Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

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.

This is one of several times I've discovered that my credit report had inaccurate information. The three credit bureaus must verify these accounts in accordance with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not acceptable to report these accounts as unconfirmed information without validating them within the legally required time range. The following false information on my credit report has to be investigated, amended, or completely rectified : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX

I was under the impression that there would be no hard inquiries into my credit history with requests for credit limit increases and new credit products with the following dates and companies. I would not have sought the credit limit increases or new credit products if I had known or been informed that a hard inquiry would be done on my credit file. I have attempted to obtain resolution and clarification on these matters with both the credit bureaus and companies without a satisfactory resolution. 

I am therefore bringing these complaints to the CFPB to attempt to obtain a satisfactory resolution regarding these items that are now present on my credit report.

I checked my credit report and found that some of the data were incorrect. The XXXX credit bureaus are required by Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) to verify these accounts ( A ). It is not permitted to report these accounts as unverified information without giving any supporting documentation within the legally permitted time frame. My credit report lists the following issues as needing investigation and correction due to inaccurate reporting in my file.

On XX/XX/2024, I received alerts from XXXX XXXX credit monitoring and TransUnion that XXXX XXXX reported a XXXX late payment, causing a significant drop in my credit scores. This claim is completely a lie, false ; I have never been late with XXXX XXXX, and I possess valid, relevant documents to support my statement. I promptly contacted the credit agencies to dispute this incorrect information, emphasizing the urgency of processing my dispute without delay and submitting supporting documents. However, dealing with TransUnion has been a nightmare. I have spoken to XXXX different representatives across customer service, online disputes, and technical support, yet I have made no progress. My concerns and factual statements are being ignored, and my account remains temporarily suspended, preventing me from accessing the online dispute system. During XXXX of my calls, an XXXX representative was extremely rude, instructing me to call back for another representative before abruptly hanging up on me. I am being treated unfairly while simply trying to correct the erroneous and untruthful information damaging my credit score and ratings. Given this situation, I am seeking legal counsel. XXXX XXXX has acknowledged that they did not report any late payment, as I have always been punctual with my payments.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

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 XX/XX/year> to XX/XX/year> 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
