Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I sent a written dispute and formal request for debt validation to National Credit Systems via email to XXXX. In the email, I requested that they provide verification of the alleged debt, including the name of the original creditor, the amount owed, and any documentation proving that I am legally responsible for the debt. It has now been well over 30 days, and I have not received any response or acknowledgment from the company. 
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), they are required to respond to a debt validation request before continuing collection efforts or reporting the debt to credit bureaus. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene and ensure that National Credit Systems ceases all collection activity and removes any negative reporting related to this account until and unless the debt is properly verified.

I have screenshots and documentation of the original dispute email and its delivery date, and I am happy to provide them upon request.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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 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 was sent an XXXX debit card from Bank of America card services to receive unemployment benefits. XXXX discontinued using Bank of America Card services ( last 4 of XXXX ). I had a balance of {$270.00} on my Bank of America card from my account when the account was closed by Bank of America Card Services. When I called the Bank of America Card Services I was advised that if I completed a motorized affidavit of my ID or visit a local branch to show my State ID that I would receive a check in the mail. However, after completing a notarized affidavit by mail and visiting a local branch where the branch manager called the card services and verified my ID. I never received the account balance in the mail. Therefore, after several calls to the Bank of America card services, I have been advised to repeat the same process again and again with no resolution.
