What is Section 623 of the FCRA? 
Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ). If a consumer notifies a furnisher that the consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of any information reported by the furnisher, the furnisher may not subsequently report that information to a CRA without providing notice of the dispute. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., governs access to consumer credit report records and promotes accuracy, fairness, and the privacy of personal information assembled by Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ). 

Data management errors such as information that appears again as incorrect when it was previously corrected. 

The above reasons state the crippling error that all credit companies have displayed and not rectified except for XXXX who realizes that it is a data error and with that the other two remain in violation of the FCRA and should be put notice. XXXX made a grave error and seems to not be willing to rectify it..

Company: COLUMBIA BANKING SYSTEM, INC. (VA)

I acquired a commercial vehicle from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/21 that was financed by Financial Pacific Leasing. In the lead up to the sale, XXXX passed me onto two separate brokers that were responsible for executing the contract. The brokers, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did not fully explain the terms of the agreement. Several months after I took possession of the vehicle, I learned that I 1 ) signed a " Equipment Finance Agreement '' and 2 ) despite acquiring the truck for {$79.00}, xxx I owed {$120.00}, xxx on day one. The brokers only showed me the monthly payments but did illustrate how interest is packed into the loan up front. At this point, my business has collapsed ( along with thousands of other small trucking businesses ) and I am trying to negotiate a buyout with Financial Pacific Leasing. I have paid more than {$28000.00} towards the loan yet they are demanding a settlement in the amount of {$75000.00} to settle the contract. My complaint is no different from those mentioned in a class action lawsuit against Financial Pacific 's parent company as well as a number of consumers who have levied complaints to the XXXX  since the beginning of the year. Over the last weeks, I have worked tirelessly to reach a settlement with Financial Pacific but to no avail. I believe that the process was not transparent, and I am calling on Financial Pacific to come to a fair, amicable, and just resolution.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: U.S. BANCORP (MI)

My payment is due on the first of each month. On XX/XX/18 according to my phone record, I made my payment at XXXX Eastern time. When I received my next statement I had a late fee of {$27.00}. 

XXXX credit statement does not give clear information on the time phone/internet payments are due. It only states " crediting times vary, but generally must be made before XXXX XXXX   CT to XXXX XXXX CT depending on what day and how the payment is made. If you are making an internet/telephone payment please contact Cardmember Service for times specific to your Account and your payment option. '' However, when you call there are extremely long wait times to speak to a customer service representative. I waited 25 minutes before finally hanging up. After several attempts and further waiting on hold, I was eventually able to speak to someone. The person was extremely rude and kept cutting me off and talking over me. I finally took down his name, which was XXXX, operator # XXXX, and because of his extreme rudeness I requested to speak to a supervisor. He kept demanding to know why I wanted a supervisor and it took a long time with him yelling at me before I finally was put through to a supervisor named XXXX. 

XXXX was slightly better to deal with. He explained that phone payments have to be received by XXXX CT. I explained that according to my records I made my payment at XXXX ET ( XXXX CT. ) He said that their records showed my payment not being made until XXXX ET. I questioned the accuracy of this, but he was determined his records were the correct ones, not mine. He did, however, remove the late fee, but this was a lot of hassle to go through. And, my understanding is that the CARD ACT requires that payments be credited on the day they are received. All of my other credit cards have a cutoff time of XXXX ( in their respective time zone. ) If phone payments are due at XXXX CT, why isn't this stated clearly on the statement? It seems like this system is designed to trip people up so they can collect more late fees. Customer service is poor and it is very difficult to get through to someone.
