Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX To : [ Equifax / EXXXX XXXX XXXX choose one or all ] [ Insert credit bureau address ] Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Charge-Off Reporting XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dear [ Credit Bureau Name ] , I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate charge-off status reported on my credit file for the XXXX XXXX account listed above. This account is currently listed as charged off with a balance of {$370.00}, despite the past due amount showing {$0.00} and no valid verification of the charged-off status being provided. I previously disputed this account on XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, requesting full documentation to validate the negative information. To date, I have not received acceptable proof of the charge-off or an accurate breakdown of the balance. Therefore, I am exercising my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to demand that : You furnish documentation verifying the charge-off status, including : A copy of the original signed credit agreement, A full payment history, Evidence supporting the reported charge-off and balance ; If this documentation can not be produced, I request the deletion of this account from my credit file or the immediate correction of the status to reflect a {$0.00} balance with no charge-off ; Please provide a written explanation of the results of your reinvestigation and an updated copy of my credit report. Reporting a charged-off account with no balance due, and without proper validation, is misleading and violates the FCRA. If this matter is not resolved appropriately, I am prepared to escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and explore additional remedies. Please respond within the 30-day period required by law. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IA XXXX Re : CFPB Complaint Ref Nos. XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Ending XXXX XXXX Consumer : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX Whom XXXX XXXX XXXX, This letter is in response to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX my CFPB complaints referenced above. 

I respectfully dispute the continued reporting of the XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX and assert that the documentation provided does not satisfy the legal standards for full validation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), where applicable. 

XXXX XXXX claims to have provided validation ; however : No wet-ink signature or original signed contract has been provided. An online application without a physical or verifiable signature does not meet the burden of proof for establishing legal obligation or ownership of the alleged debt. 

The billing statements provided do not prove the debt is accurate, complete, or that I am responsible for it under the law. Statements alone are not validationthey are internal records that do not demonstrate the legal enforceability of the alleged debt. 

XXXX XXXX acknowledges the account is in cease-and-desist collection status, which contradicts continued aggressive credit reporting that negatively impacts my financial profile and creditworthiness. 

Furthermore, if the account is being reported as valid and accurate, I formally request a detailed breakdown of the balance, interest, fees, and any penalties applied to the account, including the calculation methodology. 

Under the FCRA, you are obligated to ensure that any item you furnish to a credit reporting agency is complete and accurate. If this information can not be proven with legally sufficient documentationincluding a signed agreementit must be removed from my credit file. Continuing to report unverifiable or incomplete information is a violation of FCRA and my consumer rights. 

Requested Resolution : I request the removal of this account from all consumer reporting agencies due to failure to provide sufficient legal validation. 

I request that a reinvestigation be opened and that XXXX XXXX be required to provide certified proof of the alleged debt, including but not limited to the original signed agreement. 

If the account is not removed, I request the CFPB to compel the furnisher to produce all legally required documents and cease reporting unverifiable accounts. 

Thank you for your continued attention to this matter. I am asserting my rights under the FCRA and request this account be fully investigated and removed if legal standards are not satisfied. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
