Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AL)

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX 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 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. 


XXXX 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: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: STERLING BANCORP (FL)

I own a residential building that has a first floor zoned as commercial. My loan is with Sterling National Bank The loan was for 10 years with a reset after 5 years. The loan agreement included a clause that required me to tell the bank when a lien on the property is filed. If I failed to do this, exorbitant interest penalties accrued. I was ignorant of that clause in addition the clause stated that they didn't have to inform me that interest was accruing. 

A {$400000.00} lien was filed against me with the court and the bank was named and notified at the same time! When I tried to reset the loan the bank stated that they needed more time to since they were backed up with work so I needed to sign an extension agreement. I told them that I wanted the interest rate frozen and spoke to the president of the company. He said he would look into it. 

I continued to make my payments as before ... They never told me that I owed the exorbitant interest. On XX/XX/XXXX they informed me that I owed them {>= $1,000,000}, and my loan was in default. On XX/XX/XXXX they sold my loan to some unknown entity. 

Sterling Bank lied and said that I never wanted an extension and ignored me.

My lawyers have been helpful but I believe that I have been wronged. I do not want Sterling Bank to do this to another person.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I went into you store located in XXXX, NY to pick up a few items. Shopping experience was fine. At the register I was asked whether I wanted to join your frequent buyers club and get 10 % off the current purchase. I said yes. The young lady at the register was apparently not familiar with the process so she called over an older gentleman who seemed to be a more senior presence in the store. He asked for my drivers license explaining that it would be easier to enter my information. This all made sense to me at the time and I made a joke that the frequent shopper sign up seemed more intense than other stores. I told the gentleman repeatedly that I did not want and would not use a credit card. The next thing I know, Im approved for a credit that I did not ask for and do not want. At no time did I give permission to access my credit. XXXX acting as an agent of XXXX XXXX or vice versa accessed my credit without my permission and creating an hard inquiry on my credit report.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), there is a necessity to ensure that consumer reporting agencies carry out their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. XXXX and Experian are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the consumer. I have the right to ensure my private information is not shared, supported by 15 USC 6801, which states, " It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies is considered a financial institution under this title.

15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) states, " In general, subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies, XXXX, and Experian do not have my consent to furnish this information, nor do they have my written consent. Any and all consent given to XXXX, Experian, or the furnisher of information to credit agencies, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is revoked. According to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.

Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states, " Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item being reported without my permission, which is against the law. According to 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ), " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. '' Furthermore, 15 USC 1681e states, " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. '' XXXX and Experian are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Finally, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.
