Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IN XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Credit Reporting Agencies Re : Credit Report Dispute Removal of Accounts per 15 U.S.C. 1666b and 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( b ) To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally demand the immediate removal of the following accounts from my credit report : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX  XXXX XXXX These accounts must be removed pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, which outlines the rights of consumers to dispute billing errors under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and more specifically because I did not receive the required disclosures under 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( b ) within the 21-day period before the payment due date.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( b ) According to 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( b ), creditors must provide periodic statements disclosing finance charges, fees, and other critical information at least 21 days before the payment due date. Failure to provide these timely disclosures is a direct violation of the Truth in Lending Act, rendering the creditors negative reporting to TransUnion improper and unenforceable. 
Strong Legal Precedents Numerous court decisions reinforce that credit reporting agencies and creditors share a responsibility to ensure that reported information is accurate and lawfully obtained. For instance : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : Reaffirmed that disclosures under TILA must strictly comply with statutory requirements to protect consumers. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : Emphasized that creditors have a continuous obligation to provide accurate disclosures and correct billing errors without penalizing consumers. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : Clarified that noncompliance with TILAs disclosure requirements can invalidate subsequent collection or negative reporting efforts. 
These cases underscore the legal principle that any derogatory marks reported in violation of TILAs mandatory disclosure requirements can not stand. Since I did not receive the required statements with disclosures within the legal timeframe, these accounts must be expunged from my credit file. 
Demand for Immediate Removal Given these facts, it is clear that continued reporting of the above-referenced accounts on my TransUnion credit report is both erroneous and unlawful. I demand that you : 1. Immediately remove the listed accounts from my credit report.

2. Provide me with a new, updated credit report showing these removals.

3. Confirm in writing that the above accounts have been deleted from my file. 
Should you fail to comply with this lawful demand, I will not hesitate to pursue further remedies, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General. Additionally, I reserve the right to seek civil remedies for damages, attorney fees, and costs as allowed by federal law. 
Please be advised that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) also impose strict obligations on credit reporting agencies to ensure maximum accuracy of consumer credit files. Continued reporting of accounts that violate TILAs disclosure requirements is willful noncompliance, leaving TransUnion liable for any harm caused. 
I expect your prompt attention to this matter. Please respond within 30 days of receipt of this letter confirming the permanent removal of the disputed accounts. If you have any questions or need additional information, you may reach me in writing at the address above. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
