Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NC)

The payment history of my account is not correct. The report shows that I was delinquent for XX/XX/XXXX payment ( XX/XX/XXXX being 30 day cutoff for 30 days past due ). My car was deemed a total loss by XXXX XXXX due to accident on XX/XX/2024. ( XXXX actually happened in XXXX ) but it took till XX/XX/XXXX for total loss determination during which time I continued to pay loan even though the car was undrivable and at auto body facility. XXXX XXXX then sent letter to me ( attached ) that the loan was to be paid off directly with my loan holder ... Truist Bank. I received a letter stating the loan was entirely paid off on XX/XX/XXXX. 8 days before a 30 day delinquency which I was monitoring very carefully to avoid any late payments. Due to an error by my insurance company however they never notified me that XXXX XXXXejected this payment because it was short {$XXXX} ( out of {$XXXX} ). However... they did send a {$XXXX} payment. After sending me attached letter stating loan was paid off neither XXXX  nor XXXX informed me it was not posted to my account and still in process. And even though my insurance company sent {$XXXX XXXX deemed my account to be 30 days delinquent because their system did not accept the additional {$XXXX} until after the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX delinquency cut off. However ... .again ... It was communicated to me that my loan was paid off and no further payment was required. I have NEVER had a delinquency on my auto loans. As you can see from my history I paid on time every time. This is an error on my insurance companies fault and Truist never communicated with me it was not paid off while they were working through the process. XXXX XXXX even got on the phone with XXXX and indicated it was not my error... but an error between XXXX and Truist. In speaking with Truist they agreed this delinquency was not my error and would reach out to credit bureaus to correct. However... they have now declined to help me. After escalating to management they are now taking the position it was not their error and refuse to help me any further. Prior to this issue I had a credit score of XXXX. Overnight it went to XXXX. This has severe financial consequences for myself and family thru no fault of my own. This is very harmful and I do not feel due to my insurance companies mistake and lack of communication from Truist I should be held responsible for this delinquency when I have a spotless payment record. Thanks you for you consideration.

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now XXXXm asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

Despite this, Experian has refused to remove two fraudulent accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Instead, they mistakenly removed my legitimate XXXX account, which I am now attempting to reinstate. 

My XXXX report contains one fraudulent account belonging to XXXX  XXXX XXXX. 

I am seeking assistance in resolving these issues and clearing my credit reports of all fraudulent activity.

This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

I am writing to file a complaint regarding specific negative items reported on my consumer credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified inaccuracies in the reporting of these negative items, which have adversely impacted my financial standing. 

Despite numerous attempts to address these inaccuracies with the reporting agencies, the negative items remain unchanged, affecting my ability to secure credit and loans. I believe these inaccuracies stem from erroneous reporting or misunderstanding of my financial history.

My account with XXXX XXXX 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. 


XXXXXXXX XXXXNever 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.

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 is the 4th CFPB complaint filed. The previous 3 complaints resulted with Equifax agreeing to remove the fraudulent, unauthorized hard inquiry but the inquiry is still there as of XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax has not removed a hard inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX received on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. Ive provided supporting documentation that proves that the hard inquiry was unauthorized and a fraud attempt to obtain a line of credit under my Social Security number including a letter directly from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX , acknowledging the fraudulent activity. Ive attached a letter from the bank also confirming that the hard inquiry was unauthorized and should be removed from all three credit bureaus. Equifax is the only bureau that acknowledged the inquiry was fraudulent but still has not removed the fraudulent inquiry from my credit report. I have been submitting disputes every day on the Equifax website for this hard inquiry ever since it was reported on XX/XX/XXXX, but the results from my dispute is closed within hours, which leads me to believe no actual investigation was done regarding the fraudulent inquiry. I immediately initiated a fraud alert, and a credit freeze at all three credit bureaus due to this fraudulent attempt with my social security number and Equifax needs to remove this fraudulent hard inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX  dated XX/XX/XXXX from my credit report. Equifax confirmed in the prior 3 CFPB complaint that the hard inquiry was fraudulent and deleted but the inquiry in still on my Equifax credit report and was not removed.

Yo CFPB, I'm real upset with how XXXX, XXXX, and Experian are treating my credit report. I've tried to fix the errors, but they keep ignoring me, which breaks the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681i. 

I've sent letters using simple software, but they ain't responding. This is straight-up illegal and wrong. No Power of Attorney is needed for this. 

Under FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) and Metro 2 reporting standards, I got the right to dispute any false info on my credit report. The claims of delinquency against me are bogus and don't meet federal or state standards.

I want proof that there was a legit reason for the inquiries or accounts on my report. If they can't show that, it's a fail on their part. 

The XXXX data breach messed me up with a bunch of fraudulent stuff on my report. I never agreed to share my private info, making this reporting unfair and not right according to 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602A.

Here 's where they messed up : 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602A : My right to privacy 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604A Section 2 : Can't furnish an account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) : No adverse items older than seven years 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) : Can't knowingly furnish inaccurate info Y'all got 30 days to fix this. I want proof of what you did and an updated copy of my credit report. The false claims need to go, ASAP. 

Check out the attached letter for more details. Thanks for handling this quick.
