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

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

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

I am writing to address significant violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) that have recently come to my attention. Consumer Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) play a vital role in assessing consumer credit information. It is concerning that Big 3 CRAs rely on data from smaller agencies, like XXXX, for reports. Identity theft is a major concern. Reporting unauthorized accounts without consent is a serious breach of privacy. CRAs are legally liable for noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, with potential penalties of {$1000.00} per violation. The unauthorized buying and selling of personal information poses a significant privacy issue. 
Compiling a report without consent amounts to identity theft. Privacy is a right, not a privilege, and I demand prompt removal of identified information. I followed the requirements of 15 U.S.

Code 1681c-2 meticulously, but was not provided clear information about reporting, as mandated by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. By invoking my rights under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 and 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), I seek a swift resolution. I insist on immediate removal of identified items within four days. Furthermore, proper notification for investigative consumer reports, under 15 U.S. Code 1681d, has been overlooked, a clear violation. I expect prompt attention and full compliance with the aforementioned provisions. Failure to do so may compel legal action. Given the comprehensive evidence I have provided, I am pursuing a resolution to address the FCRA violations and the infringement of my privacy rights.
