False Promises : I contacted 60 Day Credit Repair to help improve my credit score. They promised that my score would increase by XXXX points within 90 days, guaranteed.

Cancellation of the alleged {$1500.00} debt 2. Refund of the fees I paid for services not rendered 3. Cessation of all debt collection activities related to this matter 4. Any other appropriate actions to prevent these companies from engaging in similar practices with other consumers Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Hello. As referenced in the FBI report, the individual, who goes by the name of XXXX XXXX, contact number XXXX, operated through fraudulent means to steal {$9000.00} from my XXXXXXXX XXXX Account and into his business Chase Bank Account by using a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX to claim he would serve as a third party to deliver legal services for me for three cases attached to this email by paying upfront for the paperwork and then he would provide the service. He first contacted me on XX/XX/year>, after I posted an ad on XXXX for legal representation for some cases. 

After looking at all the finished documents he told me he filed, I later found out he did not file any of the cases attached with the court. Through my investigation, I discovered almost nothing about him or what he told me he did regarding my case is accurate except maybe the citations for the laws broken in my case scenarios. However, that still needs to be verified by a licensed attorney. Almost everything else, from the law firm to the Attorney that he said represents me, XXXX XXXX, was made up. Once I contacted the Attorney at XXXX, he told me he does not know any individual by the name of XXXX XXXX or the business. 

Every individual or business who I contacted to verify if they know XXXX XXXX from work employment verifications and potential co-workers specifically let me know that they do not know him. I called the clerk 's office to verify if the money I paid him to file the Civil courts on my case was filed in the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and they told me that they have nothing on record filed with the court for me. Almost Everything XXXX XXXX told me to convince me he is an attorney has been proven to be false. 

Based on my own Private investigation, which I have done through a Service, his business is not licensed anywhere in America, nor is his name coming up on any database. This means he opened his bank accounts through fraudulent means or using someone else 's bank account, which is not legal. I've attached all my supporting documents for you. 

I have pleaded and asked the recipient Chase Bank to reveal the true identity of the account of the individual who stole my money and they refuse to reimburse my account or reveal the identity of the imposter. No one has done anything yet to retrieve my funds. PLEASE help.

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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. 
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 60 days 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.

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!

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TransUnion for failing to conduct a proper investigation into my disputes and for accusing me of using an unauthorized third party to submit my requests. Additionally, TransUnion failed to respond to my second dispute letter. I mailed two separate dispute letters to TransUnion, disputing inaccurate personal information and accounts on my credit report. I made sure to include copies of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address to verify my identity. 
The first letter was mailed on XX/XX/year> ( USPS certified mail tracking number XXXX ), and I received a response dated XX/XX/year>. The response stated : " We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. '' The second letter was mailed on XX/XX/year>, but I have not received any response from TransUnion to date. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), TransUnion is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information in a consumer 's file. It appears that TransUnion has violated my consumer rights by failing to investigate my disputes, falsely accusing me of using an unauthorized third party, and not responding to my second dispute.

I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
