XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX SSN : XXXX Phone : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX **Re : ** Formal Investigation Request & FCRA Compliance ( Sections 604 and 609 ) To TransUnion LLC, I am writing to invoke my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) with the intent to challenge the validity of specific information contained within my consumer report. As governed by Section 609 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), I formally request that you provide all documentation, verifications, and substantiations regarding the origin of the data reported by your company. It is crucial that you authenticate the accuracy of the following account, as its presence has resulted in financial detriment and undue harm. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Account in Question : - **Account Name** : XXXX XXXX XXXX  - **Account Type** : Other Loan - **Balance** : {$630.00} - **Monthly Payment** : {$35.00} - **Interest Rate** : 15.63 % - **Date Opened** : XX/XX/year> ( 6 months ) Under Section 604 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), it is mandatory that data furnishers have a permissible purpose before reporting any information. I am requesting that your agency investigate whether the original creditor had the legal standing and adequate authorization to access and report my private information. 

Furthermore, it is imperative that I receive full disclosure of all parties that have accessed this information without my express written consent. Failure to provide such documentation would be a direct violation of my consumer rights under both Section 604 and Section 609. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX  Potential Violations : - **Failure to Verify Permissible Purpose** : There is no evidence provided that demonstrates any permissible purpose to collect, report, or access my personal information under the mandates of the FCRA. 
- **Reporting of Inaccurate Information** : The account in question appears incorrect, and no lawful verification has been provided to substantiate its presence. 

Per Section 611 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I demand that you conduct a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies and rectify any data that can not be conclusively verified. Should your agency or data furnishers fail to meet these obligations, I am prepared to take legal action and hold all involved parties accountable for non-compliance. 

I expect full resolution of this matter within the time frames allotted under the FCRA. Kindly furnish all results of your investigation, the source ( s ) of the data, and any updated reports reflecting the necessary corrections. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX Phone : XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have received my credit report which suggests that I may have owed you something in the past or present. However, there is no evidence to support your claim, so I request that you dismiss all claims and remove any harmful reports against me. Specifically, I request that you remove any current reported items that are potentially lacking mandatory physical document evidence to verify the truth and accuracy of the claim, as well as any evidence of compliance with the certified XXXX XXXX format reporting standards. 

My data was affected by the XXXX data breach, resulting in numerous fraudulent items appearing on my credit report that I do not recognize. As these claims remain unproven and undocumented, they can not be assumed valid nor compliantly reported. I request evidence of your adherence to applicable compliance standards for this particular account. Furthermore, I must insist on the immediate deletion of these unsubstantiated claims. This matter is currently under investigation by the FTC.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 MONTHS REPORTING LATE 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.

This company 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.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against LVNV Funding LLC c/o Resurgent Capital Services L.P. for engaging in unlawful and deceptive collection practices. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with the agency, they have failed to adhere to federal regulations, resulting in ongoing harm to my consumer rights. 

Details of the Issue : [ Lack of Debt Validation : ] LVNV Funding LLC has placed a collection account on my consumer report without providing the required validation information. As outlined in 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), they are obligated to supply this documentation before reporting the debt. Despite my request, they have not provided any validation, violating my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

[ Denial of Dispute Opportunity : ] I was not given the opportunity to dispute the debt before it was reported to the credit bureaus. This is a violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), which mandates that consumers be allowed to dispute accounts before they are reported. LVNV Funding LLC 's actions deprived me of this essential right.

[ Deceptive and Misleading Practices : ] The agencys actions in furnishing an unvalidated account to consumer reporting agencies constitute deceptive and misleading practices. This violates federal regulations, specifically 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ). 

[ Unauthorized Business Operations : ] According to the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System ( NMLS ), LVNV Funding LLC c/o Resurgent Capital Services L.P. is not licensed or authorized to conduct business in the State of Texas. Despite this, they have continued their collection efforts, further demonstrating their disregard for legal requirements. I have attached documentation from the NMLS confirming their lack of authorization.
