Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to report multiple inaccurate, misleading, and harmful credit entries that are currently being reported by furnishers and credit reporting agencies. These accounts have been damaging to my credit profile, affecting my ability to obtain fair credit and causing emotional and financial hardship. Despite my repeated efforts to dispute and request verification, these accounts remain unresolved and continue to violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I respectfully request the CFPBs assistance in investigating these issues and ensuring that my credit report is corrected as required by law. 
XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/year> Balance Owed : {$520.00} Chargeoff XXXX XXXX  Issue : This account is inaccurately reporting a charge-off status that I believe is either outdated, incorrect, or improperly verified. 
XXXX : FCRA 611, 607 ( b ), and 602 Any item reported must be accurate, verifiable, and complete. A charge-off must be confirmed and supported by documentation upon consumer request. 
Story : I do not recognize the details of this account, and I have not received any notice or validation from the furnisher that supports this charge-off. Reporting such derogatory information without full verification violates my rights and damages my creditworthiness. I am requesting that this account be deleted or fully validated in accordance with FCRA law. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate these matters thoroughly and take appropriate enforcement or corrective action to ensure my rights as a consumer are protected. These inaccuracies have caused serious damage to my XXXX XXXX and financial wellbeing, and they remain unresolved despite my good faith efforts to communicate with the furnishers and the credit bureaus. I respectfully ask the CFPB to ensure these accounts are properly verified or deleted and to hold the reporting entities accountable for any violations of federal law. I request copies of all findings and results once the investigation is complete.

Complaint narrative:
On both XXXX and XXXX, my XXXX XXXX is over XXXX. Transunion is reporting XXXX (? ). NOTHING has changed - I've made no new purchases, no recent credit checks, I do not use credit cards, etc. Everything has been the same for ages. All of a sudden I'm getting notices that my XXXX XXXX has dropped considerably. The person I spoke with at Transunion pretty much didn't have an answer. He finally said it was because I DIDN'T have any credit cards, etc. Which makes NO sense. If I have no late payments, no non-payments, etc. you would think my credit would be stellar, right? I'm of retirement age and want to buy a house to retire to, but they are ruining my credit!! Something has got to be done.. I am not taking on credit card debt just to 'elevate ' my XXXX XXXX .. that's ridiculous! Please help me!

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.

Complaint narrative:
I moved out of my apartment at XXXX North Apartments ( XXXX XXXX, CA ) in XX/XX/year>. Shortly afterward, I received a charge of {$9000.00} from the property XXXX with no itemization, photos, deposit accounting, or explanation. I made repeated written and verbal requests for a full breakdown of charges and supporting documentation. None has ever been provided. 

Instead, the unsubstantiated debt was referred to multiple collection agencies, most recently XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), who reported the amount to TransUnion and other credit bureaus. Each time I requested validation from a collection agency, I was either stonewalled or treated aggressively. I formally disputed the account each time and received no adequate response. 

XXXX eventually provided a " validation '' consisting of nothing more than the original lease agreement and a single line labeled " XXXX XXXX '' showing {$9000.00}. This does not constitute proper validation under the FDCPA, as it fails to include any itemized charges or evidence substantiating the debt. Despite this, the amount continues to be reported, materially damaging my credit during a critical period in which I am applying for a mortgage.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed o

n 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 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
