Consumer complaint received 2025-10-17 00:00:00
Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Sunset Management, Inc
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I called to make my payment on the XXXX. It came due on the XXXX but as I previously told management, I am able to make my payments on the XXXX. I am aware I would receive a late fee but its okay. Well, I called on XXXX @ XXXX to make a payment on both accounts. A new young lady answered and said she couldnt take my payments without paying the late fees associated with the account, I inquired about the late fees as before when I called in and made payments previously, I always paid my late fees, I wanted a print out of my payment history. Well, she was nice about it but informed me she was new and allowed me to speak with her manager XXXX. Calls are monitored and recorded Im hoping. I explained to her that I could make my payments but i cant afford to pay {$80.00} in late fees at the moment. She became upset and cut me off while speaking, to tell me I need to start paying my late fees either this month or do I just want to do it next month. I explain that its not a need to sound like this bc I am trying to pay you, just couldnt give the late fees at the moment.We all have jobs to do and Im trying to pay you. I even tried to pay something towards the late fee and she didnt want that, she handed the young lady back the phone but was rude in the background continuing to talk. At this point, I did hang up on them because I am overly sick of this company and branch in XXXX SC. I can see if I dont pay or if I dont communicate, I communicate and pay my payments. But they are so rude and nasty in this store.This isnt fair treatment & I dont have to put up with it this from Sunset Finance anymore.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up complaint regarding TransUnion 's continued reporting of inaccurate, unverifiable, and misleading information on my credit file in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ). Despite my previous disputes, the same problem remains unresolved. TransUnion has repeatedly failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation or provide proper validation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Under FACTA Title I, Section 151, consumer reporting agencies are obligated to ensure that all reported data is accurate, complete, and properly verified. Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 6801 of the GLBA imposes a duty to safeguard the accuracy and confidentiality of consumer information, which includes preventing the dissemination of false or misleading data.

Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), codified at 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., financial disclosures must be clear, complete, and accurate. The continued failure to correct and validate this disputed information constitutes a violation of my consumer rights and subjects TransUnion to potential regulatory and civil liability.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred. Without legally required validation, continued reporting of this negative information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Reporting unverifiable derogatory information damages my credit standing and reflects negligent and unlawful reporting practices.
