Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NV)

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  This company is showing a past due payment in XX/XX/2018.

They can not and will not provide statements and payment authorizations to solidify the data on my credit report. 

in XXXX 2018 I called customer service to change my payment due date and statement date as well as make a payment. The company did not reflect the updates and are reporting a late payment on my account although the account was never past due and/or paid late per the contract. 

I need this late payment removed from my credit report or changed to an on time payment immediately as it is hindering me from obtaining necessary financial products and services.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (SC)

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX XXXX XXXX, has violated my rights. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C 1666B : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose The goal in the headline of the letter is always to setup a situation where the burden of proof relies on the consumer reporting agency ( Credit Bureau ). You do not want to make a specific claim about a specific account in the first-round investigation request letter. The reasoning for this is called factual disputing methodology. Making a claim of Not Mine or Never had account when the account is yours invalidates the claim if it is in fact yours. Write as if you are a consumer without the fancy jargon in this round to prevent it being misinterpreted as coming from a credit repair company. 
You cant go wrong with quoting 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i, since it is very broad and covers Procedures in case of disputed accuracy. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), and 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( C ) covers the general investigation overview, the extension of the period to reinvestigate, and the limitations on extension of the period to investigate, while 1681i ( a ) ( 2 ) covers the promptness in how the bureaus must handle the notifications. 1681i ( a ) ( 3 ) covers if and how the bureaus can determine if a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, all the way to 1681i ( f ) ( 3 ) where it governs how a CRA notifies a consumer through a reseller ( XXXX XXXX ) ( MyFICO ) and others who furnish third party disputes free of charge, etc. 

Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit

Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (TX)

My friend referred me to their savings account that offers an extra 1 % APY for 3 months for the persons who referred and who was referred. You get an additional 1 % APY for each additional referral you make ( up to 5 per year ). I accepted the referral, so my friend and I should have 4.3 % APY for 3 months. I then referred my mother and brother, so I should have 9 months total of 4.3 % APY. However, my friend wasn't credited for referring me and I wasn't credited as being a referred new member. Thus, she has no referrals listed and I only have 1 referral on my checklist. We have plenty of evidence supporting being an issue on their end and have spoke to the bank multiple times via phone and chat ( including one time where they required us both to be on the phone at the same time, forcing us to reveal our private information to each other, and then gave us a " tech ticket '' that was never followed through on. I've spent hours with them and they continue to promise it's fixed and then don't. I just got off a call with them today and now they're telling me they won't do it at all. We continue to be given the run around and denied the timely adherence to the terms we agreed to when creating our accounts. I seriously question whether this is intentional avoidance of adhering to the terms.
