Consumer Complaint: IXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account information incorrect
Consumer Complaint: Subject : Urgent Request for Correction of Credit Report Information Dear XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX Customer Service, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention significant concerns regarding the accuracy of information on my credit report associated with my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon careful review, it has come to my attention that there are violations of federal laws, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ), 15 U.S.C. 1611 ( 1 ), 15 U.S. Code 1681n, and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2. These laws emphasize the importance of accurate reporting and fair practices in the credit industry. I am particularly concerned about the violation of 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ), which explicitly states that a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. This provision underscores the critical importance of ensuring that payments are not erroneously treated as late. The absence of a robust system to confirm whether I am receiving statements, whether in paper or electronic form, raises questions about compliance with this federal law. By failing to adopt reasonable procedures to verify the receipt of billing statements, there is a risk of treating payments as late, directly contradicting the mandate of 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ). Furthermore, the disregard for 15 U.S.C. 1611 ( 1 ), which prohibits the furnishing of false or inaccurate information, is troubling. The lack of a reliable verification process regarding the receipt of billing statements calls into question the accuracy of the information reported, especially concerning late payments. Considering the gravity of these violations under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, which addresses willful non-compliance with federal law, I request that immediate steps be taken to ensure the accuracy of information reported to consumer reporting agencies. I also draw your attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, which mandates furnishers of information to provide accurate and complete information. It is crucial that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX complies with these obligations to rectify any potential adverse impact on my credit history. In light of the concerns raised, I kindly request that my account status be promptly reviewed and updated to paid as agreed. I believe this corrective action is necessary to align with the aforementioned federal laws and to ensure the accurate representation of my payment history. Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial, and I trust that XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX will take the necessary steps to address and rectify any potential inaccuracies in my credit report. I appreciate your cooperation in resolving this matter promptly. Done in good faith.

Consumer Complaint: My information was sold and bought illegally because I was a victim of the XXXX XXXX. I want these items Deleted from my credit reports effective immediately. I am attaching proof that XXXX has admitted that I was in fact a victim of the data breach and XXXX has done nothing. Please help me delete these illegal accounts from my credit reports. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX open XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX open XX/XX/XXXX Furthermore I was affected by their illegal practices listed below A XXXX XXXX XXXX class action website has been established to inform consumers of a proposed {$550.00} XXXX settlement that they may qualify for. Though the website is live, the settlement is not accepting claims at this time. A judge has yet to approve the settlement deal. Top Class Actions will provide information on how to file a claim as soon as the details are available. The {$550.00} XXXX settlement would resolve a probe by 34 state attorneys general into allegations that XXXX issues unfair auto loans with excessive interest rates and other terms. These loans were allegedly offered to subprime consumers who were highly likely to default on the debts. XXXX profited by approving high-cost loans to disadvantaged auto buyers who were doomed from the start, California Attorney General XXXX XXXX said in a statement, according to U.S. News . This settlement should be a warning to the industry that we are committed to protecting consumers from abusive business practices. According to the multi-state investigation website, XXXX knew that some of their borrowers were at a high risk of default but turned a blind eye to these risks and exposed these borrowers to unnecessarily high levels of risk through high loan-to-value ratios, significant backend fees, and high payment-to-income ratios. XXXX has agreed to pay {$65.00} XXXX in restitution to the 34 states participating in the investigation. This restitution will compensate certain subprime borrowers who defaulted on XXXX XXXX XXXX between XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX. For XXXX XXXX XXXX borrowers who have not had their cars repossessed despite having the lowest quality loans, the company will reportedly allow them to keep their cars and waive any remaining loan balances. In total, these customers will be offered up to {$45.00} XXXX in loan forgiveness. Loan forgiveness will also be extended to other consumers, according to the XXXX XXXX XXXX settlement website. Certain defaulted consumers will have their deficiency balances waived by the company, with XXXX agreeing to provide up to {$430.00} XXXX in immediate loan forgiveness. XXXX XXXX were reportedly packaged into bonds by the company and sold to investors. In XXXX alone, the company issued {$8.00} XXXX of these bonds. This is reportedly twice as much as any other subprime auto loan lender. For loans that XXXX has sold, the company will attempt to buy these loans back under the settlement terms. Should the company successfully acquire the loans, they will provide additional deficiency waivers, according to the settlement website. Going forward, the settlement also requires XXXX to change their practices to better serve consumers. The loan company will be required to consider the borrowers full list of actual monthly debt obligations before extending a XXXX XXXX XXXX. Additionally, if a consumer has a negative residual income after considering these monthly obligations, XXXX will not extend financing. If XXXX XXXX default in the future, the company will reportedly be required to test these loans to see if the consumer had a negative residual income at the time of the financing origination. This test must account for basic living expenses, according to the settlement terms. Should the test reveal that the loan was unaffordable to the consumer and the borrower defaulted within a certain period of time, the loan must be forgiven by XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with money illustrationPreviously, XXXX allegedly allowed problematic third-party dealers, such as those offering vehicle service contracts, to waive documentation requirements for income and expenses. Going forward, the lender will reportedly stop allowing such exceptions and will be required to monitor dealers for income inflation, expense inflation and power booking. The final terms of the XXXX XXXX XXXX settlement requires the company to maintain fair policies and procedures for deferments, forbearances, modifications and other collection matters that all employees must follow. XXXX has reportedly been expecting to reach a settlement to resolve the XXXX multi-state probe. As a result, the lender has reportedly set aside funding and made changes in anticipation meaning that their earnings will not be impacted. Over the last several years, we have strengthened our risk management across the board improving our policies and procedures to identify and prevent dealer misconduct, and tightening standards to ensure affordability, XXXX said in a statement, according to XXXX XXXX The settlement was lead by Illinois Attorney General XXXX. Attorneys general from California, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington serve as the settlements executive committee. The following states attorneys general are also included in the settlement : Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
