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: NY

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute regarding incorrect information on my credit report and received an email from the credit bureau stating that they believe the disputes are originating from a third party. However, these disputes were submitted directly by me, not a third party. I even called to confirm my identity, but they still refused to process my disputes. I feel that the money I spent mailing my disputes was wasted. Additionally, I sent personal information by mail to verify my identity, only to find that my case was not thoroughly investigated.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and California Laws Dear CBNA, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), the California Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act ( CCCRAA ) under California Civil Code Section 1785.20.5, and identity fraud laws, specifically California Penal Code Section 530.5. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that CBNA has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, California state law, specifically California Civil Code Section 1785.20.5 of the CCCRAA, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, California Penal Code Section 530.5 underscores the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, which is classified as identity theft under California law. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for CBNA to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that CBNA immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and California Civil Code Section 1785.20.5 of the CCCRAA. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity theft laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, California state law, and identity theft laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that CBNA will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXXwas never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX 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 those account to be removed.

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 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
