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

Complaint narrative:
I trust this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally address concerns regarding my consumer credit report. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and after recently obtaining a copy of my credit report, I discovered discrepancies that warrant your immediate attention.

It has come to my notice that my credit report contains inaccuracies, specifically in relation to late payments associated with finance charges. As per the United States Code, Title 15, Section 1605, the computation of a finance charge for any consumer credit transaction should encompass all charges imposed directly or indirectly by the creditor. Notably, fees and amounts imposed by third-party closing agents are excluded from the definition of a finance charge unless required or retained by the creditor.

Upon thorough review, it is evident that late payments have been erroneously reported despite the presence of a finance charge. I draw your attention to the relevant sections of the United States Code, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1605 ( a ), which clearly delineates the criteria for the inclusion and exclusion of charges in the finance charge calculation.

I hereby request the expeditious removal of all late payments associated with a finance charge from my consumer report in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1605 ( a ). As a consumer, I am entitled to accurate and equitable reporting of my credit history, and any infringement upon this right will be addressed seriously.

I want to emphasize that, pursuant to the law, these accounts must be promptly updated to reflect " paid as agreed. '' Failure to rectify this matter immediately may compel me to pursue monetary damages for the violation of my rights under 15 U.S. Code 1605 ( a ). I am prepared to initiate legal action in small claims court in my city and state under 15 U.S. Code 1681n civil liability.

Furthermore, I have already lodged a complaint through various channels, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, State Attorney Generals Office, Better Business Bureau, and Federal Trade Commission. I anticipate a thorough investigation into this matter.

For your reference, the specific details in dispute on my credit report are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number - XXXX I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter and anticipate a swift resolution. Please furnish written confirmation of the corrections made to my credit report. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my concern regarding an erroneous late payment that has been reported on my credit report. I have made multiple attempts to rectify this issue by contacting the merchant as well as XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX directly, yet I have not received any resolution or acknowledgement of my dispute. 

According to my credit report, there is a late payment entry recorded for an account that does not reflect my financial history accurately. I have thoroughly reviewed my records, and there was no occurrence of any late payment associated with this account. This misinformation is adversely affecting my credit rating, and consequently, it is hindering my ability to obtain a mortgage and purchase a home. 

I have diligently contacted the merchant in question, explained the situation, and requested their assistance in resolving this matter. Unfortunately, despite their acknowledgment that there was an error made, they have failed to take appropriate action to correct the reporting with the credit bureaus. 


I appreciate your attention to this matter and your prompt resolution. Please inform me of the actions taken to resolve this dispute at your earliest convenience. I look forward to a positive outcome and renewed confidence in the accuracy of my credit report. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely,

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I received an offer from Citi to turn my credit card balance into a flex loan. The offer said that I could get money deposited in my checking for up to my total credit card balance, and I would get a fixed interest rate of 11.99 %. It stated that I would have a minimum payment of {$72.00} every month, which includes both the principal and interest owed on the loan for that month. This would be for 60 months. 

I took up the offer for my full balance of {$3200.00}, and had nothing else on my credit. I have not and dont plan on changing anything else on this card. However when my first payment was billed to me, I was charged not only the minimum payment of {$72.00}, but was also charged {$27.00} interest on the {$3200.00} loan balance. This gave me a minimum payment of {$99.00}, which put me over my credit limit by {$27.00} and was put on my credit report. I was charged interest XXXX both in the agree fixed payment amount and separately on top of what was promised to be my minimum payment. 

Customer service cant understand what the problem is, and after a while promises to refund me the interest to my checking account. I never received any refund, and they wont fix it for the future.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain inaccurate and unauthorized information on my consumer report XXXX XXXXXXXX, generated on XX/XX/2023. These inaccuracies are causing significant harm to my credit score, and I request that you take immediate action to correct them. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I am exercising this right by disputing the following highlighted portions of the report : [ All highlighted Hard and Soft Inquiries/ Address ]. 
I believe that these items are inaccurate because I never applied for credit from the highlighted Creditors yet they chose to report inaccurate information on my consumer report and when contacted to dispute I was met with no response which is out of my control. It is my hope Experian can investigate these fraudulent Inquires and remove them as they are unauthorized and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
If you require any further information to process my request, please do not hesitate to contact me. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution to this dispute. 
Respectfully submitted XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I sent a certified letter to TransUnion LLC asking them to correct inaccurate information on my credit report. The letter was accompanied by extensive and conclusive evidence that the debt in dispute was previously settled with the creditor. My letter and evidence was signed for and received by TransUnion LLC on XX/XX/2023. On XX/XX/2023, I received a letter from TransUnion LLC that their investigation was " complete ''. However, the inaccurate information was never corrected or removed from my TransUnion report. 

According to the FCRA, " If a company that provided disputed information to a credit reporting agency is unable to determine whether the information is true or not, the law requires them to tell the credit reporting company the information could not be verified so that the credit reporting company will stop reporting it. '' I have attached my original dispute letter with accompanying extensive and conclusive evidence, confirmation that my dispute letter was received by TransUnion LLC, and a copy of their response for your review.

After you review this information, please make sure TransUnion LLC adheres to the FCRA and corrects or removes the inaccurate information from my credit report. If they fail to do so, please inform them of my intent to sue in Federal Court to have the erroneous information reviewed. 

Thank you.
