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

My accounts 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 to be removed/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.

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!

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (WA)

I have excellent credit with a credit score over XXXX, no delinquencies, no current balances, as I pay off my balances each month, and yet every time I apply for an XXXX XXXX card -- which is through Barclay 's Bank -- I am denied. I have a XXXX Barclay 's card with an excellent history, so I sent an online secure message to Barclay 's, which they not only refuse to address, but also refuse to escalate the matter to the corporate office. I am sick and tired of being treated like garbage by these banks. They lie, cheat, and steal from loyal customers, which is completely inappropriate, especially with customers with as excellent payment records as I have. I deserve an explanation in writing as to why this keeps happening, and CFPB has a responsibility to see that these issues are addressed in writing, not just blow off complaints by merely sending a copy of the bank 's lame response to the complainant.

Company: Ray Klein, Inc. (OR)

On XX/XX/2016, I paid the full balance owed on a judgment that Ray Klein Inc in XXXX Oregon in the amount of {$630.00} had against myself. We are currently trying to buy a house, so we were paying off debts in order to bring our credit score up. It has been 13 days since the debt has been paid in full and the debt is still not showing that it has been satisfied and is still lingering as unsatisfied with the XXXX County Court System. Calls have been made by my mortgage broker to Ray Klein in order to have this debt removed from my credit report. Nothing has been changed and they have not disclosed when this will be shown as satisfied due to their constant excuses. When they want the debt paid, they harass without any problem, garnish wages, sue people without an attempt at even collecting on the debt, call them relentlessly and even call people at their place of employment. However, when it comes to showing that a debt has been paid in full and is satisfied, call them relentlessly and even call people at their place of employment. However, when it comes to showing that a debt has been paid in full and is satisfied, they drag their feet. The people my mortgage broker and my husband have spoken with know we are currently in the process of purchasing a house and at this point is feels like they are purposefully holding out on showing the debt as satisfied. They also failed to tell us that they had other debts they were holding besides the judgment until we were ready to pay the judgment in full, with the exception of a past medical bill from XXXX. So now we are still paying a debt through this shady company who failed to inform us of further debts owed with a high accrued interest balance. I want this issue corrected in a timely manner, which they have failed to do and feels they are purposefully holding out on.
