**TransUnion LLC** XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX : ** Urgent Dispute of Reinstated Missed Payments on Credit Report To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the reappearance of missed payments on my credit report associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  credit card accounts. These missed payments were initially removed after a dispute, and I received the updated results from TransUnion on [ XX/XX/XXXX ] confirming their removal. 

However, on [ XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX ], my credit report was inexplicably updated, and the same missed payments were reinstated. This action is not only incorrect but also appears fraudulent as it contradicts the resolution provided in the dispute results I received. I have proof of the original dispute results showing that these missed payments were removed, which I am prepared to provide. 

As a consumer, I have the right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to have accurate information reported on my credit file. The reinstatement of these missed payments is a clear violation of this right. I am requesting that TransUnion immediately remove these inaccurate missed payments from my credit report and ensure that they are permanently deleted. 

Please confirm in writing that this matter has been resolved. Additionally, I request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report showing the removal of these disputed items. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Complaint narrative:
I was charged ( {$85.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/, XXXX XXXX   ) for bus tickets that I did not receive. On the day of travel ( XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) I had still not gotten my tickets from XXXX so I reached out to them. Turns out they told me ( I have attached screenshots of this conversation which was provided to Apple Card ), that they lost my ticket information and since they cant provide refunds I have to charge back through Apple Card, which I did. I was denied this chargeback by Apple, which does not make sense because even the vendor told me to do it!! Apple just denied me and would not help me when I reached out. They just told me that my dispute was resolved in favor of XXXX. How is that possible when XXXX was the one that told me to file the dispute to get me money back for no services rendered? A charge went through for something that should not have. I need this money back. Apple Card is despicable for trying to weasel out of a cut and dry case.

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow up to complaint XXXX which has been closed at this time. 

I reviewed my credit report for the late payments that they are contacting me about and see that they have never reported a late payment, despite the MANY unnecessary calls that are being placed to me. If I have not ever paid late, why is there a log of more than 30 calls that have been placed to my number and voicemails instructing me to pay. 30+ calls are not payment reminders, they are harassment. 

I have blocked their number after advising them in person that I do not want to be contacted by phone or in person any further and would like to discontinue any business I have with the company. In light of their practices, I have attempted to re-finance but have been told by every lender representative ( off the record, they say ) that Car-Mart does everything they can to prevent you from refinancing with another company via being intentionally difficult to work with.

Complaint narrative:
Certain accounts have been linked to identity theft and fraudulently added to my consumer report without my written authorization, including a wet signature. I recently contacted your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. Their presence has caused me significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and obligations. 

If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.
