Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the late payment entries reported by your company to Transunion regarding my account XXXX. It has come to my attention that these entries are inaccurate and do not reflect the actual payment history of my account. 

According to my records, I have consistently made timely payments as agreed upon in our contract. The reported late payments for the XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/year> are not only erroneous but also damaging to my creditworthiness and overall financial standing. 

I am requesting that you thoroughly investigate this matter and provide me with a detailed account of the reasons these inaccuracies were reported. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute any erroneous information contained in my credit report, and I expect a prompt response from you regarding this matter.

One mistake I noticed it that I made a payment in XXXX but you are reporting me 30 and 90 days late in XXXX & XXXX. I demand that you immediately take steps to remove them from all credit reporting agencies. Failure to correct this misinformation will leave me with no choice but to pursue further actions, including contacting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and exploring legal remedies. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. I trust that you will handle it with the seriousness it deserves.

Complaint narrative:
I am in the process of trying to secure a home mortgage, and due to an internal block, Equifax is refusing to release my credit report to my lender and thus preventing me from getting a mortgage. I might lose my house because of this. 

I received word from my lender on XX/XX/year> that they were unable to receive the report from Equifax. I called Equifaxs customer service line and was told that there was an internal block and the only way to remove it was to mail them a hard copy of my social security card, drivers license, birth certificate, most recent pay stub, a bank statement, and a utility bill. I sent everything to their specified XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> and it was delivered on XX/XX/year>. 

I spoke to a customer service supervisor at Equifax on XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XX/XX/year> to check on the progress. 

On XX/XX/year>, the supervisor said that while my bank statement and social security card had been scanned into their system correctly, my drivers license and birth certificate were blank, and the only option I had was to resend everything again, wait another 5 business days to process and hope that my documents were scanned correctly this time. But that until the scans were in their system, they refused to lift the internal block that is preventing me from getting a home mortgage. 

I resent every document again on XX/XX/year>. I need them to lift whatever block they have in their system. Please help me!
