Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Despite multiple written requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, constituting a violation of multiple federal statutes, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Violations Committed : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Violations : Under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The continued reporting of this inaccurate late payment demonstrates a failure to comply with this requirement.

15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of consumer credit files. In my case, this obligation has not been upheld. 
15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) requires that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in credit reports.

15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) states that certain transactions and experiences should not be considered part of a consumer report if they do not meet specific criteria.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Violations : The TILA emphasizes the necessity of accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The wrongful reporting of a late payment has damaged my creditworthiness, causing undue financial harm. 
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) Violations : 15 U.S. Code 6801, 15 U.S. Code 6802, and 15 U.S. Code 6803 require financial institutions to protect consumer privacy and ensure the accuracy of financial reporting. The mishandling of my credit information suggests a failure to meet these obligations. 
Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act holds creditors accountable for providing timely statements and preventing unfair penalties. The continued presence of this late payment on my report contradicts this protection.

Identity Fraud and Misreporting - 18 U.S. Code 1028A : The continued reporting of false information could be classified as a misrepresentation of identity or fraudulent reporting, which carries legal consequences under federal law. 
Formal Request for Correction : I formally demand the immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation from my credit report. 
If this issue is not resolved immediately, I will escalate my complaint further, including potential legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant agencies. 
Reference to PAANL ( Paid As Agreed Never Late ) : The terms of our agreement have always been met, and the account in question must reflect the status of " Paid As Agreed, Never Late. '' I request documented proof supporting the claim of late payments, including : Dates, amounts, and all communication records indicating that the payments were actually late. 
In the absence of valid proof, I expect an immediate correction of my credit report. 
If, after investigation, you fail to provide verifiable proof of late payments, I demand that the account be updated immediately to reflect its accurate status as " Paid As Agreed, Never Late. '' Per the FCRA, I expect a timely investigation and a written response within 30 days from the receipt of this dispute letter. Failure to comply will be considered a direct violation of multiple federal laws. 

Inaccuracies in XXXX XXXX Account High Balance Consistency All bureaus correctly report {$14000.00}, but the supporting details differ in accuracy. 


Date of Last Activity Discrepancy TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ). This inconsistency creates confusion in the account timeline. 


Incorrect Late Payment TransUnion still reports a XXXX late payment in XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX XXXX XXXX  have already updated the account to positive/paid. 


Account Status Conflict All bureaus show Closed, but TransUnion simultaneously lists the Payment Status as Current while still showing a late payment, which is contradictory. 


Creditor Remarks Inconsistent TransUnion states Early termination/obligation satisfied, XXXX reflects the account as satisfied, and XXXX  shows Closed or paid account/zero balance Auto. These inconsistencies undermine the accuracy of reporting. 


Repeated Dispute History This is the third dispute for the same late payment error, and TransUnion has failed to correct the reporting despite XXXX XXXX XXXX already updating the record. 
Because this is a third unresolved dispute, TransUnions continued reporting of a XX/XX/XXXX late payment is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and must be immediately removed to ensure accurate and fair reporting. 
Resolution Requested : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction. 
Acknowledgment of compliance with federal laws. 
I trust that you will promptly rectify this issue and ensure my credit report reflects accurate information. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter.
