Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed incorrect items on my Transunion credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, Transunion advised the debts on my credit report had been validated with the collection agency and determined to belong to me. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Transunion via phone and inquired about the investigation process and was provided with no answers, so I sent a written letter requesting the investigation process. I am still awaiting this information. On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to access my credit report on Transunion 's website, I verified my identity, but was unable to access my credit report. I called Transunion and spoke with a representative on XX/XX/XXXX and was advised he could only assist with freezing or unfreezing my credit report, but could not assist in unlocking my account or provide any additional information. On XX/XX/XXXX, again I attempted to access my credit report, but I have been restricted from doing so. I also tried to use AnnualCreditreport.com to access my Transunion credit report and access to my report has been restricted, I was only able to access XXXX and XXXX. It is my belief that I am being penalized because I disputed items on my Transunion report that did not belong to me and Transunion violated my rights under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by advising the debt was validated without actually completing an investigation.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

I am listing accounts and inquiries below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My accounts 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 to be removed/updated.

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. 

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!
