Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681.

15 USC 1681e ( b ) ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

The reporting of inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency is damaging to my credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation.

I have disputed this charge-off on several dates and every single response came back verified. I will submit records of this.

The IRS defines a Charge Off as cancelled debt. When a debt is cancelled a FORM 1099C must be issued. The IRS states that a cancelled debt is Gross or ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED TO THE CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 to be removed/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.

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 have an AmEx gift card that says it's for {$500.00}. I couldn't recall if I'd used any of it so I tried checking the balance on AmExGiftCard.com/Balance but received an error so I called their customer service number. The agent I spoke to said the card had been taken by the state as unclaimed property and to reach out to the state 's unclaimed property department. I searched on Washington State 's unclaimed property website and there isn't anything in my name ( not sure the card would be in my name though ). Some XXXX told me this is a common issue and to file a complaint here.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the inaccurate and misleading reporting of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX on my credit report. The account is reported with discrepancies across the three major credit bureaus : XXXX : Last active date is XXXX, listed as collection or charge off. 
XXXX : Last active date is XXXX, listed as collection or charge off. 
TransUnion : Last active date is XXXX, listed as collection or charge off. 

I also wish to highlight that this account was sold without my consent, which is a violation of my right to privacy. Additionally, if the account was indeed sold, I should have been provided with proper documentation, including a 1099 form, which I did not receive. These actions are in direct violation of my consumer rights under federal law. 

Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and fair reporting of consumer information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The discrepancies in the dates last active and the incorrect reporting of the account as a collection or charge off, despite my lack of consent, constitute a violation of this requirement. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) mandates accurate reporting of collection accounts, which has not been followed in this case. 

Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The unauthorized sale of my account without proper documentation or my consent is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which prohibits false or misleading representations in connection with the collection of any debt. Moreover, the failure to provide a 1099 form or any other relevant documentation if the account was sold violates 15 U.S.C. 1692g, which requires debt collectors to validate and verify debt information accurately.

Request for Immediate Action : In light of these violations, I am requesting the immediate removal of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX from my credit report with all three credit bureaus. Additionally, I request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report reflecting this correction.
