXX. Upon thorough review, I believe there may be grounds for reconsideration. 

I wish to draw your attention to the provisions of both the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) as they relate to my application. TILA defines credit as the right granted by a creditor to a debtor to defer payment of debt or to incur debt and defer its payment. Additionally, the ECOA expressly protects applicants from discrimination based on the exercise of any right under this chapter, including the right to credit as defined by TILA.

The denial of my credit card application has raised concerns about a potential connection to discrimination. I firmly believe that the denial of credit, especially when tied to the exercise of a protected right under the ECOA, may constitute a form of discrimination. I am seeking a detailed explanation of the specific reasons contributing to the denial, with a focus on ensuring compliance with both the TILA and ECOA. 

Furthermore, I would like to express concerns about the potential withholding of my access to securities, which may raise issues related to securities fraud under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a consumer, I am aware of the importance of fair and transparent practices, and I seek assurance that my rights are fully respected in this matter. 

In accordance with the Federal Reserve Act Section 16 Part 1 and 2, I consider the credit application to be a security. As such, I request the issuance of the credit card in exchange for the credit application. I believe that addressing this request will contribute to a resolution that aligns with legal standards and principles.

Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters. I look forward to receiving your response.

Dear [ XXXX TRANSUNION XXXX ], I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the lack of progress regarding my dispute of fraudulent activity on my credit report. I filed a fraud claim on [ XX/XX/XXXX ] regarding [ listed items in each attachment ] The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) mandates a response from credit bureaus within 30 days of receiving a dispute. It has now been 56 days, and I have yet to receive any communication regarding my claim. 

This lack of response is unacceptable and a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. These fraudulent entries have been on my report for a significant amount of time, and your continued inaction is causing me undue harm. 

Due to your failure to comply with the FCRA, I am prepared to take the following actions : File a lawsuit against your bureau. 

I demand immediate action on my dispute. Please remove the fraudulent entries from my credit report and provide me with a written confirmation of this change. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
