My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX  and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX. 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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 XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX days before the payment due date. 


XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( 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 XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against the credit bureaus for their failure to comply with the removal of unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. Despite repeated requests, these inquiries, which were made without permissible purpose, remain on my report, adversely impacting my creditworthiness. These companies had no legitimate reason to access my credit information, yet their unauthorized actions continue to affect my financial standing. Such non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) undermines my rights as a consumer and can have severe consequences on my financial well-being.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

I answered their call on XX/XX/2023, and they said they were calling from Harris and Harris Limited. I was asked to verify my name, address, phone number, and birthday. I asked them to read to me what they have down and they refused. I then asked them what agency they are calling to collect debt from, and they told me that they could not answer that until I divulged the previous information. I told them I could confirm or deny the information that they have recorded and go from there, but was not willing to outright share it, especially not knowing what agency they are calling for. They again refused to tell me, so I told them I had to believe that they were scammers and to STOP contacting me. They started to raise their voice, so I hung up and I blocked the number ( XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ). I have continued to be harassed with calls and voicemails from this number and the new number that I blocked on XX/XX/2023. 

The voicemails are automated and claim to be from some bozo by the name of XXXX XXXX.

I have been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraudulent accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the accounts claim to be mine. I have had ENOUGH! HOW MUCH DOCUMENTATION does it take to get SOMEONE to REALLY DO SOMETHING?? LOOK at the attachments! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! You asked for Documentation and I have given it.
