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

My account with EQUIFAX 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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. 


EQUIFAX 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

As a protected consumer under federal law, specifically the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am disputing several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. These inquiries appear on my report without my knowledge or consent, raising concerns about potential identity theft or a violation of my rights under the FCRA. According to FCRA Permissible Purposes ( Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ) it requires credit reporting agencies to have a " permissible purpose '' to provide your report. Unauthorized inquiries wouldn't fall under any permissible purpose. Remove these unauthorized inquiries immediately from my credit file.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

Upon filing of initial complaint regarding inaccuracies reported to credit bureaus on the balance and payment/owed amounts on closed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the company replied with further inaccuracies and incorrect reporting. XXXX claims my security deposit was applied to the balance on my card account along with a payment they processed with my bank for the amount of {$950.00} which would make the balance owed on the account {$950.00} plus the {$500.00} since both were processed the same day according to XXXX at an amount of {$1400.00} outstanding. If what they claim is true my account should have been left with a balance of {$950.00}, the amount returned unpaid by my bank but instead the balance XXXX claims still owed is the amount returned unpaid minus the XXXX security deposit. XXXX is incorrectly CONTINUING to report payments and balances on this account and blatantly disregarding banking regulations they're to adhere to. They have consistently falsely reported negative information on my credit reports and refuse to fix the incorrect information causing me extreme difficulty in acquiring adequate credit needed.

XX/XX/year> 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. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by 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 : Payment Was Made on Time : My records indicate that the payment in question was made on time. Attached are bank statements showing the transaction, confirming that the payment was processed before the due date. 
Inconsistent Reporting : The late payment is reported inconsistently across credit reporting agencies, as detailed in the attached summary of my TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports. 
Account Activity Discrepancy : The account in question has been consistently marked as current in other months. The alleged late payment does not align with my payment history, as confirmed by XXXX XXXX 's own billing statements, which are also attache 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 XXXX.

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (VA)

I am writing to file a complaint against Wells Fargo Bank regarding the unjust closure of my bank account, which I believe was done under the guise of compliance with the Patriot Act. I have been a long-standing, law-abiding customer for at least XXXX years, even before Wells Fargo acquired XXXX XXXX I was using a XXXX XXXX XXXX my primary mailing address while transitioning between housing arrangements, including a temporary stay in a hotel to save money while I XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was typically only home XXXX night a week. 

A few weeks before my account was closed, I received a letter from Wells Fargo notifying me that my use of a XXXX XXXX XXXX not a valid address, and that my account would be closed in 30 days. Since I had been out of town for work and couldnt access my mailbox immediately, I didnt see the letters until about XXXX weeks after they arrived. When I finally read them, I was shocked and felt blindsided. I promptly withdrew all of my funds and zeroed out my accounts to avoid any potential disruption, and my account was subsequently closed. 

While I understand the importance of complying with legal requirements, such as those outlined in the Patriot Act, I believe this policy is being applied too broadly, unfairly affecting individuals like myself who pose no risk to national security. It was deeply distressing to be treated as though I were a threat, simply because I used a XXXX XXXX while transitioning between living arrangements. This experience disrupted my financial life and created unnecessary stress, especially as I rely on my bank for my livelihood, just as my customers rely on me for theirs. 

I do not expect an apology. I am submitting this complaint to highlight an issue that affects many others. My case is not isolated, and Wells Fargo is not the only bank doing this. After reviewing numerous complaints on the CFPBs website and reading about this in the news, I have discovered that other consumers, including prominent public figures and well-respected professionals, have faced similar actions. In some cases, entire families are being denied access to financial services, which is a troubling escalation. This has prompted me to speak up and to file a complaint as well.

UUC 3-104 tell us how to use a negotiable instrument,31 USC 5118. 1681 2a they arent supposed to report transactions 15 USC 1602 I am the original creditor. 15 USC 1605 finance charge shall be the sum of all charges, if it isnt its a violation and these other laws should be looked into 15 USC 1635, 15 USC 1662,12CFR s 202,15 USC 1602g USC 8, 12 USC 95a , 18 USC 894 is a federal statute that prohibits the use of extortionate means to collect or attempt to collect credit extensions, or to punish nonrepayment. The statute is part of Title 18, Chapter 42 of the U.S. Code, which covers crimes and criminal procedure. These persons have violated my federally protected rights. Banks have been committing fraud since XXXX  knowingly and willingly deceives the American people for financial gain every loan agreement I sign is actually a payable instrument used to pay for the service/ product so in fact its actually an exchange and not a loan in an exchange you are trading things of equal value by using my social security number.
