My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX 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.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I was alerted to a collections item on my XXXX credit report, with a date reported of XX/XX/XXXX. I filed a complaint, disputing the debt, with CFPB, writing the following : " A collections item was reported to the credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX for {$600.00} from XXXX XXXX No previous notification was sent to me about this.I do not owe this debt. I had a XXXX XXXX account 5-6 years ago, but I closed my account and it was paid off. I have tried to reach this Collections Agency ( Transworld Systems, Inc. ) but they are unresponsive and it is impossible to reach someone by phone. I have sent a letter disputing this debt. '' The collection agency ( Transworld Systems/TSI ) responded by sending a letter ( attached ) that shows amounts they claim that I still owe XXXX from a cell phone account I haven't used since XXXX, and was closed and paid off in XXXX. 

Transworld Systems/TSI claimed to have sent me an Initial Demand Letter on XX/XX/XXXX. They sent this to an old address that I have not received mail at for over 6 years : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WA XXXX. All mail sent to me at this address should be returned to the senders. I had no reason to provide XXXX  with my new mailing address because I closed my account, paid off the account and had no reason to expect any further communication from XXXX. 

I did not receive this Initial Demand Letter that Transworld Systems/TSI claims to have sent on XX/XX/XXXX. Transworld Systems/TSI claims that " no mail returns were received. '' This is difficult to believe. Others who have mistakenly sent mail to this address, intended for me, informed me that they received returned mail from this address, and I can prove it. Furthermore, Transworld Systems/TSI could have made a reasonable effort to obtain a current mailing address for me ( current as of XX/XX/XXXX, and clearly more recent ) through routine and minimal skip-tracing, such as by obtaining it from credit reporting records that all collection agencies have easy access to. 

By not making a reasonable effort to inform me of this claimed debt before reporting it to the credit bureaus, Transworld Systems/TSI is currently in breach of FDCPA, specifically 12 C.F.R. 1006.30 ( a ) ( 1 ) and Official Interpretation of 30 ( a ) ( 1 ), which requires consumers to be notified of the claimed debt before it is reported to the consumer reporting agencies.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/24 XXXX Wells Fargo XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC XXXX Transaction XXXX XXXX  XXXX I go to drive through to deposit rolled coins, {$2.00} in XXXX, {$2.00} in XXXX, and {$10.00} in XXXX. I use a mechanical roller that fills rolls full to noted amounts. Each roll I placed into the tube was full. After sending it over, XXXX said " she can tell '' when rolls are short and opened one of the dime rolls and claims an entire dollar was missing, " about XXXX cents from each. '' She only told me this after doing it, leaving me in my car and unable to supervise any of this counting. Again, my machine uses rolls with one end precurled and the tubes are designed to be filled full and when removed from the chamber the coins fall down leaving room to fold the other end. Both XXXX rolls were folded well into the green lines at the end. So I go inside and she shows me 1 roll with a dent below the green lines and XXXX already lined up in a tray. I know for a fact they were full and I suspect, for whatever reason, she stole a dollar from me. I would like someone to check the cameras and see what she did and whatever should happen to a banker who steals from customers

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Complaint narrative:
I was sent an American Express gift card as a birthday present containing {$250.00}. When trying to use it I found out it doesn't accept most stores/companies and will decline even though I had enough money. I tried logging into the account with the info I was given and the website would say there was an error which ended up happening everytime I tried to log in. I called customer service to explain the problem and they were very quick to tell me there was probably insufficient funds, but when I told them there wasn't, they just said it probably just doesn't work on the website and didn't even try to help with the problem I had when logging in. So now I have no info on how much money is in the account as I can not log in, as well as money just sitting there that I have no access to.
