XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian 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 XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 : According to my bank statements, the payment was made and processed on time. I have enclosed copies of the payment confirmation for your reference. 
Account Closed : The account in question had been closed before the reported late payment, and no charges should have been accrued during that time. Attached are documents showing the closure date. 
Clerical Error : There appears to be a clerical error in the reporting date. The date of the late payment does not align with my account history or payment records. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian 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. 

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

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX  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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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 fait
h pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

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

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

There are public records on my report that is not accurate or didnt happen. I requested them to validate the information and they responded they validated the information. I requested their method of validating the public records and they said they validated through the original provider which would be the court. I wrote the court and ask them about the bureau contacting them and they responded with letter stating they dont verify that way and if the bureaus have to verify what is put in public records through filing motions. So there is a descrepancy on my inquiry is being handled properly, clearly the court said they did not provide the information but Transunion is saying they did.

Company: LoanCare, LLC (NY)

on XX/XX/2023, I was 25 days late with XXXXXXXX XXXX payment when a person from loancare LLC called me and inquired about the XX/XX/XXXX payment. I immediately responded by saying I would make that payment by the XXXX of XXXX so as not to being default and reportable to credit bureas. He responded by saying that they were offering me a payment plan to help me catch up. I asked if there were any negative ramifications to accepting this plan, which he failed to answer. quite honestly, I got the feeling that it almost was a stupid question to ask so I didn't persue it. But, again, I did not get a response or the necessary information that I needed to make a decision, I, in no way, believed that they would deliberately push me into default while using the term " HELP ''. Several days later they sent me written terms of the payment plan which I signed still believing that they were offering to " help me catch up '' and not pushing me into a plan that caused me to go into default. Unfortunately my wifes and my credit rating have taken a huge hit. Now, after multiple attempts to correct this situation through them, I have decided to pursue this further with outside assistance. I had an interesting conversation with a representative today who said they don't offer payment plans unless you are two payments behind, that makes sense as you are already in default. By why did they deliberately push a plan on me that would cause me to go into default? I was not yet 30 days late and I had made a promise to pay before I was. It baffles me how they could deliberately withhold the information that I asked for and still repeatedly stand behind their actions. They hide behind vague language and written documention provided after it was too late. meanwhile it is affecting me personally and financially. I would warn anybody to be wary of Loancare as they have no problem pretending to be helping you, when they are in fact withholding either intentionally or not the information that you need to make an informed decision,

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (NY)

On XX/XX/2023, I was discharged after receiving hospital care at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX XXXX. As I was checking out, I had to pay my hospital bill, as well as my hospital cafe bill. These were done in two separate transactions. When it came time to pay the food bill, the total amount was XXXX XXXX XXXX ( about XXXX USD ). The hospital instead charged me in USD, charging nearly {$5000.00} in excess of the amount that I was supposed to be charged to my debit card. 

The hospital soon realized the mistake and promised to fix it. I also submitted a claim with my bank, M & T bank, about the fraudulent charge. I submitted the receipt, as well as emails and texts with the doctor in which he acknowledged the problem, and promised to help fix it. Ultimately, M & T bank denied my claim, as they said the hospital was telling them the charge was not fraudulent. This was in direct opposition to what I was told. The food bill for a hospital stay in XXXX being XXXX USD is not a possibility. Menu is attached to show the cost of food items- over a four day hospital stay I had accrued a bill of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, but doing the same in USd would've taken months, as all food options were very inexpensive. 

Despite saying they would help me, XXXX XXXX hospital has kept my nearly XXXX USD, claiming it is not a fraudulent charge. They have committed fraud against me and robbed me of a massive amount of money, and my bank is being no help in recovering the funds. 

M & T is claiming the XXXX USD charge was to pay my hospital bill. This is false, as you will see in my submitted evidence that I paid my hospital bill ( XXXX USD plus 3.5 % credit card fee ). I am also submitting credit card bill to show I paid the hospital medical bill on my credit card, and the debit charge was separate, and fraudulent. 

You will see in attached bill I paid my XXXX USD hospital bill ( XXXX + credit card processing fee ) on XX/XX/2023 via credit card at XXXX XXXX  local time. The fraudulent charge of XXXX occurred later, at XXXX ( XXXX XXXX  ). This was outside of hospital financial office operating hours, so it does not even make sense that this charge could've been for my hospital bill. 

See attached documents for these two separate charges to see why one was for the hospital bill, and the other a fraudulent charge at a not agreed upon amount.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with the interest rate
Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (MD)

I purchased an automobile in XXXX XXXX 2014 and was financed through XXXX XXXX where negative equity was rolled into the asking price of the new vehicle. As a result this inflated the cost of the vehicle to {$24000.00} with monthly payments of {$540.00}. Did not realize at the time of signing the impact the interest rates would have on the loan, especially in the event payment is late. I have experienced some hardship and had to either defer or pay late. In defering payments, I was charged up to half of the monthly payment just to defer payments. When looking at my last statement, after making 24 payments I still owe over {$20000.00} on a XXXX XXXX XXXX that currently values at {$9000.00}. the 24 payments paid ( + {$13000.00} ) does not include other fees paid. To add insult to injury, my last payment of {$540.00} shows that {$540.00} of it went to interest. 

This is killing me, and because of the negative equity in the now value of the car, I am unable to get out of this car/loan without an astronomical expense.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

The FCRA, as you are aware, is designed to protect the rights and privacy of consumers like myself. One of the fundamental provisions, outlined in 15 USC 1681 Section 602, guarantees my right to privacy. In accordance with this provision, I firmly believe that my financial information should be treated with the utmost confidentiality and accuracy.

Moreover, I draw your attention to 15 USC 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), which emphasizes that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish information related to any account without obtaining my written instructions. It is imperative that the accuracy and integrity of the information shared with creditors and lenders are maintained at all times, aligning with the principles of this provision.

Additionally, I would like to highlight the significance of 15 USC 1666b, which underscores that a creditor is not authorized to classify a payment on a credit card account, governed by an open end consumer credit plan, as late for any purpose without proper cause. This provision seeks to ensure fairness and transparency in the treatment of credit card payments, a vital aspect of maintaining an accurate credit history.
