I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to has verified these. 

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question.

Complaint narrative:
Billing and reporting errors by my bank are having a serious negative impact on my credit. According to the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ), creditors are legally required to accurately reflect payments and credits, but several mistakes have occurred. Payments I made on time were either not recorded properly or miscalculated, leading to inaccurate balances. Additionally, I was never given the mandatory 21-day notice before a payment was due, which makes any reported late payment invalid.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, a charge was made from XXXX in the amount of {$920.00} via my US Bank Debit Card. This payment was made without my authorization and was ran automatically without my consent. On XX/XX/2024, I contacted XXXX to set up an extension on payments and the payment to run on XX/XX/2024, the amount was for {$400.00}. When the charge for {$920.00} happened on XX/XX/2024 I immediately called my bank " US Bank '' to dispute the charge. I was advised it needed to be processed as a fraud transaction, they cancelled my existing card, and provided a provisional credit 1 week later. The provisional credit is temporary until they complete their investigation. During this time I was also disputing it with XXXX, they even refunded me my overdraft fees because they knew my payment should not have ran. On XX/XX/2024 I receive a letter from US Bank stating they declined my dispute, but did not provide me with any kind of proof of why the declined it. And on XX/XX/2024 I was charged XXXX back to my account again, sending it into a negative balance. This should have been very cut and dry, I did not authorize a charge, I asked for a refund and they refused. At that point my card was charged without my permission because we had an agreement that the payment would run XX/XX/2024 and for XXXX not XXXX

I'm a victim of identity theft and data breach where my information was compromised and used without consent. I submitted the FTC report to Transunion and disputed the public record 3 times and they are saying its verified when it was filed as fraudulent and not my record.

XXXX has already investigated and removed the fraudulent report already. According to the fair credit reporting act 16 CFR 681.1 you are not following the proper protocol how are you reporting information that's not mine and the court didn't report it to you? Please remove this from my report as it is causing damage I did not do.
