Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with TransUnion 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.

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!

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account reported by Columbia Debt Recovery regarding an alleged debt with the original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX. This account has been reported on my credit report without my authorization, and I am a victim of identity theft. I have no knowledge of this account, and it does not belong to me. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 605B and 611, I have the right to dispute and request the removal of any inaccurate information, including accounts resulting from identity theft. Section 605B allows me to block information related to identity theft from appearing on my credit report. Additionally, Section 611 mandates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation and remove unverifiable information. 

Moreover, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) prohibits debt XXXX from attempting to collect on debts that are not valid or belong to the consumer. By reporting and attempting to collect on this unauthorized account, Columbia Debt Recovery is violating my rights under the FDCPA, which entitles me to legal recourse. 

The continued reporting of this fraudulent account is not only damaging my XXXX XXXX but also causing significant personal and financial distress. I request that Columbia Debt Recovery immediately cease reporting this account and delete it from my consumer report. Failure to do so constitutes a willful disregard of my rights under federal law. 

Please investigate this matter thoroughly and provide confirmation that this account has been deleted from my credit report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681XXXX ). 
After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : Disputed Inquiry : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/2024 XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/2024 XXXX CARD XX/XX/2024 XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/2024 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/2024 Basis for Dispute Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made.

Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally notify you that I have previously reported to Experian, XXXX and XXXX that I was a victim of identity theft, and I have provided a police report and an identity theft report under penalty and perjury along with a sworn affidavit. According to 15 U.S. Code 1692 and 15 U.S. Code 1681s2, as a credit furnisher, Experian, XXXX and XXXX are obligated to conduct a fair, thorough, and accurate investigation into any disputes regarding my credit information. Despite my efforts to provide sufficient evidence that my personal information was fraudulently used to obtain credit, Experian, XXXX and XXXX XXXX only acknowledges that my information was used but fails to verify that I, in fact, applied for credit with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Given the seriousness of this matter, I demand that Experian, XXXX and XXXX immediately remove any and all items related to this identity theft from my credit report.

I urge you to address this issue promptly and ensure that my data is handled in full compliance with the relevant privacy laws. Experian, XXXX and XXXX Does not have my permission to use my XXXX name. They are infringing on my XXXX name.
