My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION 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.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX XX/XX/year> To : Credit Reporting Agency Subject : Request for Removal of Unveriable Account Dear Credit Reporting Department, I am writing to formally request the removal of an account from my credit report as reported by [ XXXX, Experian, or XXXX ]. This request is based on the recent deletion of an account by XXXX, one of the four major credit reporting agencies. I recently disputed a charge-o for {$800.00} from XXXX & XXXX listed on my XXXX report, and following a thorough investigation, XXXX has completely removed this unveriable debt from my report as of XX/XX/year>. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), all consumer reporting agencies must ensure that information in consumer reports is accurate, fair, and veriable. Since XXXX has removed this account after its verication process, I request that you do the same and remove this unveriable account from my credit report. 
Supporting Consumer Laws : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires that inaccurate or unveriable information must be deleted from a consumer 's credit XXXX. I am exercising my right to ensure that my credit report remains fair, accurate, and free of unveriable information. Since XXXX has deemed this account unveriable and removed it, you must take similar action. 
Additionally, under FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), information suppliers must report only complete and accurate information. With XXXX having deemed this information unveriable, I urge you to align its records accordingly. 
Please provide conrmation of this removal within 30 days of receipt of this request. If the account is not removed, I am prepared to pursue further actions, including XXXX a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal action under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 616 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ), which allows consumers to seek legal recourse for willful non-compliance, and Section 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) for negligent non-compliance. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as it directly impacts my credit report 's integrity. Please notify me in writing once this deletion has been processed. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this request.

Complaint narrative:
My son got a hold of my debit card and spent money in game that was not authorized. This was a total of six transactions that total about {$120.00}. This was made on a Saturday evening and I contacted by Bank ( USAA ) on Monday to dispute these transactions. My son is autistic and has control issues. 

One transaction was {$32.00}. The rest of the transactions were under {$30.00}. All transactions below {$30.00} were forgiven and returned. A Dispute investigation was started concerning the {$32.00}. I was sent a request from the dispute department asking what product I wanted from this merchant. I reached out to the bank and spoke with Level 2 employees. I was assured that the dispute would be found in my favor and the dispute department should reach out to these level 2 employees prior to making a finding. I asked to speak to someone in dispute or a director, but was told that they do not speak to people. 

XX/XX/XXXX the transaction was revered and the money was taken from my account. I contacted the office of the CEO ( USAA XXXX ID XXXX ) and spoke two different employees due to first contact person going on medical leave. XXXX ( EXT 540XXXX ) was the second employee assigned. He went through the calls and figured out not one employee had added that this was a game transaction. He said he would start the dispute process again and we should wait it out. 

I have tried to call XXXX back several times and promised call backs from disputes and others. 

The points to several issues that should be investigated by regulators such as internal controls.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
