Company: BB&T CORPORATION (GA)

I woke up on XX/XX/19 and had a notification from my bank about possible fraud. After looking at my account I was able to confirm that {$140.00} was withdrawn from my account at an ATM in a different state. When I contacted my bank to report the fraud they told me that I couldn't report fraud to them at this time. They asked me to call back and report the fraud after 3 business days. I called 3 times and finally they allowed me to report the fraud immediately after explaining to them my rights under Electronic Fund Transfer Act. BB & T was the bank. They did the same thing to me with a previous fraud and they failed to compensate me within the required time.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (KY)

For the past 2-3 weeks my Equifax account displays literally nothing except reports I bought for the other 2 bureaus ( XXXX and XXXX ). 

XX/XX/year>, I called customer support and was on hold for about an hour. I finally spoke to someone who was able to verify my identity over the phone, acknowledge the exact issue I was facing and escalated the issue and advised I would receive a response via email. 

Today XX/XX/year>, I called in to get an update only to be sent on a wild goose chase about mailing in documents. 

I have been through this process before and it was not pleasant. Going back and forth with regards to whether multiple mails I have sent have been received by Equifax.

I am paying for a service and I expect to receive said service especially when Equifax is the one with the problem. If Equifax mishandles my personal information due to glitches in their system, I expect Equifax to take full responsibility especially after taking payments from me every month. 

Right after I hanged up the call, I signed into the account again and there was a complete block ( attached ) stating I should reach out to customer support which was already very unhelpful. 

Don't play games with me because I won't hesitate to sue Equifax for mishandling my personal sensitive data and for breaking my online account and not wanting to take full liability it.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY)

Although I set up an auto payment arrangement with Navient 2018, they neglected to withdraw the payments from my account on two occasions. I cancelled the arrangement, and was ( and still am )  manually paying the loan on the first and fifteenth of each month ( from their website ). Even though payments are made regularly, Navient still continues to call and harass my mom ( who was a co-signer on the student loan ). I have asked them to stop calling, and my parents have as well. But they still continue to call. The harassment is extremely frustrating, and they have downright told me they will not stop calling.

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (NY)

I am being harassed by Credit Acceptance. I got a car loan with them. About 4 maybe 5 month ago I made arrangements to make payments because I was struggling to make it on time. The lady I talk to said that i owe XXXX and the car will be paid off. A little over a month ago I got a call from them saying That I owe XXXX. I ask how is that possible when I know I've been paying on the agreement I made. I just made my last payment this week and they are still calling me sometimes 10 times a day no exaggeration. I feel like they are lying to me, and trying to get more money from me knowing I've paid off my car. I need help so they would leave me alone.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

I contacted representatives from the following entities, Citibank and XXXX  XXXX XXXX. 

I received confirmation from both creditors that it would not face negative consequences due to COVID19. As you may be aware, NY was under quarantine for over 2 months which has prevented an steady flow of income. Both representative advised me that the only thing I should be aware of is that the balance would still accrue interest throughout the payment deferral. 

Unfortunately, these representatives did not stick to their word and now my credit has been impacted severely. If that was going to be the case, they should have CLEARLY advised that. I have accounts with other creditors who had advised me the same and there are no derogatory remarks on those accounts. 

As a resolution, I would like XXXX  XXXX XXXX and Citibank to remove any derogatory remarks from my credit report. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is absolutely necessary to report my credit information in a fair and accurate manner. Due to the misleading information provided by the creditors, I urge that this be implemented as soon as possible.

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!

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

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX. * Date of Late Payment : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by 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 : 1. The payment was made on time, as reflected in the attached bank statement, which shows that the payment was processed on XX/XX/XXXX, well before the due date. This suggests a clerical error in reporting the payment as late. 

2. Additionally, I have attached the payment confirmation receipt from XXXX, which clearly indicates that the payment was received and processed on time. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax 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 XXXX, 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 XXXX
