Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX  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 in to be removed.

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.

TARGET/TD never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX, I use a penfed auto loan to purchase my Jeep out of the expiring lease agreement at an interest rate of 3.39 % To the best I can recall, Penfed never told me I was responsible for titling the vehicle and sending them the updated title. It is in the agreement, but given that lenders typically handle this piece of the process themselves, it would be reasonable to inform me directly. 

In XXXX, without clear notification of any kind, Penfed increased my interest rate from 3.39 % to 17.99 %. I didn't notice it and just kept making the monthly payments. According to the loan document, my not updating the title put the loan into default, which allow them to make the change to the interest. Except they never notified me I was in default and they never directly notified me that my loan had a significant interest rate change ( possibly a violation of the Truth in Lending Act? ). They kept happily collecting my payments. 

In XXXX XXXX, I checked my loan information and realized I was being charged the much higher interest rate. I contacted Penfed and the email exchange I've attached ensued, where penfed assured me that if I properly titled the vehicle they would correct the interest rate and all erroneously paid interest to date would be retroactively applied to the principal balance. I immediately made the first available appointment at my DMV to update the title. 

In XXXX XXXX, I was able to get verbal confirmation that although they were going to revert my interest rate to the 3.39 %, they wouldn't be applying the overpaid interest to my loan balance. They said the contract is what matters and the email promise is irrelevant. The math is complicated but they've clearly received an additional XXXX XXXX  {$20000.00} in interest from me on this, and despite promising to fix the situation if I titled the vehicle, they reneged on that promise once I completed my side of the agreement.
