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

My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 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 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company 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.

XXXX is inaccurately reporting my student loans to all credit reporters and miscalculating my balance on their website/records. I was checking my experian credit report when I found instead of 8 student loans in total ( unpaid and paid/closed ) ( I have only ever taken out 8 student loans in total ), there were 16 in total ( 8 open and 8 closed ). The balances have also doubled. 8 of the student loans are appearing from " department of educationXXXX '' and XXXX additional ones are being reported from " XXXX '' - it appears this duplicate issue occurred during the transfer process causing in these " duplicate '' student loans with wildly inaccurate balances and payment histories and has not been fixed since XXXX of 2024. My current balances should also only be XXXX K instead is being reported I owe XXXX XXXX in student loans. XXXX loans have been paid in full. Additionally, XXXX is currently placing my current payments towards XXXX already paid off student loans- meaning my payments are not being added to the principal amount and I'm accruing interest on the other active loans. I have reached out to both XXXX and XXXX credit reporters with no resolution. I have opened multiple incident tickets with XXXX, been escalated on the phone, uploaded supporting documentation with no resolution. It was been 3 months of these consistent issues. I have also filed disputes with the credit reporters and no resolution has been made. Please review attached documentation for supporting materials.

XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report. 

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Despite multiple requests for correction, including letters dated XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX my requests have been ignored. Both XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX have already removed the inaccurate late payment from my credit report after confirming the error, yet TransUnion continues to report this inaccurate information, negatively affecting my credit score. This is a violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations : According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The late payment reported by TransUnion suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information in consumer files, which has not been upheld in this case. 
TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) requires accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The continued reporting of an inaccurate late payment by TransUnion has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. 
Evidence of Removal by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have removed this late payment entry due to inaccurate information provided by XXXX XXXX. Their actions further prove that the late payment should be corrected or removed from my credit report with TransUnion as well. 
I am formally requesting that the inaccurate late payment notation be removed from my credit report immediately. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including potential legal action and filing additional complaints with the relevant agencies. 
XXXX Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction.
