Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
There has been improper use of my credit report and even after a reinvestigation nothing has been done. As i stated before this account was charged off on the following date XX/XX/year>. Since then the account has repeatedly been updated as charged off every month. This is an update in the payment history. A charged off account should NOT include an active payment history. Also this account should reflect the first date of delinquent and it doesnt, its being updated every month. inaccurate information falsely manipulates the statute of limitations. You failed to investigate this account properly and your neglect has violated my rights. I am demanding a deletion of the following account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I contacted Transunion and XXXX regarding XXXX and XXXX ( XXXX ) fraudulent accounts that were created under my personal information. I filed a FTC report and affidavit stating same. XXXX agreed to delete XXXX ( XXXX ) accounts but stated XXXX ( XXXX ) account was being investigated and it would take 90 days before completed. Why? I do not know as I did not open this account. According to XXXX : " If a company that provided disputed information to a credit reporting agency is unable to determine whether the information is true or not, the law requires them to tell the credit reporting company the information could not be verified so that the credit reporting company will stop reporting it. Nonetheless, some companies have argued that if they are unable to determine that the disputed information is false, they are free to tell the consumer reporting company to continue providing the information on reports. 

Thats wrong, as the CFPB and FTCs brief explains. In the FCRA, Congress put express requirements on companies with respect to information that can not be verified. Those requirements would be meaningless if companies could continue providing unverified information and telling credit reporting companies that they could continue sharing it. 

Based on information above, XXXX can not verify this account and therefore credit reporting agencies should delete same until it can be verified. Transunion and XXXX are refusing to remove this account. XXXX said it does not give any further information to credit bureaus only states " it's under investigation ''. 

Please see attached documentation to all reporting agencies attaching FTC report and affidavit dating all of above.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I filed a XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy to protect my home from foreclosure. On XX/XX/year>, I sent Macys/American Express , a payment while in bankruptcy. The payment was accepted. I never made a late payment on this account. On XX/XX/year>, I called Macys to tell them that I was going to continue to make payments on my account. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX and was told that they were an in house collector for Macys/American Express . I told them that I do not pay debt collectors because debt collectors do not provide credit to me. They assured me that they worked for Macys/American Express . I sent a payment directly to Macys/American Express on XXXX through my bill pay. I now received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX, that is not a part of Macys/American Express . 
I need to understand why Macys/American Express sold my account to a debt collector when I was never late.

I am attaching my payment history.
