Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: The Law Offices of Mitchell D. Bluhm & Associates (FL)

This is a medical debt, nearly 5 years old, by a local XXXX XXXX, for interpretation of an XXXX. Their charge in 2015 was {$390.00}, but because the XXXX XXXX had a contract with my health insurance carrier, that charge was reduced to {$220.00} which was my responsibility. The XXXX  XXXX XXXX A/R was purchased by XXXX who turned this over to MBA Law Collections Agency. I was unaware this debt was outstanding until my credit report monitoring service notified me of a negative posting by MBA Law and only subsequently did I receive a demand letter from them for {$390.00}. My complaint is with MBA Law : 1 ) MBA Law posted their collections action to XXXX  & XXXX  consumer credit reporting agencies before notifying me of their claim and giving me an opportunity to rectify it. 
2 ) MBA Law wants payment of {$390.00} but they are only entitled to payment for the original debt owed by the account Guarantor, which is {$220.00} due to the XXXX XXXX XXXX  contract with my carrier in 2015, XXXX. 
3 ) Despite an offer in writing to MBA Law to cover the full {$220.00}, I have not heard from them.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (PA)

On XX/XX/2023, at XXXX ET, I accessed my " Clearly Better Business Checking '' account online at XXXX XXXX XXXX When Exporting transactions, the exported file contains records that are outside the filter criteria set. In addition, in the account overview, transactions, view, the " Contact Us '' link at the bottom of the page fails to open the contact us page. 

In general, it appears that Citizens Bank recently reprogrammed their online account interface. The presence of such obvious defects indicates that no testing was done, and that the implementation is dangerously incompetent at a level totally inappropriate for banking. 

I attempted to call Citizens Bank at XXXX and an automated system reported that no one was available. It also reported that they are experiencing an abnormally high call volume. This is a lie as I have never called and not been told there is an abnormally high call volume. They have made a practice of deceiving customers into believing their normal failure to answer the phone is something other than routine.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I write to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX XXXX as my credit reports wrongfully continue to be reported as OPEN for my XXXX XXXX account although I voluntarily CLOSED my account long ago and I have diligently sought to have my account marked CLOSED which required immediate mid cycle reporting to every CRA of my closed status. In fact, I have attached a XX/XX/XXXX listing of 2 entries on my credit report documenting that my account was CLOSED. One entry states XXXX XXXX account was closed On XX/XX/XXXX, your XXXX XXXX credit card was closed. A second entry similarly states : Account Information Changed. Remark code added to XXXX XXXX account. Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, the following remark was added to thus account : Account closed by consumer. Since it is admitted that my account was closed and in fact reported as Closed, the failure to block changes from Closed to Open, constitutes an obvious Facially False Data deficiency which is prohibited as warned recently by CFOB Director XXXX XXXX. Kindly permanently delete my account and send me additional statutory damages of {$1000.00} for repeated uncurled willful violations of the FCRA and Metro 2.

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

My account with Equifax 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. 


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 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
