Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (CA)

This problem might not get fixed, but at least I documented the issue. I already filed a complaint because for some reason, Apple would not process my application so that I could get a card. It took me submitting an application like 59 times just to get them to run my credit. I finally was able to get the card, once they ran my credit and have used it for well over a year. Sometimes less, because of other circumstances. I asked for a credit limit increase, and have been denied countless of times even though the info that they send me stating why indicates a score of 790-810. I was told in XXXX to use the card regularly for a month because if we dont automatically granXXXX an increase after 6-months, we usually do so after a year and because I didnt start using the card right away. I did so, and was told the same thing. I asked for them to perform an underwriting, which they agreed to do which might require them rerunning my credit, which I was informed about via email, but was told by a rep that they would not review it and there decision is final. As I tried to explain to the reps, if they did what they said they were going to do, a soft look would have told them that I have a card thats 4X the limit of the Apple Card, which is why I dont get the balance up high that often. Also, when I do go that high, it takes a month or so for my score to go back up because it results in a XXXX point hit to my score. I think they are picking on me because of my name and what my name means. So, them asking me to permanently lower my score to get a limit increase is biases, especially when I have mad more than the minimum payment and well before my due dates. From what I gather from searching the web, this isnt a common problem that I am experiencing. This is prejudice at its core and is something that the average XXXX customer isnt dealing with.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 months that are reported late 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 XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX 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
