Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Credit Reporting Agencies, I am writing to formally dispute an alleged late payment reported on my account. This late payment was reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX to your agency, [ XXXX/TransUnion/XXXX ] XXXX and I believe that this entry is inaccurate. The payment in question is identified as late, but I do not believe that the creditor has followed the legal requirements to report it as such under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related laws. 
Legal Basis for Dispute : Under 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ), the term consumer report does not include reports that solely contain information regarding transactions or experiences between a consumer and the person making the report. As such, any transaction or experience between myself and XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX regarding this account should not be included in my consumer credit report. 
Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1666b prohibits a creditor from treating a payment as late unless they can show that the periodic statement was mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date. This is an essential element for justifying any late payment reporting. 
Requested Documentation : In order for XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX to justify reporting this payment as late, they must provide proof of compliance with the following : 1. Proof of Compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) : I request documentation showing that the periodic statement, containing all required information, was mailed or delivered to me at least 21 days before the payment due date.

2. Detailed Documentation : Under 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ), specific information must be included in the periodic statement. Please provide documentation that proves the statement was issued in compliance with these requirements and was delivered within the legal timeframe

Complaint narrative:
Bill.com refuses to verify my account despite providing my Drivers License, Articles of Incorporation, IL certificate, EIN and bank account verification information. This has been going on for 2 months. At this point, bill.com is stealing money for me by refusing to transmit the payment and/or send me a check from my clients. I spoke with their customer services team and they require me to submit a " selfie '' which is neither a business document or formal requirement ( with a history of identity thief there is no reason for me to share this information given what has already been provided ). I consider this extortion on their part. I have already provided information that is more than sufficient to prove Identity and Ownership. I would like my account to be verified so I can continue to conduct business and for bill.com to release the money I am owed. A XXXX  shouldn't require me to provide more than is what is necessary, and they admitted themselves I have provided all of the legal and regulatory documents required.
