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

My account with EQUIFAX 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 in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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.

EQUIFAX 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!

" 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. ''

According to the FCRA 15 USC 1681 ( e ) ( b ), my credit report should display the maximum possible accuracy. However, this is not the case because this credit reporting agency is purposely violating my consumer 's right by displaying numerous inaccuracies for this account which is negatively affecting my creditworthiness. 

Attached is the proof of this consistent VIOLATION of my consumer 's right in which this Charged Off account is being reported as " CO '' in the payment history/summary consecutively for the last 6 months which is impossible because the account can ONLY be charged off ONCE since it is dormant, not month after month. Due to this reported inaccuracy, this illegally resets the statute of limitations which once again is a VIOLATION! 

Please delete this account immediately!

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (OH)

A deposit that was made in precisely the manner we were instructed by US Bank when the check is not written to me, the account holder. US Bank reversed the deposit of {$7200.00} claiming that it was not done so XXXX their procedures, which is a false statement as this is precisely how I deposited another check written to my wife, which she signed over to me and I deposited in precisely be same manner just days later. US Bank charged our account excessive overdraft fees forcing our account nearly {$500.00} negative. The account was able to be brought back into positive standing when my paycheck was deposited less the amount in overdraft. US Bank made no intentions to notify us that the deposit was returned and allowed transactions to post to the account and subsequently continued doing so when they returned the deposit. Since then, our balance has been further reduced and we are again in overdraft due to excessive overdraft fees of over {$200.00} in sum on top of the amount they allowed transactions to post to the account. This is firstly related to the reverse of the deposit we made and US Bank and their CEO have failed to address and or rectify the situation whatsoever. This violates the consumer trust and does little more than to create profits to this bank whereby any accounts that become overdrawn are subject to excessive penalties and fees charged multiple times in the same day. This has got to stop and my wife and I currently hold our mortgage, a credit card account and our checking account. This deposit would have helped us establish a savings account whereby we could manage our finances easier in light of the hardships we are already facing. As a former employee of US Bank, I am disgusted at the way the bank had handled and addressed the entire matter and the treatment we have recieved. I maintain the screenshots of the transactions showing all of this to be true and ask that US Bank be fined for their excessive overdraft penalties and return the entire sum of the current overdraft status and previous overdraft status to my account and allow me up to 90 days to open a new account with another financial institution. Whereby the only remaining accounts we will maintain is the credit card account and mortgage. We will no longer do our personal finances with US Bank and we will advise against them directly due to these actions. I am utterly disappointed in XXXX XXXX for allowing this bank to treat a military veteran, former employee and long time consumer in this manner and for allowing the bank to fail to live up to its advertisement of commitment to the consumer. A simple call in regard to this deposit would have quickly and easily allowed these actions to not occur.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Northstar Location Services, LLC (IN)

My student loans with XXXX XXXX went into default. Now Northstar Location Services took over payment. I set up {$250.00} a month. My husband and I just got a joint bank account a few months ago and now someone got into our account and retrieved our account numbers. As a precaution, they closed that account out and gave us a new account. I went to lunch and got back and had a missed call & voicemail on my cell phone, work phone, and they had called a department that takes incoming calls from our loan officers about our mortgage loans. So I had a co-worker messaging me about it. I called the lady back, her name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and told her I have told her more than once not to call my work phone. She said it was system generated and she had no control over it. I told her I never even gave them the place where I worked, let alone, my work phone number. I also told her we can not get those type of calls here, that my workplace does not allow it. Once again, she told me that she would remove it. I do not believe her when she tells me this as she had said it before. She said well the only time we call you at work is when there are non sufficient funds. I told her that I have always gotten back within the day if there are any issues and I do not care what the issue with my account is and calling my cell phone and leaving a voicemail was enough.
