My account with ( XXXX  XXXX  ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  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 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 XXXX days before the payment due date.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

XXXX XXXX  I have disputed this account more than 5 times and each one comes back the same. The company still allows them to keep the information on my credit when I've submitted information to them in regards to the account being closed, paid in full, and previously the creditor reported payments were ALL on time never late, and now that I filed a claim with CFPB right after they entered falsified information saying I was late the entire year of XXXX in which I was not. They are allowing this creditor to say the account is still open when it is not open it was closed in XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX/ this account has been removed from my credit based on decision of dispute and they have allowed the company to play double jeopardy in an attempt to collect funds not owed. The credit reporting agency has information from each dispute and prior to allowing a company to submit anything they should use that information to determine it is not legal what the collection company is doing and violates my rights as a consumer.

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc. (LA)

I am filing this complaint because I am having trouble with a student loan servicer called 'Dept of EdXXXX XXXX and incomplete account on my credit reports. I disputed their account in XXXX of 2024. The issue that the account had was its incompleteness. The payment history specifically. I recall the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 1681s-2 ( b ) ( 1 ) stating that after the have a received a dispute from a C.R.A about an account they furnished, they are required to investigate the matter along with any supporting documentation provided to them as the data furnisher. I have given them ample enough time to conduct a reasonable investigation about the account I have with them, and I was very clear stating that the payment history of the account they furnished fails to report complete payment history on my credit reports with the consumer reporting agencies. This company did not do a reasonable investigation, and I believe they are not looking beyond what is currently in their system pertaining to the correct information needed to update and correct the incomplete account because the same disputed information was not resolved rendering the disputed information incomplete. They updated information that has nothing to do with the issue I prompted them to fill in and correct. They went around the actual problem instead of addressing it. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 1681s-2 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( E ) data furnishers are required to promptly delete an incomplete account if they failed to correct it because at that point it would be considered to be unverifiable. Why are these creditors not taking accountability? They are abusing their power and screwing up our livelihoods as living breathing human beings. A group of humans toying with another human 's life due to negligence without a care as to how it could affect that person even labelled as a consumer. It is not fair. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ), ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 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.
