I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

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

My account with the company has always been in good standing, and I have never been late with a payment. I have a stellar payment history with XXXX XXXX, with all payments set up on Autopay. The reported late payment is due to a systematic error on their part in processing my payment. 

This is a clear billing error by the company and does not reflect my actual payment history, which is a violation of USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has significantly harmed my reputation, character, lifestyle, and family.

I demand that the late payment reported in the specified months be removed.

The company is not in compliance with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the requirements for treating a payment as late. They reported my payment as late without following the law.

According to 15 USC 1666b ( a ), a creditor can not consider a payment late if they have not adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement, including the information required by section 1637 ( b ), is sent to the consumer at least 21 days before the due date. 

The company failed to send the periodic statement and the necessary disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date in good faith pursuant to rule 1002, but this proof was never provided. 

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer. 

Please remove the late payments from my consumer reports.

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 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

I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

I have provided all four pieces of information and expect these listed accounts to be deleted and blocked within four business days of your receipt of this notice ; otherwise, you are in violation of my rights under the FCRA once again! If you do not initiate an investigation regarding my dispute and delete this information within 4 business days of receiving this notice per 15 USC 1681c-2, as is my right under the FCRA, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Each violation of the FCRA allows for damages of {$1000.00} should this matter be brought to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) essentially states that if a person willfully violates any requirement of the FCRA with respect to a consumer, they are liable to that consumer for any actual damages suffered as a result. If actual damages can not be determined, the consumer can still receive statutory damages ranging from {$100.00} to {$1000.00}. This provision ensures that consumers are protected and have recourse if their rights under the FCRA are willfully violated.

Should you continue to report this information, this leads way to you violating 15 USC 1681s-2, because you now have reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate, so you would be WILLFULLY continuing to violate various federal laws by continuing to report this information thats harming my character. Also For the agency XXXX XXXX XXXX has been reporting multiple late payments on my credit report has violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) or 15 USC 1681 ; I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I have felt suicidal lately as a result so I am requesting this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner. Also, this agency has violated the timing of payments law under 15 USC 1666b.

15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of payments ( 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 Your agency is the creditor and the open end consumer credit plan is the credit card account of the consumer, which is me. 
These reported late payments are not only a violation of federal law, but they have damaged me in the form of defamation of my character and your agency has committed aggravated identity theft, because I didnt give you written permission to report this information, which is a clear violation of the permissible purposes section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, pursuant to 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ). 
I am demanding you to notify the consumer reporting agencies to correct the above late payments from my consumer report to a status of paid on time, never late.

I have disputed the three bankruptcies listed on my credit report with transunion. They have failed to removed the inaccurate information from my report and stated that the information was verified.

I also disputed this information with XXXX which is a third party that purchased information from PACER. XXXX stated that they did not supply TransUnion with this inaccurate information.
