I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (KS)

Fraudulent charges from XXXX were made on my Citibank Sears Gold Mastercard. These {$14.00} charges began occurring in XXXX of 2018 and were turned into Citibank 's fraud investigation department. Three fraudulent XXXX charges of {$14.00} were made on this account totaling {$42.00}. It took about six months and numerous calls to finally learn that these charges had been deemed fraudulent and all associated interest and fees were to be removed from the account. Each time I called Citibank, I was assured the charges would be removed and the account would be cleared. However, the account has continued to accrue late fees and interest charges. After about 10 months, all charges and fees remained on my account and Citibank took steps to turn the charges they had deemed as fraudulent over to a collection agency. During my most recent call to Citibank I was informed that they could not make sense of the charges and would have to send the issue back to the investigations department for further review. It has been over a year and this issue is now in the hands of a collection agency and is negatively affecting my credit score.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be updated.

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 XXXX XXXX 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I understand that when a dealership applies for financing on behalf of a consumer, these inquiries may be viewed differently based on the timing of the applications. Specifically, I would like to clarify whether multiple hard inquiries made within a certain timeframe can be counted as a single inquiry, allowing for a more favorable impact on consumers ' credit scores. I applied with XXXX to finance a car and it was ran through multiple banks for a loan, now it is reflecting as multiple ( 6 ) hard inquiries on my credit report.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

To whom this may concern : I am filing this complaint against Synchrony Bank. A few months ago, two months and ten days to be exact, I sent Synchrony Bank a letter regarding a situation I have been suffering this year. It was a situation with a loan I obtained through Synchrony via XXXX in XXXX located at XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Near the end of XXXX I went to XXXX to purchase some home furniture. My representative was actually the store manager who goes by the name of XXXX. There will be a letter uploaded with this complaint which explains the specific details of my complaint. So as not to copy and paste everything which is on the letter, I will provide you the main points of this complaint. 

When I was debating on whether to purchase the furniture or not at XXXX XXXX, XXXX convinced me to purchase it by promising me 18 months no payments and no interest. That was what pushed me over the edge to go ahead and get financed through them or rather XXXX XXXX XXXX financing company. Everything seemed Ok until I received a call in mid XXXX telling me I am severely past due by Synchrony Bank. 
I ended up paying them their past due amount, but I have suffered considerable damage to my credit. That is not necessarily why am filing this complaint to Synchrony Bank. I am filing this complaint because I sent Synchrony Bank a letter asking them to consider my situation and asking them to forgive the late payments due to XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX willful attempt to deceive me for financial gain. I sent the request on XX/XX/XXXX. To this day I have not received a response from Synchrony Bank. 
Not only did I not receive a response from Synchrony bank in writing, I didn't receive one by phone either. 

Synchrony Bank has my phone number. They were able to call me when they were looking for money, but not to address my correspondence to them. They didn't even have the decency to send a generic or even a pre-generated letter after nearly two and a half months. I am very strongly considering a lawsuit against XXXX XXXX and XXXX at this point but I decided to notify you first just to give Synchrony Bank every opportunity to address this before I decide to go after them too.

This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

I contacted the court, and their response is enclosed. It is clear they do not report you or any credit bureau for that matter ; therefore, your initial verification of the item with the court was either an error or a lie.

Hi, We ( 3 adults ) were planning to travel to XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. So, we hired XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. After multiple mishaps ( not due to me ) they booked the ticket for cash. In between I checked my Chase online account and noticed series of charges were made by XXXX to the tune of {$9700.00}. So, I immediately E-mailed XXXX XXXX XXXX and they denied booking thru XXXX. So, I called Chase bank customer service number and lodged a complaint. The agent advised me to immediately deactivate my Chase card dispose off and issued me a new card. He also said he is turning over the case to fraud section pending investigation. 
On return from XXXX we were surprised to get a letter from Mr. XXXX and subsequently from MsXXXX XXXX, from fraud cell basically indicating that their investigation is complete and we are responsible for paying the {$7500.00} amount since we knew the travel site XXXX from based on our earlier transaction XXXX through the site. Later, on XX/XX/XXXX when we received our XXXX statement it indicated that X agency might have purchased these tickets ( which totals {$9700.00} ) but they also have fully reimbursed next day itself ( {$9800.00} ) specifically to my old card since destroyed. 
I have made multiple attempts to contact MsXXXX XXXX but to no luck. I even visited nearby Chase bank branch and they said only online person can help. Even, when I am able to get a person online he/she fails to understand my point of view and insists that I have to pay those charges. Initially, they were understanding and gave me a credit of around ~ {$2300.00}. But we booked 3 adult tickets. I am also XXXXXXXX XXXX and undergoing treatment at XXXX XXXX Hospital for my XXXX. As a last resort, I am writing to you to remove the charges {$4700.00} which has been already paid. Thank you for taking up my case. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX.
