Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the practices of the following companies on my credit report : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the inaccurate reporting of my credit information, which I believe to be in violation of both Law 605 ( b ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( USC 1681 ).

According to Law 605 ( b ), a consumer reporting agency must ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information it reports. However, the information reported by the credit bureaus is not only inaccurate but also misleading, causing significant harm to my credit standing and financial well-being. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify this issue directly with the bureaus, they have failed to respond adequately, which is unacceptable. 

Furthermore, USC 1681 outlines the responsibilities of credit reporting agencies to conduct reasonable investigations into disputes. It is clear that the bureaus have not adhered to these requirements, as they have neglected to provide evidence to support the claims, nor have they updated or corrected the erroneous information in a timely manner.

I would like the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly and hold the bureaus accountable for blatant disregard of consumer rights and failure to comply with federal regulations and doing a proper investigation. I am prepared to escalate this issue further, including potential legal action, if this matter is not resolved promptly.

I would like a prompt acknowledgment of this letter and a detailed explanation of the actions the CFPB will take regarding this issue. Please consider this matter urgent, as continued inaccuracies in my credit report will only exacerbate the situation.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I was approved for a XXXX personal loan at XXXX with auto-payment deduction. When I completed my online paperwork, I was unable to file auto-payment. Citi 's Customer Service Unit assured me - and this was confirmed - that once I receive the check, they would make the adjustment. Instead, they assessed my loan at XXXX. I contacted Customer Service to remind them of their agreement and they refused to honor that commitment. I referred the matter to the Executive Office which assigned a reference # XXXX and they also refused to honor our agreement. The interest differential damage to me is {$320.00}.

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Complaint narrative:
These victims and survivors are being deprived of an equitable resolution under the Debt Bondage Repair Act and Experian is violating FCRA 605C by delaying the process of blocking information within 4 business days. Experian is also violating the requests of consumers who have authorized XXXX XXXX XXXX as their point of contact and as their representative. 

The Bureau is revising the text of the rule in 1022.142 ( b ) ( 6 ) ( ii ) to s

pecifically provide that the documentation, which may consist of a statement prepared by the consumer, identifying adverse items of information may also be prepared by a designated representative on behalf of the consumer.

The Bureau notes this approach will reinforce the need for consumer reporting agencies to accept trafficking documentation, as required under 1022.142 ( d ) ( 1 ), from third parties identified as assisting with or acting on behalf of the consumer The Bureau also understands some consumers who are victims of trafficking may prefer to provide the physical or email address contact information of the consumer 's designated representative instead of the consumer 's contact information. Accordingly, consumer reporting agencies must use the preferred method of contact identified by consumer pursuant to 1022.142 ( b ) ( 6 ) ( ii ) for communications under 1022.142 ( d ) through ( f ) even if the preferred contact is the consumer 's designated representative and not the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment was made within the grace period : My records indicate that the payment for the due date in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX was submitted on time, which falls within the creditor 's 15-day grace period. This makes the " 30 days late '' reporting inaccurate.

No notification of delinquency : I never received any notice or communication from XXXX XXXX regarding a delinquency, which is required by law before reporting a late payment. 
Evidence Provided : I have attached bank statements showing the payment was processed and confirmation emails from XXXX XXXX verifying the receipt of the payment. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
