Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the creditor has engaged in unfair and misleading debt collection practices. Despite my efforts to resolve the outstanding balance, they have continued to report inaccurate information to the credit bureaus, which has negatively impacted my XXXX XXXX. I have made multiple attempts to dispute the errors, but the creditor has failed to provide clear documentation or respond to my inquiries in a timely manner. Additionally, they have violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by making repeated harassing phone calls outside of allowed hours and failing to provide required validation of the debt.

Company: Lloyd & McDaniel, PLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a recent court proceeding in which my rights as a consumer were violated. The case involves Lloyd & McDaniel, who sued me in court claiming to represent XXXX Bank. 

During the proceeding, the presiding judge displayed a concerning lack of understanding of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the rights it affords consumers. Specifically, when I informed him we had requested a debt validation letter, the judge asked what it was and appeared unfamiliar with this essential consumer protection under the FDCPA. 

Additionally, the judge 's ruling was based on an inadequate assessment of the case. When asked whether I had a credit card, I answered affirmatively. Without any further discussion or consideration of my rights under the FDCPA, the judge ruled in favor of the plaintiff. This cursory handling of the case ignored my right to have the debt validated and any potential defenses I may have had.

I am deeply concerned that if this judge is overseeing similar cases without a proper understanding of consumer rights, many individuals may have their rights violated and face unjust judgments. It is imperative that judges handling debt collection cases are well-versed in the FDCPA to ensure fair and just proceedings.

Given the seriousness of this matter, I urge you to investigate this case and take appropriate action to ensure that consumer rights are upheld in all debt collection proceedings. It is crucial that the judiciary is knowledgeable about the laws they are enforcing to prevent further injustices. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DC XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Unreported Rental Payments by Experian Dear CFPB Team, I am writing to formally submit a complaint against Experian regarding their failure to update and report my on-time rental payments for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. This action, or lack thereof, is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 USC 1681.

Under 15 USC 1681, consumer reporting agencies like XXXX are required to maintain accurate and up-to-date information regarding a consumer 's credit history. The failure to report my on-time rental payments undermines my creditworthiness and may adversely affect my credit score.

I have attached screenshots of my rental payment records for the aforementioned months, which clearly show that these payments were made in a timely manner. These documents serve as evidence that XXXX reporting is inaccurate and does not reflect my responsible payment history. 

I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Experian to ensure that they rectify this issue by updating my rental payment information in accordance with federal law. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely,

Additionally, I will be filing federal complaints against Trans Union for these unlawful practices because my consumer rights have been violated. I have not authorized them to report any information about me, and their actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires a permissible purpose for reporting such information. Their failure to comply with these legal requirements has caused harm to my credit standing. I request that the CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that this derogatory information is removed from my credit report immediately. Trans Unions failure to adhere to these legal standards has significantly damaged my credit standing, and I expect immediate corrective action. Illegal accounts include are : Fraudulent Account/ Transaction/ XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX Balance : $ XXXX : XXXX XXXX, XXXX  Fraudulent Account/ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/ Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX.

Their actions are in violation of the FCRAs requirement for a permissible purpose in reporting credit information. Again, I will be filing complaints at federal levels to address these violations and then seeking a lawyer. I have given Trans Union a fair opportunity to clear this up, however I am still being harassed.
