Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the Bureaus a XXXX ago, but sadly, the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they have properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is extremely frustrating! Over XXXX days have passed since I filed my complaint, and the disputed accounts remain unchanged. If this persists, I may have to consider legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I'm worried about the security of my personal information, especially after the data breach involving XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
when I called about why I was unable to use my cc I was told I had suspicious activity on my card and they stopped the use of my card in XX/XX/year>. The card was released, I was allowed to charge on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, and it was held again. When I called again they stated I had suspicious activity and they needed to verify who I was by sending my driver 's license to them. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with a representative on the phone and she provided me with the fax number to send my driver 's license I sent it at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked the representative if they could verify if the fax were sent she stated that they could not and it would take 2 weeks to confirm the fax would be received and to call back in two weeks. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and was told my account was closed because no documents had been received in 40 days. If I was not able to verify if the fax was not received from their end for two weeks but received a confirmation on my side why should my account be closed? I never reported fraud activity on my account and my account has been paid in full. There was no reason to hold my account, verify my account, or close this account if I never reported anything. The practices they are using are not fair to me as a consumer as I was not allowed in any part of decision-making or given accurate communication from them about the status of this account.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with 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 my 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 to be removed/updated. 

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.

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!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the legal principle " Notice to an agent is notice to a principal, and notice to a principal is notice to an agent, '' I am writing to you regarding the information reported on my credit report. 

I have received a copy of my credit report provided by Equifax, and I have noticed that transactions related to the XXXX XXXX XXXX account with the number XXXX have been incorrectly marked as late payments and reported by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. 

According to FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) : Exclusions. Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term " consumer report '' does not include : ( i ) Reports that contain only information about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. 

This means that consumer transactions are excluded from consumer reports. FICO and/or any other risk score or algorithm used to calculate a consumers credit score is not part of what defines a " consumer report '' under the law. The legal definition of a consumer report is as follows : Consumer report. The term " consumer report '' refers to any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency that relates to a consumers creditworthiness, credit standing, character, general reputation, or mode of living, and that is used or expected to be used in whole or in part as a factor to determine the consumer 's eligibility for : ( a ) credit or insurance for personal, family, or household purposes ; ( b ) employment purposes; or ( c ) any other purpose authorized under section 1681b of the title. 

FICO or any other credit scoring algorithm is not defined or included in this legal definition of a consumer report. Therefore, the report of transactions between the consumer ( myself ) and the entity ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) constitutes a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681a. 

Additionally, according to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, on the timing of payments : Timing of payments. A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement, including the information required by Section 1637 ( b ), is sent or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date.
