Consumer complaint received 2024-09-17 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Experian and CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute multiple discrepancies on my credit report that involve unverified, outdated, and misleading information. The inaccuracies in my report have significant implications for my credit health and overall quality of life, and I urge you to address these issues promptly. 

The following details are particularly concerning : **Experian Account # : XXXX - **Account Type : ** Revolving - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX* XXXX - **Account Status : ** Open - **Monthly Payment : ** {$280.00} - **Date Opened : ** XX/XX/XXXX - **Balance : ** {$9700.00} - **Credit Limit : ** {$9000.00} - **Past Due : ** {$790.00} - **Payment Status : ** Late 60 Days - **Last Reported : ** XX/XX/XXXX - **Date Last Active : ** XX/XX/XXXX - **Date of Last Payment : ** XX/XX/XXXX Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. The inaccuracies present in my report violate this statute and have resulted in detrimental effects on my ability to secure credit, housing, and other essential services.

Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681i provides me with the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information and obligates you to investigate the validity of the information being reported. The misrepresentation of my credit account status directly impacts my credit score and overall financial well-being, causing undue stress and hardship.

I kindly request that you conduct a thorough investigation into these discrepancies and take the necessary steps to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. The presence of misleading information can not be understated, as it undermines my financial stability and future opportunities.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response confirming the actions taken to rectify these inaccuracies. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My accounts 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/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.

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!

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as an official and urgent demand for immediate correction of the blatant inaccuracies in my consumer credit report, which I lawfully obtained under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Your continued incompetence and failure to abide by the explicit legal standards outlined in the FCRA is not only unacceptable but also a direct violation of my rights as a consumer. The FCRA mandates, in no uncertain terms, that all information within a consumer credit report must be 100 % accurate, verifiable, complete, and timely. I will not tolerate anything less than full adherence to these legal obligations99.9 % accuracy or verification is not acceptable. I expect immediate proof that the information you have reported is in full compliance with federal law. Anything short of absolute accuracy and legality will result in further escalation, without hesitation. Listed below are the specific tradelines that are erroneous and defamatory. I expect not just a review, but an immediate correction of these items. Your failure to do so is a reckless disregard of your legal responsibilities and will not be taken lightly.
