Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Greetings. Over the last 2 years, I have sent more then 20 disputes to XXXX and Transunion. The accounts in question are the following " charge-off '' accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX 
Additionally, I have filed 24 CFPB complaints, in total, regarding the same issues with these same two credit bureaus. After each dispute, these companies would improperly reinsert inaccurate information on my consumer reports. I have notified these companies of the various violations of the FCRA, Consumer Privacy Act, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the FTC act, that both XXXX and Transunion have violated. Furthermore, I have followed the opt-out methods outlined in 12 CFR 1022.25. To do so, I contacted the date furnishers that report to the credit bureaus and each has confirmed my decisions to opt-out of any and all reporting of my account information. After making said request, the information is still reflected on my credit report. There are also violations in the form of unsolicited inquiries on my credit report. The consumer reporting agency may not provide a consumer report to a user under FCRA section 604 unless it has reason to believe that all of the consumer report information it includes pertains to the consumer who is the subject of the users request. I have contacted XXXX and Transunion, and they have not provided documentation showing that I have provided written instructions authorizing access to my consumer file. While filing these disputes, it came to my attention that the charged-off accounts that are negligently reflected on my account, classify as income for the data furnishers that provided the account information. Per the Internal Revenue Manual, companies must report any taxable amount of a canceled debt as ordinary income, and provide me with a 1900-C to accurately file my taxes, which I have yet to receive. If XXXX and Transunion are truly conducting investigations, as they purport, these discrepancies could have been quickly address and rectified. Instead, I have been in a constant battle with both companies to correct my consumer report, while being denied access to my credit, for the last 2 years. In the attached documents, you will find more than 15 violations of federal law, that can be easily verified and corrected by XXXX and Transunion. I am aware the CFPB has taken steps, via a recently filed lawsuit, to protect consumers from these " sham '' investigations. This matter is handled quickly and accurately to prevent further hardship on my family and I.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX, Experian, and XXXX for their continued failure to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the XXXX XXXX XXXX account. Despite my repeated requests for correction, including disputes submitted on XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, the errors remain unresolved, constituting violations of federal consumer protection laws. 
Discrepancies and Errors Identified Late Payment Reporting Discrepancy : A 30-day late payment for XX/XX/XXXX is reported inconsistently across the credit bureaus. However, my payment history reflects timely payments before and after this date, and no substantiated evidence of a late payment has been provided by the credit bureaus or the creditor. 
Inconsistent Data Across Bureaus : The closed date for this account is inaccurately reported or omitted by certain credit bureaus. 
Payment statuses and account descriptions are inconsistent, with one bureau indicating Account closed by consumer and another marking it as Closed or paid account/XXXX  balance. 
Violation of FCRA Standards : Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies are obligated to ensure the accuracy of consumer file information. This obligation has been disregarded, as evidenced by the unresolved errors in reporting. 
Failure to Provide Notice as Mandated by TILA : According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The reported late payment for XX/XX/XXXX raises concerns about the creditor 's compliance with this requirement. 
Impact of Inaccurate Reporting The inaccurate reporting has significantly harmed my creditworthiness and caused undue stress. The lack of timely correction has further eroded my confidence in the accuracy and reliability of credit reporting practices. 
Desired Resolution Immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation for XX/XX/XXXX from my credit report with XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. 
Written confirmation from each credit bureau confirming the correction. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will pursue further action, including potential legal proceedings and filing additional complaints with relevant regulatory agencies. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
