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

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  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 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 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

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 hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning discrepancy in my credit report regarding late payments on my account. Upon reviewing my report, I noticed that late payments were inaccurately listed, which has had a negative impact on my credit score. I contacted the company associated with this account, and they acknowledged that there was an error on their end. They assured me that they would update and correct my account to reflect the accurate payment history. They explained that there was a system glitch that caused the late payments to be incorrectly reported. 
I find it perplexing that your bureau continues to report these late payments when other credit bureaus have already corrected the status of the account. This raises questions about the verification process used by your bureau to ensure the accuracy of the information reported. Please have this account updated : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

I received an email notice from XXXX on XX/XX/2023, indicating that a credit file inquiry was made by Bank of America. I have a checking account with Bank of America so I assumed it had something to do with that. However, today, XX/XX/2023, I received a letter that looks like it's from Bank of America that states they are " working on your application for the XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX card and need to verify the information on your application. '' I NEVER applied for this credit card and believe that it was done fraudulently by someone using my personal information. I just spoke with XXXX who put a fraud alert protection on my credit that will also be shared with XXXX and XXXX. XXXX also said they will remove the disputed inquiry by Bank of America, but informed me that I need to contact XXXX and XXXX separately to ensure that this happens there as well. XXXX also suggested that I file a complaint at FTC.gov, which redirected me here to the CFPB. XXXX provided me with a correct/safe number for Bank of America , so I will contact them today regarding the above.

To, CFPB I have tried to work this out with Experian in regard to the inaccurate information currently present on my credit report. Despite numerous attempts to resolve this matter and send letters to the creditors as well, I have not gotten a response. Neither of the addresses they are reporting corresponds to my current situation. 15 USC 1681 ( 4 ) says that they must only report accurate and relevant information. Unfortunately, the information contained in my credit report fails to meet these fundamental standards. 

The correct spelling of my name is XXXX XXXX. 
Neither of these social security numbers is mine. NEVER HAVE BEEN, but they are attached to my name. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  is my current and only address. 

I DEMANDED ALL INACCURATE INFORMATION BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY! 

I demanded that all collections be removed from my credit report. I15 USC c 1681 a 2 a1 implies that such information is intended to remain between the customer and the entity. My privacy, security and confidentiality. 15 USC 6802 says no company he's the right to report my information and they keep reporting the same inaccurate information on me year after year.

I worked at XXXX when I was XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am now XXXX XXXX XXXX. I feel like they have single-handedly caused damage to my reputation, my character, and my mode of living.

The same with the inquiries no one can show the application that I applied for a vehicle on XXXXXX/XX/year>, I wrote each one of them, but still no reply. I filed a complaint on IdentityTheft.com and I still see this on my report.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (CA)

On Friday XX/XX/XXXX a consulting client requested if she could pay me with her credit card via PayPal a total amount of {$6000.00}. I own a consulting company and we're managing a project for her team. This was a payment for independent contractors on the contract. She requested I send a request being that she could not easily find my account because I do not use PayPal in general for business. 

I received the payments split in two installments. After being charged 3 % in fees I was charged another {$25.00} to direct deposit transfer. I attempted to transfer the remaining {$1300.00} but the system said I was over my weekly limit. 

I left this alone and waited until the next day. Only to find out my account was blocked due to violation of the user agreement. In return I : 1. Reviewed the entire user agreement and found no violations on my part 2. Called the PayPal customer service requesting to file an appeal and find out why this happened. 
3. I was assured by the agent I would hear back from them in 3 days. 

I called today XX/XX/XXXX, close to XXXX and was able to connect with an agent. He explained the following : 1. My account was reviewed on the 2nd and finalized. 
2. They would hold my funds for 6 months 3. I could not refund the funds back to my client 4. They could not and would not tell me what the violation on the agreement was 5. I had no recourse to defend myself or provide any additional information that may clarify the issue itself 6. I was informed that it was a risk issue I explained on that call that : 1. I was not selling on PayPal, a client requested that I receive her payment through Paypal because she was going out of town and could not get to her bank branch in time. 
2. These funds are meant to pay contractors working on a contract for my company. 

The agent apologized profusely and was transparent enough to share that there is intentionally no disclosure of the issue by the company and there is no recourse to me as a client to defend myself or overturn their decision and treatment. Not too mention I was permanently banned from using the service. 

They are currently holding {$1300.00} in the account which is needed to pay independent contractors.

I had an extended fraud alert on my credit report with all three bureaus. I was able to successfully remove from XXXX  online and XXXX via phone. I had to submit a bunch of supplemental documentation for experian but they eventually removed it from their report as well. A few days after the removal, XXXX  initated and placed another extended fraud alert on my credit report. This prompted the other XXXX bureaus to readd the fraud alert onto my credit report. I went through the same process again and removed all three. A few days later, another fraud alert was initiated on all three reports without my consent or any documentation requesting it be added on my behalf. Frustrated, I called experian who informed me that they were able to see that XXXX was the bureau that reinitated the fraud alert. The experian representative provided me with the confirmation code that XXXX provided to them when they initiated the fraud alert ( XXXX ). XXXX keeps initiating fraud alerts on my credit report AFTER Ive submitted requests and have the fraud alert removed from my credit report. They initiate the extended fraud alert without my consent and without me submitting additional documentation to them. I can not get and keep the fraud alerts removed d/t XXXX reinstating XXXX them.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the lack of response to my previous dispute letters sent on [ date or dates ] regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite your obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to investigate and respond to consumer disputes in a timely manner, I have yet to receive any acknowledgment or resolution of my concerns. 

As outlined in my previous correspondence, I have identified several discrepancies in my credit report that require immediate attention. These inaccuracies have the potential to adversely affect my financial standing and opportunities, which underscores the urgency of addressing them promptly. 

I remind you of your responsibility under the FCRA to conduct a thorough investigation into the disputed items on my credit report and to provide me with a written explanation of the results within 30 days of receipt of my dispute letter. Failure to do so not only violates federal law but also undermines the integrity and purpose of credit reporting systems designed to ensure accuracy and fairness for consumers. 

I hereby request that you expedite the investigation of my disputes and provide me with a comprehensive and transparent resolution at your earliest convenience. Additionally, I expect to receive written confirmation of the actions taken to rectify the inaccuracies in my credit report. 

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within the specified timeframe, I will be compelled to explore all available legal avenues to enforce my rights under the FCRA, including but not limited to filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal counsel. 

I trust that you will take immediate action to rectify this matter and uphold your obligations under the law. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
