Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This serves as my FINAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO LITIGATE regarding the patently inaccurate late payment entries reported by XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion under XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  XXXX. Despite my formal disputes submitted on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, you have failed to correct or adequately verify the reported delinquencies as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Sections 611, 604, and 1666b. Your continued inaction is a willful violation of my rights, causing significant harm to my credit standing and financial opportunities. As a good-faith effort to resolve this matter without the need for litigation, I am extending a settlement offer : ( 1 ) the complete deletion of all 2 inaccurate late payment entries across all three bureaus, and ( 2 ) payment of {$200.00} to compensate for the damages suffered. This offer is valid for ten ( 10 ) calendar days from the date of this letter. Failure to respond with written acceptance and a corrective action plan within that period will result in the immediate filing of a federal complaint for violations of the FCRA. I will seek actual, statutory up to {$2000.00}, punitive damages, and full reimbursement of legal fees. You are now formally on notice of your legal exposure and urged to treat this as a final opportunity to resolve this matter without litigation.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
I called Midland Credit Management to resolve a debt via a settlement. We verbally agreed to a 40 % discount to settle the debt, close the account, and report to credit agencies as settled for less than the full amount owed with no more payments required or owed. However, they insisted on not being able to send an email or a letter with that information and insisted I had to pay before they would send me a letter with our agreement. 

Virtually every reputable source for advice on paying settlements mentions getting a clearly articulated written agreement before paying. This company Midland Credit Management has reviews online that mention how their customers agreed and settled over the phone, but then somehow the agreement was not reflected in the account after payment, and more money was listed owed after payment. I am trying to ensure that this will not happen to my account. 

I spoke with them on XX/XX/year> and they hung up on me and we spoke again XX/XX/year> when we agreed to an amount, but they would not provide a clearly articulated agreement in writing. After I insisted on this, the manager became significantly more rude to me ( he had been so earlier in the conversation ) and threatened " escalated collection efforts '' if I did not pay before receiving any written agreement of settlement.

Company: Mercury Financial Intermediate LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint against Mercury FB & T for repeatedly mishandling my fraud disputes tied to charges made through a deceptive mobile app called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, appearing on my statement under the name XXXX. 

While I technically authorized the purchases, they were made under false advertising, illegal merchant behavior, and all during a a mental health crisis, which I disclosed to Mercury. After initially providing a provisional credit, Mercury revoked it, claiming I authorized the charges- without properly investigating the deceptive and unlawful conduct involved.

I later offered substantial documentation, including : - Explaining bait-and-switch withdrawal schemes through advertisements - Three different versions of the apps Terms of Service, showing significant changes made after I paid - Attempts to contact the merchant, who uses false contact info and shell company names -Illegal Activity in VA & SC ( online gambling is NOT allowed in these states, so the companies were operating illegally ) Mercury has a difficult process to send information, either by Fax or USPS. I was unable to send any documentation to them due to a lack of finances.

Mercury closed my dispute multiple times based only on my initial filing, and ignored new evidence I submitted. This violates my rights under : Regulation Z, which requires a good faith investigation of credit card disputes FTC standards for unauthorized or deceptive merchant activity XXXX rules , which prohibit fake XXXX codes and untraceable merchant IDs

My accounts 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. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.
