State: FL
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
My credit report does not include transactions or experiences. According to the U.S. code below. I dont understand why TransUnion XXXX XXXX and XXXX are reporting late payments to my consumer report, but it is clearly illegal to report transactions more specifically late payments to my consumer report. More specifically my XXXX ACCOUNTS and MANY OTHERS, Are being reported as late payments, which is clearly illegal as you are reporting transactions on my consumer report. They should say ok or paid as agreed. I want this reversed and changed immediately because my rights and the law have been violated. I am demanding that my consumer report be thoroughly investigated for all late payments from past to present and for them to be reversed, and shown as OK or paid as agreed. A consumer reporting agency does not have the authority or according to the U.S. law to report transactions or experiences. Furthermore : According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction ( d ) Consumer Report. 
( XXXX ) In general.The term consumer report means any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumers credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living which is used or expected to be used or collected in whole or in part for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing the consumers eligibility for U.S. Code 1681s-2-Responsibilities of furnishers of Information to consumer reporting agencies ( a ) Duty of furnishers Information to provide accurate Information 1 ) Prohibition ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) - EXCLUSIONS- Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term " consumer report '' does not include- ( A ) subject to section 1681s-3 of this title, any- ( i ) containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; These are the parameters according to U.S. law what a consumer report should actually contain. As you can see, there is nowhere where it says transactions should be included or even reported. Any transactions or experiences are to be excluded. 

I demand late payments to be removed from my consumer report and reversed to OK or paid as agreed. Any further violation of my personal consumer report will lead to prompt litigation. 

I demand all late payments, showing on my consumer report after a thorough investigation into this matter to be reversed. 

Thank You.

Complaint:
I received this email of denial at my email address of XXXX I did not apply for this loan. I have never heard of this company. I resent the fact that they say I applied for a loan and referenced my credit report. They are false advertising and targeting. Did they really run my credit? If not, why insinuate that they did? I am going to keep a close watch on my credit report. 

Is this an attempt to get me to call them? Very alarming.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I made a purchase of {$85.00} at iXXXX  on XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX with my credit card issued by Best buy and operated by CitiBank, then I realized that the merchant is a fraud who disguises themself as a legitimate seller. After I made the purchase I never received any follow-up email that contains the order number or acknowledgment of purchase. I went online and read reviews about this seller then I realized that the seller isn't real and that it is a website operated out of XXXX. I even discovered other websites this seller uses disguised as a real seller. This transaction happened in XXXX and since then I have notified my credit provider about the issue. I also tried to reach the seller but to no avail, even as of now I am yet to receive my order or response from the seller. My credit provider has refused to take this seriously, they keep sending me letters to write in response to my claim which I have done XXXX now. They sent me XXXX responses stating that I am responsible for the payment. Their reason in the letter states that " You did not identify disputed transaction. '' After several phone calls and letters, I still have that balance in my account, and they are yet to explain to me how I am responsible and what the response of the seller was if indeed they contacted the seller for their own explanation of the transaction.

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:
We filed bankruptcy on XX/XX/XXXX, and it was XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. We recently discovered that the dates were reporting incorrectly on all 3 credit bureaus. XXXX and XXXX fixed theirs easily. However, Equifax has not changed the incorrect information yet and I can not seem to get through to them. I have disputed 4 separate times, on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I have also spoken to them on the phone as well. I have spoken to XXXX XXXX who reports bankruptcy information to Equifax and they say the information is correct on their end and also they have sent a dispute on their end that did not fix the issue either. 

The " filing date '' is correct at XX/XX/XXXX. However, the " current disposition date '' and " date reported '' are incorrect at XX/XX/XXXX. When lenders pull our credit report, it pulls up the XX/XX/XXXX date which makes it look like we just filed bankruptcy instead of almost being 3 years since we filed. This has made it so we were unable to qualify for a new home loan and many other issues.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Hello, my current mortgage is showing as an installment loan on my credit report. After speaking with XXXX XXXX and my lender, they informed me this should be showing as a real estate loan. I originally took my mortgage out with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX and they sold it to Lakeview Loan Servicing a month later in XXXX of XXXX. On my XXXX credit report, it shows that XXXX reported it as a real estate loan, but once Lakeview took over, they reported it as an installment loan. An installment loan is a personal loan or a credit card. My mortgage is NOT an installment loan. This is hurting my credit and I need this fixed immediately. The co-mortgager, XXXX XXXX, is also having this same problem. Both of our credit reports show : Real Estate Loans- {$0.00} / Installment Loans - ~ {$430000.00}. To the credit bureaus, this looks like I just took a personal loan or have a credit card for this amount. I really need this fixed so my mortgage starts helping my credit instead of hurting it. If you need any additional information, please call me or email me. I can provide screen shots of my credit report showing this is being reported incorrectly. I did submit a claim through Lakeview Loan Servicing 's portal 2 weeks ago, and never received a call or email back. Thank you for your time.
