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. (MA)

See Attached. Transunion has violated my rights under the FCRA by willfully being noncompliant to 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) by not following procedures to follow maximum possible accuracy when preparing a consumer report. On the XXXX XXXX # XXXX, this is a charged off account meaning it is closed because the debt has been cancelled, you can see there was no adequate investigation performed. It says the last payment made is XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  but if you look at the payment history it has XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  marked as 30 days late but how can that be if in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  the payment status was current? in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  they both say 60 days late but it's impossible to be 60 days late two months in a row. In XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are all reporting as 30 days late but how can that be accurately reporting if it's impossible to be 30 days late for three consecutive months? Under 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) congress made the finding that 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. I've pointed out all these inaccuracies after Transunion 's Investigation yet they still reported back the account as updated and verified which goes directly against each law I have mentioned in this complaint.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 60 days 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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!

However, Sallie Mae has not deterred from collecting efforts and has been calling me on a daily basis demanding payment on an account that should be on deferment. The form was e-mailed by me and the school and it was also faxed. However, the collection continues.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). 


According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. 

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

Based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

I have been sending information and notifications to the bureaus for months to dispute some accounts that are in my credit and I think they are not accurate, and they have never answered to this. The have never responded to me, even by email. According to the law, they have to report what is happening with my case. I think this is unfair that I have to come to this for them to take me into account.

XX/XX/year>, I learned that there was a new hard credit inquiry on all of the following credit reports : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. It was a hard inquiry from Capital One Bank. I have not given my consent for Capital One Bank to pull my credit. 
I tried to contact Capital One Bank on XX/XX/year>, using the phone number provided by the credit reporting companies. I found myself stuck in a loop of menu options, NONE of which were relevant to my issue ( all of the options required me to provide my account number, but if Im calling for an account that isnt mine, what do I select? ). I was finally able to speak to someone by picking the wrong option. The person eventually told me that instead of contacting Capital One Bank, I should have contacted XXXX XXXX. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX, waited on hold for several minutes and was disconnected. 
I looked for an email address for Capital One, any email address at all, and could not find one. Their chatbot on their website is useless, as well, it does not help with this issue.
