State: TX
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Firstly, I want to stress the vital importance of adhering to FCRA Section 602 ( 15 USC 1681 section 602a ), which underscores the duty of consumer reporting agencies to maintain fairness, impartiality, and an unwavering commitment to safeguarding consumer privacy. Additionally, I firmly assert my rights guaranteed under 15 USC 6801, which ensure that my personal information is protected by financial institutions acting as suppliers of data to credit agencies. I have expressed directly to these companies that I would not like my non-public information shared.

My primary concern revolves around the sharing of my information without explicit written consent. FCRA Section 604a ( 2 ) explicitly dictates that consumer reporting agencies are only authorized to provide reports upon receiving written instructions from the consumer. I do not believe I have given any consent to share my personal information and I hereby retract any implicit or verbal consent previously extended to entities like XXXX, XXXX, Transunion or other information furnishers to credit agencies. 

The reporting of adverse items without proper authorization is deeply troubling. According to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), it's explicitly prohibited to report adverse information without explicit permission. It seems this regulation might have been violated, necessitating immediate attention and corrective action. Evidence of multiple items that are marked derogatory. 

Moreover, the breaches of reporting laws outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681e cast significant doubts on reporting agencies ability to uphold reasonable procedures. These infractions severely undermine the trust and confidence that should be placed in the accuracy and integrity of reported information. 

Lastly, I formally exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services here with CFPB as witness, as provided by 12 CFR 1016.7. It's imperative that my opt-out request is promptly acknowledged and actioned upon with the immediate removal and deletion of all stored data involving XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX and XXXX XXXX.

Complaint:
RE : Loan Number XXXX I contacted my mortgage lender, Mr Cooper, in the month of XXXX requesting that they remove the 1 time 30 day mortgage late listed on my credit report for XX/XX/2023. 

I had an automatic payment set up with Mr. Cooper for 2 different mortgages. Mr Cooper separated the mortgages and transferred the above referenced mortage for servicing with another Company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), and then Mr. Cooper cancelled my automatic payment. 

My payment apparently was to start at the new Company in XX/XX/2023. 



Here is my reason for this complaint : Since my new payment was supposed to start XX/XX/2023 with another company, XXXXXXXX XXXX, Mr Cooper or XXXX should not have reported the 30 day late payment. The 60 day grace period allowed by LAW after any mortgage transfer was not applied to my mortgage. I reached out to Mr. cooper and XXXX and they failed to rectify this matter caused by no fault on my part. 



Please contact Mr Cooper and request them to remove the 1 time 30 day late payment from all the credit bureaus on the above referenced Loan thank you. 
XXXX XXXX

Citibank has put the the restriction on my credit privileges for now more than XXXX  years even after explaining that the merchant was rogue. 

And, Citibank still not ready to lift the restriction. 

But they have no issues allowing me to open a checking or savings account and make money out of it by lending the same money to their customer and ear higher interest on it. 

This is sheer case of profiling.

Pursuant 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) XXXX, XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and I'm the consumer and/or customer. As per 15 USC 1681e XXXX, XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. 

Also, in conformity with the FCRA customers have the right to make sure their nonpublic personal information is not shared according to title 15 USC 6801 which states " It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information.

The late payments were a result of an error made by the bank in sending statements to the wrong address. The bank has acknowledged this mistake and has agreed to update the accounts to " open/never late '' and remove the late payment markings.

Complaint:
I have been paying my balance in FULL, on or before the due date for months to avoid interest.

I have statements that show where, if I paid in full I was not going to be charged any interest and then random statements in between where some months they're charging interest even if it's paid in full. It makes no sense.

I am being charged a " daily interest rate '' on top of the 30 day APR interest rate. 

I had someone call me on XX/XX/XXXX from Comentity Bank ( Victoria Secret Card Services ) stating she see what's been happening and not to worry it will all be taken care of and then today. 

Then today XX/XX/XXXX, I had some guy from there calling me harassing, me being very rude, telling me she was wrong and he was told to call me and clear the issue up. That they charge interest even if you pay your balance in full. " Wow, I mean if you can't paid your balance of just {$130.00} ... '' " NO SIR, I HAVE PAID MY BALANCE... IN FULL, SO WHY ARE YOU CHARGING A LATE FEE ON INTEREST?? '' MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALL CHEKING YOUR STATEMENTS MONTHLY!!!
