Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request the deletion of a specific account from my credit report with TransUnion Consumer Solutions due to inaccurate and inconsistent information, based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Details of the Account in Dispute : Account Number : XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX Creditor Name : XXXX  XXXX, XXXX Incorrect information identified in reports from all three credit bureaus. 
Legal Grounds for Information Deletion : Right to Accurate Information ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I request that the authenticity of this account be manually verified with the original creditor, rather than relying on the automated e-OSCAR system, and that I receive a detailed explanation of the verification process.

Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ( FCRA, Section 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Under this section, I demand a full reinvestigation of the account and immediate correction of any inaccurate information.

Deletion of Inaccurate or Unverified Information ( FCRA, Section 611 ( 5 ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ) : In accordance with the FCRA, if the information can not be verified, it must be removed from the report.

Responsibility of Information Furnishers ( FCRA, Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) : The creditors inability to validate this information warrants its removal.

Compliance with Accuracy Procedures ( FCRA, Section 607 - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The inaccuracy in my report suggests a failure to adhere to required accuracy procedures.

Permissible Purposes for Access ( FCRA, Section 604 - 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) : I request confirmation that access to my report was legitimate. If it was not, I request the removal of any unauthorized data.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, Section 1601 - 15 U.S.C. 1601 ) : TILA reinforces my right to accurate information, and the presence of this inaccurate account contradicts that right.

Supporting Case Law : In Cortez v. Trans Union, LLC ( 617 F.3d 688 ), the responsibility of credit bureaus to adequately investigate consumer disputes is emphasized. Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC further reinforces the obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
Transunion is reporting a third party collections account that does not belong to me from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. This account is also attached to an address that is not mine and not listed on my credit report. Third party collections violate the following : FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). This section of the FCRA requires that credit bureaus conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information. As the collection account is inaccurate and unverifiable, I request that it be removed from my credit report immediately. If the furnisher can not provide verification within 15 days, it must be deleted. FCRA 605 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) ** : According to this section, negative information such as collection accounts must be removed from a credit report. FDCPA 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ) ** : The **Fair Debt Collection Practices Act** prohibits the reporting of false or misleading information by debt collectors. If the account is not verified by the original creditor or if there are inaccuracies, I demand its immediate deletion under this provision. Unverifiable Debt : If the credit reporting agency and the collection agency can not provide valid documentation and proof of this debt as required by **FCRA 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) **, it must be removed from my credit report. Creditors and collectors are legally obligated to report accurate information, and failure to verify the account should result in its deletion. Furthermore, under 15 USC 1692g debt collectors must validate debt. If they can not its NOT enforceable. I am also enforcing my rights through UCC 3-501 by demanding proof of debt through the original contract. I also want an itemized statement of my debt under secured transactions law according to UCC 9-210. XXXX XXXX XXXX  no validation or billing explanation has been provided, a clear violation of fair credit billing standards. - **UCC 3-604 : ** Transunion is reporting a debt for which no contract or legal obligation exists, and no lawful consideration was provided. - **HJR-192/ Public Law 73-10 ( 1933 ) : ** The alleged debt is based on fiat, not lawful money , and no consideration was lawfully exchanged. - **20 USC 1087 : ** Transunion is assisting in the unlawful reporting of debt that is not valid. This account is **fraudulent, not mine**, and is causing damage to my financial credibility and emotional well-being. Transunions **continued reporting of this false and unverifiable debt** is unlawful and in direct violation of my rights.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported in 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. 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! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) as my client has identified inaccurate, unverifiable, or outdated information on their credit report. The credit reporting bureau has requested a Power of Attorney ( POA ) as a prerequisite to processing the dispute. As the authorized representative for my client, I am attaching the required POA documentation to ensure compliance with their request. However, under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are obligated to conduct reasonable investigations and can not impose unreasonable barriers, such as additional documentation, to dispute investigations ( 611 of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ).

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence | provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am submitting this complaint to formally dispute a collection account that has reappeared on my credit report. This account was previously removed after being found to be either inaccurate, unverifiable, or otherwise resolved. Its sudden reappearance is not only distressing but also unjustified.

The presence of this collection account is negatively impacting my credit score and overall financial well-being. It is causing me significant stress and is interfering with my ability to obtain credit, housing, and other essential financial services. I have made efforts to maintain a clean and accurate credit profile, and the re-reporting of this account is causing undue harm. 

I respectfully request a thorough investigation into how and why this account was reinserted into my credit report. I would also like confirmation that the furnisher has provided the required notice to the credit reporting agencies per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), which mandates that if a deleted item is reinserted, the consumer must be notified within five business days. 

Please take the necessary steps to investigate this matter and ensure that my credit report reflects only accurate and verified information. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
