Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you to request a goodwill adjustment for a late payment that is on my account. I always make my payments on time and make every effort to fulfill my financial responsibilities, but the past year has been a hardship for me losing my mother to XXXX and caring for my XXXX sister. At the time of these late payments, I was laid off from my job due to unforeseen medical issues, and still made the effort to make my monthly payment although I am still out of work. I say that not to justify why the payment was late, but rather to show that the late payments are not a good indicater of my actual historical creditworthiness. I have been a happy customer for many years and I hope to continue a long relationship with your company. I hope that you are willing to work with me on erasing these marks from my credit reports. 
I am now trying to find an apartment and lease a car and I am having trouble doing so due to my credit score decreasing due to these late payments. 

I understand that according to federal law 15 U.S. code 1681a ( 2 ) ( Ai ), a consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the payment. I also understand that according to federal law 15 U.S. code 1666b ( a ), a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to report the failure to remove two fraudulent student loan accounts from my credit report, despite submitting a valid FTC Identity Theft Affidavit and all required supporting documents. These accounts were opened fraudulently at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> under account numbers XXXX and XXXX. 

In XXXX, I submitted my FTC affidavit disputing these accounts and provided all necessary documentation to have the items blocked and removed in accordance with FCRA Section 605B. However, despite compliance with the legal requirements, these fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report. 

I have spoken with several supervisors who informed me that the accounts could not be removed due to an internal " POLICY '' that conflicts with the procedures mandated by law under FCRA Section 605B. This policy does not align with the federal protections afforded to victims of identity theft and has caused significant harm and frustration.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX  and LVNV funding reached out for me to pay a debt that was sold to them. I paid this debt settlement amount in full on XX/XX/year>. The creditor had agreed to delete the tradeline once paid, however this collection still appears open and reporting as unpaid on my account. Unfortunately this lack of accurate reporting has caused denied credit applications for both a car and home. 

Additionally, I disputed this information with the credit agencies and they did not update my report accurately, leading to further adverse credit denials which are severely impacting my life. 

I am requesting XXXX XXXX  and LVNV report to the credit agencies immediately that this a count shall be deleted from all reports.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.
