Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Dear CFPB, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding the mishandling of my disputes concerning the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account ( Account # XXXX ) on my credit report. Despite previous disputes submitted on XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, no changes have been made, and the inaccuracies remain unaddressed. 
These errors violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). Additionally, my payments were significantly affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring protection under the CARES Act and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, which mandates leniency for consumers impacted by national emergencies.

Reasons for Complaint Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Investigation Requirements ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Equifax failed to conduct a reasonable investigation or provide the necessary description of the investigation process.

Permissible Purposes ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ) ) : The information on this account was not handled according to permissible purposes and standards.

Privacy Rights ( 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 4 ) ) : The continued reporting of inaccurate and derogatory information infringes on my privacy rights.

Description of Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) ) : I have not received the required explanation of the investigation process. 
Violations of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : Disclosure Requirements : Equifax failed to provide accurate disclosures regarding the accounts status, violating TILA regulations. 
Federal Consumer Protections ( CARES Act ) : During the COVID-19 pandemic, this account was affected by financial hardships, and protections under the CARES Act were not applied appropriately.

Immediate Action Requested I request the immediate deletion of the inaccurate information regarding the following account : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX High Balance : {$3700.00} Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} Account Status : Closed Payment Status : Collection/Chargeoff Creditor Remarks : Consumer disputes- reinvestigation in progress. 
Two-Year Payment History Inaccuracies : Late payments inaccurately reported for XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in multiple years. 
Attachments : Copies of previous dispute letters ( dated XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ). 
Identification and supporting documentation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I purchased furniture at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a total of {$5200.00} with an offer of 0 % interest financing for XXXX years through Synchrony Bank. My daughter helped me and proceeded to divide the total amount into XXXX  months and set up automatic payments to pay off the {$5200.00} by the end of that period. She also opted to eliminate the printed account statements due to an additional charge, as I would need to access the online account to view them. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and not technologically savvy to manage this and recently, I asked her to check the balance on the account, and when she accessed it, she noticed an interest charge on XX/XX/year>, and another interest charge of {$93.00} on XX/XX/year>. 


Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Synchrony Customer Service to inquire about these charges. The representative informed me that, instead of providing XXXX  months of interest-free financing, I was only given XXXX  months, and that this error could no longer be corrected because I should have called in the first few months a time when I was unaware of their mistake and I was unaware that this would affect me in this way. 

I also asked if the interest charges were another error, as I thought this could not be legal or possible. The representative explained that these were deferred interest charges, meaning that if I did not pay off the full balance within the first 12 months, all the interest from the previous months would be applied. As a result, I am now a victim of their error twice over, without being given any option to remove these charges and resolve the debt properly. 

I am requesting your assistance in this matter and ask for a fair resolution to eliminate these undue interest charges so that I can settle my debt as originally agreed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My account with 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 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 to be updated.

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!
