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 months that are reported 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 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

" I am reaching out to address a concerning matter regarding the accuracy of my personal information within your records. Upon reviewing my account/profile, I have identified several instances of inaccurate information that require immediate attention.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Against TransUnion for Failure to Acknowledge Proper Documentation of Proof of Address Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for their failure to acknowledge the proper documentation of proof of address that I provided in my dispute letter dated XX/XX/year>. 

Background : On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute letter to TransUnion challenging inaccuracies on my credit report. Enclosed with my dispute letter, I provided the following notarized documents as proof of my identity and address : A copy of my driver 's license A copy of my Social Security card A proof of residence document These documents were included to fulfill TransUnion 's requirements for verifying my identity and address. I took extra care to ensure that all provided documentation was clear, legible, and properly notarized. 

Issue : Despite submitting all necessary and properly notarized documents, I received a response from TransUnion stating that my dispute could not be processed because I did not include the proper documentation for proof of address. This response is both inaccurate and unjustified, as I have complied with all the requirements set forth by TransUnion. 

Violation of Rights : TransUnion 's failure to acknowledge and properly review the provided documentation is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and must be provided with a fair and reasonable investigation of their dispute. By ignoring the documentation I provided, TransUnion has failed to uphold their obligation to conduct a fair investigation, thereby violating my consumer rights

Complaint narrative:
" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo, Im very disappointed in the service I have received from this company! You have Defrauded and taken advantage of the elderly and I have been a loyal member and in good standing with this company for years!

I am contacting you regarding an ongoing issue with my Wells Fargo account that I have been attempting to resolve. My name is XXXX XXXX, and I have been a dedicated customer for over 40 years. Recently, I encountered a problem that made me feel unappreciated due to an unresolved matter and a lack of empathy. On XX/XX/year>, I wrote a check for {$37.00} to my phone bill company, but they claimed it was late. I sent another check for {$76.00} to cover the missed payments, but they said they never received it. I then made a payment over the phone to avoid service interruption. Subsequently, I discovered {$3400.00} was removed from my account due to a personal check that I did not authorize. Despite my inquiries, the bank refused to provide details and escalated the matter to their fraud department. Upon their return to me, they determined it was not a case of fraud. I made a request to the bank for the check that had been written, and they sent me the checks written in XXXX and XXXX. The check in question was made out to XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$3400.00} with the check number XXXX dated XX/XX/year>, which struck me as odd since I had already used that check number to pay other bills. Additionally, the amount was alarming, as I never spend over {$200.00} on any purchases and do not write personal checks to anyone. I would like this matter to be further investigated, as a significant amount of money was taken without my knowledge, and I have not received any explanation as to why this was allowed to happen. I have documentation of the checks sent by Wells Fargo, as well as the letter I received in the mail regarding my late phone bill payment, which should not have occurred. As a fraud department, you are supposed investigate throughly! you can clearly see the checks look altered and the writing is different! I did not write this check you can clearly tell. Also, you have the means to see who this person is! Please can you help me? 
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss how to resolve this matter. Thank you. 
Cell Phone : XXXX
