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

My account with ( XXXX ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX 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 ( 8 MONTHS ) 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. 

( 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 XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I own a small amount of bitcoin currency ( approximately XXXX BTC ), and on XX/XX/XXXX, I transferred this amount to my Coinbase.com account 'vault '. On XX/XX/XXXX, ( and again on XXXX XXXX ) I tried withdrawing these funds from my Coinbase vault, but due to a bug or glitch in their website I am unable to do so. I have been emailing their support repeatedly for 3 weeks now with no success. My funds ( worth over {$1000.00} USD ) are stuck in their website, and I have not received any response from their Support since XX/XX/XXXX, despite sending them SEVEN ( 7 ) additional inquiries via email since that date. I have received a total of three ( 3 ) responses from their support, between the dates of XX/XX/XXXX, but these were completely automated and/or boilerplate responses that provided no help whatsoever. I have not received an update or even courtesy response in over two weeks. 

According to their website, the withdrawal from vault process requires two ( 2 ) approvals which are sent via email to the Primary and Secondary emails listed on the account. The problem or glitch in their website is that they have the SAME EMAIL listed for my primary & secondary email addresses ; However, I only receive a single approval email, and thus I am only able to provide a single approval instead of the two ( 2 )  approvals needed. This coupled with their lack of support is completely unacceptable. 

I do not know why they have my same email address listed for both primary & secondary email, nor why that is even possible, and there is no way to fix it or change either address when trying to do so through their website user interface. PLEASE HELP.

XXXX XXXX/XXXX XXXX reported a false late payment to the credit agencies and now they refuse to remove it. Unfortunately, I do not have proof of the check or date of occurrence as it was 3-4 years. My bank just does not allow me to go that far back. 

As I recall, I made a monthly payment to XXXX XXXX/XXXX  XXXX and mailed the check to the address found at the back of the statement. For some strange reason they could not locate my check. They later identified that it was received by another department. When the payment was finally transferred to the correct department, it was processed into the system as being received that day. Even though it was paid and recieved prior to the due date. 

This payment has lowered my credit score significantly and hurt my chance of obtaining school loans. I tried disputing the incorrect information with the crediting reporting agency. However, XXXX XXXX keeps declining, despite the fact that it was their fault the payment was late payment. Also, the company did not take into consideration my excellent payment history with them. They rather see good customers like me, credit, take a major hit. This is one of the reasons so many people are struggling is because credit card companies are quick to tarnish consumers credit, knowing that America runs on credit.

My first debit was an internal transaction for {$10.00} to pay for my check order on XX/XX/2015.This was just a few days after opening the account. The balance then was {$1900.00} When filing the descriptive list, my ex husband listed my bank account with the date of XX/XX/2015 and balance as {$1900.00} as his documented information on a sworn descriptive list. He is a banker who has a lot of friends who would give him this information. I believe someone pulled my information to give him. He was never given any authorization to access this account in any way.

XXXX with HomeBridge Financial Services delayed the closing for 15 days. We had asked from the very beginning if it was feasible to close this in 30 days he assured us it was, knowing the clients low credit score and harder qualification process. The week of closing he was requesting verification on renters history which should have been dealt with way earlier. He was not getting any response from the Rental office for days. After we found out the hang up was he never send them a Release from the tenant to request this information and they asked for it multiple times. It took the selling and buying agent to help with this and get him the information needed. At this point we just needed a day more to get it closed said XXXX. We had to extend the contract for another 2 weeks with a total of XXXX Extensions. Very unprofessional and he was not up front just leading us on thinking he can make it happen and then did not come through.

I believe that was true but not until the last 2 weeks of the process which was after we should have closed.

I received an offer by Citibank XX/XX/2015. The offer stated that if I opened a Citigold Checking account and met their requirements they would give me a signup offer of XXXX XXXX XXXX miles. I opened and funded the account and met their spending requirements and they will not honor their offer. I have in writing from Citi over their secure message service several messages from Citi confirming I qualified for the promotion, I met the spending requirements, and that they would be issuing the miles to my account XXXX XXXX. 

However, Friday they sent me a new letter telling me they were not honoring their end of the agreement. I advised them I have their confirmation in writing that I would receive the points, but they do n't care. This is a breach of contract at least and possibly even fraud. The reasoning they gave for me not getting the points is because they want proof I was targeted for this offer, but I do n't have the letter I initially received anymore. I threw it away after their reps confirmed in writing that I qualified.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (CA)

For months I have been trying to send money using the Paypal site. 
Their site states that you can send monies to friends and family using your bank account at no charge. The site does n't give me the option of sending the money from my checking account, instead it will only allow me to transfer money via my debit card or credit card thus charging me a fee of {$32.00} everytime I want to transfer money using their services. I have called to try to get this issue rectified on several occasions. Instead I am always told that there is a security measure on their system that they can not by-pass restricting my account from this feature. I feel that this can be viewed as a discriminatory practice as I have had my checking account for 15 years with no issues on my account and Paypal is charging my account a {$32.00} fee everytime I want to use their services, I am not being given the option of sending money at no cost as other consumers are able to. Why can they debit the money from the same account via debit and charge me {$32.00} but they can not draft the monies from the same account without charging me the fees?
