XXXX XXXX is not acting in good faith to fulfill my request to investigate my car loan. I paid my loan via their website. Due to a technical issue on their site my payment apparently never went through. XXXX XXXX failed to notify me electronically of the 'late ' account until it was well past due and has now very negatively affected my credit score. I will file complaints with every regulatory agency I can until my credit score is adjusted.

On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

I had my wife deposit a check she was told the check would have a two day hold. 24 hours later she was called and informed that it would not be released in two days. It would be a 7 day hold. I felt like my wife was lied to. I asked for the check so I can go to the bank from where was from they said no. As a small business owner it already took me over 30 days to get the check from the company I worked for to hear my bank was holding it for another 7 was unacceptable because I needed the money released to pay for my bills.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am writing to formally file a complaint against Equifax located in XXXX, GA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, resulting in significant financial and emotional distress. To begin with, they have reported an erroneous and unverifiable account on my credit report, and despite my requests for proof of claim as per the FCRA, they have been unable to provide the necessary documentation. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve this issue over the past several months, Equifax has consistently ignored my communications and legal submissions aimed at removing this inaccurate information from my credit report. It is disheartening to note that there are numerous other complaints against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices, yet they continue to operate. The unprofessional and negligent behavior of Equifax has inflicted severe harm not only on my ability to establish credit and secure favorable interest rates but also on my professional reputation and personal well-being. I implore you to assist not only me but also other consumers facing similar issues by putting an immediate stop to these unethical and immoral business practices. I genuinely appreciate your time and assistance in addressing this matter and eagerly await your response.

Bank advertises transactions will take 1 to 2 business days to clear. 
In my experience this is accurate when making deposits into the account. The day following the transfer request I can see the money in BMO Alto account. 

I requested a withdrawal out of the BMO account to a linked external account Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX at around XXXX. As of the date of this complaint it is XXXX Friday XX/XX/XXXX so going on to four days since transaction was initiated and the Bank has still not approved the transfer. I needed the money for today XX/XX/XXXX so I now need to use a credit card to make this payment which will cause me to incur additional fees. 

BMO alto does not allow you to speak to any supervisor. I've called approximately 8 times over the last 3-4 days and each time I was advised that a supervisor was not available and there is no mechanism in place to reach a supervisor. I was provided with the Bank 's fraud dept phone number as I had been advised that my withdrawal was flagged for fraud review. Unfortunately the number provided is an unmonitored number. I would call and wait for about 8 minutes and then get a message that mailbox is full and it would disconnect.

OCWEN continues its deceptive and misleading servicing practices and refuses to correct errors on my mortgage bill statem ent. Ocwen charged me {$110.00} for a property valuation expense, mortgage account statement shows. OCWEN claims " the property valuation was completed i n response to a request for a loan modification, in which we needed to obtain a fair market value of the property ''. The question is not whether a request for mortgage assistance was submitted. The question is why am I charged {$110.00} for a property valuation when there was no advanced notice and consent given by me. I submitted a request for mortgage assistance. I did not request, accept, or approve of any valuation of the property, period. I had no idea a request for mortgage assistance automatically triggered a {$110.00} property valuation fee to my bill. This is a complete scam! OCWEN failed to give any advanced notice of a property valuation expense, or even ask for my consent. Please immediately remove the {$110.00} property valuation expense and send me a corrected mortgage statement.
