Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Payday loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: SECURITY FINANCE CORP (LA)

On XX/XX/year> I went into Security Finance at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, LA and applied for an installment loan. After the approval process, I went to sign the contract via an electric device. The associate read over the various items of the contract and handed me the device when it was time for me to initial the specific line item. However, when the associate explained add-on insurances and services, she did not have me initial those specific agreements. The associate electronically initialed those agreements on my behalf without my permission. She also did not disclose that these items were optional. I did not agree to have these items added on : Single Life Insurance, Accidental and Health Insurance, Property Insurance and Involuntary Unemployment Insurance. Security Finance of Louisiana performed multiple consumer rights violations against me. Because of this, the contract associated with Account # XXXX is null and void due to multiple breaches of contract. I first contacted Security Finance about this issue on XX/XX/year> when I was looking through the contract for information related to my due date and interest rate. Once I noticed the optional add-ons that were added without my consent I contacted the local office that I took the loan out with. The representative told me that I did agree to these add-ons and she will have them removed. 

These add-ons were not removed, so I filed a complaint with CFPB. The company can simple review their cameras to verify my claims. I also have notarized statements from XXXX other customers of Security Finance that attest to this same situation happening to them. Security Finance has some very deceitful practices and I no longer wish to do business with this company. This company has breached the contract that I signed with them by way of Unauthorized Contract Modification and Failure to Disclose Optional Products. My consumer rights were severely violated and I will see to this not happening to anybody else!

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

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

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with 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!

Section 1681c-2 ) that you, the XXXX credit reporting agency , block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : The payment reported as late as XX/XX/XXXX was made on time, as evidenced by my bank statements and payment confirmations. Despite providing this information in my initial dispute, the error has not been corrected. 
Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), section 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ), creditors are required to provide clear and accurate information regarding the terms of the credit. If the late payment reported does not align with the terms initially agreed upon, it warrants removal. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX.
