Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 to be removed/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. 

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!

Complaint narrative:
YOUR COMPLAINT This account was sold to a third party client by the name of Portfolio Recovery ( PRA ) without my legal consent authorization. I have not received any written agreement from this client which is in pursuit of 15 USC168B. This can potentially be against 18 USC 1028A as Aggravated Identity Theft to myself as a consumer. I have not provided Portfolio Recovery my wet signature in regard to this collection. This collection was originally in the care of XXXX XXXX. In correspondence of this information, PRA sent documents to my mailing address to have me filled out a identify theft document as I declined because identity theft was not done by me but by PRA when they purchased my account as highlighted in yellow from the previous debt collection company.
