Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I sent in my first dispute letters with XXXX, XXXX and Experian back on XX/XX/year>. I read that the credit bureaus have 30 days to investigate any information that we write to them. However, I continued to get multiple template responses and the inaccurate information of late payment history continues to be listed under each of my credit reports. XXXX sent letters twice saying that I did not send in the proper identification to verify myself and that they were not going to do anything further regarding my request. I even called them on a recorded line. I sent each of them two forms of proper identification and have proof that I did. After my first dispute request, each credit bureau removed an inaccurate account under " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' so I am not sure where the disconnect is and why I can not get them to remove additional inaccurate information. There continues to be ( XXXX ) inaccurate late payment under each of the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and ( XXXX ) inaccurate late payments under XXXX. The account history is inaccurate and I also was affected by XXXX like many others so I am not sure why this information is listed and not being reversed. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( e ) b Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report, it shall follow the reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Issue: Closing an account — Fees charged for closing account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NV)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Bank of America regarding the recent closure of my account in response to fraud claims I submitted for digital fraud charges. I have also filed a police to document the fraudulent activities that occurred. The actions taken by Bank of America have impacted my financial stability and ability to access essential banking services. 

I reported unauthorized digital fraud charges on my Bank of America account, providing detailed information and evidence to support my claim. Subsequently, Bank America closed my account without conducting a thorough investigation into the validity of the fraud claims, despite the existence of a filed police report corroborating the fraudulent activities. 

The sudden closure of my account has caused significant disruption to my financial activities, resulting in the loss of access to my funds, recurring payments, and essential banking services. Furthermore, the lack of communication and transparency from Bank of America regarding the reasons for the account closure has exacerbated the distress and inconvenience I have experienced. 

I urge the Bank of America executive office to intervene in this matter and investigate the actions of Bank of America regarding the closure of my account following the fraud claims I submitted. I seek a fair resolution that includes the reinstatement of my account, a investigation into the fraud claims, reimbursement for any unauthorized transactions, and compensation for the financial losses and distress incurred as a result of this situation. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt and effective resolution to restore my access to banking services and address the injustices I have faced due to Bank of America 's actions.

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.

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 ).

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (GA)

During the pandemic, our household finances were negatively impacted by job loss. Unfortunately, we defaulted on a credit card causing it to go into collections with Midland Credit Management. Midland made attempts to collect from me using an address I have never resided at. This led to them taking me to court to garnish my wages. I didn't learn of any of this until the first garnishment from my paycheck was made. 

In XXXX of XXXX, the last garnishment payment was made. To this date ( XX/XX/year> ), Midland has not claimed the funds from the court. Additionally, they continue to add monthly service fees to the account and will report the account as an open collection to all 3 credit bureaus. 

I have called many times and have been told to " just wait ''. No one you speak to has any idea of how their processes work nor do they care that their abysmal business practices are impacting peoples ' lives. You can only speak to someone in their call center in XXXX, which explains why they have no idea what laws apply to US consumers.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Subject : Request to Enforce Financing Transaction under HJR 192 and Relevant Legal Provisions To Whom It May Concern at XXXX XXXX, I recently received notification regarding the denial of my credit application for the financing of a XXXX XXXX XXXX. This letter serves to formally request the enforcement of the financing transaction based on the following legal grounds : 1. HJR 192 ( 1933 ) : Under this resolution, all debts and obligations are payable in legal tender of the United States. This provides individuals the right to discharge debt obligations with lawful money, thereby prohibiting the compulsion to pay in any specific form of currency. 
2. Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) : Specifically, UCC 1-207 and UCC 1-308 allow individuals to reserve their rights when performing under a contract without prejudice to those rights. By using my Social Security Number ( SSN ) in the credit application, the transaction involves a non-negotiable instrument, which compels XXXXXXXX XXXX to recognize and process the transaction under these terms. 
3. Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ) 12 CFR 226.13 ( Regulation Z ) : This regulation outlines procedures for resolving disputes related to credit transactions, providing consumers with protections against erroneous credit decisions. 
4. Non-Discrimination : Basing the financing decision solely on my credit report constitutes discrimination. Under federal law, specifically the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), I have the right to be evaluated on factors beyond just the credit report, especially when negative items are present. 

As such, I assert my right to have this financing transaction processed and approved. I reserve all rights and remedies available to me under the UCC and CFR. Furthermore, I demand the transaction be reconsidered in light of my rights under HJR 192 and the recognition of my SSN as part of a non-negotiable instrument.

Attached Documentation : 1. Images of the denial letters indicating the credit scores and reasons for the decision. 

Please inform me of the necessary steps to proceed with the approval of this financing transaction. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY)

My account was wrongly closed by Capital One. I am furious as I was a longtime and loyal member of Capital One Bank. They closed my account because of a claim filed against my account from another banking institution. A transfer that was from the other institution to my Capital One account was supposed to be cancelled, but it was not and the funds were no longer in my account at the other institution. The other institution understood this was a mistake and reopened my account as soon as they received the money back from Capital One. In addition, I was in the XXXX  when this was all taking place and therefore had no way to deal with it. I had no idea the money had even been transferred from the other account. I am disgusted with how I have been treated by Capital One. The other bank understood that it was a mistake and that there was no fraudulent attempt to transfer money that I did not have. Capital One did not make any attempt to clarify the situation with me and did not care that I was going through a serious medical situation. This is a terrible and callous way to treat a customer who has banked with Capital One for quite a while. My account should never have been closed!
