Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request a detailed description of the investigation process followed by your agency regarding the disputed accounts on my credit report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are required to provide a description of the investigation within 15 days of receiving a consumer dispute. 

I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed inaccurate reporting of late payments on the following account : Account in Question : XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Account # : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2022 Balance : {$7100.00} Status : Open, Current Issue : Three incorrectly reported late payments despite being paid on time. 

Violations and Discrepancies : Failure to Maintain Accuracy : The reported late payments contradict my actual payment history. Per 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit bureaus must ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports.

Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit bureaus must investigate disputed items. I request a full explanation of the verification process used to confirm the alleged late payments.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 : Furnishers of information must report accurately. Reporting late payments where none exist is a violation of federal law. 

Failure to Provide Investigation Details : Credit reporting agencies must provide a description of their investigation methods upon request. I expect a full breakdown of how this account was verified and what documentation was used. 

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Violation : According to 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ), I request written confirmation of the procedures in place to ensure that periodic statements were mailed at least 21 days before the due date, as required by law. 

Requested Action : Correction of Late Payment Reporting : I demand the immediate correction of my XXXX XXXX XXXX account to reflect a status of Paid As Agreed, Never Late. 

Written Confirmation of Investigation Methods : Provide a description of the procedures used to verify this account and the documentation supporting the alleged late payments. 

Removal of Inaccurate Late Payments : If the late payments can not be verified with original, signed contractual evidence, they must be removed from my report immediately. 

Compliance with FCRA Response Timeline : As required by law, provide a response within 30 days from the receipt of this dispute letter. 

Failure to address this matter promptly will result in a formal complaint being filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and possible legal action. Your cooperation in ensuring the accuracy of my credit report is both expected and required under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, both Equifax and Experian are violating my consumer rights as they continue to allow furnishers to report fraud accounts. Equifax and Experian received my identity theft package and soon after, removed the accounts that needed to be removed, only to then report them back on, reinsert. Well i never received a notice of the reinsertion like the law states we have to. Accounts that were previously blocked as fraudulent should never have the ability to come back.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding the credit reporting agencies and furnishers failure to properly investigate and remove fraudulent accounts and inquiries from my credit report. This is a direct violation of multiple federal laws, including but not limited to : 15 USC 1681 ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( Requirement to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation ) 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( 3 ) ( Requirement to provide proper notice of investigation results ) 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( Obligation to remove inaccurate information ) Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( Right to request and receive verification of account details ) 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) ( Debt collection communication disclosures ) I have made previous attempts to dispute the following fraudulent accounts and inquiries, yet they remain on my credit report, causing financial harm and damage to my creditworthiness : Fraudulent Accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I demand that these fraudulent accounts and inquiries be immediately removed from my credit report. The credit reporting agencies have failed to meet their obligations under federal law by not conducting a proper investigation and by continuing to report inaccurate information. If this matter is not resolved within 15 days, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action against all responsible parties, including the credit bureaus and data furnishers, seeking damages for willful noncompliance with the FCRA.

This is my final attempt to resolve this matter amicably. Please treat this as a formal complaint and conduct a thorough investigation into the wrongful reporting of these accounts and inquiries. If necessary, I am prepared to escalate this issue to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and pursue civil litigation to enforce my consumer rights. 

A prompt written response acknowledging this complaint and detailing the actions taken to resolve this issue is required.
