Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I am filing a complaint against XXXX XXXX regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my account ( Account Number : XXXX ). According to my records, all payments have been made on time, and I did not receive any notification of a late payment. XXXX XXXX reported a late payment on my account without prior notification and without valid proof of any delinquency. I requested verification of the alleged late payment, including dates and associated records, under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). However, the company has not provided verifiable proof or demonstrated that reporting this information does not violate my right to privacy.

This incorrect reporting is negatively affecting my credit profile, making it difficult for me to secure a new vehicle for my family, and causing undue stress and financial strain.

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.

This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

My account with those creditors 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.

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: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MA)

On the evening of XX/XX/year> I opened a checking account online with Bank of America that advertised a {$300.00} bonus if {$2000.00} was deposited into the account within the first 90 days. 

On XX/XX/year> I transferred {$500.00} into the account. 

On XX/XX/year> I tried to log in to my account and was unable to. 

The morning of XX/XX/year> I called Bank of America to ask why my account was closed, and they told me I needed to go to a branch to verify my identity. I immediately went to my local branch who were unable to assist me ( they had to schedule an appointment for me with a teller, as I was unable to schedule an appointment myself online because you have to log in to schedule an appointment ). 

On XX/XX/year> at XXXX, I arrived at my scheduled appointment, during which she called the Bank of America fraud department XXXX They told us that I couldn't access the account because it was closed, and that my funds would be mailed to me as a check within 7-14 business days. She told me I would need to open a new account, but this account would not be eligible for the {$300.00} bonus. 

I declined to open a new account, as I didn't appreciate being enticed into opening an account with a {$300.00} bonus, only for it to be a bait and switch and becoming ineligible for the bonus after wasting hours of time trying to figure out why I couldn't access my account. 

I inquired about why my initial account was closed, and she told me it was because I didn't call the fraud department to verify my identification within 5 business days of opening my account. I was never notified that I needed to do this - and I lost access to my account 3 business days after opening it and called about why I couldn't access my account 4 business days after opening my account.

Hello, I hope you are well. I am a current federal employee and feel so stuck by this XXXX plan. A huge reason why I am working in the government is to take advantage of the XXXX program. I have over XXXX eligible payments, and my goal was to get to XXXX in the next XXXX years by staying in the same job. 

I consolidated my loans in XX/XX/year>, and I have both unsubsidized and subsidized direct loans. My goal is to pay these of as soon as possible. I want to pay my loans and MOHELA and the Department of Education has made that impossible. I am being forced into a forbearance and they have placed me in a horrible position with no ability to figure out what the next step is. The Department of Education posted horrific guidance, that says we can switch to a different plan but it won't be processed for months. This is unacceptable. If the XXXX program is being held up in court, borrowers who want to pay should not be penalized.
