Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (CA)

I was about to make an offer on a HUD-approved manufactured home in a land-owned community and applied for this loan with USBank because they are listed as a participating lender for a grant program, which I needed. I was approved and was in underwriting and in escrow on the first home. However, the home did not pass inspection, so I immediately canceled escrow and notified USBank about this and informed them that I was interested in another manufactured home just a few lots up in the same community. USBank drew up another application for the second home and everything was in progress, I received more " congratulations, your loan has been approved '' type phone calls, as with the first loan. I was in escrow on the second home and in the middle of underwriting, once again. I received inquiries from USBank via their secure portal, which is extremely difficult to access and use, but did my best to immediately provide what was required. The loan officer 's assistant emailed me a list of items to produce and I was ready to upload everything to the secure site, but there was no way of uploading my documents upon logging in as the site indicated the loan officer will be in contact with me. Meanwhile, the day after we had completed inspection on the property, I received a shocking phone call from the loan officer that USBank has suddenly decided to no longer finance manufactured homes! There was nothing he nor I could do, but turn to another lender. I was packing to leave town for my aunt 's memorial, but yet had to scramble until midnight to find another lender to replicate the USBank loan as escrow is due to close in less than three weeks! I have now hurt my credit score with more hard inquiries to apply with other lenders. Moreover, I will likely lose this home and fall out of escrow if I can not find a lender to offer me a loan similar to USBank 's within three weeks which I can afford and which includes the grant I really need. It is so unacceptable for a reputable bank to do this at the eleventh hour! They should have at least honored my application to closing and not cut me off in the midst of underwriting! Moreover, I was told if I opened a USBank account, I'd get 1 % back at closing, so I went through the hassle of closing out my XXXX XXXX account to switch to USBank. I spent an entire weekend updating my bills, making arrangements for payroll direct deposit to USBank, go through the hassle of rushing to the bank after work to cash my payroll check prior to the new direct deposit coming into play in two weeks, etc. The numerous effort and time I've wasted and all the trouble I'm going through is beyond words. For USBank to suddenly drop me the way they did without any notice or written notification other than an apologetic phone call from they loan officer is just unacceptable. A major bank such as USBank to do this to an individual is outright cruel and unacceptable!

Between XXXX I originated XXXX accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . A personal loan and a credit card which was opened separately. Overtime, either one or both of the accounts had changes to the account number, changes to the terms and conditions or some loan modification. As a result, the account history and the amount of payments and interest Ive paid substantial payments without paying in totality has become available. As well as access to previous statements before the account numbers changed. I have noticed that the principal balance has barely changed and it appears most of all the payments made has gone to interest. For the past XXXX years, I havent had any significant reduction in my principal balance. As a result of financial hardship and reduced income I needed assistance with making payments. The first delinquency was reported in XXXX for both the credit card and loan. After XXXX  years, statue of limitation require negative reporting should be deleted and removed. Also, they have the credit card tradeline for {$19000.00} appearing twice under different account numbers, which is having a double negative impact on my credit. In absence of account history and old statements I have contested the validity of the debt and derogatory information. The credit reporting agencies and XXXX XXXX has failed to rectify the situation and delete derogatory information. Under section 1681s-2B of FCRA 15 USC 1681 et seq and The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq, the companies are in violation and having complied to my requests. Also, in recent news reports and class action lawsuit, XXXX XXXX has allegedly discriminated against minority borrowers and neglected to provide fair lending practices and services. I believe I am too a victim of unfair treatment and would like all derogatory credit reporting to be removed and deleted. I have been a member since XXXX, and Ive paid off several loans with XXXX XXXX. I am deeply disappointed at the way theyve treated me as a consumer. Learning that theyve treated other minority consumers unfairly is terrible. Their actions has negatively impacted my financial health and credit score by continuing to report old and unverified information.

My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 me 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 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 XXXXXXXX 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
