Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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!

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a chandelier for {$1600.00} from Designer Lighting ( XXXX NJ ) in XX/XX/year>. It arrived damaged. The merchant agreed to refund me if I returned the item. They promised to send me a return mailing label many times but 4 months later and they have not sent it. I filed a billing dispute with Citibank Master card. After 4 months Citibank said although my proof was more than sufficient to justify a refund the merchant refused to issue a refund. Doesn't Citibank have means to collect that from the merchant? Arbitration? Escalation to Mastercard? Just because the merchant is a fraud and will not issue a refund ( even though they did say in writing they would refund me multiple times ) does Citibank just accept that and not get my money back? Doesn't Citibank have other means to get that refund to me? I would think many merchants would simply refuse to refund for a billing dispute if they never had to refund money.

Complaint narrative:
Second Dispute of Unauthorized Late Payment Reporting for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) ** Dear TransUnion, I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries on my consumer credit report regarding the account XXXX XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute regarding two late payments recorded for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, which I can confirm were both paid on time. Unfortunately, despite my request, your agency has failed to provide the necessary documentation to support these claims. Your response of no change needed is unsatisfactory and a clear failure to comply with my lawful request.

In accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, I am again requesting the following documentation : The periodic statement for each alleged late payment.

The tracking number proving that each periodic statement was delivered to me at least 21 days before the respective payment due date. 
As previously stated, I expect this documentation to be provided as part of your investigation into the accuracy of this information. TransUnion has failed to comply with my initial request, which was in full compliance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have also filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), case # XXXX, regarding this issue. 

This letter serves as a second attempt to resolve this matter and demands that you conduct a full and thorough investigation into the accuracy of these late payment entries. In accordance with Section 611 of the FCRA, your agency is required to ensure that the information in my credit report is accurate and complete to the maximum possible extent.

Additionally, the reporting of this information appears to violate 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) as it was done without my written permission. I request a copy of the written authorization bearing my wet signature that allowed this reporting.

Furthermore, I affirm that I did not authorize the reporting of this information to your agency. Therefore, under Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA, I demand a thorough investigation and written confirmation that you have completed this investigation, including the names of the entities you contacted to verify the accuracy of this information.

Complaint narrative:
Congress passed the No Surprises Act to help protect Americans from certain unexpected medical bills, including surprise medical bills for emergency services from out-of-network providers. In addition, the CFPB told debt collectors and consumer credit reporting companies that they cant collect, furnish, or report any invalid medical debt.

The three nationwide credit reporting companies XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX also removed all paid medical debts from consumer credit reports and those less than a year old. They have also taken steps to remove all medical collections {$500.00} and under. If you mail anything to me via mail it will be considered mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and extortion.

18 U.S. Code 1028A - Aggravated identity theft Whoever, during and in relation to any felony violation enumerated in subsection ( c ), knowingly transfers, possesses, or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person shall, in addition to the punishment provided for such felony, be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years.

18 U.S.C. 1341 is a federal law that defines mail fraud. It states that mail fraud occurs when someone uses the U.S. mail to further a criminal act, such as by : Devising a scheme to defraud, Intending to perform fraudulent acts, Mailing something to execute the scheme, and Making false representations.

18 U.S.C 884- Collection of extensions of credit by extortionate means ( A ) whoever knowingly participates in any way, or conspires to do so, in the use of any extortionate means. ( 1 ) to collect or attempt to collect any extension of credit, or ( 2 ) to punish any person for the nonpayment thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
