Complaint narrative:
I recently disputed some incorrect items on my credit report with Transunion, and they responded by saying that they are refusing the block the information I requested to be blocked because my identity theft report is not original. I don't know what that means, but I am seeking compensation for damages for nun compliance. The identity theft report submitted was directly from www.identitytheft.gov is is in fact original. Per 15 USC1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA allows consumers to recover up to {$1000.00}. Their consent neglect to properly report my credit has been dramatically affect me and my family 's life, and it is time for them to be help accountable. I bank with XXXX bank, and and receive direct deposit with XXXX bank as well, and the bank bank keep denying me credit cards and much needed loans, because they are saying Transunion is telling them I have lots of hard inquiries and delinquent accounts which is false. Transunion is tarnishing my name and my identity for a reason I do not know. They are also reporting that I am 2 month late on my XXXX account which is false. I am currently up to date on that account and do not owe on it nor has that account ever been late. They hateful actions toward me has again been affecting me and my family.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account with was 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 60 days 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.

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 XXXX

THE LEGAL Definition PER THE IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or " Charge off '' is Income. I never received a 1099-C FROM for the cancelled debt. These companies are writing off debt with the IRS WITHOUT sending out 1099-C as required by the IRS for debts greater than {$600.00}. This is ILLEGALL. ALSO In Their TERMS and conditions they agreed not to share my information with non affiliates. XXXX, XXXX, and TRANSUNION is not an affiliate of these Companies nor are they " bureaus ''.

I immediately contacted XXXX who closes the account, removes the unauthorized charge and issues me a new charge card.

I them received a letter date XX/XX/XXXX that concluded the transaction is not fraudulent. 
I receive a call on XX/XX/XXXX from the Dispute Department at XXXX saying I am being held responsible for this charge of {$XXXX}, primarily because I was in XXXX XXXX at that time and my email and phone number was used and credit card was used. 
My communications to XXXX included an email XX/XX/XXXX stating I contacted XXXX for a refund. On XX/XX/XXXX I send a letter to XXXX detailing my attempts to get a refund from XXXX because no-one showed up for the reservation. On XX/XX/XXXX I send another letter to XXXX with proof that I stayed at XXXX XXXX  during this trip to XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX FREE. On XX/XX/XXXX I send another letter to XXXX enclosing a copy of my Boarding pass from XXXX to XXXX XXXX arriving at XXXX am PST ( XXXX HST ). The reservation for the {$XXXX} was made on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX HST. I am already in XXXX XXXX at XXXX HST so I could not possibly have made this reservation with XXXX. My next letter to XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX informs XXXX that XXXX has refunded XXXX  all monies except for {$XXXX} a one night no-show fee. On XX/XX/XXXX I send a letter to dispute the decision made by XXXX that this was not fraud. 
I receive a letter today dated XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX stating that this was not fraud and I am liable for the {$XXXX} and it is now due.
