Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

Upon looking at my consumer report, I've come to the realization that my consumer rights have been breached. Referring to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681a Definitions : Rules of Construction ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ), it's explicitly stated that " the term consumer report does not include any report containing information solely as to transactions or experience between the consumer and the person making the report. '' Late payments constitute transactions, and utilization reflects the experience derived from credit usage. However, TransUnion, XXXX, XXXX is indicating late payments on multiple accounts listed below XXXX ACCOUNT # XXXXXXXX XXXX ACCOUNT # XXXXXXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT # XXXX XXXX BANK ACCOUNT # XXXX and/or utilization, which are experiences created by credit usage. According to 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), " any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other, in accordance with the consumer to whom it relates. '' I never provided TransUnion, XXXX, XXXX with written instructions to include anything in my consumer report, let alone these late payments/utilization. Furthermore, as per 15 USC 1681 602 Congressional findings and statement of purpose, it's stated that " There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' It also emphasizes that the banking system relies on fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impede the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine public confidence, which is essential for the continued functioning of the banking system. The reporting of these late payments is inaccurate, and my privacy has been violated due to TransUnion 's, XXXX 's, XXXX 's infringement upon my consumer rights by allowing these late payments/utilization to be reported on my consumer report.
