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

I have a standby cash account with XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX the bank reported to Credit bureaus about 30 day late payment when I was already paying a minimum amount on the account. This happened right when I applied for a loan. Either the bank or the credit Barreau is rushing to report this whenever I apply for finances and then remove it once I file a dispute. recently I spoke to the bank inquiring how the payments can affect my credit and they said they won't report it until its 30 days late so I have enough time to pay off and then yesterday when I tried to make a payment I saw a pop-up saying that I can make those payments in installments so I called the bank to get clarification on how it will affect my credit and they clearly mentioned that it wont be reflecting in my credit as its a hardship program they are offering but I saw that they reported it as late on the XXXX of XXXX right when I was shopping for a loan. It seems like the bank is doing a deceptive practice to ruin my finances. I have a history with them for various issues in the past. They also denied that the bank will offer a Foreign exchange in XX/XX/2022 when I I did exchange through them just in XX/XX/2022 and then I have to argue to let them exchange money and they spent exacly 1 hour to do it. They tried to send me to another agency which is located far away from my home. They also said I have to visit the bank 5 times in order to exchange XXXX ( which they said is a limit for one transaction ) but end up doing it in one transaction.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NY)

In XXXX I obtained a credit card from TD Bank. I had a previous credit card from another bank and I attempted to obtain a balance transfer. After explaining the request to TD Bank, they then sent the physical check with the balance to the wrong location, specifically the branch where I had opened the original card but not the company/address which actually receives payments. I have been trying to contact TD Credit Card Services for several days and no one actually picks up. There have been occasions where I have left my phone connected for a half hour to an hour and the usual " representatives are assisting other customers '' keeps replaying. I actually went to a TD Bank location in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX where a customer representative actually sent an e-mail and tried to call on my behalf and was unsuccessful. I have attempted to contact both TD Bank and their credit card unit on XXXX and have been unsuccessful in getting a response. If this is not resolved soon, it will affect my credit rating and ability to pay.

This is hurting my credit score which is very important to me. I know you will understand me in this situation this is becoming a frustration to me. I don't know what's happening to my credit report and I don't how you guys come up to this conclusion and report it on my credit report. This is very stressful for me because I always pay on time. Under 15 USC 1666b this billing error must be corrected because I always pay on time this is clearly a discrepancy on this account which clearly violates the 15 USC 1666 ( b ). Not only was I never late on this account, but according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the information furnisher is required to notify me of the insertion of negative listings. Since I have disputed the lates with the creditor, and you obviously " verified '' them, I am very curious as to what kinds of " records '' you may have for this alleged account. I am very confident that you are in violation of the ( FCRA ) and ( FCBA ) sections ( 1666, 1666a. 1666b., and 1666c. ) as stated in the law.

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.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
