Consumer complaint received 2024-09-11 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

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 "

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concern regarding the disputed accounts that continue to appear inaccurately on my credit report. On multiple occasions, I have raised these issues and requested thorough investigations into these inaccuracies. Despite my efforts, I have yet to receive any resolution or corrective action. 

These erroneous accounts are having a severe negative impact on my credit file, which has caused significant hardships in my ability to maintain financial stability. The continued presence of these inaccuracies is unjustly hindering my financial well-being and disrupting my daily life. 

I am therefore requesting a full and immediate investigation into each of the disputed accounts listed in my credit report. It is critical that all necessary steps be taken to correct and update my credit report without further delay. I trust that with your assistance, I will be able to restore the accuracy and integrity of my credit file. 

Please treat this matter with the utmost urgency. I would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and your cooperation in resolving it as soon as possible. 

Thank you in advance for your understanding and assistance.

Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had an introductory 0 % interest rate which ended in XXXX. I understood that it ended, but they were extremely unclear on how interest is charged, and I was misled to believe that I would be charged interest on my monthly payments, not a transaction each month for interest. I would have never got this card if I understood that they would charge me an actual interest transaction over taking the interest out of my monthly payments. I will never be able to pay off this card now as their minimum payments are less than what they are charging each month for interest. This is criminal what they've done to me, and I want this to be fixed where they only take interest off my monthly payments like every financial institution I've done business with in my life. I was conned by this credit card company that I though I could've trusted due to their affiliation with my bank XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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
