Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information that appears on my credit report provided by XXXX. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified an account labeled XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that I did not open or authorize. This fraudulent account is not associated with any transactions or activities conducted by me, and its presence on my credit report is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The fraudulent account details are as follows : - Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Reported Balance : {$600.00} - Date Opened : XX/XX/year> - Status : Collection account The inclusion of this fraudulent account on my credit report not only represents a severe breach of my financial security but also poses a significant threat to my creditworthiness and reputation. As per the FCRA regulations, credit reporting agencies bear the responsibility of ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the information they report on individuals ' credit profiles. 

Section 611 of the FCRA explicitly outlines the responsibilities of credit reporting agencies when reporting fraudulent information, emphasizing the need for accurate and timely investigation of disputed accounts. The presence of unauthorized and fraudulent accounts on my credit report not only compromises my financial standing but also violates my rights under the FCRA. 

I demand that the fraudulent account labeled XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX be promptly investigated and deleted from my credit report. This unauthorized account poses a serious risk to my credit reputation and financial well-being, and its immediate removal is imperative to mitigate any further harm. 

I expect a prompt response and the deletion of the fraudulent account from my credit report within the legally mandated timeframe of 30 days. Failure to address this matter in a timely and compliant manner will result in further action to seek redress for the violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical issue. I look forward to the swift resolution of this dispute and the removal of the fraudulent information from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Planet Home Lending reports to the credit reports that my monthly mortgage payment is {$6300.00} while in effect it is only {$3100.00} for principal and interest. The reminder is for escrow payment. However this does not get explained to anyone else who sees my credit report and they pick up my minimum payment of {$6300.00} rather than XXXX. As such other lender ratio analysis doe not qualify me for credit. This needs to be changed so that only the {$3100.00} is being reported as a liability payment. This is incorrect. I effect Planet Home Lending reports a me having XXXX XXXXXXXX of liability to them, rather than XXXX XXXXXXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

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

WFBNA 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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
