Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 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 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I have a mortgage through House Hold finance Member of HSBC Group. I am wondering if I qualify for some kind of relief due to predatory lending practices? I have paid this company approximately {$110000.00} since XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. I still owe {$66000.00} for a property that is assessed at {$69000.00}. I have no equity built up so that I could refinance with another banking institution. No one will help me get away from this lender. The local branch office closed years ago. There is no one to contact any longer. I think the home office is in XXXX. I really do not know.The last time I spoke with someone, it took weeks because I had to use regular mail. The phone numbers on my statements only lead to menus and not a person to speak with. The web site is a joke of looped links that offer no help.They told me that I can not refinance with them any longer because there is no equity. ( No kidding! They absorbed it! ) Are you able to direct me on what to do? I do n't want to lose my home and am close to retirement ( XXXX years ).

I was relocated to XXXX by my company, and was issued benefits through a relocation company ( XXXX XXXX ) that included benefits with the sell of my current home. In XXXX 2015 I started the process to sell my home, I had to go through a number of inspection and repairs before my house was able to be placed on the market. Once under contract, paperwork would be done between the relocation company and myself.Then how it works is, I sell the house to them, and then the sell of the house would actually be between XXXX and the new buyer. I went under contract in XXXX, and was advised by the relocation company not to make the payment they would take care of everything. Apparently the first check sent to HSBC was received at the Dock according to the USPS but the payment never applied to the account. XXXX did a stop payment after 2-3 weeks and sent another check overnight. Which at that time, it was already late.Then there was a problem with the attorney and they had to get a new XXXX, which delayed us about a week or two. I signed the contract selling my home to XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and was issued a settlement check on XXXX/XXXX/2015 for the proceeds from my home. I was told I was done with the house, and even if it fell out of contract, I was no long responsible. The buyer did have trouble and it took longer to close, so XXXX was responsible for making the payments. XXXX was sending the checks for my mortgage payments. Unknown to me they made XXXX of these payments late. Worried about my credit, a called and spoke with a gentleman by the name of XXXX XXXX, to repeatly be told that my credit would n't be effected, the late fees would be reversed and even sent me a letter confirming our conversation. Later to find out my mortgage was report late for XXXX months. Since then, I have made a number of phone calls and sent contracts, settlement statements, the letter from XXXX, letter from XXXX accepting responsibility. I faxed papers, I have done everything to get this fixed and know one will help. This is effecting my credit, and now I am unable to obtain a new home loan based on the fresh mortgage lates reporting on my credit report.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (WA)

Firstmark Services is an unethical business that charges hidden fees and extorts money from their customers. They take out a huge " finder 's fee '' from the loan disbursement right off the bat. Also, if you go into deferment they add the balance to your principal without informing you. On a {$7500.00} loan, they added roughly {$6500.00} in " fees ''. As a very young college student desperate to finish school ( at XXXX XXXX college ), I naively decided to work with these people, and the Firstmark employees are the most incompetent people I have ever had the misfortune to communicate with. If you add up all my payments ( {$86.00} a month for ten years ) it more than finishes off the whole principal along with interest. No one at this " company '' has any idea what is going on, and when you call them out on their extremely unethical practices they can provide no explanation to why these hidden fees were not communicated. I am contacting my attorney and the XXXX regarding these unethical business practices.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (PA)

I cashed a check through the mobile checking app of my bank, Bank of America, on XXXX XXXX of 2015. This was a check written to me, for the sum of {$300.00}. The app recommended i keep the physical check for up to 30 days before destroying it, so I put the check into my filing cabinet. 

At some point my ex-roommate went into the filing cabinet and stole that check ( along with other things ). Unfortunately, i did not notice the check missing. A month after I moved, on XXXX XXXX, 2015, he cashed the check at his bank. After the check cleared, the person who wrote the check to me, noticed the funds deducted from her account, and mentioned it to me. I explained that I had cashed the check back in XX/XX/XXXX. She found that the check had been actually cashed twice, the second time, fraudulently. She called the bank. They investigated the matter, and decided to take the funds from my account. 

After many calls, explaining the situation, the bank has not put the money back into my bank account, ( and i suppose, not to take it from my ex-roommate, who stole the check ). The person who wrote the check and I, even made a 3-way call with the bank, explaining the situation, yet it did not make a difference in the banks decision. 

I have since started a complaint with the XXXX Police Department, who is regarding this as a criminal investigation, against my ex-roommate.

Regarding the XXXX XXXX accounts below, these were originally sent to my credit reports incorrectly. Last year after working with them for several months, we finally got the bills straightened out. Attached are letters showing our settlement and then their letters confirming they received payoff and would be removing the accounts from my credit reports. 
Last month, I noticed they were re-assigned new account numbers and resubmitted to the credit bureaus. I believe this is illegal. I believe it 's also illegal to put these back on my credit reports without notifying me in writing at least XXXX days in advance - which they did not do. I 've tried unsuccessfully to work with XXXX but they evidently have their records in a complete mess. 
Please have them re-remove these from my credit reports so that I do n't have to take this to court. 
I 'm also going to try attaching a copy of my XXXX 2015 credit report to prove I had clean credit before XXXX did this.

Once I went to the local branch, I was told since I am self employed and my direct deposits are n't from an employer, I would not be eligible for the promotion.

This does not make sense. The solicitation says " reoccurring direct deposits. '' Certainly I meet that requirement.

I told a representative that I do not dispute - that the dispute was incorrectly filed by a credit repair company.

I had XXXX late payment to XXXX XXXX Bank in XX/XX/XXXX. Since then XXXX have not had a late payment. I have had the card since XX/XX/XXXX. I did not havehave a late payment prior to XX/XX/XXXX. They put this account in the " con-sidered negative '' category and refuse to remove it from that categoryuntil XX/XX/XXXX.. .7 years of punishment for XXXX late payment. I contacted thebank and they said that they did not request the negative assessment. Icontacted the reporting agency and they refuse to adjust the time line. 
The punishment is onerous and unfair and I am unable to find a way toremove the negative connotation. I am not saying that I was not late thatone time -- I am not arguing about the validity of the " lateness '' but I amupset that I can not get the account re-classified. 7 years is way toolong to be punished for XXXX late payment.
