XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Georgia XXXX SSN : SS # : XXXX DOB : Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the negative marks on my credit report related to several accounts. The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX late payment account XXXX XXXX XXXX late payment account XXXX XXXX charge off account XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX collection account I am disputing these negative marks because they are inaccurate and do not reflect the true nature of my creditworthiness. Firstly, I would like to point out that I have been a responsible borrower and have always made payments on time. However, due to unforeseen circumstances such as a sudden medical emergency in my family and loss of job, I had faced financial difficulties and was unable to make timely payments. 

Regarding the charge off account with XXXX, I believe that there has been some mistake or error on the part of the bank. I had made all my payments on time, and I was not notified of any issues or non-payments prior to the account being charged off. Furthermore, I have not received any communication or correspondence from XXXX regarding the matter. 

Regarding the collection account with XXXX XXXXXXXX I am not aware of any outstanding debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have never received any notice or demand for payment, nor have I been contacted by any representatives from the company. 

In light of these discrepancies, I would like to request an investigation into these negative marks on my credit report. I am willing to cooperate with any investigation or provide any additional information or documentation required to clear my name. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CO)

On XX/XX/year> I engaged the chat function on TransUnion.com website, after successfully logging in. The reason for wanting to engage with someone for help on TransUnion was their company was not allowing me to access my Credit File to check it for accuracy. I was connected to a chat agent named XXXX. XXXX informed me that while I have XXXX open Disputes that are active, I can not access my Credit Report, or even see any status on my open Disputes. 

I believe this is a violation of FCRA and/or CFPB. If there was any suspected fraud occurring or even if there was not, and I was monitoring for any reason, such a home purchase or even applying for a credit card, everyone should be able to access their report. This is my information. TransUnion only uses it to make money by selling my information.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: DISCOVER BANK (MI)

I made a purchase with my Discover card for a purchase at XXXX XXXX and never received the purchase through the shipper. I immediately contacted Discover and advised that I had not received the purchase and was issued a temporary credit for the amount in question. Discover never requested any information or explanation of details regarding the missing packages. I then noticed that the amount temporarily credited to my account was put back on my account prior to proper notice and ability to further dispute pushing my account at the account limit. I contacted Discover today to be told they could not dispute theft. This is not in the terms of agreement and again no details were asked from prior to denying my disputed claim. I made a police report, however, they never received it because I was unaware of any additional information being needed. This is not upholding their terms of their credit card agreement to protect their consumers in the event of an issue. Also, not properly notifying prior to placing this charge back on my account has placed me in a very difficult financial position without any consideration to my finances or credit. Discover siting that the retailer gave proof of shipment therefore the case was closed, without listening to their actual customer or asking for information from the customer and only leaning on the information of the retailer. Discover did not do a thorough investigation because the agent told me to try to make a claim through the shipper when this is what Discover should have done for the purchase amount.
