Ive had a loan with AES since XXXX. Ive always been on time with AES paying on time with no problems. In XXXX I had some financial Issues going on internally. My bank account weas locked due to a claim going on and a couple of my AES payments were sent back. With no notice or warning or information provided AES blocked my online access.

I have called AES and asked them if I could speak to financial management who blocked my account and they said there is no way i can talk to them at all to explain my situation. I can provide information to them why my account was blocked. AES has no desire and made no efforts in working with me to resolve this situation. When i am able to wait hours to get on the phone with AES I called and spoke with a representative, he told me i can only send in checks or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to AES. I was still suffering from financial issues and AES did not help in the payments I could make. I sent in a check when i could and AES did not put the money on the desired loan I previously spoke with a AES employee about. As a result my loan defaulted. AES also abuse customers with interest rates. My principal balance hasnt gone down at all. I have been paying interest for 5+ years.

Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services (VA)

I recently extended my Mercedes Benz Financial Lease from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. However, I am wondering why Mercedes Financial stopped reporting my installment loan to the XXXX credit reporting agencies. Because my XXXX is no longer being reported to the XXXX reporting agencies ; my credit score with all XXXX bureaus took a nose dive because there is no recent installment loan payment history. I have an active lease still with a lease maturity date of XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, the payments should be reported to the XXXX credit reporting agencies.

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

XXXX XXXXXXXX has taken adverse action against me, with forethought and malice, by furnishing inaccurate and knowingly false late payments to my consumer report without my lawful authority. This adverse action as defined under 12 CFR 1002.2 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( i ), which has the same definition as 15 U.S. Code 1691 ( d ) ( 6 ), has negatively affected my ability to extend credit and operate in commerce. Congress makes it clear that causing a restraint of trade or conspiring to cause a restraint of trade, pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1, is declared to be illegal to and carries both civil and criminal penalties. My right to privacy and my right to know where and how to direct the disclosure of my nonpublic information in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 6801 ( a ) of the Gramm-Leach Bliley Financial Protection Act, has been grossly violated. There is NO LAW that states that they are required to report derogatory items to a consumer credit report or file and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( 7 ) ( E ) very plainly and clearly states that. These companies do this anyways to coerce and extort you by threatening your financial reputation and causing undue strife and mental anguish preventing me from obtaining credit that it my right and regulated under Federal law!

I am aware that not excluding transactions between, I, the consumer, and the creditor is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ). The consumer reporting agencies were not exercising their grave responsibility in respect to impartiality when furnishing this false and misleading information to my consumer report. Reasonable procedures were not taken to ensure the accuracy of the information given by XXXX XXXX before furnishing it. This very clearly shows that the consumer reporting agencies have shown bias towards me because I never gave my lawful authority for any consumer reporting agency or XXXX XXXXXXXX to furnish any late payments to my consumer report. It is my undoubted belief that due to XXXX XXXX 's business relationship with the consumer reporting agencies, ( such as Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ), these CRAs literally parrot any information given to them as a means of coercing consumers to pay extra fees for debts that they allegedly owe. They have come up with an elaborate scheme to con consumers out of their hard earned money through fraudulent practices and not only is this literally extortion this appears to be racketeering and I intend to file criminal suit against ALL PARTIES involved in what transpired under the RICO act which is punishable by law up to 20 years. I'm a litigious consumer and have no problem exercising my rights to the fullest extent.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Dispute Stall Tactic Regarding Signed Power of Attorney To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint due to the consumer reporting agency refusing to process my recent disputes, despite having received a valid and signed Power of Attorney ( POA ) document authorizing my representative to act on my behalf. They have sent a stall letter stating that they will not proceed because they " do not believe the dispute came from me. '' This claim is inaccurate and disregards the POA provided. As a consumer, I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and it is unlawful for the credit reporting agency to coerce me into using their online or phone dispute options instead of honoring my submitted disputes. I respectfully request that the consumer reporting agency process my recent disputes as previously submitted this letter should be attached to my credit file as it has been acknowledged, but ignored. Attached are the following supporting documents : My government-issued ID and proof of address The signed Power of Attorney document Please investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to ensure my disputes are processed promptly.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MN)

I was getting ready for work this evening and was caught off guard by a notification on my phone saying that my checking and savings through Bank of America was below {$25.00}. Naturally, I frantically went to the application on my phone and looked at my account. It had somehow went negative and the entire balance of my account was on hold to be withdrawn. My next reaction was to call the bank and inquire because I had no idea what was going on, I spoke to someone on the general customer help line and instead of being helpful he keeps asking me if I am 'aware ' that my account has been overdrawn and accused me of over drafting on my account, which I clearly had not because earlier in the day my account was fine. So, in addition to having my entire balance being withdrawn I 'm negative for these alleged overdraft fees as well. He tells me to call their bank fraud hotline, which I did and the guy on the phone was only slightly more helpful he told me that the charge was a " garnishment '' and gave me some random phone number to call. At this point I 'm beyond frustrated and puzzled so I call this number not sure of who I 'm going to get on the other line, it turns out to be some sort of debt collection law firm. Of course I both call them leaving a message and send an e-mail telling them to contact me immediately. I explained the situation and how I have no idea who they are, what this is for, and that by draining my entire account I 'm left temporarily destitute. Anyhow, I did more researching and this 'garnishment ' apparently was from a credit card I stopped paying when I was XXXX years old, so this was 8 years ago. My question is what on earth do I do? Is there anything that can be done through my bank? What is my next step? I 've been doing a lot of reading and if there was a judgment made on my debt, I was n't aware of it or properly notified. If I were able to afford to pay off the debt I would have. I just graduated and have a large amount of student loans, not to mention all of my other monthly expenses. What about the statute of limitations, in my state it is 7 years and my last payment on that credit card was 8 years ago. This company is supposedly located in Missouri, XXXX XXXX XXXX and their statute of limitations in that state is 10 years. The law firm representing them is located in my city and state. Does this make a difference? What are my rights and what can I do to get myself out of this terrible situation and get my money back?

Company: LoanCare, LLC (OR)

To date I have not received satisfaction from the complaint I filed about XXXX XXXX, LoanCare LLC, XXXX and XXXX. Although I have filed disputes with all prior to filing a complaint with the CFPB. I have also filed twice with the CFPB complaint about the situation. The problem is that my mortgage is not being reported by the credit bureaus. LoanCare assured me they were reporting to the credit bureaus monthly. XXXX XXXX assures me they are reporting what the credit bureaus report to them. The credit bureaus don't even list my current mortgage! XXXX had it on their report but the amount owed was incorrect and they had not updated the information in over a year. The only result I got from all my disputes and complaints was that XXXX completely dropped my mortgage debt from their report. Even though it was the incorrect information at least it was showing on their report. When they dropped my mortgage from their report my credit score dropped! I have since written letters to all concerned and mailed them return receipt requested registered mail. I asked that the mortgage lender send written notification to the credit bureaus and send me a copy. My next complaint will have a copy of my most recent mortgage statement and hopefully the copy of the letter provided by my lender advising the credit bureaus of my mortgage debt.
