Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than XXXX  days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am writing this statement for consent. Recently, after reviewing my personal consumer credit reports, it has come to my attention that the following accounts are in violation of the Federal Credit Reporting Act Codes : 1681-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 1 ) ( c ) and 15 US Code 1681-B. None of these accounts should be reflected on my reports as they violate my rights as a federally protected consumer. No company/creditor shall have the authority to report anything on my consumer reports with out the legal written agreement of me and the reporter. Therefore, this constitutes identity theft because no consent is identity theft. So, I am demanding the removal of all accounts and inquires listed in this document/statement. Additional Inquiries to be removed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX XXXX account was hacked, along with a number of other accounts of mine in which that I have since deactivated. They charged {$800.00} and some odd dollars to my debit card, I received a text about this charge however at the top of the text it didnt include information about this, yet another charge that was me XXXX XXXX XXXX so of course I clicked yes. Immediately I recognized this as a mistake and called Wells Fargo to which they took XXXX days to actually give me any information on what to do next. They finally offered me a provisional credit of {$800.00} on my account. However, they have since removed this credit and denied my claim, which is absolutely unreal. I do not have this money and it was stolen from me. When on the phone with Wells Fargo again, they hung up on me without any help! I absolutely want this reversed and the right thing done. 

I also want to mention that when attempting to receive support by XXXX, they closed my ticket and suspended my account, and nothing else was done.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX  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 in those account to be removed.

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. 


XXXX XXXX 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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
