XXXX  XXXX like the others gave me an additional period of time to recovery ( 60 days ), and ensured me that no negative references would be reported to the credit bureaus. I missed two payments in XXXX and XXXX ( as I did with all my other creditors ) and they reported me ( none of my other creditors reported me late, with the exception of XXXX XXXX ) and my score dropped 100 points. I immediately wrote them to protest their action, but to no effect. They deny their promise to me that was made and refuse to delete the negative reference on my credit report. 

I have not gone over 30 days on a payment to a creditor since XXXX. I have three mortgages and seven credit cards and take personal credit rating very seriously. Specifically with XXXX XXXX, i have had the account since XXXX, have a credit limit f {$20000.00} and and never gone over 30 days.

Subjet : Formal Complaint : Fraudulent Hard Inquiry by " XXXX '' on Equifax Credit report. 

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a fraudulent hard inquiry listed on my Equifax credit report by " XXXX ''. This inquiry was not initiated or authorized by me, and despite multiple attempts to dispute it, Equifax has failed to rectify the situation appropriately. 

On XXXX separate occasions, I have submitted disputes to Equifax regarding this unauthorized inquiry. However, each time, Equifax has simply reported the inquiry as accurate without providing any documented proof or conducting a thorough investigation. This lack of transparency and accountability is deeply troubling and has left me feeling frustrated and disregarded. 

I am appalled by Equifax 's failure to adhere to their responsibility of ensuring the accuracy of credit reporting information. It is clear that their handling of this matter has been inadequate and negligent, and I feel that my rights as a consumer have been violated as a result. 

I urgently request that this dispute be escalated to the highest level within Equifax to ensure a swift and thorough investigation. I demand that Equifax take immediate action to remove this fraudulent hard inquiry from my credit report. 

I implore the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and hold Equifax accountable for their egregious mishandling of my dispute. I expect nothing less than a prompt and expeditious resolution to this issue. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 2016-02-11
Product: Credit card — 
Issue: APR or interest rate — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (SC)

I first obtained this credit card in approximately XXXX, as a XXXX XXXX branded credit card. I do not recall the bank who serviced the card at that time. I obtained the card because it was marketed as a FIXED RATE 9.99 % card. The marketing promised that this rate would not change. And for the last thirteen years it has not. Other than occasional 0 % balance transfer promotions, I have been paying 9.99 % APR since the inception of the card. On my XXXX bill, I noticed that the rate has been raised to 10.24 %, for no apparent reason. When I inquired about this, I was told that the federal funds rate increased on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and so, in turn, did my rate. But this makes no sense. At the time I obtained the card, the fed funds rate was XXXX higher than it is now. So, why then over the last eight years when the fed funds rate was XXXX have I not been paying less? The card was specifically marketed as having a fixed rate for the life of the card. When I pressed the issue the agent said she could not help me and directed me to call " retention services, '' which is, as I understand it, their sales unit. Why on earth would I buy a new product ( and allow a new hard inquiry on my report ) from a company that is behaving in such an underhanded way?

Synchrony bank closed my Lowes credit card without cause. I have made all payments on time and never missed a payment. Then they recently ( within the last 6 months ) issued me a brand new rewards credit card that was set to expire XX/XX/2032, but recently closed account without warning. They also listed the reason fraudulently on my credit report as a charge and that is incorrect. Synchrony Bank has been doing this across the board to consumers, while capitalizing on brick and mortar stores, giving consumers credit, and then abruptly closing consumers accounts who have been great customers paying their bills on time. This also hurts the stores, because they lose tons of business from good paying customers who pay their bills.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

A charge off account is showing on my report & the creditor told me that I can not get a copy of the 1099-C document because they did not officially charge off the debt and they didn't take a write off which is a violation because it says on my credit report that it is charged off which equates to false reporting & not reporting 100 % accurately. FCRA violations refers to a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which is a federal law that regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information. Federal law requires that consumer reporting agencies follow reasonable procedures to ensure 100 % accuracy of the information contained in their credit reports. If a consumer suffers damages as a result of a FCRA violation they may be entitled to bring a private lawsuit against the CRA and recover actual damages, statutory damages, and attorney 's fees. These accounts listed on my letter are not 100 % correct and I demand them to be investigated completely.
