Complaint:
XXXX reported me as late for XXXX and XX/XX/2023 for a missed payment in XXXX and that is incorrect 100 %. My personal account was overdrawn briefly due to another company and meanwhile nothing was able to come out of my account. XXXX, sent me a message stating that I missed a payment and I had 60days to pay before it is reported as late. I logged into the app and made a payment well before 30days to assure myself. It is XXXX and they have taken 6 payments out my account since XXXX meaning that XXXX was paid. Out of 6 payments why wasn't XXXX deducted from one of them or when I logged in to pay via app. I spoke with them, and they advised me it was nothing they could do to fix the mistake and to contact the bureaus. I did and Experian said the information was accurate, but it can't be because I have proof the payments came out my account. Please help me update these payments XXXX current and not late. 

15 USC 1682 Section 604 A states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without written instructions.

15 USC 166B also states a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any reason.

They not only improperly reported me, they also broke the law.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I established a checking account with U.S. Bank after receiving an invitation from their ads, accompanied by a {$400.00} new account promotion bonus code. Following the provided instructions, I initiated the initial deposit of {$100.00} and arranged for a direct deposit to meet the requirement of a total direct deposit of {$4000.00} within XXXX  days from the account opening date. The direct deposit originated from my workplace, where I was employed at XXXX XXXX XXXX  at that time. 

XX/XX/XXXX {$7800.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$2200.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$2200.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$2200.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$2400.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$2400.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$2400.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$5400.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$2400.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$2400.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$4000.00} Despite having a total direct deposit of {$36000.00} into my account, I did not receive the promised promotion bonus. I contacted the bank several times since XXXX, requesting an investigation into the matter. During each call, I had to clarify that my workplace was XXXX XXXX XXXX, causing my direct deposits to appear as XXXX rather than direct deposits in their system. The representative assured me that a case was created, but when I inquired about a case number, I was informed that only follow-up calls could track the status with no specific tracking number provided. 

The U.S. Bank neglected to address their issue, necessitating multiple follow-ups on my part. They failed to initiate an investigation to rectify the situation. Ive retained the account solely due to the promotional bonus because of the pending status, which also incurs a monthly maintenance fee. Despite my requests, the bank refused to correct the fee discrepancy. It appears the bank has engaged in misleading advertising, and I strongly suspect others may encounter similar issues.

Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.
