Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

Macys Amex charged a {$2.00} fee that was reported 30 days late. This has greatly harmed me. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX and I lost tons of points because of this fee that I had no clue I was being charged. I am never late. They upgraded my account to macys amex. They also just upgraded me to platinum. They encouraged me to go paperless billing so I was unaware about this {$2.00} fee that I acquired. I charged and paid off what they showed as full balance and never knew I was assessed this {$2.00} fee! A couple months later I charged again and paid off the balance again and unknowingly paid the {$2.00} fee that was assessed at that time. I recently got a notification from my credit bureau that I had received this 30 day late and tried to fix this with macys but they are not willing to help. This has been a very stressful situation. It has harmed my credit massively. I pay all my bills on time. I have been a very good cardholder with them and have never been late before or after. I never even received late notices from them regarding this issue. This is clearly bad communication on their part especially when I have been a loyal and responsible consumer to them. I am beside myself with such unfair treatment. I feel extremely manipulated and harmed by their company and I would like this 30 day late removed from all 3 of my credit reports. They obviously have XXXX problem harming their responsible customers. It was a {$2.00} balance not a {$200.00} or {$2000.00} balance. If I was aware I would have paid this immediately! I hope that this can be rectified and that they put better communication into place. I am losing sleep over this whole fiasco. Credit is not something I take for granted. This has harmed me beyond measure. I just hope this gets taken off all 3 credit bureaus.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I contacted Equifax concerning my credit report on their Myequifax website on the date of XX/XX/2023. 
The responsiblilty of accurate information being reported by Equifax is not being followed and is in clear violation of multiple sections of the FCRA. 

They are reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX  account # XXXX as the only account from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I actually have two more accounts that are reporting on XXXX and XXXX that are not reporting on Equifax. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and they stated that all acounts should be reporting on Equifax. 

The addition accounts not reporting from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX are : XXXX and account XXXX. 

If XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX are reporting three accounts to Equifax then three accounts should be on the report and match the remaining two reports from XXXX and XXXX since XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX reports to all three credit bueraus.

Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: BMO Bank, N.A. (IN)

I opened an account with BMO Harris Bank on XX/XX/XXXX using promo code XXXX. 
I decided to open this account for two reasons : it offered XXXX monthly maintenance fees, and a {$200.00} bonus payable approximately 120 days from account opening if the terms were met. 
The terms were : Have at least two direct deposits of any combination of a paycheck, pension payment, Social Security payment, or other government benefits payment of {$500.00} or more each electronically deposited into the account from an employer or outside agency within 90 days of opening. 
AND Have at least 10 debit card purchases made with your BMO Harris Bank Debit Mastercard post to your account within 90 days of account opening. 
I met both of these requirements in the first 90 days. 

I waited well past the 120 day mark, which would have been XX/XX/XXXX, to call into customer service to find out why my bonus had not been credited. 
I first emailed, but was told I had to call, so I called and spoke with a XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The call lasted approximately half an hour. XXXX put me on hold several times to speak to their marketing department. 

She explained that my deposits came through XXXX, which caused an issue. Their system was recognizing it as a transfer, not a deposit. I explained to XXXX that I do freelance work and that is how I get paid. My paycheck comes through XXXX, and that is my ONLY option for getting paid. 
Also, when I lived in Alabama several years ago, I opened a checking account with XXXX XXXX and they also offered a bonus at that time. I also did freelance work then and was paid through XXXX. I received their bonus with no problem. 

So XXXX stated she would forward that information on to Marketing and if they needed to verify my earnings, they would contact me. She told me bonuses are credited every Wednesday. Well, I did not receive the bonus last Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, or today, XX/XX/XXXX. No one from customer service has contacted me for additional information. 

I am not calling in again to waste another half hour on the phone and get no answers. 

If BMO is advertising a bonus, they should honor it. I met ALL the qualifications. 
If BMO does not count funds deposited from XXXX as a qualifying deposit, they should mention this in their terms and conditions for the offer. As this is not explicitly stated in the terms, I expect this bonus to be honored. Thank you.

I have been disputing this account for a few months now and havent received anything concrete to keep it on my credit file. This is a violation of my rights. I do not believe the credit bureaus have been throughly looking into my disputes. I have attached my dispute letters that include, XXXX XXXX compliance data as well as consumer law challenges under the Fair Credit Reporting Act!

I am reaching out to the CFPB today because I am hoping that you will be able to get me some real answers and have my best interest at heart because the credit bureaus obviously dont!

XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, Spoke with XXXX he stated I was 3 months behind. I previously applied for a 3 month deferment back in XXXX of XXXX. I was then told I was assessed fees and my deferrment was approved back in XXXX of XXXX. I waited to be called back by a supervisor named XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX who advised my late fee of XXXX, then XXXX, then XXXX is what caused the late payment credit report. I asked why did no one call me, or send something in the mail if there was a past due balance? XXXX stated his company is not obligated to call anyone and if they do it is as a courtesy and I should read my contract. I asked why is there an account solutions department that extends this courtesy to other customers but not me when I expressed I was experiencing a financial hardship? XXXX again referred me to my contract. 

I am disputing the credit report for {$29.00} based on that XXXX never advised me of a past due balance, although they do for other consumers with past due balance, this is not Fair Treatment.

Company: HEAD MERCANTILE CO., INC. (MS)

I disputed an invalid collections placed on my credit report with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX online. XXXX and XXXX removed the collections account from my credit report within days. It took XXXX approximately 30 days to return a decision that the collections account was verified to be mine. 

I reached out to the collections agency through the phone number listed on my XXXX account. I told them that I needed proof of account ( original agreement ) for a collections that they placed on my credit report. They asked me my name which I provided. They then asked me if my dob was XXXX, which it is not even within 10 years of my dob. They then asked me for my address. They told me that they did not have an account associated to me. 

I created a new dispute with XXXX for the same collections account. This time I also called to speak to a representative. I let them know that I had not done any business with XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( the original creditor ) and that the collections account was not mine. First I was told I would have to wait for the 30 days again. I told the young man that it was not good enough and told him how I had contacted the collections agency. He then told me that I needed to prove that the account was not mine. I told him that it is impossible to prove a negative and that the creditor is responsible to prove that the debt is mine and that they are supposed to validate that information. I asked for a supervisor ( operator id XXXX  ) and told him the same story as before. He too refused to help me so I asked for his manager. I was transferred to XXXX ( XXXX ) in the Consumer Affairs department who refused to assist as well. I asked again for a manager. I asked for verification of the debt that they had been provided in the validation of the original dispute. I was told they do not provide to the consumer. He told me to contact the creditor. I told him how I had already done so and they could not locate a debt that matched me. The XXXX operator then told me to get the creditor to provide a letter saying that I dont owe them anything. I told him it is the creditors responsibility to prove I do owe and not for me to prove that I dont. I then asked for information on how to contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He told me I would have to XXXX it. I also asked if the call had been recorded and was told it was. I asked for a copy or transcript and was refused.
