Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Reporting of Late Payments and Account Closure Violations Complaint Against : XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Address : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX of the Complaint I am filing this complaint regarding the unauthorized and inaccurate reporting of late payments and the improper closure of my account by XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as the subsequent reporting of this information by XXXX and TransUnion. Despite sending a letter to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, requesting clarification and compliance with applicable laws, I have not received any response. 
The actions of these entities violate several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1691 ), as outlined below : Issues with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
1. Improper Account Closure : On XX/XX/year>, I received a letter from XXXX  XXXX XXXX. stating my accounts ending in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX was closed due to " account behavior not consistent with XXXX XXXX  expectations. '' The explanation provided is vague and fails to meet the specificity requirements mandated by Regulation B of the ECOA ( 12 CFR 1002.9 ). 
No prior notice or opportunity to address alleged issues was given before the account closure, violating transparency and fairness standards under the ECOA. 

2. Failure to Respond to Consumer Inquiry : On XX/XX/year>, I sent a letter to XXXX  XXXX requesting : A specific reason for the account closure, including any applicable adverse action codes ( XXXX to XXXX ). 
A GAAP-certified accounting of any alleged late payments. 
Reconsideration of the account closure and compliance with federal regulations, including the ECOA and FCRA. 
To date, XXXX XXXX has failed to respond, demonstrating a lack of accountability and transparency. 

3. Inaccurate Reporting of Late Payments : After the closure, XXXX  XXXX inaccurately reported late payments on my account to XXXX and TransUnion. These late payments were never communicated to me, nor was I given an opportunity to resolve them. 
This reporting violates the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), which prohibits furnishers of information from reporting inaccurate or incomplete information. 

4. Failure to Provide Full Accounting : Despite my requests for an itemized and GAAP-certified accounting of any alleged late payments, XXXX  XXXX has not provided this information, further violating transparency obligations. 

Issues with XXXX and TransUnion 1. Failure to Ensure Accuracy : Both XXXX and TransUnion have included inaccurate late payments from XXXX  XXXX on my credit report without verifying the validity of this information. 
This violates their obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure maximum accuracy of the information they include in consumer reports. 

2. Failure to Investigate Disputes : I filed disputes with XXXX and TransUnion regarding these inaccuracies, but both agencies failed to conduct a thorough investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). 
No corrective actions were taken despite the lack of evidence supporting the reported late payments. 

Harm Caused The inaccurate reporting of late payments and the improper closure of my account have caused significant harm, including : A reduction in my credit score. 
Difficulty in obtaining credit, which has impacted my financial stability. 
Emotional distress due to the lack of transparency and unfair treatment by these entities. 

Relief Sought I respectfully request that the CFPB take the following actions : 1. Against XXXX XXXX XXXX. : Investigate the improper closure of my account and failure to provide a legally compliant explanation under the ECOA.

Require the removal of all inaccurate information from my credit reports.
