Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is reporting inaccurate information to my consumer profile and I have made them aware of this for the past XXXX  months since XX/XX/XXXX. This is regarding a XXXX  XXXX XXXX credit account # ending in XXXX that was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. I sent a letter requesting an investigation into the accuracy of this account on XX/XX/XXXX. In the letter, I specified areas of inaccuracies that I had identified such as the payment history and account status. The FCRA ONLY ALLOWS up to 30 days for this initial investigation. I demanded that if they were unable to verify the account as accurate and complete, that they should then delete this account from my profile. Equifax responded back by updating the account information as verified. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I sent them a method of verification letter in which I requested account level documents and further proof of their verification method. I again asked for them to delete the account if they were not able to verify the information within the 15 day window that is allowed by the FCRA for this second verification/reinvestigation period. They did NOT respond back within the 15 days, which is a VIOLATION of the FCRA! 

So around XX/XX/XXXX, which was well over 90 days since my initial letter was sent, I sent a complaint via the CFPB requesting that the account be deleted because they had failed to provide me with the requested documents within the timeframe ALLOWED BY THE FCRA! Around XXXX, XXXX, the account seemed to have been removed which led to a significant XXXX  score increase. 

But then it was evident that the account was reinserted days later and updated as verified! But HOW CAN THE ACCOUNT BE verified as accurate when the origin date opened was XX/XX/XXXX but there is NO PAYMENT HISTORY REPORTING until XXXX XXXX XXXX? How is the payment history accurate when the last payment date is showing as XX/XX/XXXX as well as XX/XX/XXXX? It is now XX/XX/XXXX and the XXXX  charge off with account # XXXX is still being reported to my consumer profile! And there is still inaccurate information being reported such as the payment history, account status and date of last payment! 

At this point, this is willful non-compliance and deliberate reporting of inaccurate information to my consumer profile which is yet another violation of my consumer rights which are protected under the FCRA! I WANT THIS ACCOUNT PERMANENTLY DELETED FROM MY CONSUMER REPORT! If this account is not promptly DELETED from my consumer profile, then for damages, I will invoke my rights as a consumer pursuant to 15 USC 1681n Civil Liability for WILLFUL Noncompliance. If this account is not promptly DELETED then I will seek compensation for EVERY violation that has been found under the FCRA!

State: FL

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
