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

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 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 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!

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (AK)

My Apple credit card was compromised by Apple ID takeover in XX/XX/XXXX. Signifcant fraudulent charges were made on the credit card and have been satisfactorily resolved ( reversed ) by Goldman Sachs fraud unit. I paid the legitimate outstanding balance in XX/XX/XXXX. It took a prior CFPB complaint to bring the fraudulent charges to closure. The card was closed. 

Subsequently, the credit card was charged for the apple cash rewards related to the fraudulent items that were resolved/reversed. Goldman Sachs position is I'm responsible for the balance of these fraudulent rewards despite repeated calls with Fraud Unit to have the apple cash rewards reversed and resolved. I have proven I have no access to these rewards via apple cash as they assert. 

I have worked through the process Goldman Sachs requested. Apple has confirmed there is no ability to recover my apple id account after working the matter. I have talked with Apple Cash team and reviewed the fact I have no access nor did I benefit from the apple cash credited to me from the fraudulent transactions. The Goldman Sachs Level 2 Fraud Unit has corresponded with both Apple and Apple Cash representatives while I was on the line. In early XXXX, I was told the matter would be escalated to a responsible manager who could finally resolve the matter. I was told I should not be responsible for the rewards balance given I have no access to those rewards/nor benefited from them. 

I called Goldman Sachs today to confirm the resolution and was again told I was responsible for the balance and could again escalate the matter for review. I have made repeated calls to resolve this matter since XX/XX/XXXX and have exhausted my ability to communicate with Goldman Sachs effectively. 

Please assist me with resolution of the outstanding balance on this closed account, wholly related to cash rewards on fraudulent transactions. Goldman Sachs continues to report this balance as past due and is negatively impacting my otherwise outstanding credit report.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts. Actually I am not sure that the account is even mine though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting FCRA Violation Dear Credit Reporting Agent I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of an account that you hold on my credit file, which I believe violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 623 ( a ) ( XXXX ) and the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ). The account in question is associated with opened on XX/XX/year>, for the amount of {$1100.00}. Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed that the account does not accurately reflect the payment status. Specifically, it fails to indicate that the account was " paid less, '' which misrepresents my payment history and adversely affects my credit score. According to the FCRA, all information reported to credit reporting agencies must be accurate and complete. The failure to report the correct payment status violates federal law. 
Additionally, the UCC mandates that all parties involved in a credit transaction must report accurate information regarding the status of accounts. Given these violations, I hereby demand that you rectify this reporting error immediately by updating the account information to reflect the accurate payment status of " paid less. '' Furthermore, I request that you remove this account from my credit files with all credit reporting agencies if you can not provide accurate reporting. Please provide me with written confirmation that you have received this dispute and the actions taken to resolve it
