Consumer complaint received 2025-03-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
The late payment remark on my credit report is negatively affecting my FICO score, and I am requesting its removal to ensure that my credit profile accurately reflects my financial responsibility. Since payment history makes up approximately 35 % of my FICO score, it plays a critical role in determining my creditworthiness. Even a single late payment can lead to a significant decrease in my score, particularly if I have previously maintained a strong record of timely payments. 

This incorrect late payment is unfairly impacting my ability to access financial opportunities, including loan approvals and competitive interest rates. Because lenders and financial institutions heavily rely on FICO scores when assessing risk, this erroneous remark could result in increased borrowing costs or even credit denials. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to dispute inaccurate or unverified information on my credit report. If this late payment can not be substantiated or is found to be incorrect, it must be removed immediately. Additionally, I am requesting a goodwill adjustment from the creditor, as my history of responsible financial management demonstrates that this late payment does not accurately reflect my reliability.

Furthermore, I have identified other inaccurate personal information on my credit report, which may be contributing to reporting errors. I am requesting a thorough review and correction of any outdated, incomplete, or incorrect details to ensure the accuracy of my credit file.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Merchants & Medical Adjustment Bureau, Inc. dba Credit Bureau Associates
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
To Whom it May Concern : I am in the process of purchasing a new home and recently pulled my credit reports. I was shocked to find that currently reporting is a collection company by the name of Credit Bureau Association for what they are stating is a medical account. I am disputing the validity of this collection and the reporting of it because I do not recognize the debt. I have no recollection of ever having the account. In addition, I have not received a call, text, or email which has furthered my suspicion of how this debt made it onto my credit reports. Due to this collection being erroneously reported to the bureaus, I have been unable to secure credit and it is impacting the approval for my home loan.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has documented XXXX repeated failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, even leading to legal action for violating the FCRA. This continued pattern of noncompliance is unacceptable, and I will not allow my credit profile to suffer due to negligence on your part.

Federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) clearly states that Equifax is required to conduct a thorough reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days. Any item that can not be 100 % verified must be deleted immediately. I demand that these errors be corrected without delay, as they are actively harming my financial standing. Continued noncompliance will not be ignored.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report contains late payment remarks that I strongly believe are inaccurate. These false records misrepresent my actual payment history and are unfairly damaging my financial reputation. I refuse to let these inaccuracies go unchallenged. 

Despite my responsible financial habits, these errors are creating unnecessary obstacles. The FCRA is clearany outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information must be removed immediately. I expect swift corrective action, as any further delay will only amplify the damage already caused.

I received a debt collection from Amsher regarding a XXXX bill that was past due. I never received any bills regarding final charge from XXXX. I disputed and explained that there is no way my account was past due as I had auto-pay payments set up my entire time with XXXX. I switched provider because they refused to approve my first responder plan that the representative convinced me into signing up for. I was charged more than I agreed to for month without being notified that my first responders discount was not approved. In addition, I spoke a XXXX representative when I disconnected my service. My phone numbers on the account were transferred to a different provider and my home internet was disconnected as well. I attempted to get more information from both parties with no success. Today, I paid off my debt due to ti affecting my credit score applications. I had to pay XXXX directly who still could not provide me information on the debt. In addition, Amsher has repeatedly stated they do not have the debt even tho my credit report shows their name. I would like file a complain on both parties.
