Transunion is incorrectly eporting a closed account that has a 30 days past due date. This account was never late. As per 15 U.S.C. 1666a, which outlines the responsibilities of credit bureaus to correct or delete inaccurate information on a consumer 's credit report, I am requesting that this information be removed immediately. Under 15 U.S.C. 1637a, creditors and furnishers of information must ensure the accuracy and completeness of the data they provide to credit reporting agencies. Since the information in question does not comply with these provisions, it should be deleted from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams.This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: Wilber and Associates, P.C.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt collection related to an accident that occurred in XXXX. The debt was sent to collections after an insurance lapse, and while the collection agency has not reported the debt to my credit report yet, they have contacted me, demanding a large lump sum payment. After my request, they provided a price breakdown from XXXX XXXX that shows the amount owed. 

However, I believe the documentation provided does not fully address my concerns. The police report inaccurately states there was a stop sign at the location of the accident, which does not exist and if it did the driver did not stop. Additionally, the other party involved in the accident was a passenger, not the driver, which raises questions about liability as she is also stated a the operator on the police report that was sent. 

Furthermore, the debt collector has threatened to have my license suspended, which I believe is an unwarranted scare tactic with no legal basis. 

I am requesting that the debt collector provide additional substantiating documentation, including : Proof that they are legally authorized to collect the debt, such as an assignment agreement or purchase agreement with XXXX XXXX. 
Clarification of how the amount owed was calculated, and whether the liability breakdown takes into account the discrepancy in the police report and the questionable liability in the accident. 
The original contract or agreement between myself and XXXX XXXX to establish the debt 's legitimacy. 
If they are unable to provide these documents, I request that the debt be removed from my records and that all threats of license suspension cease immediately.
