Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AR)

Recently our home was hit head on by an F-5 Tornado. FEMA and our landlord required us to move ASAP due damages. And health risk. We are currently homeless without clothing or basic needs items. In the process we lost our vehicle because we wasnt able to secure a payment. 

Im requested that every creditor that is listed on my credit report thats delinquent or paid as agreed please place lenders special disaster code, Affected by Natural Disaster provided for us victims after recent natural disasters. The credit industry and government sent out this information to thousands of data furnishers on ways to protect victims, reminding them that using a special disaster code when reporting credit data is should be used. 

The following guidelines for accounts affected by natural or declared disasters : For open accounts current accounts or delinquent accounts, there are two options : 1. Report the account status that applies to the account and the special comment code XXXX ( affected by natural or declared disaster ) XXXX. Report the account as a deferred account, while also using the special comment code XXXX ( affected by natural or declared disaster ) For derogatory accounts, including collections and charge- offs : Continue these accounts using these statuses but add the special comment code XXXX ( Affected by natural disaster or declared disaster ). 

As a result of the tornados Im in the process of clearing up my credit history and is attempting to pay off at a lower rate and reduced repayment but as anyone it will be months if not a year before we will be able to fully play off items. The items must be accurate and placed as positive accounts once we make an agreement by both creditor and debtor signing or acknowledging by email. Its must state for exchange for settlement agreement account will be made back to normal paid as agreed and financing start over. If the creditors chose to do the above they wouldnt be required to do an investigation. They would only have to forward a email within 24 hours agreeing that they are going to do the disaster assistance. 

Until this is accomplished here is the request for investigation or deletion of account. This is for XXXX, Transunion, XXXX, XXXX and listed creditors. 

This is an action arising under Sections 5 ( a ), 5 ( m ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 13 ( b ), and 16 ( a ) of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ), 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ), 45 ( m ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 53 ( b ), and 56 ( a ) ; the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681x ; and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692-1692p and will soon be used to obtain monetary civil penalties, a permanent injunction, restitution, disgorgement, and other equitable relief for Defendants violations of the FCRA, the FDCPA, and Section 5 of the FTC Act.

Our notice will also be forwarded to the Arkansas Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission. As you are aware, The Commission is an independent agency of the United States government given statutory authority and responsibility by the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 41-58. The Commission is charged, inter alia, with enforcing Section 5 ( a ) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce ; the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681x, which imposes duties upon consumer reporting agencies and those who furnish information to a consumer reporting agency ( CRA ) or use information obtained from a CRA ; and the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692-1692p, which imposes duties upon debt collectors.

I will be discussing my complaint as a whole and it will include everything in my consumer credit report that needs to be addressed as a matter of the laws above. My complaint will appear similar to a federal civil action due to my 23 years as a federal agent with the United States government. Therefore everyone listed should easily be able to find my complaint about their reporting etc.
