Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My credit report shows that no payments were made for the month of XXXX and XXXX. I have proof of making the payments except there was a XXXX  which I consider a predatory loan practice. 

I was behind on a payment for the mouth of XXXX and was offered a hardship plan which I signed up for. 
Original loan payments are {$860.00} Under hardship plan automatically offered online, the loan payments were set to reduce to {$430.00} for next 3 months. I accepted the plan with payment date being XXXX of each month with payments starting in XXXX. 

These are the following payments I made : XX/XX/XXXX - {$870.00} ( even though {$430.00} was due ) In XXXX I was unable to make payment, & then when I signed back into my account to catch up the total due amount showed now overnight was {$2100.00} and a note saying the account is more than 60 days past due even though a payment was made in XXXX per Hardship plan agreement. 
I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX of {$2100.00}. 

XXXX XXXX said it was part of thier hardship contract where if you miss a payment on hardship plan a ) they can pretend that they never received any payments from the time you sign hardship contract even though a payment was made in XXXX and account was current. 
B ) the atrocious amount due overnight of {$2100.00}. I have no clue how the payment for XX/XX/XXXX due {$430.00} XXXX to {$2100.00} after XXXX missed payment. I consider this predatory loan practice. Not only does my credit show no payment was made in XXXX, when clearly a payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX ( due XXXX XXXX ) to XX/XX/XXXX the account was less than 60 days past due. 

Why does my credit report show no payments?

Despite my repeated efforts to report these fraudulent listings, I have encountered significant obstacles and delays in their removal, which is deeply concerning.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
i XXXX XXXX XXXX Who resides at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ny XXXX and no other additional addresses, I am asserting my rights as a federally protected consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681. Per the FCRA, I am now opting out of any and all authorization the consumer may have given you, whether written, unwritten, verbal, or nonverbal, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 6802. 
According to the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies like XXXX and XXXX are obligated to exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy, as stated in 15 USC 1681 section 602a. As the consumer, I have the right to ensure that my private information isn't shared, supported by 15 USC 6801. 
Furthermore, as a financial institution, the furnisher of information to credit agencies falls under the definition provided by 15 USC 1681 section 604a ( 2 ), and they do not have my consent to furnish this information, as I have not provided written consent. 
Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) mandates that a financial institution must inform the consumer of their right to exercise their nondisclosure option, which the furnisher of information to credit agencies failed to do.

Moreover, under 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from including adverse information in a consumer report without authorization, yet they continue to report adverse items without my permission, violating the law. 
It is also worth noting that under 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681e, XXXX and XXXX are required to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations of FCRA sections and limit the furnishing of consumer reports to specific purposes, which they are failing to do. 
Lastly, as per 12 CFR 1016.7, I retain the right to opt out of your reporting services at any time. Therefore, I am officially opting out of your reporting services.
