Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against TransUnion for reporting inaccurate and inconsistent information regarding the XXXX XXXX account ( partial account number : XXXX ) in my credit report. TransUnions reporting violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as detailed below : Inaccuracies and Issues Identified 1. Date Opened : TransUnion lists the account opening date as XX/XX/year>, which does not align with the information reported by other credit bureaus. 

2. Payment Status : The payment status is listed as " Unknown '', which fails to provide clarity about the accounts actual condition. 

3. Payment History : The recent payment history has blank spaces, indicating missing or incomplete data. 

4. Failure to Maintain Accuracy : TransUnion has not implemented reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of this information, as required under Section 607 ( b ) of the FCRA. 

FCRA Violations 1. Section 607 ( b ) : TransUnion is required to use reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in its reporting. 

2. Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) : Consumers have the right to accurate and verifiable information. The ambiguous and incomplete data on this account violates this provision.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
I currently have {$100.00} available for redemption towards my statement balance ( see attached screenshot ). When attempting to apply it via the website, I received an error. Live chat instructed me to call the company. I called the company and was told that there was a block on the redemption, and that it needed to be reviewed. I was on the phone for over one hour trying to get more information on why they would not allow me to redeem the amount, and I was transferred to many different representatives. I was forced to go through a lenghty verification process at least two times. Upon being transferred to another representative, I was asked again to go through the lengthly verification process. I finally had to hang up because I did not have time to go through the whole process again. Even though I was on one long call over one hour in length, it was as if the representatives had no way to communicate with each other that I already gave the information over and over and over again. The entire Citi experience has been extremely frustrating. Other companies seem much more proficient.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Complaint narrative:
In response to my formal dispute letter sent on XX/XX/year>, regarding inaccurate and/or fraudulent information on my credit report due to the XXXX data breach, I have not received any resolution within the mandated 30- to 45-day period under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 1681i. 

One of the disputed items includes a negative entry from Capital One, account number XXXX, which I believe to be fraudulent. I provided supporting documentation, including an FTC Identity Theft Report, to demonstrate that this account was opened or used without my authorization. 

As no action or response has been taken to verify or resolve this matter, the FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) requires that this account and all associated negative information be deleted immediately. 

I request the prompt removal of this and any other unverifiable items listed in my original dispute letter. Additionally, please confirm the corrections in writing as required by law. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN 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.

EXPERIAN 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!
