Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

identity you and your account. 
XXXX. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) - 15 U.S.C. 16811 & 1681s-2 ( b ) : The furnisher failed to conduct a reasonable investigation and continues to report unverifiable and misleading information.

2. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1692e : The reporting of this eviction is deceptive, as no final judgment or public record proving I legally owe this debt has been provided.

3. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) Privacy Violation : The agency is reporting alleged eviction information that may have been obtained improperly or without permissible purpose under 6801.

4. No proof of ownership or assignment of debt : The furnisher has not presented a lease, judgment, or chain of assignment to prove standing. 
XXXX + Despite my previous disputes, this account remains on my credit file without verification or validation. I demand a full deletion of this account remains on my credit file without verification or validation. I demand a full deletion of this eviction entry and a full investigation into the furnisher 's reporting practices. This account is damaging my ability to obtain housing and is being maintained without lawful justification. 
If this is not resolved immediately, I will escalate this matter with the FTC, state attorney general, and pursue civil action for willful noncompliance and credit defamation under 15 U.S.C. 1681n.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Experian Information Solutions , Inc . 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Re : Inaccurate Reporting of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate and incomplete information on my Experian credit report concerning the account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

This account is being reported only with Experian and is not being furnished to XXXX. Such selective reporting creates a materially misleading and incomplete representation of my credit history and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Under Section 609, I have the right to a full disclosure of the information in my file, including the source of the information. I request all records, verification materials, and communications Experian relied upon in verifying this account, including any correspondence with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I have disputed this account, and Experian has previously verified the information. However, because the account is not reported consistently across all nationwide credit reporting agencies, the information is inaccurate and incomplete. Experian has a duty to reinvestigate and either correct the reporting or delete the account if it can not be verified as accurate and complete. 
As a furnisher, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX must provide accurate and complete information to consumer reporting agencies. By continuing to display this account exclusively with Experian while omitting it from XXXX  and XXXX, the information is materially misleading. By continuing to report this unverifiable data, Experian is also in violation of its duty under Section 623 to maintain maximum possible accuracy. 
- Provide me with full documentation of how Experian verified this account under Section 609.

- Conduct a reinvestigation under Section 611 and remove this account from my Experian credit file if it can not be verified as accurate, complete, and consistent across all CRAs. 
- Provide written confirmation of the results of your reinvestigation within 30 days as required by law. 
Failure to comply will result in my filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney Generals Office. I will also consider seeking all legal remedies available under the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to dispute the reporting of a charge-off account listed under XXXX XXXX on my credit report. I reviewed the information and noticed inconsistencies between how TransUnion and Experian report the account. The date the account was opened differs between the two bureaus for JPMCB - XXXX, with TransUnion reporting XX/XX/XXXX and Experian reporting XX/XX/XXXX. 

With XXXX XXXX, Transunion reporting Date opened XX/XX/XXXX, and Experian XX/XX/XXXX. These differences raise concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the account information. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the information reported must be accurate and consistent. Given these clear discrepancies showing the inconsistent information, I am asking to remove it from my credit report entirely. 
Ive included a copy of my ID and a recent utility bill to verify my identity. 
Thank you for your help, and I look forward to hearing back from you within the XXXX timeframe.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN 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. EXPERIAN 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! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
