Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL
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: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Despite the previous written request, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non complying with the FCRA. Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
on XX/XX/18 from approximately XXXX XXXX to approximately XXXX XXXX I was repeatedly emailed, called, and texted by numerous employees of American Express regarding my account. I spoke with at least 5 individuals none of whom would provide me with a clear and concise explanation of their reasons for contacting me. Each individual asked me multiple questions over and over again only to transfer me to others who repeated the same questions looking for more and more information. In short I provided my name, credit card number, address, pin number, social security number, telephone numbers, and other information over and over again without learning why they were questioning me. I spoke with a manager named XXXX XXXX ( call # 3 or 4 ) who transferred me to a representative named XXXX who refused to provide her full name for this complaint. When I asked for her full name she hung up on me. Since XX/XX/18 to today I and my wife have received emails and phone message to call American Express that provide no way to respond except by contacting a general customer service which is what led to this complaint in the first place. Apparently American Express feels they can bully senior citizens with these tactics. I have been a cardholder with this firm for XXXX years which breaks down to at least XXXX   monthly bills paid in advance of due date. Never in XXXX years have I failed to pay a bill on time in full.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I mobile deposited a paycheck to a new Capital One Bank account. I then called customer service to inquire about a hold the online system placed. I spoke to an individual who eventually called the issuing bank and verified the check was valid and the funds were available. I was told at that time that the hold would release the same day and the funds would become available. I waited until XX/XX/2023 and the funds were not available. I once again called Capital One Bank and was eventually transferred to a manager. The manager informed me the department that could release the hold was not in the office and i would need to call on XX/XX/2023 to speak to someone in that department. I asked the manager at that time if the department would be open on a holiday and was told yes they would. I called the direct number on XX/XX/2023 and the recording stated they were not open. I immediately called the customer service department and eventually spoke to a manager who repeatedly refused to provide any assistance and eventually hung up the call.

Complaint:
On or about XX/XX/XXXX, TRANSUNION reported several late payments marked as past due on several accounts reporting on consumer 's TRANSUNION account. One of the accounts is XXXX ( XXXX ). Its reflecting late payments for the months XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I've already contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) in regards to the late payments, in which I submitted a good will complaint via phone to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to update the accuracy of the account, and to update the late payments to reflect paid on time. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX refunded consumer of all late fees, but the account still has not been updated to reflect accurate and " PAID ON TIME ''. This inaccuracy is affecting consumer 's credit worthiness and fairness of reporting per FDCPA and FCRA standards of reporting and accuracy. TRANSUNION is obligated to report compliantly and to 100 % truth, correctness, completeness, timeliness, and documented irrefutable proof of ownership and responsibility of any allegations of adverse aspects to an account or of a derogatory account in and of itself. TRANSUNION knows an account CAN NOT report 60,90 days prior to 30. I have already informed TRANSUNION that there is inaccurate reporting on THIS ACCOUNT. The other inaccurate account that's reporting on consumer 's report is XXXX ( XXXX ). This account is reporting inaccurate, consumer reached out to XXXX in regards to the inaccuracies of late payments being reported for XX/XX/XXXX, this XXXX account has always been in deferment, so there should never be any late payments reflecting on consumer 's credit history for any and all XXXX accounts. Per the XXXX XXXX data formatted standards of legal reporting of consumer accounts and profile history and per the Fair Credit reporting act, namely section 609 a1A, it is in CLARITY that TRANSUNION is MANDATED to retain COMPLIANCE at all times, particularly upon notification by an infringed consumer that TRANSUNION is deficient of its requisites to report adequately and a challenge ( or dispute ) is lodged versus any data information previously NOT proven PHYSICALLY to be affirmed valid or is UNABLE to be demonstrated as true, accurate, complete, timely, and otherwise fully compliant to laws upon a documented declaration of concern by the consumer.

Complaint:
Approx. XXXX of XXXX, XXXX apparently changed the payment due date on my credit account with them from the XXXX to the XXXX of each month. If they did indeed actually send me a notice, I wasn't able to pick it out among all the constant legalese that they're sending me. For years, I've always sent my payment to them by the due date on the XXXX, but last month I noticed that I had been getting late charges on the account which prompted me to look into it and discover the date change. I immediately did an online chat with them where I explained the situation and was told that the charges would be removed, Yesterday ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I noticed that XXXX late fee from XX/XX/XXXX for {$29.00} had not been removed, so I did the online chat again and was told that only XXXX removal per year was allowed ( apparently they had missed this one ) and that they had properly informed me of the due date change. I submit that in the original chat session, I had been assured that all late charges that had been caused by this date change would be fully, not partially, removed.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have reached out to XXXX to let them know they were reporting incorrect payment for XX/XX/2019. They stated that they would update the credit bureaus to reflect no late payment for XX/XX/2019. I decided to check my reports due to an alert indicating XXXX being reinvestigated, only to find out that XXXX has made the dispute worst by continuously report incorrect information to both Experian and XXXX. I contacted both agencies and this is what they said to me : " Experian stated that they received an electronic notification back from XXXX indicating a 30-day late payment for XX/XX/2019 is correct. XXXX   stated that they received an electronic notification from XXXX indicating a 60-day late payment for XX/XX/2019 is correct but they did not provide any actual or physical supporting documentation to support their claim but stating account has been 30 to 60 day late and verified payment for XXXX is correct. '' XXXX has sent me documents to show that I was never late in XX/XX/2019, yet they are still reporting to the above credit bureaus that I am. I have sent those same documents to both credit bureaus to correct the XX/XX/2019 payment to reflect Ok- paid as agreed. They will not change it because they said it's the creditor ( XXXX ) responsibility to make the change. Per the Fair Credit Report Act, the creditor & credit bureau must report accurate and verifiable information. In this case, they both are clearly in violation of the FCRA Law and they have caused major damaged to my credit rating and score since XX/XX/2019 to current. 

Facts : Home was sold onXX/XX/19 and XXXX received full payoff as of XX/XX/2019. So, how can I be 30 or 60 days late for XX/XX/2019 when they received full payment on the loan with the  documents attached. By the way, 30 days late does not start until XX/XX/2019, and loan was paid off on XX/XX/2019..less than 30 or 60 days late? The fact of the matter is, they are reporting incorrect lates against me for XX/XX/2019 with Experian and XXXX. If this is not corrected in a timely matter, I will be seeking legal counsel for damages. 

Enclosures : Experian Credit Report for XXXX XXXX  Credit Report for XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2019 History to prove I was never late in XX/XX/2019 Closing Disclosure dated XX/XX/2019 from the sale of the home Escrow Refund Check dated XX/XX/19 P.S. How can I be 30 to 60 days late for XX/XX/2019 when the loan closed on XX/XX/2019 and the Cancellation Of Deed To Secure Debt dated XX/XX/2019 does not constitute a late payment when XXXX received all funds on XX/XX/2019.
