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

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXXXXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Was Made On Time : My records show that the payment for this account was made on time, but there appears to have been a clerical or processing error. I have attached a copy of my bank statement showing the payment date to support this claim. 
Dispute Previously Resolved : The account was previously in dispute, and it was reported as resolved. However, the late payment was still inaccurately reported. I have attached the documentation showing that the dispute was resolved, confirming that no late payment should have been reported. 
XXXX XXXX System Error : During the payment submission process, there was a documented issue on XXXXXXXX XXXX platform that delayed the payment processing. I have attached the payment confirmation showing that the payment was initiated before the due date. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I was told by Sezzle reps, including a supervisor that the final balance of {$85.00} was used at XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. This is not possible as when I contacted XXXX in store they could not find the gift card active in their system. The link Sezzle provided me could not locate the card either. The card is not, and never has been active in their system. No one will provide the evidence that all {$290.00} was used on the card or provide me with contact information to file a fraud claim. I have the card information, a screenshot of the tracker saying the card is not found, and a photo of the customer service screen in the XXXX that says the card is not active in their system. I submitted this to Sezzle and they refuse to issue me a refund or a card that works. I am just expected to give them {$290.00} for no gift card or service.

Specifically, I am referencing 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which clearly dictates that a consumers credit report may only be furnished under specific, lawful circumstancesone of which is written consent from the consumer. Let me make this clear : I never provided your agency with any such consent to access, furnish, or distribute my personal credit information.
