Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX, and under the account name XXXX XXXX XXXX, has violated my rights on multiple fronts. FCRA Section 602A mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information they collect, maintain, and report about consumers. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to comply with this requirement, resulting in misleading and inaccurate information being furnished to creditors and other entities. 

Moreover, under FCRA Section 605B, consumer reporting agencies are strictly prohibited from including medical information in a consumer 's credit report without the consumer 's consent or unless required by law. Despite this safeguard, XXXX XXXX XXXX has included sensitive medical information in my credit report without any legal basis or my permission. This unauthorized disclosure of medical details not only violates my privacy rights but also undermines the fairness and accuracy of my credit report. 

Additionally, under Section 1692g ( b ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), debt collectors such as XXXX XXXX XXXX must cease collection efforts until they provide verification of the debt upon the consumer 's request. Despite my repeated requests for validation of the debt they claim I owe, XXXX XXXX XXXX has continued aggressive collection actions without providing any satisfactory verification. 

These egregious actions by XXXX XXXX XXXX have caused severe financial distress, damage to my reputation, and emotional turmoil. I demand immediate correction of my credit report to remove all inaccuracies, including the unauthorized medical information, cessation of all collection efforts until proper validation of the debt is provided, and compensation for the damages and emotional distress caused by their unlawful conduct.

My account with these company was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

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.

This company never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.
