Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
The reported entries are inaccurate and do not reflect my true payment history. I have made several attempts to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, but no substantial action has been taken. Even after submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the errors remain unresolved. This situation has created financial hardship and has significantly impacted my well-being. Addressing these inaccuracies has become a stressful and exhausting process. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that truthfully represents my financial history, including the prompt correction of any outdated or incorrect information. I respectfully request immediate action to correct or remove these late payment entries. Failure to do so would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a swift and appropriate resolution.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I went to court in XXXX XXXX XXXX for a lawsuit from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$2900.00}. The lawsuit was dismissed by the courts on XX/XX/year>. I sent all legal documents to Transunion and asked that they remove this lawsuit from my credit report. They refused to remove this charge, saying that the legal documents were unacceptable. I asked them to verify the legal documents directly with the court since they didn't believe me. They refused to do that stating that they don't have to tell me whether they called to verify the documents or not- they were just going to do whatever they wanted and they are under no obligation to tell me anything even though this affects my credit score and they are illegally putting false information on my credit report. 
I would like this information removed from my credit report since the case was dismissed.

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal demand for the complete disclosure of the method of verification used during your prior investigation ( s ) of the disputed items on my credit report. Under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) [ 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) ], you are legally required to provide a description of the procedures used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the disputed information, including the name, address, and contact information of the party who verified the data.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This is a continuation and update to CFPB complaint XXXX. Since filing my complaint, Truist has denied my Fraud claims without doing an investigation. 

I reported {$12000.00} in unauthorized transactions after my car was broken into and my wallet, including my drivers license and debit card, was stolen. I disputed the transactions as soon as I saw them ( although I was never notified by Truist that my account was in overdraft, despite that I had reported on the website that my debit card was stolen immediately at the car break in ). I provided Truist with notice of the theft and they requested a police report. 

I then had to request a copy of the report from police, and the only way to do this was via mail, which is a very slow process. However, just days before I finally received the report, Truist denied my fraud claim solely due to " lack of documentation '', even though I had informed the bank that the police department required additional time to mail the official police report. Truist closed the investigation before the police report was received, without making a substantive determination as to whether transactions were authorized. 

The police report was submitted to Truist immediately upon receipt. 

While the fraud dispute was unresolved and my previous CFPB complaint was already pending, Truist debited the {$7300.00} ( which my compromised account had a negative balance of ) from a third party business account that was jointly owned by my father and an unrelated business partner, using a description of " right to offset/ force pay debit memo '' and applied those funds to XXXX out my checking account. Neither my father nor his business partner authorized this transfer or were even notified of it. This business account is unrelated to my personal account and the underlying transactions were all disputed. 

Shortly after, Truist closed my new personal checking and savings account and revoked my online access while the fraud dispute remains unresolved. At the time of the account closure, my accounts has {$4900.00} and {$50.00} in positive funds.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Law Office of Brett M. Borland, P.C.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
A collection account from XXXX XXXX XXXX is being reported on my credit report related to an apartment balance. I disputed this account because it is inaccurate and not supported by valid documentation. 

I requested debt validation from the collection company and their law firm. In response, they provided documents that do not establish my liability. The lease they provided is unsigned and contains no signature or initials from me. There is no valid contract showing I agreed to be financially responsible for this debt. 

They also failed to provide a complete itemized ledger, proof of legal assignment, or documentation supporting the charges being reported. Required notices under Texas Property Code 92.104 were not provided. Despite these deficiencies, the collection company continues to report the account as accurate. 

I disputed the account with the credit bureaus, but it was still verified without proper validation. Reporting a debt without a signed agreement or verifiable documentation is inaccurate and misleading. 

I am requesting that the CFPB require the collection company to cease reporting this account and that it be removed from my credit report due to failure to validate and inaccurate reporting.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX 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. EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX 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

I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a written dispute to TransUnion regarding inaccurate credit reporting. The dispute was submitted with proper identity verification and authorization. 

Instead of conducting a reinvestigation of the disputed account, TransUnion responded by questioning possible third-party involvement and did not provide any investigation results, verification of accuracy, or method of verification.

More than 30 days have passed since my dispute was submitted. TransUnions response did not address the substance of the dispute and does not satisfy its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation.
