Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the following late payment entries on my credit report XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - {$0.00} These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my actual payment history. I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial stress and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Ongoing Harm : Despite corrective measures, I have experienced fraudulent activity and credit issues as a direct consequence of the breach.

My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 in 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. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
I am formally submitting a complaint against First National Bank of Omaha, located in XXXX, XXXX, for unlawfully not allowing me to open up an election account via XXXX without an upfront payment of {$100.00} to cover election expenses over {$5000.00}. The events took place approximately XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I visited in person the First National Bank of Omaha, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX and the First National Bank of Omaha, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX. Both locations denied me the right to the election account even though the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) process that would have needed to be completed was already thoroughly done. 

Nebraska state statue states any account that makes over {$5000.00} in campaign donations would need to pay a fee of {$100.00} to the Secretary of State. This fee is not a pre request, but post request. I was unlawfully denied the account and my civil, and financial rights were violated not only with First National Bank of Omaha, but in congruence with the Nebraska Office of the Secretary of State as because they get paid through the banks they do not enforce the civil rights portion of it. As of today XX/XX/XXXX I was able to successfully win my election without spending any money, nor opening up any additional bank accounts, nor with any XXXX filing, which proves I never would have accumulated {$5000.00} or more in campaign donations, and therefore would not have needed to pay the {$100.00} fee as First National Bank , and the Nebraska Secretary of the State office was corroborating in forcing me to pay. I also spoke to several members from the Nebraska Secretary of State office seeking clarification, in which I was told I would need to speak to the State Attorney. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX I am still waiting on the attorney to call as what was told to me would happen. I am looking to seek retribution on this matter in which negotiations at that time can be discussed in further details. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
