Complaint narrative:
The reported late payment is inaccurate and unverifiable. The furnisher has failed to provide documented proof that the payment was, in fact, late. Reporting unverifiable or inaccurate information across all three credit bureaus constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This error is damaging my credit profile and is a result of negligent reporting practices. I demand immediate correction and deletion of this inaccurate late payment from all credit reports.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal dispute regarding incorrect information on my credit report provided by TransUnion Consumer Solutions. My credit report contains inaccurate late payment notations for the account XXXX XXXX XXXX with account number XXXX which do not accurately reflect my payment history. 
Issue Details : 1. Reporting Errors : o According to my records, all payments for this account were made on time and as agreed. 
o However, the incorrect late payment notations have lowered my credit score, limiting my ability to obtain fair financial terms. 
2. Violations of Applicable Laws : o Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i & 1681s-2, credit reports must be accurate and complete. I disputed this error, but no correction has been made.

o Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : Under 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( b ), creditors must provide accurate and timely billing statements. This reporting error violates that requirement.

o Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) : Under 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ), creditors must send billing statements at least 21 days before the due date. This was not done, contributing to the inaccurate reporting. 
o Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : Late payment reporting due to administrative or communication errors violates the act and must be corrected.

3. Previous Attempts to Resolve : o I have disputed this directly with TransUnion Consumer Solutions, sending multiple letters requesting a correction.

o To date, no effective action has been taken to correct these errors.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: World Acceptance Corporation
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because I had multiple payday loans that negatively impacted my credit. Some of these accounts were reported inaccurately and do not reflect the correct balance or payment history. I have contacted the lenders several times to resolve the issue, but they have not corrected or responded. 

These loans have been paid off or settled, but they are still being reported as open or delinquent, which is unfairly lowering my credit score. I am requesting a full review and correction of these accounts, as well as verification of the amounts reported.

I would like the company to confirm the accuracy of the debt, update any incorrect information with the credit bureaus, and provide written confirmation once the issue has been resolved.

Company: Tower Loan of Mississippi, Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against Tower Loan of XXXX  ( Tower Loan ) for willful and negligent violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, 1681s-2 ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e and 1692g ), as well as breach of the arbitration clause in their own loan agreement. 

Tower Loan originated my loan on XX/XX/XXXX, for approximately {$2500.00}. The account was later charged off in XXXX and reported as such to XXXX  with a charge-off amount of {$3100.00} and a balance of {$2800.00}. Despite charging off the account, Tower Loan subsequently filed a lawsuit against me, attempting to collect on the same debt a clear attempt at double recovery after already classifying the account as a loss. This post-charge-off litigation directly contradicts their own accounting treatment and constitutes a false and deceptive collection practice under FDCPA 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ). 

The loan agreement includes a mandatory arbitration clause, yet Tower Loan ignored it and pursued litigation anyway. This is a breach of contract and demonstrates disregard for consumer rights and lawful dispute procedures. 

Tower Loan also continues to furnish inaccurate and inconsistent credit information to XXXX, including : Reporting a past-due balance and collection account status after charge-off. 

Reporting changing balances ( {$3100.00} {$2800.00} ) despite no payments being made, as confirmed by Tower Loan in their XX/XX/XXXX CFPB response letter. 

Adding a Date of First Delinquency ( XX/XX/XXXX ) months later, which re-ages the account and unlawfully extends its reporting period. 

Keeping the Consumer Disputes Reinvestigation in Process narrative code active for more than a year with no update, proving a failure to complete a reinvestigation under FCRA 1681i.

When I contacted Tower Loan directly, Senior Supervisor/Vice President XXXX XXXX emailed me on XX/XX/XXXX, stating : I do not have anything to argue with anyone. I explained it to you. We are reporting your account accurately. 

This message shows Tower Loans willful refusal to investigate or provide documentation supporting their reporting. 

In short, Tower Loan : 1. Charged off my account, then improperly sued me.

2. Ignored its own arbitration agreement.

3. Continues to furnish contradictory and inaccurate credit data.

4. Refused to reinvestigate despite direct notice and a prior CFPB complaint.

These combined actions have lowered my credit score, caused denial of credit, and created financial and emotional hardship.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a formal written dispute to the credit reporting agency regarding inaccurate and/or unverifiable information appearing on my credit report. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), the credit reporting agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of the disputed items and provide the results within XXXX  days of receiving the dispute. 

It has been over XXXX days since my dispute was received, yet the agency failed to provide the required reinvestigation results or any written notice explaining a delay. This constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i. 

Additionally, I have reason to believe my nonpublic personal information was accessed, shared, or used without proper authorization or disclosure, in violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), 15 U.S.C. 6802, which governs obligations with respect to the disclosure of personal information. I was not provided with a clear privacy notice, nor given the option to opt out of sharing my data with third parties.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because XXXX XXXX incorrectly charged off my XXXX XXXX account and is reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. 


My XXXX XXXX account was charged off even though I had attempted to make payment arrangements and resolve the issue directly with XXXX XXXX. The charge-off status and balance being reported are inaccurate. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX support to dispute this, but they told me the only option was to pay and that the charge-off would not be removed or corrected. 

I believe this violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) because XXXX XXXX failed to properly investigate my dispute and is continuing to report inaccurate or misleading information that negatively impacts my credit score. 

I am requesting that the CFPB review this matter and that XXXX XXXX : Conduct a full reinvestigation of my dispute. 

Provide written verification of the charge-off and all related documentation. 

Correct or remove the inaccurate charge-off from my credit reports if they can not substantiate it.
