Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Information is not mine
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

Equifax refused to remove collection item from my credit report after providing them with all the necessary documents that show I am not liable for the collection item. 

BACKGROUND : XXXX XXXX, XXXX posted a collection item on my credit report. I called to inquire about the item and a representative named XXXX and XXXX were extremely rude and disrespectful and insulted me several times. I told her the information she had was wrong and that I would email her an up to date contract that shows I do not owe anything. She refused to accept the notarized contract and called me unintelligent enough to understand. She also refused to allow me to speak with her supervisor before hanging up on me. I have no responsibility to this debt as the real lease agreement was broken by the property owner. I have pictures that show there was no property damage and the real lease agreement is public record filed with the XXXX County Recorder of Deeds under the property address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IL. XXXX XXXX refused to acknowledge the real lease agreement and insulted me numerous time. They never sent a notice about this debt before posting it to my credit report. There communication tactics are horrible. They make false statements and never accept real documents. XXXX and XXXX should be fired and XXXX XXXX should be closed down. The real lease is attached, notarized, and documented with the XXXX county recorder of deed, signed by myself and the property owner.

Issue: Credit card protection / Debt protection — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (GA)

I was provided a new replacement credit card by my financial institution because the account information had been compromised. However, to my shock, they are still permitting the existing vendors ( with my old credit card information ) to continue charging me. When I asked them how the vendor got my new credit card information, the financial institution said that they provided the new account information to the vendors to make it convenient for the existing vendors with recurring charges to continue charging me. 

I said, does n't it defeat the purpose of providing the new credit card? They said, this is the bank policy. 

In this case, the financial institution is more concerned about the vendor than the consumer. 

They should be forced to change their policy.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding the ongoing issue of fraudulent items persisting despite repeated attempts to remove them. As a customer/client/member of Credit Bureaus, I expect transparency, reliability, and prompt action in addressing such matters.

I have made several attempts to report and have fraudulent items removed from my credit file. However, despite my efforts and numerous notifications, these items continue to exist unabated. This not only undermines my trust in your organization 's integrity but also poses a significant risk to my personal information and financial security.

I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this situation. Specifically, I request the following actions : Conduct a thorough investigation into the root cause of the issue, including any potential vulnerabilities in your systems or processes that may be enabling fraudulent activities to persist.

Implement robust measures to prevent further occurrences of fraudulent items and ensure the security of customer accounts and data. 

Provide clear and timely communication to affected customers, including updates on the status of investigations and actions taken to address the issue. 

Offer appropriate compensation or restitution to customers who have been adversely affected by the presence of fraudulent items, such as refunds or account credits. 

Review and improve your customer support and complaint resolution procedures to ensure that issues are addressed promptly and effectively in the future. 

I expect a prompt response to this complaint and a commitment from Credit Bureaus to address these concerns with the seriousness and urgency they deserve. Failure to do so will force me to consider alternative courses of action, including escalating this matter to relevant regulatory authorities or seeking legal recourse. I am asking for your assisstance to remove these fraud items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

I sent my monthly credit card payment on a timely manner however because of the sanitary emergency apparently the US Postal Service delayed the delivery of my payment and as consequence my payment was received by the bank one day late. 

Capital one has charged me a fee of XXXX dollars on XX/XX/20 because of the payment being late one day. I strongly dont agree with the late fee charge not because the amount fo the charge is because of the principal/action of the bank. It really bothers me that not even the sanitary emergency makes them human and sensitive to what is going on on the world. 

Capital One is a bank that they only care money and they dont care people their customers. It is a very irrational bank that should be punished by the regulatory agency as they are not considerate with what we all are living now. 

This bank has no moral and no mercy and they believe that with their actions they will be richest. Again, what bothers me me is their injustice and stupidity I dont know in what world they live in. If they doing this to me I can imagen what else they can be doing to others that really needs help and support. This action should be punished and to be published so people dont do business with them anymore.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically referenced in 15 USC 1681a Section 603, a 'consumer report ' encompasses any information communicated by a consumer reporting agency that reflects upon a consumers credit-related attributes, including credit worthiness, standing, and capacity, as well as character, reputation, personal traits, or lifestyle. Such reports are instrumental in determining a consumer 's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, or other authorized purposes as delineated in Section 604 [ 1681b ].

However, it's crucial to note the exclusion clause, ( 15 USC 1681a Section 603 ( 2 ) which states that information pertaining solely to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity does not constitute a 'consumer report '. This encompasses reports on transactional payments and credit utilization experiences. Also according to section 604 A section 2 : also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I have never given any agency or entity written instructions to do so. According to 15 USC 1681c. section 605 ( a ) ( 5 ) states no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

Upon meticulous review, it is evident that this exclusion and the above-mentioned regulations have been repeatedly violated by credit reporting agencies and the entities reporting to them, as listed below. These violations have directly impacted my credit standing and financial opportunities. The dissemination of information beyond the permissible scope as defined in the FCRA represents a clear breach of my rights as a consumer.

I had applied for a bank of america credit card. They issued a wrong card with different benefits. In fact the card they issued had no benefits at all. When i was talking to rep about it, i was mis informed that if i cancel the card without activating it or putting any charge on it, it would not be reported to the credit bureaus. That made cancel that card and another card for my wife which was never activated. @ weeks later XXXX cards are on our credit report as closed by consumer. Not only are they not clearing that, they are not letting me re-open those cards. This is hurting my credit. When i called back to inquire about, they are brushing it off as mis information on part of the agent and not offering any solution.
