Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet Experian is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. Experian and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form XXXX : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

I have reached out to the following account below and talked to them about the issue with my account as reported by the EXPERIAN. They have advised me that they will correct the credit report accordingly and change the balance to zero, however, as I reviewed my recent report, the balance remains unchanged. I am not sure how the EXPERIAN came up with this remark. They have failed to investigate properly. Also, the comments do not conform to the payment history that is being shown in my report.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with fees charged
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CO)

As I'm attempting to pay down my car loan I've noticed that there's no way to apply an extra payment to principal only. Wells Fargo continues to apply this to interest and fees. I am currently 3 months ahead on my payments and no matter what when I apply an extra payment it continues to apply a certain amount to the interest despite being ahead. The only way to apply additional payments to principal is to add it on to an automatic pay option. There are even fees that are being paid that I don't understand or can not tell what they are. I'm not certain why I have to pay future interest that hasn't yet occurred. For example if I pay off my car now then I would have paid interest that never would have existed increasing the overall cost of the car.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IN)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding their failure to provide me with the Method of Verification for items on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), consumers have the right to request and receive the Method of Verification when disputing inaccurate information on their credit reports. 

On XX/XX/2024, I submitted a dispute to TransUnion regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. Per the FCRA, TransUnion had 30 days to investigate the disputed items and provide me with a response. However, despite my request, TransUnion failed to provide me with the Method of Verification within the required 15-day timeframe after my initial request.This is a clear violation of the FCRA, which states that if a consumer requests Method of Verification , the credit bureau must provide it within 15 days. Failure to do so undermines my ability to effectively dispute inaccuracies on my credit report and violates my rights under federal law. 

These accounts are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action against TransUnion for their non-compliance with the FCRA.

Enclosed with this letter are copies of relevant documents, including my credit report, dispute correspondence with TransUnion, and evidence of their failure to provide the Method of Verification within the required timeframe.
