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

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!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I am writing to formally dispute the collection account associated with XXXX XXXX  that has been reported on my credit file. The account number in question is XXXX XXXX - XXXX for {$1200.00}, and it has been listed on my credit report with TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX. 

This account pertains to a maintenance fee for a timeshare that I have already paid in full. The timeshare purchase itself was settled, and the maintenance fees, which are billed annually for the use of the property, were for services I did not utilize. It is inappropriate to charge and subsequently report these fees as collections when they are tied to a service I never used. 

It is apparent that XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX empowered the collection agency to use credit reporting as a XXXX XXXX to force payment, which is manipulative and unfair to consumers. My credit score, which was previously around XXXX, has dropped to XXXX because of this collection account, despite my prompt payment of the full amount as soon as I was notified. This substantial drop in my credit score is unwarranted and unjustified, particularly when the fees in question should not have been sent to collections in the first place. 

Furthermore, it is clear that the credit bureaus rely on simplistic algorithms and superficial first-level reporting, rather than conducting a thorough investigation into disputes like mine. The process unfairly favors merchants and collection agencies, and in this case, has allowed an illegitimate debt to harm my credit standing. The failure to properly investigate disputes, instead relying on automated systems, undermines the fairness of your services and puts consumers at a disadvantage. 

I respectfully request that you re-investigate this matter, remove the derogatory mark from my credit report, and ensure that such predatory practices by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  and their collection agency are not allowed to persist. 

If this issue is not resolved promptly and fairly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to regulatory agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

Bank of America extended {$50000.00} line of credit loan to borrower, who was co-trustee of a trust. Modest family home was the only trust asset. Title search was never done by bank, else they would have discovered in the Trust document AND paperwork recorded with XXXX County, CA, that financial transactions could not be made without the approval of BOTH trustees. This was a fraudulent loan done by B of A. Borrower, an XXXX who was n't married and had no children, died last year and his sister, the other co-trustee, is survivor trustee. She had no knowledge of the loan, never approved the loan, and never benefited from the loan. How the money was spent is unknown, and he had no assets. After repeated contacts with Bank of America ( since XX/XX/XXXX ), they have just informed her in XX/XX/XXXX that they will not forgive the loan, and are threatening her with foreclosure on the house. She lives in XXXX California, has very little money, and takes care of a XXXX grandson. She has no money to pay court fees, even if the attorney worked for free. {$50000.00} is a " fortune '' to her, while it 's " small change '' to Bank of America. I have ALL documents to prove this, and it 's a very straightforward issue. Bank of America had no legal right to extend this loan to an unauthorized borrower, and has no legal right to demand the innocent victim to pay it off, else lose her home.

I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.
