Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
When I went to the car dealership, I was informed that they would only run my credit once to assess my eligibility for a car loan. However, to my dismay, it became evident that they had run my credit multiple times without my consent. This action by the dealership raises concerns about their compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA is a federal law that regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information. It requires businesses to obtain consent before accessing an individual 's credit report and limits the number of times a credit inquiry can be made without permission. By running my credit multiple times without my consent, the dealership violated the FCRA 's provisions, which aim to protect consumers ' privacy and creditworthiness.

Complaint:
I am a co-signer on my son 's student loans that he has with XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX. He graduated in XXXX of XXXX and his payments will convert to principal and interest payments next month ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I received a billing statement dated XX/XX/XXXX with a total amount due of {$250.00} for one of his loans. The payment for XXXX should be {$98.00}, not {$250.00}. I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with customer service rep XXXX. She stated that they had an error in their system and sent out incorrect billing statements to their borrowers. She stated that the statement I received showed the payment due for XXXX AND XXXX but that I only needed to pay {$98.00} for XXXXXXXX XXXX payment. I asked her if they would be sending out a corrected statement because I was not comfortable shorting the payment due that was on my statement with concerns it might affect my credit. She said that XXXX XXXX would not be sending out corrected billing statements and that is how they are dealing with everyone that received an incorrect statement. She stated that I was incorrectly billed for 57 billing days instead of 30 billing days.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
I have two American Express credit card accounts which ending number are XXXX and XXXX. 
I always pay both accounts on time in the statement balance full amounts to avoid any interest charges by one check with the note " This check is to pay two accounts '' along with 2 payment stubs. 
In this case, XXXX statements, the account # XXXX had the balance of {$99.00} and the account # XXXX had the balance of {$23.00} {$99.00} + {$23.00} = {$120.00} So, I arranged the payment check in the amount of {$120.00} along with the note " This check is to pay two accounts '' as usual. 
The issue started when their staff did not apply the {$23.00} payment to the account # XXXX. 
Even they have issued the {$23.00} refund back to me 4 months later, but they still wanted to rob me by first putting the {$100.00} interest charge onto the account in XXXX and then putting another {$300.00} in XXXX. 
That's mean {$100.00} + {$300.00} = {$400.00} interest charges out of the just as little statement balance as {$23.00} of which later has been proven that because it was their fault of applying the {$23.00} to the wrong account.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have been trying since XXXX to get my XXXX XXXX Card Services ( Visa account ) added to my Trans Union Credit Report. Both XXXX  and XXXX have included it correctly on their reports. In fact, their entire reports are correct. I have 3 letters from XXXX XXXX  showing that they have contacted Trans Union regarding this matter. NOTHING EVER HAPPENS! Year after year I request a new report and Trans Union sends one. However, My XXXX 's account is NEVER ADDED. Trans Union is also missing my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account. I have not taken up that issue, since the problem has been going on since only XXXX. If I can't get the XXXX XXXX account corrected in eight ( 8 ) years, what chance do I have in getting a somewhat more complicated ( more paperwork needed ) issue completed in a mere four ( 4 ) years. I'm almost XXXX years old. I back-off from this issue every so often because I lose faith in the hope of actually getting it completed. My scores are fine, but I'd like the agencies to ALL reflect my accounts accurately. Is that too much to expect? Please tell me what I can do about this issue. Thank you in advance for your help.

Complaint:
I can't provide exact dates because I have been trying to get this matter settled with the Department of Education, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ), as well as XXXX XXXX ( chairman ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX Authority, for many years. As they refuse to verify and/or validate the debt properly and in accordance to federal law, therefore I am submitting this complaint. I have a problem with their legal characteristic by nature, as they have not given equitable relief. 

I am also a XXXX Veteran. I am submitting two separate XXXX XXXX ( documentation ) for proof and the account should be XXXX. This firm has been unlawfully and illegally trying to collect on monies already prepaid pursuant to HJR-192 of XX/XX/1933. Additionally pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3123 the interest and public debt is the obligation of the United States. I must also report that it has been past 7 years and this firm is still continuing to report false information on the report. 

I have fully investigated my rights in this matter. Under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXX v XXXX ( Mo ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. I have copies of the certified letters and dates prepared to bring to court. Also, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, these disputed items may not appear on my credit report if they can not be supported by any evidence ( which they keep reporting illegally ). As a result of these blatantly reckless, wanton and intentional acts, I have suffered and continue to suffer general and specific damages.
