Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within XXXX days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

In XX/XX/year> I discovered accounts reporting on my credit reports that I never opened. I do not recognize any of the account information. And I never engaged in any business with the companies named on the accounts. The credit reporting agencies, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax have a duty to ensure that they are reporting fair and accurate information but they have failed to do so. How can a credit reporting agency be handling private financial information and make a mistake like this? Since then my credit standing and reputation is being damaged more and more daily. I am seeking redress and equitable relief for the fraudulent account information to be deleted from my credit report within 4 days from the receipt of my notice of dispute. The fraudulent accounts are : XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Dear TransUnion, I am writing to express my frustration and confusion regarding the repeated responses I have received from your company regarding the status of the disputed account. FCRA Section 607 ( a ) ( 4 ) - Consumer Right to Privacy : I have the sole authority to determine what information should be considered private. I insist that this information not be shared on my credit report. 

Despite providing new and relevant information that clearly demonstrates the inaccuracy of the account in question, I continue to receive the same letter stating that the account has been verified. This leads me to question whether my information was adequately considered during your investigation process, and whether it was forwarded to the court for verification. I am interested in learning about your interactions with court representatives, including their full contact details. 

You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

" XXXX  XXXX Bankruptcy '' with Reference # : XXXX. 
Account is reporting when the US bankruptcy court does not report to anyone. This is a Violation of my privacy. Please delete. 

Please delete this account immediately for failing to do your due diligence making sure everything is 100 % accurate on my report. 

While I may not be an expert on credit bureaus and credit reports, I have conducted research that leads me to question the reliability of the XXXX system that is reportedly used for investigations. I understand that this system may not always provide accurate results, and it is unfair to rely solely on it for verification purposes. 

Furthermore, my research on the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) website indicates that credit bureaus are required to conduct thorough investigations rather than simply parroting information provided by creditors and collection agencies. Failure to do so may result in legal action under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I am reaching out to you with the hope of resolving this matter amicably. However, if your company chooses not to take appropriate action, I will have no choice but to file multiple complaints and seek legal advice from an FCRA attorney. 

I urge you to conduct a new and thorough investigation into the disputed account and take the necessary steps to correct this issue promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 in my account to be removed.

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.

XXXX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
A formal complaint was filed with Consumer Finance ( # XXXX ) against Synchrony Bank regarding issues with transactions and a loss of payment amounting to {$500.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, an additional payment of {$400.00} was made, yet this transaction was also marked as late, despite being paid early, resulting in the imposition of late fees. Although Synchrony Bank corrected the accounts, they subsequently reduced our credit limit in retaliation and are attempting to close the account. 

I have made multiple inquiries to understand their business practices. We have consistently made substantial payments to the account, often before the due date. I communicated to a Synchrony representative that the frequent changes in due dates create difficulties in posting payments on time and result in irregular late fees. If this is their standard administrative practice, the collection of late fees from customers would be disproportionately high. For instance, a customer might expect their payment due date to be the XXXX of the month, but Synchrony could change it to the XXXX, leading to a late charge. 

I believe these business practices are unethical. Therefore, I am requesting that Synchrony Bank restore my credit limit to the original {$2000.00}, as we have never been late on this account, and ensure the account is in good standing.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to urgently address ongoing inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to rectify these issues through dispute letters, I am dismayed to find that my credit report continues to contain errors that are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

As per the FCRA, it is imperative that all information on my credit report is 100 % accurate. However, after reviewing the relevant sections of the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), it is evident that several accounts are not reporting information accurately.

Attached, you will find copies of all dispute letters previously sent for your reference. This serves as my final warning before considering further action to address these inaccuracies. 

I urge you to take immediate steps to rectify these errors and ensure that my credit report reflects accurate information in compliance with federal law.
