Consumer complaint received 2025-07-29 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because the company reported a late payment on my credit report after the end of my auto lease, despite the fact that I acted in good faith to pay off the final charges and fees. 

After turning in the leased vehicle, I received a final bill that included mileage and wear fees. I contacted the company by phone to explain I needed time to pay. I spoke to different representatives including XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. The first representative agreed to allow me to pay in XXXX installments. I relied on this information and made the first payment on time. 

When I called back to complete the second payment, I was told the prior representative gave me incorrect information and that I would now owe a late fee. However, when I called a third time to make the payment, the representative quoted me a final payment amount with no mention of late fees and I paid that amount in full. 

I never received any written notice about changes to the payment arrangement or any formal late fee assessment. I acted in good faith based on multiple phone conversations with your representatives. 

Despite this, the company reported a late payment on my credit reports, which caused an immediate drop in my score and now affects my ability to qualify for credit. I had a perfect payment history up to this point. 

I am requesting the company remove the negative remark as a good faith resolution, in light of the contradictory and inconsistent handling of the post-lease charges by its own customer service department. This is harming my credit profile over what was a small, disputed, and poorly communicated balance. 

I also respectfully request an opportunity to review the companys internal documentation regarding this account, including any call logs or notes from the conversations described above.

I have previously disputed Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because TransUnion continues to report an unauthorized XXXX  XXXX XXXX account on my credit report, even after I submitted a formal dispute and fraud block request in XX/XX/year>. I clearly explained that this account was never authorized, and I provided documentation showing that I am a victim of identity theft. I demanded deletion under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and cited specific legal protections under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, 1681e ( b ), 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), and 1681b ( 2 ). Despite that, TransUnion denied my request and refused to block the account. Their justification was vague ; they claimed the account showed previous activity or payments but provided no actual evidence, no verification documents, no disclosure of who they contacted, and no summary of how they reached that conclusion. They did not send me the results of the reinvestigation, as required under 1681i ( 6 ) and 1681i ( 7 ), and failed to demonstrate that the information is being reported with maximum possible accuracy, which is their duty under 1681e ( b ). They also ignored my right to have fraudulent accounts blocked under 1681c-2 once identity theft is documented. Their response was generic and dismissive. Its unacceptable for a credit reporting agency to continue reporting unauthorized and disputed data while failing to comply with federal law. I am now requesting that the CFPB step in and enforce the law. TransUnion must delete the XXXX  XXXX XXXX account immediately and provide written confirmation. I also request that TransUnion be investigated for its repeated violations of the FCRA and held accountable under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o for willful and negligent noncompliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries currently listed on my credit report. I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
This prolonged issue has caused ongoing financial strain and has negatively affected both my credit standing and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been not only frustrating but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history. This includes the timely correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore urging your office to take immediate and appropriate action to update or delete the reported late payment entries in question.
