My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX to get my free annual credit reports. No problems with XXXX and XXXX, but I was unsuccessful with Equifax. 

Equifax asked a series of questions that were totally irrelevant to my credit history. All of the questions asked about transactions I never made and all of the answer options listed companies I have never done business with. When I correctly answered " none of the above '' to all of these questions, I was denied my credit report. Thinking it was a glitch, I started over. The same thing happened the second time. I am concerned that they may have corrupted data in my file, especially considering their recent data breach. I would like this investigated.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL three of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: The Cherrington Firm PLLC (UT)

They've been calling me for almost a year now, and I've been responding. At first I talked to them extensively about the debt and what it was, and I went to the medical provider from which the debt originated and paid it there in full. But, right on time, a month later, this firm was calling me back. I explained to them that I already paid the debt. It shouldn't be legal that I should have to pay the same bill twice. Their calls have been getting increasingly aggressive, but I'm not sure that insulting me over the phone is exactly a CFPB resolution. Still, I'm recording it regardless. 

It's been so long that I don't have the receipts from the original medical provider anymore. I don't even remember which provider it was, anymore. This was a year ago and they are still calling me.

Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Opening an account — Account opened as a result of fraud
Company: Albert Corporation (SC)

Albert, which is, I guess, a banking app., has been sent me an account statement update email. The text read as such : " Your XXXX Albert Cash and Albert Savings statements are now available to view in the app. To view them, go to the profile tab ( ) > tap the menu icon > Documents. '' This was sent on XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately replied to the email, to their support team, that I'd never opened this account and wanted some answers. I asked them to cancel the account. However, they then asked me for my full name and date of birth on XX/XX/XXXX, which is very sensitive personal information that could be used to steal one 's identity ; a quick XXXX search tells of the dangers of sharing just this information. I refused to give this information online, and asked that they call me on the phone or send me a phone number. They told me they only offer email and text support, and their messages seem to be AI-generated. I can't even get a name of who I'm speaking to from them. So, I'm very frustrated and this bothered. Either, it seems, my identity was stolen and used to create an account with this company, which I can not now close. Or this company is actively attempting to phish my personal information. 

Albert 's website is here : https : //albert.com/ This seems like a highly untrustworthy company, and I hope they can be investigated for the way they're treating people 's personal information and potentially enabling identity theft.
