I am not sure if you are aware, but VyStar CU in XXXX, FL system has been down or not working for over a month now. They converted to a new system ( XXXX XXXX they purchased the company that they converted everyone 's ' account. Since then transactions have either been missing or unable to be identified on-line. 

I tried to access my account on multiple occasions, there is a waiting que for on-line. At one point, I was in line and my number was # XXXX, This took over 2hrs to get into their system and then it kicked me back out after waiting for over 2hrs. 

I called last week I believe it was Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX and ask that they send me via email a copy of my XX/XX/XXXX statement, because when I access it on-line only part of the month is listed. I can't even access their mobile app. even though their system says it is working... 

People have gone into the bank to get access to their account, people has waited in line over several hours or in drive through for hours... They keep telling everyone that it will be up and running soon, however to no avail.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MAY to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

This was false, I listed all accounts with inaccuracies being reported. Refer to the documents attached which shows proof of my complaint. I have not been given a fair and accurate investigation.

This includes the date last active, the open date, two year payment history, last payment date, and the date last reported. I feel like my rights was violated and i didn't receive a fair investigation. This has cause me so much hardship and stress.

I have not given these accounts written permission to furnish these accounts on my credit report.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I was a victim of fraudulent wire transfer on XX/XX/2022. The funds were transferred from BofA ( personal account ) to a fraudulent XXXX XXXX  account. The following day ( XX/XX/2022 ), the fraudulent activity was realized and appropriate actions were taken to retrieve the funds from BofA. A fraud claim was submitted with BofA and BofA contacted XXXX XXXX  to recall the wire transfer shortly after. Since then, the update in regards to the case has been minimal at best. BofA Analyst that handled my claim has yet to contact me when request was made multiple times. I, then, requested a call from a BofA supervisor to contact me, and that has yet to happen either. I have contact XXXX XXXX  multiple times and they can not give me any information as well. I feel my case has been stagnant and minimal effort is being placed to retrieve my funds. When I call the BofA Fraud department, I am always told that a request has been made to XXXX XXXX  to retrieve the funds but no other update can be provided. This is very frustrating as my life is, in essence, put on hold until this can be resolved. I feel the customer service provided from BofA is poor, at best. Your assistance in motivating BofA to resolve this matter would be much appreciated.

I am filing a formal complaint against the consumer reporting agencies for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and 15 USC 1681. The following account on my credit report was furnished without my permission : XXXX XXXX This is a violation of my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality, as outlined in 15 USC 1681 section 602 A. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2, states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section, no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any adverse item of information, except for records of convictions of crimes that are more than seven years old. As such, the account listed above should be deleted immediately.

I also found multiple billing errors on my credit report, which violates the United States Code Law ( TILA 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) billing error ). Specifically, 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) billing error ( 4 ) The creditors failure to reflect properly on a statement a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor. ( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement.

I demand to see proof from the creditor bank account that I was marked late due to non-payment, as I was not notified 21 days before with a statement. As a consumer, I have the right to have these errors corrected on my credit report, and the items below should be updated accordingly.

( *LATE PAYMENTS? ) If these accounts are not updated immediately, I will pursue monetary compensation for the violation of my rights in small claims court under 15 USC 1681n civil liability. I have already filed a complaint with the State Attorney Generals Office, Better Business Bureau, and Federal Trade Commission. 

Lastly, I did not authorize the following companies to access my credit report, and I suspect that these inquiries are fraudulent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I have contacted these companies and they have no proof that I authorized these inquiries or that there was a permissible purpose.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified inaccurate information that has been continuously verified as accurate by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, despite my previous disputes. This ongoing reporting of incorrect data violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( a ) and 623 ( a ), which mandate the removal of unverifiable or inaccurate information. 

I have attached evidence proving that the information in question is inaccurate, and the credit bureaus have failed to correct it. This is a clear violation of my consumer rights. I urge you to promptly investigate the attached proof and remove this inaccurate information from my credit report.
