Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ)

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: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (NC)

In XX/XX/2022 I paid my account balance to XXXX. Because I was making an early payment I attempted to cancel the upcoming autopayment. I thought it would only cancel the upcoming payment and leave the autopay arrangement in place. In doing so it cancelled the entire autopay arrangement, in which I was unaware. In XXXX of 2022 I made a small purchase on XXXX and put the charge on my account. Thinking my autopay would kick back in. It did not and I was alerted in XXXX that my score had dropped due to a missed payment due to Barclays. I called to inquire why autopay did not take care of the monthly payment due and was informed it had been cancelled. It was then I was told, I should not have cancelled the autopay, that it would not have taken the additional money out if the balance was XXXX. Okay, lesson learned. The rep refunded my late payment and told me to write a letter to the dispute department to see if they could change the information sent to the credit bureau in light of the misunderstanding. I did just that and still have yet to receive a direct response from them concerning the matter. Funny thing is I paid the small balance in full a few days later and earlier than the due date. I left the autopay in place ( as I was instructed I should do ) and guess what? When my due date came along, they charged my account anyway, despite the fact I had a XXXX balance. HMMM!!! To top it off, they decreased my credit limit yet affecting my credit score once again. I felt XXXX valued. As a loyal Barclay 's member, who always pays on time and stays well below my credit limit, this was as isolated incident and XXXX due to an honest misunderstanding. I called yet again to understand why my limit would have been lowered because of this isolated incident and was informed it was because I had been delinquent for XXXX  months ( untrue ) and had too many derogatory marks on my credit report ( untrue ). Before they lowered my limit, my credit score was XXXX XXXX ( depending on which credit bureau XXXX I had a credit utilization rate below 19 % and I had no derogatory marks on my report. Besides this XXXX hiccup, my on time payment history was 100 % Does that sound like it warrants a decrease in credit limit. I'm not even upset that they have decreased my spending power, that's not a big deal. When it effects my credit score, that's a representation of my worthiness, my ability and willingness to pay my debts. A representation of me that they should not have the ability to affect or manipulate so easily. I am attaching several screen-prints of my credit score across several platforms. As you can see I am over diligent when it comes to staying on top of my credit score. The reason for the decrease in credit limit can't possibly be because of my credit history. Someone didn't do their homework.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (OR)

I was just made aware of a settlement that Wells Fargo received that is giving payments for various reasons, to people who were customers of this bank during the years of XXXX and XXXX. I was a customer during this timeframe and did experience some qualifying issues with them. It appears I would most likely be qualifying for the {$100.00} reimbursement option as it would have been issues experienced with my checking/savings accounts and debit card. Examples of issues experienced were being charged unlawfully from unknown sources for electric bills that to XXXX that had nothing to do with me as I didn't even have service with that company at the time. And then when I reported it I was denied compensation after their identity theft investigation failed me. I also experienced excessive overdraft fees that surpassed the bank 's posted rules regarding these fees and did not have them reversed when brought to bank 's attention. A number of other issues occured over the years I was banking with Wells Fargo, but hopefully you can help discifer everything from your end. I was referred to your company, being told you would assist in making contact with Wells Fargo concerning receiving the compensation owed from their recent settlement. Please let me know if there's any further info or details you may need, or anything I should do on my end to speed up or increase likelihood of success with this. 

Sincere thanks
