Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX is currently in violation by reporting late payments on my consumer report The national emergency for the covid XXXX pandemic was recently declared ending as of XXXX XXXX XXXX. The XXXX act declares that late payments can not be reported. If you look at capital ones website there is still an active page that says reach out for help due to coronavirus relief. I did so and was under the impression that late payments were not to be reported and I had forbearance options. I was misled by them, and the credit bureaus should not be reporting late payments on my account. Furthermore the hero 's act suspends negative reporting of information to consumer reports during the caronavirus pandemic for which XXXX XXXX just ended. That means that the late payments being reported to my consumer report should not be reported which at present are being reported for XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX of XXXX. When the banks have issues they are bailed out. The people that keep the banks in business are promised something by law and they don't oblige. That is wrong. I demand that these late payments be removed at once. 

Furthermore under 15usc1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) which is under the exclusion section. It says a consumer report isn't supposed to contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person ( person can also mean corporation ) making the report. Payment history and utilization are examples of " experiences '' therefore they shouldn't be a part of a consumer report. 

Lastly 15usc6802 also known as the gramm leech bliley act, is a federal law and it supercedes all state laws and it most definitely supercedes company policy. XXXX XXXX never gave me the option to opt out of them reporting anything to my credit report which in turn is fraud. It's federal law to require a background check to purchase firearms, XXXX somebody opening their own pawn shop or XXXX shop and they say well " my company policy is that we don't do background checks '', what do you think would happen to the owner of that business? This is the same for XXXX XXXX. The law supercedes them and I never gave them authorization to report anything to my consumer report.

Company: Denefits LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against [ XXXX XXXX ]. This company has been trying to collect a debt from me without providing proper validation and has used illegal communication tactics and illegal reporting. 

I am an educated consumer and am aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite this, [ XXXX XXXX ] has continued to engage in the following illegal practices : Attempting to collect a debt without providing proper validation, including the amount owed, the original creditor, and proof that they are authorized to collect the debt. 

Using illegal communication tactics, such as harassing me with frequent phone calls outside of the hours allowed by the FDCPA, and making false or misleading statements. 

Illegally reporting the debt to credit reporting agencies, causing harm to my XXXX XXXX and report. 

I believe that Denefits LLC has violated my rights as a consumer and I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau takes action to hold them accountable for their illegal practices.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
