Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN 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 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.

EXPERIAN 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

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( accounts opened XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX ) for their improper reporting of a balance on a charged-off account, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Under FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ), furnishers of credit information, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX, are required to provide accurate information when reporting to credit bureaus. A charged-off account, by definition, should not report an outstanding balance as the debt is considered uncollectible and written off by the creditor. However, despite the account being charged off, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report a balance on my credit report, which is inaccurate and misleading. 

This inaccurate reporting is negatively impacting my credit profile and violates FCRA provisions that ensure consumers are not subjected to false or misleading credit information. 

I request that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX immediately cease reporting an outstanding balance on this charged-off account and correct the information across all credit bureaus. If the information can not be verified or corrected, I demand that the account be deleted from my credit report in compliance with FCRA guidelines. 

I am asking the CFPB to intervene and hold XXXX XXXX XXXX accountable for this violation and ensure they correct the issue promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
