Consumer complaint received 2024-04-02
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Other personal consumer report
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing issue — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: FIRST HORIZON BANK (TN)

I have an online banking mobile account with First Horizon Bank. On the App it showed five accounts listing the last four digits of the account numbers. I asked for the complete account numbers and was told apparently they must be old accounts and we only maintain the records for five years. After having contacted customer service several times no one has been able to provide me with the full accounts numbers. Because these accounts recently appeared on my home Preference page repeatedly since XX/XX/2023, I believe they must be valid accounts and not more than five years old. One online Rep stated she could see my name on the accounts but could not see the whole numbers. After physically going into several branches I was told all records are destroyed after five years. I was reminded of the Depositor Agreement to arbitrate the complaint if I wish to go further. Once before I was forced to arbitrate a complaint which was one-sided with the arbitrator in favor of the bank. This time after doing some research on the XXXX and the XXXX, I am confused as to whether my rights are being deprived under the state bank 's arbitration agreement and whether all bank account records can be destroyed in such a small time frame.

The account with XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ( Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  Balance : {$2600.00} ) is reported with an inaccurate Balance. I do not recall owing such a high amount.

I made a purchase for {$440.00} that had a 0 % promotion for 12 months. I made the first minimum payment of {$37.00}. In the same month I made a {$3000.00} purchase and payed off the {$3000.00}. The next statement they had removed the promotion and stated I paid the promotion off with the {$3000.00} payment. The {$3000.00} payment was above the minimum due that month, they applied the payment to the non-interest balance rather then the interest bearing balance. When I contacted them I was told there was nothing the person could do other than connect me to management. I have been on hold waiting for management for more than 30 minutes. It is clear they are waiting for me to hang up. This was also my second call, the first call they told me to call an XXXX number as it was their problem. XXXX sent me back to Chase. This is a Chase XXXX XXXX rewards card.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

My accounts 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 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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!

- After four years of owning my beloved XXXX XXXX, it stopped running during a WI winter, I needed a vehicle so I searched online- I found an SUV with a {$5500.00} sticker price - I had {$5000.00} cash on hand, and was willing to pay in full - Dealership declined as I was short {$500.00} and convinced me to accept a deal that required {$1500.00} down payment if car loan was opened. He pitched a guaranteed increase in credit score, price tag would not change, and any malfunctions would be covered if added on Gap insurance and warranty, all because he could not budge on the cash offer - I left that night, he called me back with a better deal desperate for a car I return via XXXX, car seat in tow - He offered to trade my inoperable car for to shave the cost down. 
- I agreed to the terms and initiated the car loan XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX - During signing it was revealed the true cost would total nearly XXXX. Which, although I was upset about the hidden fees, I could not refuse due to my need to get back and forth to work and my 18 month old to child care - By XX/XX/XXXX, the truck 's engine went out - I went back and forth between warranty holders, credit acceptance and XXXX XXXX regarding coverage for the vehicle 's engine- this was a three month process - Continued to pay in full for 8 months XXXX - XXXX {$480.00} ~ XXXX paid off - In XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX I was informed Insurance, nor warranty did not cover the costs of the {$7000.00} job as quoted by XXXX- I then called Credit acceptance and informed them that the cost of the repair exceeded the cost of the vehicle and I would like to use the remainder of my loan to acquire a new vehicle. To which they stated they could not help, but I had to continue to make those payments to settle to XXXX debt. Around this time they quoted and reported to the credit bureaus that it was an {$8500.00} debt ( the amount the loan began with ) - During another phone conversation with CAC in XXXX of XXXX, I informed the supervisor that I wanted to surrender the vehicle, to which they denied me the right. 

- In XXXX of XXXX, I called CAC to once again come to an agreement. The associate explained there was nothing they could do and I still need to pay every month. I explained to them that I will not continue paying the nearly {$500.00} bill for a vehicle that hasnt worked in months, so it would be best if they just picked it up. 
- By the end of the month, CAC repossessed the vehicle, closed the account and reported to the credit bureaus an involuntary repossession - After repossession, the vehicle was sold in a local auction - 3 years later, Credit Acceptance is reporting increasing values to credit bureaus, with a balance now exceeding {$9400.00}

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (RI)

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, Section 602a ), it is imperative to ensure that consumer reporting agencies conduct their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a regard for the consumer 's right to privacy. Equifax and XXXX, being consumer reporting agencies, interact with me as the consumer. I possess the right to safeguard my private information, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which dictates that financial institutions have an ongoing obligation to respect customer privacy and safeguard nonpublic personal information. XXXX XXXX falls under the definition of a financial institution in compliance with this policy. Under 15 USC 1681, Section 604a, Subsection 2, it is stated that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only upon the written instructions of the relevant consumer. Both XXXX XXXX and the consumer reporting agencies, Equifax and XXXX, do not possess my consent to disclose this information, nor do they possess my written consent. I hereby revoke any and all forms of consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) specifies that a financial institution can not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without informing the consumer of their right to exercise a nondisclosure option. XXXX XXXX never informed me of my right to exercise this option. Furthermore, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) explicitly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including certain adverse information in consumer reports without authorization. This account is being reported as adverse without my permission, which is in violation of the law. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies, and 15 U.S. Code 1681e requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations of Section 1681c and restrict the furnishing of consumer reports to specified purposes. Equifax and XXXX appear to be failing to maintain reasonable procedures. Moreover, 12 CFR 1016.7 affirms my right to opt out of reporting services at any time. Therefore, I am exercising my right to opt out of your reporting services Immediate deletion of account and {$1000.00} per violation

Your efficiency and prompt attention to correcting some of the adverse information previously stated on my credit file is appreciated, yet there are still items that need to be addressed again and corrected immediately.
