Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX Bank account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information on Credit Report Violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate and inconsistent information that has been reported on my credit reports from the major credit bureaus. Under **FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i**, I am entitled to have any erroneous or unverifiable information corrected or removed from my credit report.

I have identified the following inaccurate information, which appears differently across the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) : Self Financial/Lead Bank **Account Number** : XXXX **Discrepancy** : The status of this Account on XXXX says and paid closed. {$530.00} written off. But on XXXX the status of this account says just Charge off then on XXXX the status of this account says payment after charge off/Collection. Then the status update says XX/XX/year> on XXXX. On XXXX the status Updated says XXXX 2024 but on XXXX the status update says XX/XX/year> the balance Update doesnt have a date on XXXX and on XXXX XXXX balance update is XX/XX/year> but on XXXX XXXX balance Update is XX/XX/year> and the Address to Self Finanical/Lead Bank is different across all 3 Credit bureaus. 
This information has negatively impacted my credit score, and I believe it to be inaccurate and in violation of the FCRA 's requirement that information must be reported consistently and accurately by all credit bureaus. As a consumer, I am requesting an investigation into this matter and that any unverifiable or inconsistent information be removed or corrected. 
In accordance with **FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i**, I kindly request that the CFPB intervene in this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that my rights under the FCRA are upheld. Please provide a written response detailing the actions taken by the CFPB and the credit bureaus to resolve this issue. 
I have attached copies of my credit reports, along with any supporting documentation, to assist in your investigation. Please feel free to contact me if further information is required. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
