I was recently audited by the IRS and there were some fishy charge ( s ) on my apple card which apple is known to have high fraud on their credit card. and brought it to their attention. Where does that lead me to a closed account, none of the charge ( s ) that I brought up credited back to me or looked into with a simple statement that the charge ( s ) were authorized. I asked apple to provide proof of how they were authorized and what did they do to come to that conclusion which they were unable to tell me except that they can put the charge ( s ) back under dispute for a secondary investigation. I have no reason to lie there is also due to these numerous billing error ( s ) a late 30 day remark being reported on my consumer credit report for XX/XX/year>. I was never late on this card and if there is a late remark it is due to the billing error ( s ) I have brought to their attention that they fail to resolve.

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

Complaint narrative:
it is Equifaxs duty pursuant to the FCRA to be reporting correct and accurate information on my credit report and file, however they are NOT. Equifax is reporting 1 inaccurate late payment for the XXXX account ending in XXXX. This includes a 30 day late payment posted in XX/XX/year>. These are incorrect and supposed to be reported as PAID AS AGREED. Furthermore, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a consumer report does NOT contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. A late payment constitutes a transaction. With that said, the reporting of the inaccurate late payments results in Equifax violating my federally protected consumer rights. To add to this, I did NOT give Equifax written instruction/permission to furnish these inaccurate late payments on my consumer report and file, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). It is clear that Equifax has violated my federally protected consumer rights under the FCRA and the inaccurate reporting is causing me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA

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.
