Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute Regarding Fraudulent Accounts - Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, DE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of several accounts appearing on my credit report, which I believe are fraudulent and violate my rights protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a consumer, I value my right to privacy and the accuracy of information reflected in my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified the following fraudulent accounts : XXXX. **XXXX  XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX - Date Fraud Began : XX/XX/XXXX - Date Discovered : XX/XX/XXXX - Total Fraudulent Amount : {$53.00} XXXX. XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Date Fraud Began : XX/XX/XXXX - Date Discovered : XX/XX/XXXX - Total Fraudulent Amount : {$3600.00} XXXX. XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Date Fraud Began : XX/XX/XXXX - Date Discovered : XX/XX/XXXX - Total Fraudulent Amount : {$3800.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX  - Account Number : XXXX - Date Fraud Began : XX/XX/XXXX - Date Discovered : XX/XX/XXXX - Total Fraudulent Amount : {$6500.00} These accounts were opened without my knowledge or consent and are the result of identity theft. I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding these discrepancies, and I have attached a copy of the complaint for your reference ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ). 

Under the FCRA, I am entitled to accurate and fair reporting of my credit information. However, I have identified potential violations in the reporting of these accounts : 1. [ ] 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 A : Right to privacy.

2. [ ] 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : Furnishing of accounts without written instructions. 

I request the immediate removal of these disputed accounts from my credit report as they are inaccurate and unfairly represent my credit history. Given the nature of these discrepancies, I believe these accounts to be fraudulent. 

Failure to rectify these discrepancies may result in legal action, as provided by the FCRA. I trust that you will conduct a thorough investigation into these matters and provide a prompt resolution. Kindly provide written confirmation of the actions taken regarding this dispute. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX **Attachments : ** 1. FTC Identity Theft Report ( Report Number : XXXX ) 2. Supporting Documents

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S.
Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

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. 


XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( b ).

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I ordered foundation from XXXX for a total of {$100.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX my package was marked as delivered to my front door but when I returned home from work, my package was missing. I checked my surrounding and asked my neighbors if they received it. I spoke with kohls customer service in which they requested for me to open a dispute with my credit card since they did not process refunds for third party credit cards. XXXX did offer a replacement but I told them that I would go in my local XXXX to order the foundation since it was needed for a makeup job and the replacements would not be in on time so I would have no use for them. I submitted all of this evidence twice to my credit card company and they are still denying my dispute and wanting me to pay for items I did not receive. I expressed to both companies on how {$100.00} is too much money to spend on a package that I never received!
