Consumer complaint received 2023-02-18
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

XXXX is listing a bankruptcy record that should be removed. I have disputed twice and they refuse to remove it. I explored a XXXX XXXXXXXX bankruptcy in XXXX of XXXX When the court told me what the terms and conditions would be, I withdrew and did not go through with the bankruptcy. Their public records section states that I had a Bankruptcy-dismissed. It was dismissed because I withdrew. There was no bankruptcy. 

I disputed the record with XXXX XXXX, the company that reports XXXX XXXX including Bankruptcies to XXXX. XXXX sided with me, removing the record from my XXXX XXXX files. I checked my files and indeed, XXXX did remove that bankruptcy record. 

On XXXX 's own website, they have a section called " Understanding Your XXXX Credit Report which states the following : XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy is the only public record that will appear on your credit history. Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding under which a person is provided relief from debts they are unable to pay. There are two primary forms of bankruptcy filed by consumers : XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX. They are called " XXXX '' because they are defined by chapters in the bankruptcy law. In a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy, you do not repay any of the debt owed. Under XXXX XXXX bankruptcy, you are responsible for paying back a portion of the debts that you owe through a debt repayment plan. 

If your report contains public records, the XXXX XXXX section includes items from courts that XXXX may have obtained through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a third-party vendor. You may contact them at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX, or by visiting XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Since XXXX removed the record so they are no longer reporting it, all of the credit reporting agencies including XXXX, should remove the record. I attached the resolution letter from XXXX that states that they removed the record. I have lost two potential credit opportunities, because of this inaccurate bankruptcy record, that they say will stay on my record for 7 years. This is totally unfair and unacceptable. 

XXXX states on my credit report that this record is potentially negative. It is much more than " potentially negative ''. I did not have a bankruptcy but I am being penalized as if I went through with it. Filing and exploring should not be reported as a Bankruptcy if you withdraw. There is no mention of this fact in their reporting.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

My account with those creditors was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 those account 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.

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!

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

My financial information has been compromised since approximately XX/XX/23 and continues through the filing of this report. This has been primarily in the form of unauthorized stock sales through transfer agents and mutual funds accounts, fraudulent credit card transactions and transfers from my checking account. In addition, merchant accounts have been invaded attempting the purchase of goods and services. 
These same parties also successfully gained access to the on-line cloud backup to some of my computer files, many of which contain sensitive data and personal credentials. 

Despite actions taken to further secure my information through account freezing, two factor authentication and reissuance of credit cards, the fraudulent activity continues daily. A new bank account is being set up and new e-mail addresses are being set up. It is unclear as to whether any of this will solve this extremely serious and illegal activity. 

My e-mail address has also been captured resulting in filtering certain senders and changing voice mail settings to direct calls to unfamiliar phone mail providers.
