Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address an ongoing issue with the reporting of an account that I believe is inaccurately reflected on my credit report. After reviewing my recent credit report from your bureau, I have found that the account XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX continues to report incorrect information, despite my prior attempts to rectify the situation. 

As outlined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681, 1681s-2, and 1681c, I am requesting that you immediately take action to ensure the information regarding this account is fully corrected and that the updated and accurate details are reflected in my credit file.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681, credit reporting agencies are required to maintain accurate and complete information. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 places responsibility on furnishers of information ( including creditors and financial institutions ) to report accurate data to the credit bureaus. Lastly, 15 U.S.C. 1681c sets clear guidelines regarding how long negative information, such as charge-offs, should remain on a credit report, and mandates that any outdated or erroneous data be promptly removed. 

If the inaccurate information continues to be reported, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action against your organization for violating the FCRA, as it is essential that all information reported on my credit report be accurate and in compliance with federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry on my credit report related to XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ). The entry indicates that my payments were 30 days late during the following months : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. 
I believe this entry is inaccurate, as my records show that all payments were made on time. As such, I am exercising my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681d ( 1 ), 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), to challenge the validity of this late payment report. These accounts are inaccurately and invalidly reported to your bureaus, as they are not reflected in my XXXX credit report. This inconsistency is clear and compelling evidence that these items are either erroneous or unverifiable. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies report only accurate and verifiable information. This late payment entry does not reflect my true payment history and is misleading to potential creditors. By continuing to report this inaccurate information, your agency is violating federal law and this treatment is unjust and detrimental to my financial standing. 
I request that you promptly investigate this issue and correct the record by changing the late payment entry to " OK '' or " Paid on Time '' status. Under the FCRA, I understand that you must complete the investigation within 30 days and provide me with written confirmation of the correction, as well as an updated copy of my credit report.

State: NC

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.
