XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX  XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Made on Time : My payments were made on time, as evidenced by my bank statements and payment confirmation records. These clearly indicate that both payments were processed well before the due dates, and these payments should not have been marked as late. 
Processing Delay at the Bank 's End : There was a delay in the internal processing of payments at XXXX. This caused the payments to be incorrectly flagged as late. After contacting XXXX  customer service, they acknowledged this delay. I have attached correspondence from XXXX confirming that the payments were processed late due to their internal issues, not my fault. 
System Error on Payment Posting : XXXX  payment system encountered an error during the posting of my payments, resulting in the payments being marked late. I provided screenshots and support tickets showing that there was a known system issue during the payment dates. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. I also request that the inaccurate late payment entries for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX be removed from my credit report immediately. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with balance transfer
Company: DISCOVER BANK (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I used the Discover online system to check the balance of my Discover balance transfer, which is due XX/XX/XXXX. I was unable to find the total on the website or on my statement. Because the information was not available online, I used the online email system to request my balance transfer remaining balance. The reason that I was checking is because since XX/XX/XXXX, my payments towards this balance transfer have been anywhere from {$1500.00} to {$5000.00} monthly. This was done to ensure that my total balance transfer was paid in full by the due date. I was expecting to be close to paying this off, if not having paid it off in full already. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Discover responded and informed me that only the minimal balance of my balance transfer was paid out of each {$1500.00} to {$5000.00} monthly payment. Many months, the minimal balance is only {$120.00}. If only the minimal balance is being applied to the transfer balance, this is a company practice that guarantees that I would not fulfill my obligation of paying off the balance transfer by XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I responded asking what I needed to do to be able to dictate that enough of my monthly payment was applied to my balance transfer to ensure that the balance was paid off in full by XX/XX/XXXX. Discover responded with the same canned text without answering my question. 

Of note, my balance transfer of {$10000.00} ( acquired XX/XX/XXXX ) has a remaining balance of {$5800.00}, despite my making {$20000.00} in payments since XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am filing this complaint for two reasons. I believe that Discover 's  practice of applying my payments to only the minimal balance of the balance transfer is deceptive and intended to trick the consumer into missing the deadline for full payment, which allows them to charge all of the interest that was previously withheld. My second reason is because Discover needs to be held responsible for correcting this process so that a less saavy consumer would not be taken advantage of. 

Of note, nowhere on the website or my statement does it display my balance transfer total as opposed to my total balance, which was why I contacted them in the first place. This is also intended to hide their deceptive practices and needs to be remedied.

In XXXX we built our home at XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX NC XXXX. The Bank required us to obtain a Flood Elevation Certificate which stated we were in Flood Zone A5 and we had to purchase flood insurance in the amount of {$390.00} paid at closing. 

In XXXX we received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that the Flood Maps had been re-evaluated and we were no longer required to hold a Flood Policy on our property. They were not foreplaced by the Bank. I contacted my agent at the time with XXXX XXXX. Our flood policy was not renewed and expired at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XXXX we refinanced our 2nd mortgage and obtained two Appraisals to accommodate the 2nd mortgage. Both appraisals indicated the home was located in Flood Zone X and included a FEMA Map dated XXXX but had different Flood Map numbers while the home was actually in Flood zone AE formerly A5. 

XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX flooded our home up to the roof. The home remained under water for about a week due to the waters receding slowly. Damage to the home is in excess of {$150.00}. 

Attached is all the supporting documentation.

Company: Mercury Technologies, Inc. (IL)

On XX/XX/XXXX. 2022, our business checking account was fraudulently deducted {$1300.00} by a business called XXXX XXXX XXXX, in California, allegedly using one of our team member 's virtual account numbers. We absolutely did not approve this transaction and were nowhere near the state of California on that date. Additionally, there is no historic log of any of our virtual accounts being accessed by us on that date ( i.e. no IP activity ). Given this apparent hacking of Mercury 's systems, we immediately contacted the bank to request a claim on this money. We have attempted to communicate this issue to Mercury Bank, however, we have been given the runaround that our domain emails aren't working, and that if we can not reply to their emails ( which never arrive ) then they will have to close our window to claim this money back. We have even sent them timestamped screenshots affirming that our emails and domain have always worked, and they refuse to communicate in alternative emails. How does one even use a virtual card number at a car repair shop, anyways? It has been a few months of trying to communicate with them, but they are, as of XX/XX/2022, no longer replying to our emails. This, to us, is a serious violation of our account integrity and we feel violated that our money was so brazenly stolen. Additionally, Mercury 's poor customer service has resulted in serious miscommunications, and in our eventual 'ghosting '. Please contact us to facilitate a resolution at XXXX ( or XXXX if you are still having troubles sending emails ). Thank you very much for any help you can provide in advance.

Company: AES/PHEAA (OH)

Hello, I recently logged into my account on myfedloan.org in attempt to payoff a few loans. The website is actually pretty intuitive and easy to navigate, and I was able to quickly identify how much my payoffs are. The site makes you select : payments & billing, loan payoff, selections of loans, payoff date ( to calculate interest ), then your banking info. So I did these steps on XX/XX/19 and the system advised me that the 3 accounts I wanted to payoff totaled {$7700.00}. I made the payment, and double checked they were in fact closed XXXX. It shows that I still owed a interest amount that previously showed when I selected payoff from XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted them, the lady helping me was nice, tried viewing my issue, but couldn't give me an answer as to why it generated additional interest that in their screen shows me I paid off in full. Her answer was " you must have paid only principle not interest '' I advised her and offered to walk her through my screens, their system does not allow you to pay only principle, furthermore the payment history screen shows that I did pay the interest that is reappearing in error. Clearly it would be foolish to pay some obscure amount of money ( {$7700.00} ) for no apparent reason. I know their system advised me that this amount would in fact pay the loans off completely, please help identify what is going on.
