Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX, continue to report inaccurate and false information on my credit report. They are violating the COVID XXXX CARES ACT as well as FCRA LAWS. The accounts in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The CARES ACT was in place to protect consumers against this. 
According to Section 609 of the FCRA, I am entitled to receive a notice of my rights when I request a copy of my credit report. This notice must include information about my right to dispute errors in my credit report and to request a credit score.

Furthermore, Section 611 of the FCRA requires CRAs to investigate consumer disputes and to correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information in their credit reports. Section 615 of the FCRA requires CRAs to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information in credit reports. 

I have disputed these late payments with Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX but to date, no action has been taken to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. XXXX and the CRA 's have illegally altered the information several times, even adding more late payments. I believe that Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX have failed to comply with their obligations under the FCRA, specifically under the following sections of the FCRA : 623 ( a ) ( 1 ), which requires CRAs to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information in their credit reports. 
623 ( a ) ( 2 ), which requires furnishers of credit information to provide complete and accurate information to CRAs.

623 ( b ), which requires CRAs to reinvestigate consumer disputes if the consumer provides new information.

623 ( c ), which requires CRAs to delete information that is outdated, incorrect, or can not be verified. 

I demand that Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX take immediate action to remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report and to comply with their obligations under the FCRA. If Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX fail to comply with this demand, I will have no choice but to consider my legal options, which may include filing a lawsuit to seek damages, statutory damages, and attorney 's fees for FCRA violations. 

This unauthorized reporting has caused great pain in my life. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and resolution to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, our nonprofit organization, which had been approved for the XXXX XXXX XXXX program providing {$10000.00} per month in ad credits, received a debt collection notice from a collection agency affiliated with XXXX. This notice claimed an outstanding balance of {$44.00} on a XXXX Ads account that we had not activated or used, as we were still awaiting instructions from XXXX on how to utilize the grant effectively. 

Upon receiving the notice, we attempted to resolve the issue by contacting XXXX multiple times throughout XX/XX/year>. Despite these efforts, we received no responses or assistance in clarifying the reason behind the alleged charges or the process of activating our grant. This lack of communication and support from XXXX has left us unable to address or understand the claimed debt, which we believe to be erroneous given our non-use of the service and our eligibility for the XXXX XXXX. 

The collection notice incorrectly listed an address that is not associated with our current operations, adding further confusion and concern over the legitimacy of the debt claim. We suspect this may be an administrative error on XXXX part, yet without direct communication, we can not confirm this or rectify the situation. 

We seek a thorough investigation into this matter to understand the basis of the debt collection and to ensure fair and transparent billing practices are upheld, particularly in relation to nonprofit organizations participating in XXXX 's XXXX XXXX program.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. 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 reported in XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. XXXX5 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 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 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!

Company: Fig Tech Inc.
State: TX

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 FIG TECH INC - 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:
I have provided all XXXX pieces of information and expect these listed accounts to be deleted and blocked within XXXX business days of your receipt of this notice ; otherwise, you are in violation of my rights under the FCRA once again! If you do not initiate an investigation regarding my dispute and delete this information within XXXX business days of receiving this notice per 15 USC 1681c-2, as is my right under the FCRA, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Each violation of the FCRA allows for damages of {$1000.00} should this matter be brought to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) essentially states that if a person willfully violates any requirement of the FCRA with respect to a consumer, they are liable to that consumer for any actual damages suffered as a result. If actual damages can not be determined, the consumer can still receive statutory damages ranging from {$100.00} to {$1000.00}. This provision ensures that consumers are protected and have recourse if their rights under the FCRA are willfully violated.

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX  attempting to collect a debt that I owe to XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$400.00}. I was unfamiliar with this company and nor any debt that I was owed. I called the debt collection agency and Informed them that I was not this person they were looking for and to stop sending me letters. A couple of months pass and I received another letter with the same information and amount. I then saw the ability to respond by disputing the debt and checked this wasn't my debt and to send me more info about the debt that I was being accused that I owe. They responded and then sent copies of a bill around XX/XX/XXXX with more info about the company. The company was XXXX, which seems to be some internet company. I've never interacted with this company and the address that was used was an address that I've never lived at nor have been too. I believe the XXXX account was made around XXXX. I don't know anyone who lives at this address. I called XXXX again and informed them that I'm certain that this isn't my debt and to stop sending me letters. I was informed that they would need a cease and desist faxed to them in order to stop the letters. I made the cease and desist and faxed it. Around XX/XX/XXXX I then received a debt collection letter from Credit Controll LLC attempting to collect the same debt that XXXX tried to collect. I assume they had sold this debt to another debt collection agency.
