XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX  I 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 delay due to technical error : I attempted to make the payment on time, but XXXX online payment system was down for several days. This technical issue prevented me from completing the payment within the required time frame. The payment was processed as soon as the system was back online, and therefore, the late payment entry is inaccurate. 
Evidence provided : I have attached bank statements and payment confirmation records, clearly showing that the delay was caused by a system error, and the payment was made promptly once the system was restored. This documentation demonstrates that the late payment was due to external circumstances beyond my control. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax 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

My account with those accounts was 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 those account 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. 


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

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (SC)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX South Carolina Laws Dear NAVY FCU, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and identity fraud laws, specifically South Carolina Code Section 16-13-490.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that NAVY FCU has already engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, South Carolina state law, specifically Section 34-11-110 of the South Carolina Code, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, identity fraud laws, such as South Carolina Code Section 16-13-490, underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for NAVY FCU to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws.

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that NAVY FCU immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Section 34-11-110 of the South Carolina Code. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and South Carolina state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting.

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that NAVY FCU will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (DC)

I have had a Banana Republic store card issued by Barclays for several years. Recently, I have been receiving multiple emails offering an " upgrade '' of the card to a XXXX. I have also received calls from Barclays offering this " upgrade. '' On every occasion I have declined that offer. On or about XXXX XXXX, 2024 I received an email informing me of the automatic " upgrade '' unless I want to opt-out. In that case, I was instructed to fill out an online form which I did. In fact, it was a very tedious form which I found unnecessary and frankly unacceptable. 

On XX/XX/scrub> 2024 I received a congratulations email saying that my " upgraded '' XXXX is on its way and should be received by XX/XX/year>2024. 

I immediately called Barclays customer service and was told that they are unable to convert the card back to the store credit card and my only option is to close this account and open a new one. 

This of course will have a double negative effect on my credit report : ( a ) the closure of an account ( one I never requested ), and ( b ) a new credit inquiry if I want to get back to having a store credit card. 

I spoke to a supervisor and he said he " agrees. '' But there was nothing further he could do. I find this disturbing and I am certain it violates federal law. if a customer explicitly says he does not want an " upgrade '' this must be honored. 

Further, Barclays is desperately trying to push their XXXX  by creating an " opt-out '' system. In fact, it should be an " opt-in '' where if a customer is interested, it should be the customer that takes affirmative action to request this " update. '' The reverse is very problematic and has a lot of similarities with the XXXX XXXX actions taken a few years ago which led to billions of dollars in fines.

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.
