Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX  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 in 120days 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.

XXXX  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

Complaint narrative:
My loans were appt for waiver XXXX XXXX. The department of education said the servicer has to waive them by XX/XX/2024. 

The servicer ED Financial is attempting to circumvent the supreme court ruling by sending loan holders on a wild goose chase. 

Call representatives tell there are no supervisor during their shifts to answer consumer concerns. You are then told you MUST schedule a supervisor call back but no one ever calls. They do enter the call back in the system apparently. This is poor customer service but as this relate to a large debt it is also crippling to customers.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Regards Consumer Financial Protection Bureau In the last 10 months I have been disputing an account with the credit company XXXX and Direct with Midland credit Management who purchased the account after being removed from the credit in 2008 for fraud. In addition, the account appears to belong to XXXX XXXX XXXX and my last name is XXXX XXXX not XXXX, so it is evident the account is completely fraudulent. Since then this collection agency continues to illegally update the account over and over again so that it appears to be a new account from this year. First of all, I did not sign or open an account with Midland, much less with XXXX XXXX. They are breaking the laws by reporting an account from 2008 that was through identity theft and they have to eliminate it out of obligation due to fraud, second because of the last name it doesn't match. And they can't continue harassing me if the debt is NOT mine and I have to pay it if they are not going to send me to court. Those are very strong and misplaced threats. XXXX keeps telling me that the account was verified by Midland Credit, but it does not send me documents of how it was verified. Even though you are sending a police report indicating that you have been a victim of identity theft for several years, I documented the police report, a notarized statement. FTC report and still the account continues to appear in my credit with all my efforts in vain for it to be blocked due to identity theft, and the other 2 agencies XXXX and XXXX have blocked it but XXXX has still refused to do so. 
I am writing to you to investigate and help me with this case as soon as possible. 
The account in reference is from Midland Credit ( XXXX XXXX ) and XXXXXXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I have been in a dispute with Transunion over a bankruptcy that they are reporting on my credit report. Towards the end of 2021 I discovered that the credit bureaus were reporting a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy on my credit report. I reached out to the bureaus to find out where they were getting the information and they said it was coming from the courthouse, so I wrote the court to inquire about the information given and I found out that the court does not supply or validate any such information to any credit bureau. They supplied me with a letter, and I sent to them but then they told me that XXXX was actually the one suppling the information. I wrote to XXXX and inquired, and they said yes, they were supplying the information which they got from the courthouse. I launched a dispute with the letter from the courthouse and XXXX removed the bankruptcy from their file. I have provided that letter and also the letter from the courthouse for your review. After they removed it from their file I went to all three bureaus and launched another dispute, and I supplied them with the letter from the courthouse saying they do not report to any credit bureaus or validate any information either and I also sent the letter from XXXX stating their removal from their records and as a result of the XXXX and XXXX end up removing the bankruptcy from their files as the law required them to base on the fact that they could not fully validate the information with the original source which would be the courthouse, as per 15 U.S.C. 1681a which states that that all reporting must be 100 % accurate but Transunion kept reporting it till this day, even though I have repeatedly asked them to remove the reporting from my file. I ask them to reinvestigate many times over, which they say they do but they don't. No proper reinvestigation is ever done. Consumers have the right to accurate reporting as per the law and if they can not validate the information, then they must remove it and pay the fines for damaging my credit file for 4 years. I demand that this wrong be made right with a removal and that they honor the laws. I also demand that they honor 15 U.S.C 1681b and adhere themselves to reasonable procedures as stated by the law. Thank you for your consideration of this very important matter. 

Sincerly, XXXX XXXX

Since then, I have made multiple follow-up calls to request a new card to be sent to my correct address. As of today, I still have not received the card. 

Due to not having the physical card, I am unable to access my account or utilize any of the benefits associated with the card. This situation has caused significant inconvenience and disruption to my daily operations.
