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

I am writing to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning a collections account that has been severely impacting my credit report and causing me significant stress and financial difficulties. The collections account in question is identified as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX '' and I have no knowledge of its origin or legitimacy. Despite my continuous efforts to rectify this situation with the credit bureaus, the issue persists. I became aware of the collections account " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX when I reviewed my credit report. This account had a substantially adverse impact on my credit score, and I was completely unaware of its existence. The presence of this account has made it exceedingly challenging for me to secure favorable financing terms, obtain credit, and pursue my financial goals. I am writing to seek the CFPB 's intervention in resolving this issue. I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) are being violated, as I have not received sufficient verification of the debt 's legitimacy, and the collections account is unfairly damaging my creditworthiness.

My account with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 XXXXXXXX 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 XXXX  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

XX/XX/2023 I used my venmo card when I checked in at pechanga hotel for the {$100.00} deposit for incidental. That {$100.00}, can also be use towards in room charges. I checked out on the XXXX, and per pechanga hotel, they released the hold on the same day and sent venmo the final bill which is only for {$32.00}. Where that should have been processed and posted by venmo on the XXXX and release the rest of my funds as well. However that's not the case. Up to now they still haven't processed the {$32.00}, in which one of their customer service verified that they're already showing it ad being received on their end, but she doesn't know why it hasn't been processed and my funds are still on hold. So she transferred me to another debt. The lady I spoke with told me that it can take up to 12 days for them to process that and the funds won't be released until its processed. I asked her, even they already received the final bill? It takes that long? That's a no brainer. I Told her that it is a scam, that we all know that it would only take one business day to process the transaction. Or at least that's the usual banking standard time frame. And I won't take that long. I mean, yes, I get it that it can take. Thirty days for them to hold on the funds if there's no final bill from the company that sent the authorization. However, my case is different since the company have sent them the actual bill of the final bill. And yet they're still holding on my funds. This is not fair for the consumers. Are they paying us interest for the time being they have our money? No. I think these company such as venmo should have a reasonable time framed aligned with most financial institutions in this country so that they won't abuse their customers and their money.

I applied for a consolidation loan and was approved. I made an appointment to go into their office to sign the loan documents. In the meantime, I asked for a Term Sheet to examine the principle, interest rates, payments, term and interest payments along with the contractual terms. They would not send me a term sheet and said they could only talk about it on the phone because they were " sensitive documents ''. When I pressed for a term sheet, I was suddenly denied the loan.

" I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/2024 and XX/XX/2024, about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of XXXX to further substantiate my claim. 

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record! 

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to XXXX XXXX so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point. 

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done
