I am writing about an account that appears on my credit which I have previously asked you to investigate but you have refused to do so properly the informations on my credit report regarding the XXXX XXXX  account ( # XXXX ) Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed multiple discrepancies that require immediate attention Repeated Charge-Off Reporting : The account is marked as " Charged Off '' month after month. Under FCRA guidelines, an account can only be charged off once. Repeated charge-off entries create an unfair representation of the account 's status and artificially harm my credit score.As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), an account can only be charged off once and should not appear as repeatedly charged off in subsequent months, This practice is inaccurate and misleading, as a charge-off is a one-time event, not an ongoing status. Repeatedly reporting the account as charged off inflates the negative impact on my credit report, this is an update to the payment history this inaccurate information falsely manipulates the status of limitation Balance Exceeds Credit Limit : The reported balance of {$4100.00} surpasses the credit limit of {$2200.00}, which is inaccurate and misleading. Please provide validation of this balance or correct it to reflect accurate figures. 

Delinquency Reporting : The report lists " Maximum Delinquency of 120 days in XX/XX/year>2023 and XX/XX/year>, '' which appears inconsistent with the accounts payment history. Additionally, there is no documentation to substantiate these claims.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment to be updated. 


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 XXXX days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


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


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
