That seemed unjust. Such a such as a lawyer fee of around XXXX dollars just to have a letter sent to me. I've already sold the home. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  was the closing date. I've since felt robbed and cheated I found discrepancies in my credit report Such as a foreclosure process has been started, have disputed all these things. And have since got them removed. closing amount, pay off amount, fines and fees are another issue. Planet home landing failed to give me give me options on relief. They only gave me a lone to value evaluation over the phone and basically said there's nothing we can do. Either pay the full amount or it will go into foreclosure. Is there any actions being taken against this company?

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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:
Hello, On XX/XX/year>, my Girlfriend and I visited Ashley Furniture located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX as we were browsing employee XXXX XXXX began assisting us. Toward the end of the visit, XXXX informed me that there was a preapproval check that did not result in a credit hard pull. We considered it and advised XXXX this was the first place and wanted to get an idea of how much we could get approved for. I proceeded to submit the preapproval. Upon receiving the approved amount ( XXXX ). XXXX the store employee stated, Yes you are approved. As I discussed this with my girlfriend, she looked at XXXX. I then turned to look at him and I saw XXXX accept the offer on the monitor, with a smirk on his face. The look on his face infuriated me and questioned him as to why he did that. When I didnt want to move forward. He acted like he was confused and apologized. I continued to express my frustration due to him deciding to act on my behalf without my approval. I informed him that is unprofessional and unethical apart from being illegal. XXXX responded that he thought I wanted the offer. Frustrated again I informed him he has no authority to approve anyone 's offer. As I proceeded to leave the store XXXX stated to return since I was approved. I told him I was going to contact the credit bureau and report this incident. I then called XXXX to report the incident and fraud that was committed. I requested that they remove the inquiry and advised them of what other steps to take which they directed me to also submit a claim with ConsumerFinance.Gov.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to you to request a goodwill adjustment for a late payment that is on my account from XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I always make my payments on time and make every effort to fulfill my financial responsibilities, but the past few months have been a hardship for me. At the time of these late payments, I was laid off from my job due to unforescen medical issues, and still made the effort to make my monthly payment although I am still out of work. I say that not to justify why the payment was late, but rather to show that the late payments are not a good indicator of my actual historical creditworthiness. I hope that you are willing to work with me on erasing these marks from my credit reports. Theyre also old addresses where I use to be resident at that I dont live at anymore I wish to have removed off my credit report.

I am now trying to lease a car and I am having trouble doing so due to my credit score decreasing due to these late payments.

I understand that according to federal law 15 U.S. code 1631a ( 2 ( Al ), a consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the payment. I also understand that according to federal law 15 U.S. code 1666b ( a ), a
creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

I am asking that these late payments be removed from my report in response to this letter as a gesture of goodwill. I hope that you will deeply consider my request and prove once again why XXXX is heads above the rest. I look forward to your reply. 

Very Hopefully yours,
