Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

My account with XXXX XXXX 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. 

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

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

I recently requested for a correction to be made on my credit report because I was showing XXXX credit inquiries showing on my credit report. The bank recently closed my business bank account which they had sent me a pre approved letter for business credit. Then they proceeded by denying my application and giving me XXXX credit inquiries while at the same time sending me a " end of business '' letter where they didn't disclose why they were discontinuing doing business with me. I think its completely unfair for them to promote pre approved credit, have me apply, and then stop doing business with me while at the same time reporting a hard inquiry to my credit report not just once but twice. I need both hard injuries to be removed. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is destroying me chances from continuing business else where.

Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble getting information about the card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I applied for & was granted Unemployment Benefits XXXX quarter XXXX during the initial uproar & mass confusion of XXXX. 
I received a Bank of America Debit Card in XXXX of XXXX to -- presumably -- begin access of my benefits. I ACTIVATED THE CARD BUT MY ACCOUNT WAS NEVER FUNDED. 
XXXX Debit Card Assistance was UNAVAILABLE : the CA XXXX XXXX line was nonstop jammed for months from XXXX - XXXX. I thus turned to my own local BofA Branch XXXXager who discovered that the XXXX  Debit Card Process had been subcontracted out to parties unknown working under the BofA logo. My bank of XXXX yrs could not help me. 
With no resources left and exhausted by interminable hold times and disconnects, I tabled my claim for approximately {$5000.00} because ... what was I supposed to do? Hire an attorney or other advocate when out of work? All of this was crazy-making. 
Finally in XXXX of XXXX, I picked up the gauntlet again and found that XXXX had installed a new telephone response system. An " elevated agent '' agreed to run a pay-out accounting of my benefits AND gave me a BofA vendor phone number to have them run same. ATTACHED ARE THEIR RESPONSES from XXXX, XXXX. 
NET NET : BofA XXXX XXXX out of Delaware claimed that CA XXXX had never funded my acct. XXXX meanwhile claimed that they'd wire-transferred XXXX payments, dating to early XXXX & XXXX of XXXX, successfully to BofA Debit Card on XX/XX/XXXX & XXXX, XXXX. ( They bunched up XXXX payments into XXXX for some inexplicable reason. ) I now had PROOF that I was at an impasse with my both of my key parties pointing fingers at each other. 
FINALLY I THOUGHT TO CONTACT MY CONGRESSPERSON 'S OFFICE. An aide there researched my matter, reached out personally to XXXX and discovered from them & from peers in other congressional offices that I was not the only constituent struggling with non-payment of XXXX unemployment benefits. So finally, between CA Elected Officials XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX, I have arrived HERE to file a proper and righteous complaint. HELP. ONCE AND FOR ALL. HELP.

I have previously disputed with XXXX, XXXX and Equifax regarding several accounts which I found inaccurate.
