Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX Consumer Social Security Number : ( Private SSN ) Consumer Date of Birth : ( Private DOB ) This formal complaint is filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to demand the immediate blocking of fraudulent information appearing on my consumer credit report. This action is requested pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), which mandates that you block information resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving this notification.

The following fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information, directly resulting from identity theft, is present on my credit report and must be blocked : A personal credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>2019 under the account number ( private ). 

These fraudulently opened accounts have generated in unwarranted collection attempts being reported on my consumer FICO credit report. As evidence, I have attached a detailed list of these fraudulent collections, accounts and a copy of my consumer FICO credit report, as maintained by Equifax, clearly displaying these fraudulent items. 

I unequivocally state that I do not recognize any of the aforementioned accounts or associated collections. These entries on my credit report were neither initiated, authorized, nor made by me. All of these negative items are a direct consequence of identity theft and fraud, causing significant damage to my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 

Further irrefutable proof of this identity theft and fraud is provided in the attached copy of the official Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( private case number ). This report substantiates that the disputed items are indeed the result of criminal activity and not legitimate financial obligations incurred by me. 
Therefore, in accordance with my rights under the FCRA 605B, I demand the immediate blocking of all the identified fraudulent information from my credit report within the statutory timeframe of four ( 4 ) business days. Your prompt attention to this urgent matter is required to rectify the inaccuracies caused by this identity theft.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the late payment reported for XXXX - Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which has been listed with a past due amount of {$0.00} on my credit report across TransUnion. This is an obvious clerical error, as a balance of {$0.00} can not possibly reflect a legitimate late payment. This inaccuracy is a direct violation of 15 USC 1666b, which requires that creditors report accurate payment histories. The failure to correct this entry is damaging my credit score, and you have failed to take appropriate action despite previous attempts to resolve this issue.

Furthermore, per the Eleventh Circuits holding in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, the unauthorized exposure and access of private consumer information creates concrete harm entitling me to damages. 

I have formally demanded the deletion of these inquiries in writing, providing all necessary documents, yet the bureau remains noncompliant. Their actions are willful and negligent under FCRA 1681n and 1681o.

I am demanding the immediate permanent removal of all fraudulent inquiries listed above, and I am seeking {$25000.00} in statutory damages for their reckless violations of my consumer rights. 

If unresolved within 5 business days, I intend to file a lawsuit in federal court seeking full remedies including punitive damages, emotional distress damages, and attorney 's fees.
