Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and I hope your day is going well. Im writing because I noticed that my most recent credit report contains a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX. 

I want you to know that I understand my financial obligations, and if it werent for XXXX XXXX XXXX, Id have an excellent repayment record. I have been a satisfied customer of XXXX since XX/XX/2016. Their outstanding customer service is the reason Ive remained a loyal customer, and Ive always considered it a priority to make all payments on time by setting automatic payments. Unfortunately, I was not aware that XXXX had been bought out by XXXX XXXX XXXX, due to being on military travel orders. I had no access to information about this transition as military members had no contact privileges while on training mission.Upon return from my training, I was notified of the transition and the late payment.I made it certain to pay my dues immediately upon notification. I am concerned about the repercussions of this occurrence as it has an impact on my credit score and hope that my consistency with all my previous payments is enough to prove my reliability. Your records will show that I had never been late with a payment until this unfortunate oversight, and I have been prompt with my payment since the situation was brought to my attention. 

I am planning to apply for XXXX XXXX XXXX and it has come to my attention that the missed payment on my record could impact my ability to qualify. I respectfully request that you apply a goodwill adjustment to remove the late payment from my file. 

Thank you very much for your consideration,

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification that ( 11 ) delinquent accounts were added to my credit file. After review, it was ( 11 ) US Dept of Education accountsthat were deleted in 2021 ( due to being re-aged by the original creditor ) .Pursuant to 15 U.S.C . 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion was obligated to notify me, in writing, no more than ( 5 ) business days after the re-insertion of these accounts ( this did not happen ). TransUnion received my credit dispute on XX/XX/XXXX regarding this matter and other discrepanciesfound on mycredit report. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, TransUnion made initialcontact with me -- -they provided a copy of my credit report and acknowledged that I had a dispute in progess. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the company by phone because I had not received the results of my credit dispute.I was transferred to an international supervisor by the name of XXXX. Once I was transferred, I began recording the call. I asked XXXX, on which date did TransUnion mail out my dispute results. He told me twice before opening my file, he could mail it thatday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) if it had not been mailed. After reviewing my file, XXXX confirmed that TransUnion did not mail out the dispute results. I informed XXXX that TransUnion was in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and that all items I disputed needed to be deleted. We went through the following items : ( 11 ) US Dept of Education accounts XXXX, a late payment listed on the XXXX XXXX account, ( 6 ) inaccurate addresses, and ( 2 ) inaccurate phone numbers. ( I have attached the original documents sent to XXXX for your reference ). 
XXXX advised me that all items referenced on the call would be deleted and I would receive a mailed copy of my credit file in 7-10 business days. On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to log into my TransUnion account but was denied due to an " ongoing investigation '' I never requested. Instead of deleting the items that TransUnion failed to investigate, XXXX began a brand-newdispute on my behalf. Again, the conversation was recorded, I did not request a new investigation. This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I am not opposed to litigation if this violation is not corrected immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to express my concerns about potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) by [ XXXX and Equifax ]. I believe my rights under these acts have been compromised in the following ways : 1. Lack of Consent : I have not provided explicit consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, or implied, for the sharing of my nonpublic personal information with credit reporting agencies or nonaffiliated third parties, which may constitute a violation of FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) and GLBA Section 6802 ( b ) ( c ).

2. Nondisclosure Option : I was not adequately informed of my right to exercise the nondisclosure option, as required by GLBA Section 6802 ( b ) ( c ).

3. Adverse Information Reporting : The reporting of adverse information that antedates the report by more than seven years, as specified in FCRA Section 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), is potentially in violation of the law.

4. Inaccurate Information : I have reason to believe that the information being reported is inaccurate and not maintained with reasonable procedures, as required by FCRA Section 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and Section 1681e.

In light of these concerns, I am choosing to opt-out of any services that involve the sharing of my nonpublic personal information with credit reporting agencies or nonaffiliated third parties. I kindly request the CFPB 's assistance in addressing these issues and ensuring that my rights are protected under the FCRA and GLBA.
