Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN 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. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates XXXX XXXX XXXX. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. XXXX XXXX XXXX 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! XXXX XXXX XXXX ( 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 XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX days before the payment due date. EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I signed up for a hardship program for my Discover Credit Card. It requested a payment of the new monthly total, {$290.00}, that day and said it required me to set up auto payments for the XXXX of each month from that point on. In early XXXX I spoke with a representative to confirm my payment would be due on XX/XX/year> and they said that was when my payment was due. They also said that as part of the program, late payments shouldn't be reported if I needed to wait until XX/XX/year> to pay it. On XX/XX/year> I payed that months payment, {$290.00}, as well as {$570.00} to make the account current. My payments were only supposed to be {$290.00} a month so I wasn't sure where the {$570.00} payment was from but I payed it so that the account would be current despite the terms of the hardship agreement. I later discovered that on XX/XX/year> they filed a late payment report with the credit bureau. I called to inquire about this and discovered that the reason it was reported was because my payment date was never changed from the XXXX to the XXXX of each month. I spoke with Discover several times, including the hardship program, who confirmed they see when I started the program and the auto payments on the XXXX of each month, but no one can explain why my payment date was not updated as it should have been in XX/XX/year>. I requested information on how to dispute this since they didn't update it as I was told it would and that I was specifically told a late payment wouldn't be reported since I'm part of their hardship program. They told me there was nothing I can do. I've requested documentation of this event and their explanation of what happened and was told they won't do that as this was an error they can't explain or report on. They then offered to change my payment due date to the XXXX at this time but no solution to the late payment report was offered. I asked about options to have Discover remove the late payment report since it was due to an error and I had payed when I was told things were due and did my best to be current. I was told there were no options for this either. I then called Transunion who has filed a dispute and recommended I also file a complaint here. This issue led to my credit score going from XXXX to XXXX which is resulting in me being denied on apartment applications and putting me at risk of homelessness. I have done my best in a time of hardship and the Discover hardship program was meant to help me out of my situation rather than lead to this error.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing multiple accounts that appear inaccurately on my credit report. I believe the following accounts are either erroneous, outdated, or unverifiable : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Despite previous efforts, these accounts continue to reflect negatively on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute any information that is not 100 % accurate or verifiable. I am requesting a full reinvestigation and removal of these items if they can not be fully verified. 

Additionally, I am aware that Experian, Transunion and Equifax was recently sued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for failing to properly investigate consumer disputes. This highlights a broader concern about how credit bureaus handle consumer complaints and reinforces the need for a legitimate and thorough investigation. 

I am requesting that these items be removed and not reinserted unless fully verified. If this request is not handled properly and within the required timeframe, I am prepared to escalate the issue by filing formal complaints and potentially pursuing legal action.

Complaint narrative:
" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. ( NAME OF THE COMPANY ) This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency ( NAME OF THE COMPANY ) name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
