They did not do this. 

Also, they have violated my rights even more In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report The Credit bureaus stated my account was properly investigation, but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is not accurate.

Complaint:
Hello, I am reaching out to you because I have sent in disputes to each of the credit bureaus concerning them incorrectly reporting information about me. There are a multitude of accounts that are incorrect or dont even belong to me. It has been 60 days and still no reply, My letters have been not only been faxed, but also uploaded and mail. Yet and still nothing. I am fully aware that we are in the middle of a global pandemic but 60 days and no responses is unacceptable. At this point not only am I being ignored but the credit bureaus are taking advantage of an already difficult situation. If they do not have the manpower to process these requests they should not be reporting. It is quite unfair that as a consumer Im being dragged along.

Sub-issue: Report provided to employer without your written authorization

Complaint:
Subject : XXXX XXXX Account Dispute for Account Number : XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information reported on my credit file regarding Account Number XXXX. I have reviewed my credit reports from XXXX and Experian and have identified several significant inaccuracies and violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Title 15 of the United States Code ( USC ), and Section 604 in relation to the reporting of my medical information. 

Firstly, there is a discrepancy between the information reported by XXXX and Experian. XXXX indicates that the account is an installment contract, while Experian reports it as a medical bill. This inconsistency raises concerns about the accuracy and proper classification of the account. 

Furthermore, both XXXX and Experian have discrepancies in the reported account open date. XXXX and Experian state that the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. However, XXXX reports a balance of {$7200.00}, whereas Experian reports a balance of {$7200.00}. These discrepancies raise doubts about the accuracy and consistency of the reported information. 

Additionally, there is a discrepancy in the terms reported by XXXX and Experian. Experian states that the term limit is 60 months, while XXXX reports a term limit of 0. This inconsistency further questions the accuracy of the reported information. 

Moreover, Experian reports a past due balance of {$5200.00}, whereas XXXX states a past due balance of {$5100.00}. These discrepancies in the reported past due balances cast doubt on the accuracy and integrity of the reported information. 

Furthermore, there are inconsistencies in the last report dates provided by Experian and XXXX. Experian reports a last report date of XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX states a last report date of XX/XX/XXXX. These differences raise concerns about the timeliness and accuracy of the reported information. 

In addition to the aforementioned inaccuracies, it is important to note that the reporting of medical information without my authorization is a violation of my rights under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ). I did not provide consent for my medical information to be shared, and the inclusion of medical information in my credit file is a breach of privacy. 

I am exercising my rights under the FCRA, USC Section 1681, and Section 604, which require accurate and fair reporting of consumer information. I request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies and violations, as well as the immediate removal of the disputed account from my credit reports.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
Dear Truist Bank and XXXX XXXX, I am writing to express my concern and seek immediate resolution regarding an ongoing issue with Truist Bank, specifically involving a late payment report that contradicts consumer protection laws. Despite my attempts to resolve this matter directly with Truist Bank, I have encountered significant obstacles that necessitate this formal complaint. 

Firstly, the Client Resolution Specialist assigned to my case, XXXX XXXX, has not been cooperative. Despite my repeated efforts, including at least a dozen phone calls, XXXX XXXX has consistently failed to return my calls or provide the necessary assistance. Furthermore, the communication with other agents has been unhelpful and, at times, has worsened the situation due to serious internal miscommunication issues over the past year. 

A critical point of contention is Truist Bank 's claim that I had access to the web portal during the loan modification process, which I did not. This miscommunication was a result of a system error on the bank 's end, an issue I have raised multiple times through emails and phone calls. This I believe is not an everyday occurrence with all your customers and in this case a negative personal experience and not a standard procedure. Yet Truist Bank keeps reporting this information due to a negative experience stemming from their web portal on my Credit report. Despite providing evidence, including screenshots, to demonstrate the technical fault with Truists website that led to the late payment, there has been a clear disregard for these facts by XXXX XXXX. 

This erroneous late payment reporting has unjustly affected my credit score and financial standing. It is crucial to note that the late payment report is not a reflection of my financial responsibility but a consequence of a fault within Truist Banks system. The lack of acknowledgment of this error and the subsequent negative impact on my credit report is a serious concern. 

I urge Truist Bank to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and rectify the late payment report accordingly. I also request that the credit bureaus take note of this dispute and consider the information provided in the evaluation of my credit report. 

I expect a prompt response and resolution to this issue. Your attention to this matter is not only crucial for correcting my credit report but also essential in upholding consumer rights and the integrity of credit reporting. 

I also humbly request that the CFPB to publish this description on consumerfinance.gov so that others can learn from my experience in this ongoing negative personal experience with the Bank. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
On approximately XX/XX/2022 I paid off my XXXX credit card and had zero utilization. At that time I had a credit score in the range of XXXX on all 3 bureaus. However, as soon as I paid my credit card off, XXXX informed the credit bureaus ( although it was after they had already completed an updated report to the bureaus at the end of my billing cycle on XX/XX/XXXX ). On approximately XX/XX/XXXX, and again on XX/XX/XXXX, my scores on ALL of the bureaus dropped between XXXX XXXX points and the reason given was because I had a zero utilization rate on XXXX of my credit cards. I have a mortgage, car note, credit cards and other mixes of credit that I have been paying timely and often more than is requiredyet the credit bureaus and their scoring algorithms have punished me for paying off a card that was subsequently given an automatic limit increase. So, now my score has been damaged all because I paid my credit card down to zero. I didnt close the accountI just paid it off. The bureaus wouldnt give me any other help or explanation other than to read my credit report thoroughlywhich I do on a weekly basis, so I didnt need them to offer that useless advice. Subsequently, I decided to increase my utilization rate to 3 percent in hopes that the new utilization would increase my scorebut NOit dropped it an additional 2 points, so Im absolutely and totally confused as to how the credit bureaus and scoring algorithms can drop a consumers scores when NOTHING changed on their credit history other than paying off the card. This makes absolutely no sense to me and it is as though the bureaus and their scoring algorithms are intentionally vague and convoluted in order to keep customers in debt. According to everything I have read, my score should not have decreased for paying in a timely manner, especially when there were no other factors involved. It is criminal how the credit bureaus and scoring algorithms are allowed to exploit consumers to keep them in bondage and paying outlandish interest rates.
