To whom it may concern : The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives me the opportunity to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate. This law requires all data in a consumer 's file be documented and validated before it can be used by creditors, so I take this seriously! The allegations of delinquency and derogatory behavior against me are false. I will fight back with all my strength! Your report accuracy is crucial. The allegations you are reporting do not meet federal or state requirements for reporting, so they can not be confirmed. I challenge this claim because it lacks compliance by meeting some basic standards that would make me feel more confident in what is being said. You are required to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know should be in compliance with regulations. We need to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format, as this is required by law ( FCRA ) as well as reporting standards XXXX XXXX. However, I request evidence that shows why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. The proof of a permissible purpose for the inquiry or account within my report must be included. This letter serves as notice that you are not doing your job properly. It is imperative for this issue to be resolved immediately, or else there could potentially be serious consequences I'm giving you 30 days from the date of this letter to resolve this issue, otherwise there could be consequences. I would like to receive physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. The listed claims appear to be inaccurate. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations are not true or I'll delete them immediately if that is indeed the case. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am writing to bring specific inconsistencies in my credit report to your attention, specifically pertaining to billing errors as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) under the billing error category : World Finance - XXXX ( XXXX ) The creditor 's failure to accurately reflect a payment made by the obligor or credit issued to the obligor on a statement. 

( XXXX ) A computation error or similar accounting error made by the creditor on a statement. 

It is my knowledge that the creditor failed to furnish me with a statement 21 days prior, which ought to render any ramifications of late payments regarding the above linked accounts. I am in pursuit of concrete evidence from the creditor 's bank records that will support the assertion that I failed to make a payment, resulting in an erroneous designation as late - a sign of an invoicing error - therefore. 

I humbly request that the subsequent entries be promptly updated on my consumer credit report to reflect their current status as follows : " PAID AS AGREED ''

CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) CC : South Carolina Attorney General ( Complaint Filed ) CC : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX : Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) CC : XXXX, Equifax, XXXX Dear XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ), I am writing to dispute the charge-off that appears on my credit report for account XXXX. I believe that this charge-off was the result of multiple violations of federal law, including the Uninformed Decision Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 ( a ), the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( g ) ( 2 ), and the Adequate Notice Law ( 1643 of 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( k ). Therefore, I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report. 

Firstly, I was not properly informed of my rights and responsibilities under the Uninformed Decision Law. This law requires that creditors provide consumers with certain information, including the cost of credit and the consequences of non-payment, before they can legally charge off an account. I believe that I did not receive adequate information regarding my rights and responsibilities, and as a result, I made an uninformed decision. Such notice may be given to a cardholder by printing the notice on any credit card or honest on each periodic statement of account issued to the cardholder or by any other means reasonably assuring the receipt thereof by the card holder. 

Secondly, I have not received any documentation from the creditor showing that I owe the debt in question, which is a violation of the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law. I am therefore unable to verify the accuracy of the charge-off. The only evidence of this debt was the agreement but the agreement, but that agreement was null and void because I made an uninformed decision, I did not understand this agreement and it was not clear and conspicuous. 

Lastly, I do not believe that I received adequate notice from the creditor regarding the status of the account, which is a violation of the Adequate Notice Law. I did not receive any communication or notification from the creditor regarding the impending charge-off, and I was not given an opportunity to rectify the situation before the charge-off occurred. 
Given these violations of federal law, I request that you investigate this charge-off and provide me with a detailed explanation of why it was reported. If it was indeed the result of violations of federal law, I ask that you remove it from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Enforcement Office XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Washington, DC XXXX submitted via email : XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX Subject : Request for Monetary Damages from TransUnion for Willful Violation of the FTC Act re : CFPB Complaint number XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX FEDERAL CIVIL FORM XXXX WILL BE FILED ACCORDING Dear Enforcement Office, I am writing to formally request monetary damages from TransUnion for its willful violation of the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Act, specifically pertaining to its failure to comply with 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, which requires a consumer reporting agency to block the reporting of any information resulting from alleged identity theft within four business days of receipt of such identification. 

As a victim of identity theft, I have diligently followed the necessary procedures outlined by federal law to notify TransUnion of specific information within my file that I believe to be the result of this criminal activity. Despite my efforts and repeated notifications, TransUnion has intentionally and with malice failed to comply with its legal obligations under the FTC Act. 

Furthermore, TransUnion has demonstrated a disregard for its responsibilities by neglecting to pay monetary damages for its egregious acts, exacerbating the harm and distress experienced by victims of identity theft. 

Therefore, I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) pursue monetary damages against TransUnion for its willful violation of the FTC Act and its failure to provide appropriate compensation for the damages incurred as a result of its unlawful actions. 

I urge the CFPB to conduct a thorough investigation into TransUnion 's practices and impose significant monetary penalties commensurate with the severity of its violations. Additionally, I request that any monetary damages awarded be promptly disbursed to affected consumers, including myself, to provide restitution for the harm caused by TransUnion 's actions. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will swiftly and decisively take action to hold TransUnion accountable for its willful violations of federal law and ensure that justice is served. 

Sincerely, By : SIGNATURE AUTHENTICATED Agent for XXXX XXXX Principal By Accommodations Without Recourse

I found that {$300.00} was taken from my account almost over a month ago now. I live in XXXX MD and this transaction occurred in XXXX at an ATM. I was never near this location at all. I called the company immediately as soon as i noticed the funds were deducted from my account. I filed a police report immediately. The same day i submitted the police report and a formal dispute with Rush card. They told me there is nothing you can you will have to wait 10 days for our investigation and on XX/XX/2017 you will get a provisional credit. I called to check the status and they advised i will not be getting a provisional credit because they found no suspicious activity. I have phone recordings of the representatives repeatedly telling me i would get a provisional credit today and was never told anything about the investigation. I would call and be hung up on by multiple representatives and put on hold for two hours at a time being told there is no manager or there is no supervisor then being told that the manager is in a meeting that they dont know how long will last. I was promised calls backs at least 10 times from managers i never received. I have been a customer of this company for 4 years and never had anything like this happen because i protect my information. i dont believe this card company has done all it can to protect my information and this is why this is happening. I was left with my money for over a month now and my children need things. I advised the company of this and asked if there was an expedited process and i got the run around and got hung up. i was forced to wait on paying important bill and now i still dont have my money back. I know my rights and i have given this company everything that they have asked for. I used my card in XXXX Maryland around the same time it was used in Pennsylvania according to rush card representatives. how can i be in two places at one time this is impossible. i did not authorize this transaction and i would like to take legal action against the company.
