I am writing to you as the holder of credit card account number XXXX XXXX  # XXXX to report an issue negatively impacting my credit report that appears to be in violation of the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666b, as well as other relevant sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments.

Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 

I have identified that the statements for my credit card have not been delivered in compliance with these requirements, resulting in the appearance of late payments on my credit report. This non-compliance has adversely affected my credit score. 

I formally request that you investigate and correct any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : Date of reported late payment : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to rectify any errors in my credit report. I am willing to provide any additional documentation necessary for your investigation. 

I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the actions taken to correct this information and ensure compliance with the relevant regulations.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

My account with 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 60 days 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! 
Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (OH)

My current home loan was originally created with my husband as the borrower and myself, his spouse, as the co borrower. My husband became unemployed and we were unable to make our mortgage payments. I was a stay at home mother of our XXXX  children. We qualified for a modification that was completed in XX/XX/XXXX. At this time I went back to XXXX school, completed my XXXX XXXX   and have been employed for a year. My husband stopped making payment on the home again. We were divorced in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a signed Quit Claim Deed through the divorce on our property. The home fell into foreclosure once again and I was instructed by the court system to apply for a new home modification using all of my current information. I was also awarded custody of my XXXX minor children. We are currently living in the home. I should mention there is also a {$23000.00} insurance claim that my home loan mortgage company Mr Cooper is holding for repairs that have been held by them illegally. They have received all the document but keep telling me they need more.. They have done two home inspections that passed and still no funds have been released to date. I contacted XXXX XXXX  with The Fair Housing commission locally in my area of XXXX Ohio. He and I have spent countless hours on third party lines recorded with Mr Cooper to try to find options and answers. He suggested that I contact your service. We have tried to get them to release the funds to complete the work on the basement so I may move forward and sell the property. We also looked further into applying the funds to the current reinstatement amount. I feel I need assistance and support because I have been victimized by Mr Cooper holding the funds and not working with me to keep my home or to sell it. They have held the funds for two years. I currently have equity in the home.

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

Subject : Follow-Up on Unresolved Complaint - Request for Removal of Inaccurate Account from Credit Report In re : CFPB Complaint Number Equifax-XXXX XXXX XXXX  Dear CFPB, I am writing to follow up on my previous complaint, referenced as CFPB Complaints Number XXXX and XXXX which I filed over 30 days ago regarding inaccuracies on my Equifax, XXXX and XXXX credit report. To date, I have not received a response from Either, nor have they initiated the required investigation into the dispute. This continued inaction is negatively affecting my credit profile and my ability to obtain credit. 

The complaint concerns the following account : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( 1681i ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days. As Equifax has failed to meet this deadline, I request the immediate removal of this account from my credit report, in accordance with Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA, which mandates deletion of information that can not be verified.

Furthermore, All three bureaus non-compliance violates my rights under the FCRA. Section 623 ( 1681s-2 ) requires furnishers like XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide accurate and complete information to credit reporting agencies, and I believe this obligation has not been met in my case.

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to enforce Equifax, XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX  compliance with FCRA regulations and ensure the removal of this inaccurate account from my credit report. Additionally, I ask for any guidance on further steps I may take to protect my rights and resolve this issue. 

Thank you for your attention and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

Sychrony Bank, XXXX, Utah ( Seems to be the Credit card manager for Lowes credit cards ) has been charging me late fees and crazy interest for a Lowes credit card the store pressured me to open, explaining how great the card was and low the interest rate would be. In XXXX minues at the register she said i was signed up and after reviewing a few statements I quickly realized that was not the case at all. Every month thereafter I was charged about {$70.00} per month in fees and interest. So when I paid a monthly amount of {$100.00} only {$30.00} was coming off my overall balance? I wrote them, questioning this, and they immediately lowered my credit limit to the exact anmount I owed, and I further explained to them I will be reaching out to the proper agency to expose them for what they are -THIEVES! 
I finally after about 6 months paid the entire balanace off, but a {$1000.00} credit card balnace, cost me over {$500.00} in fees and interest, to have for 6 months. Something is very wrong here. How many good americans are getting the same selljob, and then getting the complate opposite and further trying to punish me for calling them out on it ... ..in my opinion, that is the bigger problem here, for they are a US fudiciary and bank, and should be holding themsolves to a much higher standard. Thank you for reviewing this problem.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
