To address my case effectively, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) should promptly review all relevant documentation and evidence, thoroughly investigate the issues at hand, and ensure that all involved parties are held accountable according to the law. They should also provide clear communication regarding the progress of the investigation and offer guidance on any additional steps I may need to take to resolve the situation. Ensuring consumer protection and upholding fair practices should be their priority.

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX, NC XXXX Dear sir, I need to inquire the transaction made on XX/XX/year>, adjustment/correction of posted item, which I can not understand what it is. Your company has charged {$2.00} for this transaction which I do not recognize at all. I request the explanation. Since I hate the calls from any numbers, I prefer you will answer by secure message system inside of your online portal. On the same date, I have received calls from possible calls from your executive office of Bank of America twice. Somebody unknown who claimed he was an executive escalation employee of Bank of America called me. Since I do not know what he meant the escalation and I repeatedly reported that I do not like call since sometimes we receive the scam, phishing, and suspicious calls who claim themselves bankers or polices, as the XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I do not believe them. He told in these calls his number was XXXX ( ext. XXXX ). Maybe, he wanted to try to explain this unknown transaction of {$2.00} by phone. As warning from XXXX XXXX indicates, we, XXXX, become cautious for all financial transactions, except those who work in financial area. Anyway, please explain what this is adjustment/correction of posted item. If your company insists that I have asked some adjustment and correction, please let me know, since I do not know it at all. If there is no movement like that in my accounts, please refund {$2.00}. 
Since I do not like the phone calls, with strong suspicion and concern, that I might have the difficulty of communication and understanding as the person speaks XXXX as a second language, I do not want to have the financial explanation on phone. Also, I can not find out the alternative ways other than phone calls, I just report and mail it to your headquarters.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates XXXX XXXX XXXX. 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. 


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


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  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: National Enterprise Systems, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received a random phone call on my private home phone from a company called National Enterprise Systems at XXXX, when the woman came on the phone she demanded to know who I was and I expressed that I did not identify myself to a strange caller but if they want to ask for someone specifically, then I would let them know if " that '' person can be located at my number. When she would still not identify who she was calling, I asked for a supervisor and the supervisor came on the phone and tried the same tactic, refusing to say who they were calling at my number. I warned them that such a call is considered harassing when they can not identify who they are calling and demand my information without knowing who they are speaking with. This is not the first time they have called my number and refused to ask for a specific person, then claimed to take my number off their list. This is harassing and in my view, a harassing tactic to try to get consumer information without identifying who they are calling. I have had my number for over XXXX years and do not have ANY debt, but do have a verifiable Identity Theft on file so, not identifying who they are calling comes across as threatening and abusive... I have zero tolerance for this sort of harassment! I have recorded the call this time and fully intend to pursue harassment charges if this can not be settled reasonably.
