Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Re : Request for Assistance in Removing Identity Theft Accounts from Experian Credit Report I am writing to formally request your assistance in resolving an issue with Experian, one of the major credit reporting agencies, regarding the removal of accounts from my credit report that are a result of identity theft. Despite my compliance with all required procedures and provision of necessary documentation, Experian has failed to remove these fraudulent accounts as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I have submitted all the required documentation to Experian, including : A copy of my drivers license to establish my identity. 
A recent gas bill to confirm my residency. 
Reports from the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) indicating that the disputed accounts are a result of identity theft. 
Despite these submissions, Experian has not complied with the legal requirement to block the fraudulent information from my credit report. The specific accounts that need to be removed are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Financial Assistance I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly with Experian without success.

Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I bought an Amex Gift Card at XXXX XXXX on Monday, XX/XX/year>. I put {$490.00} on it and ever since buying it, every single transaction has been declined on it despite me checking how to use it and all sites using it correctly. The Amex Gift Card website says that for a charge to not be declined the website must use the card number, expiration date, and security code. I have tried to use it on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and in-store at XXXX and all transactions have been declined. The transactions have between {$30.00} and {$460.00} and all are listed as declined on the Amex Gift Card website. I tried to call the number on the back of the card but there is no way to get ahold of a live person, you can only get the FAQs listed on the website read back to you by a robot.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On about XX/XX/year> I was alerted that my payment was late for Barclays Bank, this was highly unusual since I had never been late paying in XXXX year history with them. As a matter of fact I can go back 30-40 years and not find a late payment for me for any bill, so when I go it I went to their website and paid the bill plus late fees. 

The chances of me paying any bill late is like one person winning a big lottery seven times in a row while being struck by lightning after each win, it doesn't happen. For the last XXXX years my credit score has been between the high XXXX XXXX  to over XXXX XXXX. 

Let 's say I was late because I was busy and maybe forgot that's about half of one percent chance, hold that. Then I got another late notice I think for XX/XX/year> then I made a payment on XX/XX/year>XXXX  before talking to their rep about another situation and she reminded me that I hadn't made my payment but I had just before we talked I mention that to her the payment wasn't due until the next day XX/XX/year> so it was on time because it was paid online. It can be paid online the same day and be counted as being on time I paid the day before it was due so it was on time.I see this company has less than two stars in reviews, I understand why!

So what they are doing is not collecting payments when they should and not allowing payments to be processed on time therefore customers are labeled as late or non payment Some retailers are doing similar acts with self-check out, defrauding customers I must say I refuse to make payment until I get proper credit for my payments including XX/XX/year> payment, so a non payment in 14 years is caused by their fraud! 

THIS IS FRAUD at the highest levels.
