Subject : Request to Block and Delete Accounts Due to Identity Theft Pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2 ( a ) To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally notify you that I have become a victim of identity theft as a result of a recent data breach at XXXX. In accordance with my rights under 15 USC 1681c-2 ( a ), I am requesting that you block and permanently delete any fraudulent accounts, inquiries, or information associated with the identity theft from my credit report. 

I am also attaching proof that I was a victim of the XXXX data breach, and I kindly request that this information be considered as part of my claim.

Additionally, I have identified that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which was not filed by me, has been erroneously added to my public records. The reference number is XXXX, with a filing date of XX/XX/year>. This information is a result of identity theft and must be blocked and removed from my credit report.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies must block any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within FOUR business days.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion consistently prevents me from accessing my credit reports, even after successfully signing in on numerous occassions. Unlike XXXX and XXXX, which reliably provide my credit reports without issue through the Free Annual Credit Report service, TransUnion fails to do so. They also generate unusual identity verification questions, and even when I answer them correctly, they still refuse to provide my report. 

This issue goes beyond access : I have serious concerns that TransUnion is inaccurately reporting my credit information. My TransUnion credit score is always significantly lower than my XXXX and XXXX scoressometimes by as much as 100 points. This week, for example, TransUnion is showing a score nearly 100 points lower than the others. Given that creditors often rely on TransUnion for credit checks, this ongoing discrepancy has unfairly impacted my financial opportunities and creditworthiness. Its essential that TransUnion corrects this issue immediately, as their inaccurate reporting is directly affecting my financial health.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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. 


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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year> my XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX who I have a restraining order against due to XXXX XXXX. He issued two fraudulent stop payments to the account which resulted in the account getting closed without my knowledge. The paid in full payment was made, than almost a month later after the relationship ended he then fraudulently reversed the transaction saying he didnt authorize it, which he did and I have proof of that. After trying to remedy the account and multiple ways, customer service has yet to even provide me with any solutions other than paying the total balance off and opening a new account. My XXXX XXXX  was the one who linked his bank account with my CareCredit account so that the payments would be taken out of there, likewise the same bank account was used to make other prior paid in full payments and has always been linked to my CareCredit account for over a year. Ive called customer service multiple times and have explained the situation with my XXXX the XXXX XXXXXXXX along with informing them about the restraining order I have against him. After countless efforts to remedy and reopen my account, the customer service has yet to offer any resolution. Even after I bring up prior conversations Ive had with other customer service reps along with the manager they have yet to have any documentation. 
They dont seem to keep record of prior phone calls, complaints, and disputes made on the accounts, and they dont actually do what the customers asking them to do. I had no idea that my account was closed until I went to go use it for a vet bill and couldnt! 

After months of trying to fix my account, I check again and they increase the balance, even though I cant use it and theyve ve been charging me a card security and a paper fee, I can not use the account due to it being closed. Customer service tells me the card security is to pay off the balance if a financial hardship happens, which I told him I am going through a. Financial hardship due to XXXX XXXX and losing work after what she said that I couldnt use the card security even though Ive been paying on it.
