1. On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased fuel at a gas at XXXX XXXX. After this transaction I noticed it took longer than usual to settle and settled for {$75.00} which is the amount debited at the pump until the transaction settles for the actual amount. I was denied a receipt for this transaction. I filed a dispute with Chime on XX/XX/XXXX and like every other dispute I was extended a provisional credit that was later reversed with a final determination of ; " we determined no error occurred ''. Their policy allows them no more than 10 business days to send all documentation used to make a final determination after receiving a request. I have requested these documents every dispute since opening my account and at present I have received no documentation related to any disputes. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I sent request for documentation used to make this determination. I received receipt and confirmation of this request XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. I sent notice that this deadline was not honored. I submitted a rebuttal and documentation on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I was told Chime made a final determination on the rebuttal. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I submitted request for documentation used to make this determination. I received receipt and confirmation of this request on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a link to chat with a live agent who then informed me they are still investigating my rebuttal.

Dear XXXX XXXX, I am writing in response to your correspondence dated XX/XX/year>, regarding the charged-off account associated with my name. After careful review of your response, I am compelled to address several concerning issues regarding the handling of this account and its impact on my consumer rights. 

In your response, it was acknowledged that the account in question was charged off, indicating that the debt was considered written off. According to IRS regulations, any charge off is treated as canceled or forgiven debt, which in turn, is considered as income. This action raises XXXX significant violations under the guidelines of all three Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) : firstly, income is not to be reported on any consumer report, and secondly, a charge off indicates canceled or forgiven debt, which should not be reported if there is no outstanding balance. 

Furthermore, your response indicated that this charged-off account was sold, which further compounds the violations of my consumer rights. If the debt is indeed canceled, as indicated by its charged-off status, how is it permissible to be sold to another entity? This raises serious questions regarding the legality and ethicality of the actions taken by XXXX XXXX XXXX 

As these violations are federally regulated, I demand that this charged-off account be immediately deleted from my consumer report. This will be my final demand before pursuing legal action against XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX CRAs for their complicity in violating federal law, specifically 15 USC 1681e XXXX b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Had this requirement been met, it would have been evident that income is not to be reported on consumer reports, as stated on all three CRAs ' websites and guidelines. 

I urge XXXX XXXX to rectify this matter promptly and in accordance with the law. Failure to comply will result in legal action to ensure that my consumer rights are upheld and that justice is served. 

I expect a timely response acknowledging receipt of this letter and confirming your commitment to resolving this dispute. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Within Grace Period : The payment reported as late for XX/XX/XXXX was made within the 15-day grace period allowed by my creditor and should not have been recorded as a late payment. 
Clerical Error : There appears to have been a clerical error in how the payment was processed by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, leading to the incorrect reporting of a 30-day late payment. 
I provided substantial evidence in my dispute, including bank statements and payment confirmations showing that the payment was made on time and within the contractual grace period. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

My account with those crediotrs 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

It's incredibly frustrating that I'm only XXXX payments into this repayment period, and yet, I'm already experiencing issues with this company again My XXXX  XXXX stated that I was due {$220.00} by XX/XX/XXXX, and I paid {$220.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The second bill showed a past-due amountobviously not trueand a new payment due of {$300.00}. I sent a payment of {$300.00}, and now my XXXX  bill shows a past-due amount. Again, not valid. 

Why is my payment not shown as {$220.00} monthly? This inconsistency is causing me a lot of financial XXXX. I will not tolerate this again. 

This company put my accounts in forbearance without my consent for years while the interest grew. I entered into payment agreements, and they made additional payments from my bank account, overdrafting my account. 

Navient 's actions are directly impacting my financial stability. I have requested an immediate correction of the billing errors and assurance of accurate future billing. 

These loans are from XXXX and XXXX. 

Navient states that the recent lawsuit against them does not benefit students like myself. This loan was originally contracted with XXXX XXXX. 

How do I stop this company from its fraudulent practices??

My Barclays credit card was being used by someone else without my knowledge or consent. I contacted Barclays about this issue, explaining that I did not have access to the portal, could not make payments, and was not aware of any payments due, as the account had been taken over by the individual who stole the credit card. I received XXXX late payment marks on my credit report, even though I had no control over the issue. I am requesting that these late payment marks be removed from my account. I have since been able to access the account, paid off the account, and closed the account to ensure that this issue will not happen again.
