Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (SC)

This letter is to Formally dispute the following account listed on my credit report. 

Account Type : Loan Creditor Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX I am disputing the validity and accuracy of this account because I have not received any debt validation notice from the Credit or collection agency responsible for this account. The fair debt collection, practices act, FDCPA, requires them to provide written validation of the debt within five days of me requesting it ( 12 CFR 1006 .34 ( b ) ( 5 ) ). Since I havent received such validation, I can not verify the legitimacy of this debt.

Request for verification and deletion : Therefore, I am requesting that you initiate a full investigation into the account and demand verification from the creditor or collection agency listed in my report.

This verification should include : The original credit of the debt, if applicable The amount of the debt The date the debt was incurred.

Proof that I am legally obligated to repay this debt.

If the creditor or collection agency can not provide valid verification, and validation, within 30 days of my inquiry, I demand that you completely delete this account from my credit report.

Credit reporting obligation : The Fair Credit Report FCRA 15 USC 1681 requires you to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the information on consumers credit reports. By not receiving proper debt validation, this account remains unverified and potentially inaccurate.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please investigate this dispute thoroughly and provide a written response within 30 days of receipt of this letter.

The response should include : Details of the investigation, conducted regarding verification with the creditor or collection agency. A revised credit report, reflecting any changes made based on this dispute. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My credit report is stating that I have four ( 4 ) past due payments of more than 30 days. I made an agreement at my own will with your hardship department to pay {$36.00} a month for 60 months ( 5 years ) to satisfy my obligations to your company. My payment was to be deducted automatically from my chase checking account monthly. Please see the attached statement showing the automatic drafts. I was informed my account would be closed and this was the amount due until the end of the agreed upon term. 
Attached you will find sparatic payments of {$36.00} deducted from my checking account. These payments of {$36.00} from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX which seemed to fall in line with our agreement until I checked my credit report and contacted your company. You will find that the automatic payments are not deducted on a schedule for the same day each month as agreed. Not only are they inconsistent I am being charged interest on the closed account which will accrue, and simple math will not allow {$36.00} to pay the account with increasing interest and late fees. I had contacted your company once prior regarding the statement I received and called to verify our arrangement and was told you are in good standing and the {$36.00} was all that was required. I have attached the documentation requested along with my email message through your website questioning the same issues. 
In reviewing the dates reported 30 days late XX/XX/XXXX was in good standing reporting a payment of {$72.00} which was never paid in a full payment of {$72.00}. I can only assume that there were 2 payments of {$36.00} taken in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX which totaled {$72.00} which was then applied to the account to satisfy the payment. All other months are reporting late when accordring to my bank statement attached and your companys automatic drafts they were paid as agreed.

I am requesting a thorough review of my account and reconciliation of this agreement. I am also requesting you justify this with the three credit bureaus as an error on your behalf and the removal of false information as stated by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Agency.

After speaking with 5 people for over 1 and a half hours I was told that this arrangement was not properly explained and that my account was in fact not current. But now it is? what is the truth? Completely misleading and FALSE. The agreement was made and their accounting department never applied my automatic payments that they drafted from my account. After disputing the information they stated that they were reporting accurate information but in fact admitted nobody reviewed the account for accuracy as stated in the letter I received.

Good afternoon, I opened a checking account at PNC Bank XX/XX/2018. I used my credit card to charge a required opening deposit ( For {$2000.00} ). I have not recieved a " telephone PIN '' that is needed to access the account through online banking. I was supposed to recieve this PIN via the mail. I spoke to customer service last week and they said they have not received my signature card, which I sent already. They said they would send me another copy via mail to sign and send back. 

I just spoke with customer service and they said I can't access my account and I need to wait for an " investigator '' to call me and I can't access my own money. I have followed all required procedures to open my account and PNC bank is holding my opening deposit and account hostage.
