Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to file a complaint on XXXX, Equifax and XXXX about items on my consumer report that, by law, should not be reported. These institutions are currently reporting items, and I would like to address it. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, these companies reported a transaction as late. Per 15 USC 1681a, the law states ( 2 ) Exclusions : Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term " consumer report '' does not include : ( i ) Reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. This means that my transactions or experiences with your company are excluded by law from my consumer report. I am requesting that this transaction or experience be deleted. By law, it is not required to report late payments and I am asking that XXXX, Equifax and XXXX cite the specific law that requires them to report a transaction as a late payment. The only potential law that addresses late payments is **15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of Payments : ** ( 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 to ensure that each periodic statement, including the information required by **Section 1637 ( b ) ** of this title, is mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date. I am requesting that XXXX, Equifax and XXXX provide the tracking number for the periodic statement that was mailed or delivered 21 days before my payment due date, along with all the information required under Section 1637 ( b ). If they are unable to provide that information, this is a violation per the FCRA. Furthermore, I have attached documentation from XXXX confirming that they have sent a letter to the three bureaus to update the 30 days late payment on XX/XX/XXXX. They did not remove this late payment and update the payment history to reflect paid on time. I have attached the letter as well as an identification affidavit, drivers license, social security card and a utility bill in which all were mailed. I am formally requesting the deletion of all transactions marked as late on my consumer reports.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being.

The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.
