Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Delay Due to Billing Error : I was not notified of the correct payment amount, as the statement issued by XXXX contained an error. This resulted in a delayed payment, which should not have been reported as late since I resolved the issue promptly after receiving the correct billing information. 
No Late Payment Notification : I was not provided with any notice from XXXX XXXX regarding an impending late payment. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I should have been notified before any negative information was reported to the credit bureaus, which did not happen in this case.

Evidence Provided : I have attached my payment history and bank statements, showing that I made all payments once the correct billing information was provided. This clearly demonstrates that the late payment was due to a billing discrepancy and not negligence on my part.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
There's a couple of issues with this company and they continue to violate my consumer rights an illegally trying to collect on a debt that is past the statute of limitation for New York and I do not own. 

This company has inappropriately and repeatedly attempted to illegally collect on a debt I do not own. I requested VALIDATION of this debt twice on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX and it was ignored by this company. 

Which my consumer rights were ignored and violated because according to law Debt collectors are prohibited from collecting on a debt unless and until verification is provided to the consumer within 45 days of receiving the consumers dispute. If the debt collector is unable to provide timely verification, it must give the consumer a Notice of Unverified Debt that complies with Rule 5-77 ( f ) ( 8 ). 

I never signed a contract with Transworld Systems Inc. and this company has failed to provide me a contract with my signature from the original creditor that you claim this debt is from. A bill from XXXX is not proof of a signed contract to validate this debt. 

The company failed to provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for : Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe : Provide me with copies of any papers contract that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe : with my signature. 

Under Rule 5-77 ( f ) ( 12 ), debt collectors must provide an additional breakdown if the consumer challenges or questions the accuracy of any of the line items included in the initial itemization. 


The Consumer Credit Fairness Act of 2021 statute of limitations for consumer debt collection in NY from is three years. Not only is the debt not mine its past the limitation. 

This debt collectors used unfair and abusive tactics to improperly collect a debt from me.

State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate and outdated information being reported on my consumer file with ChexSystems. The information pertains to an account allegedly associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I want to be clear that I have never had any relationship with XXXX XXXX XXXX  nor have I opened or authorized any account with them. 

Upon reviewing my consumer report, I discovered that ChexSystems has been furnishing information about this account, which is completely fraudulent and the result of identity theft. I have been a victim of identity theft, and the information reported by both ChexSystems and XXXX XXXX Bank is not only inaccurate but also outdated, as it reflects an account I never opened or managed. 

By reporting this information, both ChexSystems and XXXX XXXX XXXX are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for the following reasons : 1. No Permissible Purpose ( FCRA Section 1681b ) : ChexSystems has reported information about an account that I did not open and have no connection to. Since I have no relationship with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and have not provided consent, neither ChexSystems nor XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has a permissible purpose to furnish or access my information. 
2. Inaccurate and Fraudulent Information ( FCRA Section 1681e ( b ) ) : The information furnished by ChexSystems is not only inaccurate but is also a result of identity theft. As a consumer reporting agency, ChexSystems is required to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information it furnishes, and it has failed to do so in this case.

3. Violation of My Rights ( FCRA Section 1681c ) : Reporting fraudulent or inaccurate information without proper investigation and verification is a direct violation of my consumer rights under the FCRA. Furthermore, if this information is outdated, it should not be retained on my report beyond the statutory period. 

The continued reporting of this fraudulent account has caused significant damage to my financial standing and has been done without my consent or authorization. I request that ChexSystems immediately remove all references to the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  account from my consumer file and conduct a thorough investigation to verify the validity of this dispute.
