Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My accounts 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/updated.

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.

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!

Hi, I'm submitting this complaint because I have nowhere to turn too! Recently, I did an investigation on my credit report which caused severe XXXX upon me and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that Experian, XXXX, & XXXX didn't make sure it was reporting 100 % correct. 

In accordance with the FCRA and XXXX XXXX compliance reporting standards. 
Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report and Under 15 U.S. Code 1881e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) these accounts are in violation of not reporting 100 % accurate. I'm disappointed that Experian, XXXX, & XXXX have not been able to provide me with any documented proof of compliance reporting standards and applicable consumer laws.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I have a credit account showing on my credit report from Bank of America. This account is erroneous. I have disputed this account multiple times with the credit bureaus. Each attempt was unsuccessful. I contacted Bank of America by means of phone calls and written communication multiple times in an attempt to correct this incorrect mark. I had requested detailed information in writing to show how this could have ended up in my name. I had received nothing from the creditor nor any assistance at all. 

This erroneous account has negatively impacted my credit score, effecting my financial standing and overall well-being. I am trying to buy a home and this incorrect information is causing my family great distress. 

Due to Bank of America or the credit bureaus willingness to assist with this problem, I am requesting an investigation by CFPB. I feel this is a grave violation of my rights.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: ZIONS BANCORPORATION (NV)

Nevada State Bank responded to my original complaint XXXX with asserted facts that were blatantly incorrect, misstated, and/or misleading and CFPB accepted at face value the Bank 's response without exercising due diligence and good judgment as to the veracity of these assertions made by the Bank. For example, Bank asserts " no other customers experienced this issue '' and I can attest to being told by Bank personnel on several occasions that there were, indeed, many other such instances of similar wire frauds that occurred at the same time with other Bank customers. To dismiss my original complaint based solely on the response from the Bank is both a travesty of justice, as well as an insult to the principles of consumer protection, which the CFPB is supposed to uphold. I reject the Bank 's response, both for its lack of veracity and blatant disregard for any repercussions of misleading the CFPB. Additionally, I make a formal request to have the CFPB 's initial actions reviewed by its upper management to rescind the closure and initial a reopening of the original complaint. Thereafter, the Bank should be required to show proof of its basis for its positions relative to their actions taken, as well as substantiating their factual summaries.

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

To whom this may concern, I have tried multiples time sending you a letter but due to my limited English and inexperience regarding dispute to credit bureau I keep getting rejected on this inaccurate late payment report on XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022. 
This is not funny anymore this is a serious matter and I need you to take me serious There a late payment on XXXX XXXX on my credit report that are not accurate and this is truly hurting my chance of refinancing my home so I can keep up with the monthly Mortgage before they going through foreclosure soon. 
The mortgage company told me you could fix this issue and these late payments are incorrect and need to be updated to on-time paid as agreed you are reporting late and those dates need to be changed to paid as agreed. 
I am in dire need of your help to fix this issue please do not ignore my letters my because whole family depend on this. 
I did reach out to XXXX XXXX company and they told me they going to take it off but the problem when I called them it was like 4 months after they report me a late payment on XX/XX/2022 that Im not even aware of! They told me they cant take off anymore since it already past 1 month after they accidently report me a month before. Telling me to contact credit bureaus now. 
I dont know if theyre lying trying to cover their mistake or not but at that time I didnt think it important to resolve the matter until now I tried to refinancing my home. That when I know how important that I have to clean up my credit profile not to mentioned I have tons of unauthorized tried to open credit card account under my name.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (PA)

I've been using a TD bank Visa card for many years. To prepare for an overseas vacation, I called and spoke to a person to let them know I would be using the card in XXXX for two weeks. I used the card for meal charges, as they offer cash back on these purchases. 

I returned yesterday and checked my account activity. I was shocked to see that EVERY overseas charge I made with the TD card also generated a " FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE ''. I'd called TD Card before I left to notify them that I would be using the card in XXXX, and spoke to a person who made a " note '' in my account to this effect. That person said nothing about these fees. 

I called TD today and asked that they refund these fees, which total about {$20.00}. They refused and stated this follows my service agreement. That document is ten pages of fine print I received years ago. I believe this is deliberately deceptive practice - the person who noted my trip could have easily reminded me of the the per transaction fees. 

I ask that the CFPB investigate this practice of not providing fair warning of this junk fee.
