Complaint:
I have a late payment on my credit report from American Express. I've reached out to the creditor to request validation of them sending me my statement 21 days before the due date and they have not responded. I have also reached out to the credit reporting agencies to have late payment removed as I have not given any instructions to furnish this information on my credit profile. It has been months and they have not responded. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, this creditor has violated my rights. Under 15 USC 1681 section 602 states I have the right to privacy. 15 USC 1681 section 604 A section 2 also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. Under 15 USC s 1666 B, a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

I was reported 30 days late on my Kohl 's card on XX/XX/2018. I had reason to believe that I always made my payments on time.

Complaint:
I have been disputing this account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX since XXXX. I have sent EQUIFAX an FTC REPORT BY FAX, MAIL as well as email to both equifax and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have explained to Equifax numerous times that this is not my debt and its a result of identity theft. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  has been removed from both XXXX and Equifax. Equifax removed it in XXXX and then placed it back on my consumer report. on XXXX XXXX I have a recording of an EQUIFAX CUSTOMER SERVICE REP telling me that she seen that Equifax has removed the item from my consumer report and then later had it placed back on my consumer report with the ftc, and police report they have on file. Equifax did a dispute and they said it came back verified I asked the rep who did they speak to? And why was I not notified that it was placed back on my consumer report. No one can give me any answers. I know for a fact that Equifax have 4 days to block and remove an account from a consumer report resulting from identity theft. 15 usc 1681c-2 The courts in Ohio stated that they did not provide information of court records and that the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence on the creditor end So I don't understand why it was even on the consumer report in the first place. I am aware that EQUIFAX has been selling my securities which is security fraud because they are acting as custodians and I did not give them that permission to act as such. SEE 18 USC 1348 securities and commodities fraud. I am pending litigation for this collection account which is frequently placed on my report and by law Equifax is to remove this item immediately and I am demanding removal immediately because it should have never been placed back onto my consumer report especially without my awareness of it. This is defaming my character and has been for 4 years now. I HAVE SENT ANOTHER FTC REPORT SO AGAIN THEY HAVE 4 DAYS TO REMOVE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. AND JUST IN CASE EQUIFAX CANT LIFE HERE IS THE FIRST FTC REPORT # XXXX BECAUSE EQUIFAX CONTINUES TO LIE AND GIVE FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT THEM NEVER RECEIVING THE FTC REPORT. THANKYOU

State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I called into Experian to dispute inaccurate information, remove past addresses, phone numbers, employers, etc. 
The first representative was incredibly unhelpful and violated second 605 and 609 of the FCRA by refusing to dispute inaccurate information, removing outdated information. 

The representative outright refused to dispute addresses and names. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, she outright refused to transfer me. Eventually I threatened a complaint with the CFPB if she refused to assist with removing the information and disputing inaccurate information and accounts on my credit report. 

At this time, per the FCRA pending legal action will be taken if this is not resolved. You can reach out to me via email or phone listed in my credit report. This is a direct violation of my consumer rights and the FCRA.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, opened new checking and savings account in response to {$300.00} bonus offer for {$5000.00} direct deposits. Having met the direct deposit condition on XX/XX/2022 and waited the required payout time, contacted company on XX/XX/2022, and was informed I did not qualify since I had a previous bonus for a Sofi XXXX account. However, I presented the screenshot of the terms at the time of account opening which did not preclude this during a chat session. Agent informs me the terms had not changed but I provided evidence that the terms were changed when the company extended the bonus offer on XX/XX/2022. Because my account was opened under the attached terms, my eligibility remains valid and I ask CFPB to enforce the {$300.00} bonus payment.
