State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments on Credit Report Complaint Details : I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments reported on my credit file maintained by TransUnion for the following account : Account Information Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. I have consistently made my payments on time, as this account was enrolled in autopay. 
Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting : The late payment history for this account is inaccurate, with a single late payment entry on my TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX files that does not align with my actual payment records. 
Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : This inaccurate reporting violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as it misrepresents my creditworthiness. 
Potential Violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which prohibits misrepresentation of account information.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Violation : The reporting practices fail to meet TILA 's requirements for accurate credit reporting.

Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure maximum accuracy.

Under FCRA articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ), there is civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, which includes actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages. 
Requested Resolution : I request that TransUnion conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. I ask that these entries be updated to reflect my true payment history, which shows 100 % on-time payments. Please confirm the removal of these inaccuracies within 30 days of receiving this complaint.

Attachments : Copy of ID Social Security Relevant documents related to the account, including payment records demonstrating on-time payments. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item?

Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. 

Since you claim youve verified the item listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
My account with DEPT OF ED/XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 in to be removed. 

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. 

DEPT OF EDXXXX 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
