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. 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.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Dear TransUnion, I am writing to formally dispute and request the immediate removal of an account being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. 

This account is inaccurately and unfairly reported. XXXX XXXX XXXX has sent me all collection correspondence exclusively in XXXX, a language I do not speak, read, or understand. This is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

By failing to communicate in a language I understand, XXXX has denied me a fair and reasonable opportunity to validate or dispute the debt before it was reported to the credit bureaus, which compromises the accuracy and integrity of the reporting.

Under FCRA 1681s-2 and 15 U.S. Code 1692e, inaccurate or misleading credit information must be corrected or deleted. This reporting is both inaccurate and misleading, and therefore must be removed.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX, AND XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH capital 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. 

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 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 XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX, AND 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

Complaint narrative:
Im writing today because Ive noticed something concerning on my credit report, and Im respectfully requesting a formal investigation into it.

There is a late payment being reported on the account listed below that I believe is either inaccurate or unverifiable. I take my credit and financial responsibilities seriously, so seeing this kind of negative information is deeply disappointing and discouraging. 

The following accounts are reporting incorrectly : XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - Under 15 USC 1666B this is a billing error always paid as agreed on time this is an error this account in violation. - Please remove late payment history and update it to paid as agreed I understand that mistakes can happen, and Im simply asking for this to be looked into properly. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I have the right to request a reinvestigation of information I believe to be inaccurate. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 requires that information furnished to you must be accurate and verifiable. If the creditor can not prove that the late payment occurred as reported, I kindly ask that it be removed from my credit file.

Ive also attached a copy of my ID and a utility bill to verify my identity and address.

Im not asking for anything unreasonablejust a fair review under the law. Ive worked hard to rebuild my credit, and something like this can be a major setback. If this can not be fully verified, I respectfully request that it be corrected or deleted in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ).

Thank you for taking the time to look into this. Id truly appreciate any effort to resolve the matter fairly and in a timely manner. Please send me the results of your reinvestigation once completed, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ).
