Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Credit Inquiries What Happened? 
I previously filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. The reference number for that complaint is FTC Complaint Number XXXX, filed on FTC Complaint Date XX/XX/XXXX. 
Complaint Description : My credit report contains unauthorized inquiries that were made without my consent. Upon contacting the creditors responsible for these inquiries, they confirmed they have no evidence that I initiated these inquiries and lack any written or verbal authorization from me. 
Due to the lack of valid grounds for these inquiries, I formally requested their immediate removal. The credit bureau in question has not provided a satisfactory response, which is why I filed a complaint with the FTC. 

Details of Disputed Inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Fair Credit Reporting Act, FCRA ) : Permissible Purposes : Under Section 604, unauthorized inquiries do not meet the requirements for permissible purposes.

Handling of Unverifiable Information : According to Section 611, any inquiry that can not be verified must be removed.

Right of Verification : Section 609 grants me the right to verify each inquiry with an original signed contract.

Information Provider Responsibility : Section 623 requires that reported data is accurate and authorized.

Protection Against Identity Theft : Section 605A mandates the removal of unauthorized inquiries potentially related to identity theft. 
" I am attaching the report of the formal complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) as additional support for this claim. This report reinforces my request for the removal of unauthorized inquiries from my credit report, as it details the lack of authorization for these inquiries and the inadequate response from the credit bureau involved. '' Additional Legal Support : Cases such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) reinforce that inquiries must meet the FCRA 's permissible purposes requirements.

Formal Request : I am formally requesting a thorough and manual investigation of the disputed inquiries and their removal if there is no verifiable documentation. I reserve the right to take legal action and file an additional complaint with the CFPB and my state 's Attorney General. 
Sincerely XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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.

TRANSUNION 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!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I intended to contact XXXX XXXX regarding a debt resolution. Using XXXX, I selected what appeared to be XXXX XXXX contact information, unaware it was actually an advertisement for Credit Sage misrepresenting themselves. When I called, the representative claimed to be with XXXX XXXX, asked me to confirm my account, and accessed my personal information. 
The representative then asked for my debit card information, stating it was needed to verify my account and assist with resolving the debt. Believing I was speaking to XXXX XXXX, I provided the requested information. The representative falsely claimed Credit Sage would resolve my issue and charged me approximately {$400.00}. However, these services were never provided, and I later discovered I had been misled. 
This misrepresentation and unauthorized charge constitute deceptive practices. I seek to recover my funds and request that appropriate action be taken to address this fraudulent activity and prevent similar incidents in the future.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint regarding fraudulent accounts and transactions that have appeared on my credit report. I have been a victim of identity theft, and despite my efforts to secure my personal information and protect my credit, these unauthorized accounts and transactions continue to harm my financial standing. 
To mitigate further damage, I have placed the following fraud alert on my credit reports : " ID XXXX XXXX : FRAUDULENT APPLICATIONS MAY BE SUBMITTED IN MY NAME OR MY IDENTITY MAY HAVE BEEN USED WITHOUT MY CONSENT TO FRAUDULENTLY OBTAIN GOODS OR SERVICES. DO NOT EXTEND CREDIT WITHOUT FIRST VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE APPLICANT.

These unauthorized entries are negatively impacting my credit score and affecting my ability to access financial opportunities. I have taken appropriate steps by filing a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and notifying the relevant financial institutions, yet these fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report.
