Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with TRANSUNION 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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. 


TRANSUNIONNever 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

Complaint narrative:
Description of the Issue : I have several accounts listed on my credit reports from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX that do not belong to me and should be removed immediately.

Actions Taken : I filed multiple disputes in 2024 with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX for the above accounts, providing documentation that these accounts are not mine. 
Despite these disputes, the accounts remain on my credit reports, and I have not received a satisfactory resolution from the credit bureaus. 
I have requested that the credit bureaus remove these accounts from my credit reports, as they are incorrect and do not belong to me.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, while on vacation in XXXX, XXXX, I went to fill up at a gas station, where I handed my credit card ending in XXXX to the gas attendant who had a HANDHELD CREDIT CARD MACHINE, I assumed that the HANDHELD CREDIT CARD MACHINE was for the GAS STATION and no other business. He then proceeded to run my card on the handheld credit card machine that I thought was for the gas station and then returned it back to me stating my card was declined. I was not given proof of said declined charge. As a result, I proceeded to pay with cash where I was not provided with a receipt for cash payment. I was not aware this handheld credit card machine was for a business named XXXX XXXX XXXX  from XXXX XXXX . I DID NOT authorize payment of {$590.00} to this said merchant, only to the gas station XXXX. 
Again, although I DID hand my credit card for in person face to face charge, I was made to believe that the handheld credit card machine was for the gas station XXXX. I was not informed that handheld credit card machine was for another business. 

It is impossible to believe that I may be the first person that his happens to where people hand over their credit cards to be charged on a handheld machine, be told it was declined and later find out card was charged for a transaction that was not authorized. 

I am very displeased with Barclays asking for proof of payment with other means, as I stated before, when I was informed my card was declined ( with no proof provided ), I paid cash and was not provided a receipt for cash payment. I re-state, I can not be the first one that isnt provided a receipt for cash payment. 

Your letter dated XX/XX/year> mentions that Merchant has not violated the terms and conditions of the contract. I have called Barclays asking for the contract and the contact information of the merchant so I can then dispute the charge with the merchant directly. Barclays fails to provide this information. This is also unacceptable.
