Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My account with TransUnion 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 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.

TransUnion 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

While both XXXX and XXXX have honored my request and successfully blocked the identified adverse items of information from my credit report, Equifax has failed to take similar action, resulting in discrepancies on my credit report. 

Section 605 ( b ) of the FCRA clearly outlines the prohibition against the continued reporting of adverse information when certain conditions, such as the provision of a self-attestation, have been met. Despite my compliance and the submission of all necessary documentation, Equifax has not fulfilled its legal obligations to investigate and block the inaccurate information in question.

I demand that Equifax immediately correct this oversight by removing the identified adverse items from my credit report. Failure to comply with the legal requirements under Sections 605 ( b ) and 605 ( b ) ( c ) places Equifax in violation of the FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue all available remedies, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and taking legal action, if necessary.

I expect written confirmation that the discrepancies have been resolved, as well as an updated copy of my credit report, within 4 days of receiving this letter persuant to section 605b and 605 ( b ) ( c ) of the fair credit reporting act Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
