Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( XXXX ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request through the CFPB portal for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to place a security freeze on my consumer credit file, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-1 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I attached a copy of my drivers license and proof of addressboth valid forms of identification that have been accepted by every other consumer reporting agency I contacted. 

To date, Clarity has failed to comply with the FCRAs mandatory timelines. Federal law requires that a credit freeze be placed within XXXX business days of a written request, yet several weeks have now passed with no confirmation, no PIN, and no freeze applied. XXXX other consumer reporting agencies processed the exact same request promptly and without issue. 

XXXX failure constitutes violations of : 15 U.S.C. 1681c-1 Failure to place a freeze as requested.

15 U.S.C. 1681n & 1681o Willful and/or negligent noncompliance, exposing them to civil liability.

15 U.S.C. 1681b Any access to my file since XX/XX/XXXX would be impermissible absent a freeze. 

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy and compliance with consumer protection laws. 

This conduct shows a pattern of obstruction and delay tactics, forcing me to make repeat requests for a service that is simple and legally mandated. It also places my personal and financial information at risk, while stripping me of rights Congress has explicitly granted. 

I am requesting the CFPBs enforcement intervention to ensure that XXXX : Immediately implements the security freeze on my file, Provides me with written confirmation and my PIN/password, and Is investigated for systemic noncompliance with consumer freeze requests.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against COLUMBIA DEBT RECOVERY LLC DBA GENESIS regarding a disputed debt that has been placed on my credit reports. 

I requested validation of the debt pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA 809 ( b ) ). The only documentation I received was a copy of my lease agreement. This does not constitute validation of the specific charge in question.

The debt allegedly stems from a claim by my former apartment management company that I hosted a party and am responsible for damages/charges related to it. I did not host this event, and no evidence has been provided to prove otherwise. The debt collector supplied a lease, move-out ledger, and overall ledger, but no documentation linking me to the alleged charge or proving I am personally responsible for it. They admitted they are not required to provide further evidence. This debt is being pursued and reported to credit bureaus without proper validation.

Despite the lack of proper validation, the collector continues to pursue the debt and is reporting it to the credit bureaus, damaging my credit standing.

This conduct violates FDCPA 809 ( b ), which requires validation of disputed debts, and FCRA 611, which prohibits inaccurate and unverifiable information from remaining on credit reports. 

I am requesting the following relief : XXXX. Cease collection activity until competent validation is provided. 
XXXX. Remove this account from all credit bureau reporting. 
XXXX. Provide written confirmation of compliance. 
Debt Collector Name : COLUMBIA DEBT RECOVERY LLC DBA GENESIS Account Number : Account # : XXXX Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY, XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have filed numerous complaints with TD bank in the last XXXX weeks. I received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX who told me he was the investigator and said he didn't have letters I sent to CEO a few months ago. I resent to him Certified mail and heard nohing I kept calling and finally reached him. He said he was passing it along to a different investigator and they would be in touch. Meanwhile my credit score keeps going down because everyone is lowering my credit limit ( which I am not using anyway ) so it looks like I am at a higher percentage of my limit. This is unethical and corrupt on the part of TD bank - I have been paying all my bills on time - check no late payments/ 100 % paying on time and never late. All my card limits are being lowered because of what TD bank has done to me. They never really investigated anything though they were given more than enough info. If I have a XXXX because of them I will leave instructions that my heirs should sue them for putting me in the grave. This is not a joke. a year and XXXX ago my credit score was XXXX and this am XXXX - I am beside myself with anger - how can a bank not investigate. They have turned over nothing to me, They didn't cooperate with the Sherrif dept either I want them to remove the remarks on my credit score NOW

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries currently listed on my credit report. I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
This prolonged issue has caused ongoing financial strain and has negatively affected both my credit standing and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been not only frustrating but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history. This includes the timely correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore urging your office to take immediate and appropriate action to update or delete the reported late payment entries in question.
