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

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

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (OH)

Received the statement from XXXX XXXX XXXX  account credit card with charges for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX ) for {$1.00} XX/XX/XXXX and {$99.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. These charges were not recognized by me, so I called the phone number and the person I spoke to said it was for a gym membership or fitness program that would be billed monthly in the future. I did not sign up for any fitness program and had no reason to do so as I belong to the XXXX  and have access locally to any fitness programs that I need. The woman that I spoke to said that she could cancel the monthly membership, but could not cancel the initial charges, she did say that she could offer me XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX of the charge and when I said I did not want them, she said she could offer me her employee discount toward some XXXX XXXX XXXX  something. I then told her that I was going to report them to the state Attorney general and she said that they would not be able to do anything about it. I then called Comenity bank who is the bank that the card has come from ( recently changed from the previous bank. I spoke to one XXXX who said he was going to transfer me to someone that could help and then the line went dead. 
I did report this to the XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX via an email complaint. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called the XXXX XXXX card number and reported this to them. They started a fraud investigation and stated that they would cancel the card and send me a new one. Any resolution could take up to 90 days. I told them I did not want a new card, to just cancel the old one. We have paid the bill, minus the {$1.00} and {$99.00} charges. 
I heard from the AG office today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) who stated that they were not the right agency, and that I should report this to the CFPB, and gave me the phone number. After calling, I decided to submit the complaint online.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc. (FL)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE for their violations of multiple consumer protection laws in the handling of my account. The actions taken by CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE are in direct contravention of several regulations designed to protect consumers. The specific violations are as follows : 1. **Failure to Provide Validation Information** : CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE has not provided the required validation information for the alleged debt as mandated by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ). Despite this, they have placed a collection account on my consumer report.

2. **Violation of My Right to Dispute** : I have not been given a chance to dispute the account, which is a violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). This provision mandates that consumers must be given the opportunity to dispute the validity of the debt before any adverse actions are taken.

3. **Use of Deceptive Practices** : The collection agency is violating my consumer rights by employing false, misleading, and deceptive means in their attempts to collect this debt. Such practices are in direct contravention of established consumer protection laws.

4. **Unauthorized Reporting to Consumer Reporting Agencies** : CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE has no authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without providing all legally required disclosures. This constitutes a clear violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ), which stipulate the requirements for accurate and lawful reporting of debts to consumer reporting agencies.

The actions of CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE have caused me considerable distress and have negatively impacted my credit report and overall financial well-being. I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) take the following actions : 1. **Investigate the Practices of CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE** : Conduct a thorough investigation into the practices of CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE to ensure compliance with all applicable consumer protection laws.

2. **Enforce Corrective Measures** : Require CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE to remove the collection account from my consumer report until proper validation information is provided and I am given an opportunity to dispute the debt.

3. **Ensure Compliance with Disclosures and Dispute Rights** : Ensure that CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE provides all required disclosures and adheres to the right of consumers to dispute alleged debts.

4. **Prevent Future Violations** : Implement measures to prevent future violations of consumer protection laws by CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICE and other collection agencies.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response. Thank you for your assistance in protecting consumer rights.

Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in compiling and assessing consumer credit information. It is essential that they fulfill these responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. The banking system relies on fair and accurate credit reporting, and unfair reporting practices undermine public confidence, which is vital to the banking system 's integrity. I never provided explicit, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, violating 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This has led to alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

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.
