These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: HANCOCK WHITNEY BANK (LA)

I am seeking assistance in the matter of a dispute between all major bureaus and a financial Bank and lender Hancock Two payments were sent to Hancock Whitney in the month of XX/XX/XXXX these payments were sent to cover my monthly installment payments on an auto loan. Not only did they receive and confirm receipt of these two payments in XXXX, but a payment large enough to cover 2 months were also made in the month of XX/XX/XXXX. NOTE : XX/XX/XXXX payment was never late. I filed a dispute with the lender directly after several attempts to resolve this countless phone calls, emails, letters, and even copies of my bank statements well enough is enough. This is an internal problem with the staff and management of this lender they need to be investigated and possibly sued for damages. Onward I was reported 60 days late on XX/XX/XXXX after filing my initial dispute they updated the reporting to 30 days, Well this is still incorrect so I initiated another dispute with all three bureaus each time the lender has creatively updating my file but never removed or correcting the 30 days late XXXX notice it showed updated but nothing changed, XXXX noticed the 60days was changed to 30 days, XXXX was up dated added how much I paid on my loan each month because I always pay more than my amount due. A third dispute was requested now XXXX is refusing to reinvestigate. I have sent supporting documents showing this is their error. Recently they updated my credit report adding a late payment for XX/XX/XXXX ILLEGAL in XXXX causing my XXXX  score to drop further. My account and credit file clearly state for the year XXXX, I made 12 on-time payments another error. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX have a responsibility to the consumer public to do their due diligence, and that's making sure that information is accurately reported otherwise disputes are properly investigated. The terms of my installment loan grant a 10-day grace period, therefore, I have until the 10th day of the following month to make my payments before payment is considered late and a late fee is XXXX, not a bureau reporting. I provided proof these payments weren't late not even to get a fee XXXX. This lender is the liar and thief here I am the victim, the victim of credit discrimination. As a result of this reporting error and how my dispute has been handled, I am forced to seek further action in this matter and will continue to dispute this account until the reporting is satisfactory. The terms of my installment loan grants a 10-day grace period, therefore, I have until the 10th day of the following month to make my payments before a late fee is XXXX, not a bureau reporting The balance of this loan is around XXXX not XXXX the lender should be shut down.

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (NJ)

PNC Bank credit card payment of {$1300.00} was due on XX/XX/year> out of which {$500.00} was paid on XX/XX/year> and balance {$890.00} was paid on XX/XX/year>. On my recent statement I was shocked to see interest charge of {$86.00} for not paying complete amount on the statement. They have charged interest on {$4700.00} and when I have asked XXXX different people on phone call no one had proper response and all they said is this is the interest you have to pay and it can not be reversed. 
During the same period, I had done the same thing on another credit card from XXXXXXXX XXXX against total charges of {$940.00}, I paid {$200.00} before due date of XX/XX/year> and paid balance {$740.00} on XXXX which is 2 days late but they have not charged me any interest on my recent statement. 
I am of the understanding all these interest charges are governed by XXXX regulations and this is the reason for my complain. Why is PNC Bank charging me interest not on the balance which was 3 days late but 6 times higher amount while XXXXXXXX XXXX has not charged any interest at all.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 MONTHS REPORTING 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.

This company 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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against the credit bureaus ( XXXX, EXPERIAN, XXXX ) regarding their handling of inaccurate information on my credit report, despite multiple attempts on my part to rectify the situation. Additionally, I have reason to believe that my personal information, including my Social Security Number ( SSN ), has been compromised, leading to fraudulent accounts being opened in my name.

Over the past several months, I have diligently attempted to address discrepancies on my credit report with the credit bureaus. Despite my efforts, the incorrect information persists, adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial standing. Furthermore, upon discovering the fraudulent activity, I promptly filed a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Fraud Affidavit to document the unauthorized use of my personal information.

One specific instance involves an account listed as in collections by the XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon requesting debt validation, XXXX XXXX has confirmed that they have no record of such an account associated with my name or SSN. This discrepancy clearly indicates fraudulent activity, yet the credit bureaus have failed to take appropriate action to remove the erroneous information from my credit file.

As a consumer protected under the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), I am demanding that the collection item be promptly removed from my credit report. Failure to do so would not only be a violation of my rights as a consumer but would also implicate the credit bureaus in aiding and abetting illegal actions.

I am seeking your assistance in ensuring that the credit bureaus comply with federal regulations and take immediate steps to rectify this situation. I request a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies on my credit report and prompt resolution of any fraudulent accounts opened in my name.

Please find enclosed copies of relevant documentation, including my FTC Fraud Affidavit and correspondence with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a timely resolution.

Thank you for your assistance in this urgent matter.
