This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I am very distressed that you have STILL included the below information in my credit profile which is creating damaging effects on my good credit standing. No doubt the inclusion of this inaccurate information is a mistake on your part. The other credit reporting agencies found inaccuracies with the information listed and removed or updated without incident. You, however, seem to claim you've verified the accuracy of the information. I'm very confused. Can you please let me know how you verified this information? What methods you used, who you talked with at the company, and what day and time you talked to this person? All this information is needed for a case I'm building against all parties who are damaging my credit XXXX XXXXXXXX Date opened XX/XX/XXXX Balance $ XXXX Late Date XX/XX/XXXX

I received a response from Experian stating they verified an account as accurate. I looked at my credit report today XX/XX/year>, and still see incomplete and inaccurate information. According to the FCRA, whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual to whom the report relates. ( See Attached ) USBK Court - XXXX - Information is reporting inaccurate and is still not correct.

So I request a description of the reinvestigation and they did not provide it to me which is a violation of 15 USC 1681i7 and 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ).

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Non-sufficient funds and associated fees
Company: OCEANFIRST FINANCIAL CORP. (NJ)

I have a commercial account. I had previous overdrafts and corrected everything with the bank. I then told them to eliminate overdraft protections on the account and said, " If I don't have the money in the account, I'd rather just be embarrassed at the checkout. '' I do not remember their response, but had subsequent overdrafts. When I went to square up this 2nd time, I asked why did they pay my debts when I had no money and requested NO-OVERDRAFT protection. Bank personnel told me " I couldn't opt out of overdraft protection on a commercial account. '' They had no explanation for this policy. 

Is that legal? I tell them not to spend money I don't have, but they do and then charge me a fee and ongoing penalties for negative balances. 
Sounds like a form of extortion. 
For all this trouble, I could just open a credit line. I'm sure the interest would be much lower than the fees ( for a service I don't want and didn't request ). 

Thanks, XXXX

I attempted to unlock my credit with TransUnion after a lock had been put on my account back when I was a minor. I am no longer a minor, and did not receive any information as to why I was unable to run my credit until the 5th or 6th phone call I made. In between each call, I was attempting to receive a car loan and only found out that my credit was still locked when the bank notified me each time that they could still not run my credit. 

Each phone call I made, I was notified that my credit was unlocked and given different responses about what they did to fix the issue. The fixes they stated were that they verified my identity ( multiple times ) and removed the document from my file. 

Finally on the last phone call they notified me that my credit was suppressed ( this was the first time I had been notified of this ) and I would have to call a different support line, which was not available the day I called. I am still in the process of dealing with this issue, and have not successfully contacted the suppression support team. I will be calling them tomorrow to attempt to remediate the suppression. 

This issue has prevented me from being able to receive a car loan, and they have failed to convey the issue or why my credit is locked in an appropriate time frame. 

For reference, I made my first phone call to them weeks ago. I have been unable to receive any documentation showing what I have requested, or what they have changed on my file because they do not do emails.

My account wit these following companies were never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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.

These companies 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
