Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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 ( 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 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX 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: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I deposited a third party check XXXX {$2300.00} that was endorsed/made payable to me through BMO 's Mobile Deposit feature. I live in Texas and BMO does not have any branches in Texas therefore I could not deposit the check in person. My daughter locked her keys in her car last night so I had to call a locksmith to get the car open and when I went to pay them, the payment was declined. I called BMO and was told ( very rude and callously ) that my entire account was frozen and they were not allowed to tell me why. The young man told me that the " security '' department would have to tell me why but they were closed for the day and would reopen the next day at 8am. I had work meetings the next morning so I wasn't able to call right away and I expected to have a missed call or an email from the " security '' department about the matter but neither happened. So, around 12:30, I was able to call them again. This time I was told the reason for the freeze was the mobile deposit I made the day before. Apparently I need to visit a local branch to deposit a check that isn't made payable to me. The agent then looked for the nearest local branch ( just to find that there isn't one ). Then he said that he would email the " security '' department and have them email me a form to sign ( as well as the third party ) and have notarized so that my account can be unfrozen. That was hours ago and I still haven't received anything. The third party is leaving for vacation tomorrow which means he won't be available to have this document signed and notarized if we don't get it today. I explained this to the agent and he said he escalated it. Still nothing. I can completely understand the {$2300.00} check being frozen and not available for use until the bank can verify it. But I can not understand why MY funds that were ALREADY in my bank account are now frozen while this check is verified. I have ZERO funds for gas, food, emergencies, for anything that comes up. Tomorrow is Friday which means I will most likely have to go the next 3 days without access to my money. As a last resort, I asked the agent to just cancel the deposit all together and I would have the third party deposit it into their account and then just XXXX the money to my account but I was told that the deposit can not be cancelled. I'm at the complete mercy of this institution and they do not appear to understand the urgency. This is unacceptable and after reading over my BMO Bank N.A . Handbook - Deposit Account Agreement for Personal and Business Accounts, nothing in this agreement gives them the legal authority to withhold my funds from me. I need this resolved ASAP.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I, XXXX XXXX, took possession of the property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Therefore, let it be known that I, XXXX XXXX, do hereby claim the property at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX to be mine by right of possession and usage and do not recognize any counter claims secured through fraud such as the one being made by Alliant Credit Union who falsely secured the title to this property with bank credit fabricated from nothing thus failing to provide proper consideration. Let it be further knowing that any attempts to take this property from XXXX XXXX or deprive him of his rightful usage are illegal and a violation of his rights. Should attempts be made by any person public or private, the owner maintains his right to lethal self-defense and will do so with impunity according to the Make My Day law of the State of XXXX 

XXXX XXXX is open to receiving counter claims at his residence provided those claims can prove legitimate ownership. XXXX does not recognize claims of ownership that can not prove possession, usage, or a valid transfer of title. Any claims to a valid transfer of title that were secured with Federal Reserve Notes ( ie U.S. Dollars ) are dismissed as null and void, failing the requirements of contract law. Any precedent of lending institutions successfully using Federal Reserve Notes to secure contracts is invalid on this basis. 

This post serves as public notice. I dont have the time, resources, energy, nor will to navigate the convoluted legal system that has been complicated by the vested interest of attorneys and their law firms. XXXX XXXX would further like to inform Alliant Credit Union and the CFPB that he is training hundreds of thousands of people worldwide how to expose the fraudulent and deceptive practices of the Federal Reserve System in depriving people of their rightful possession and usage of their private property.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am a long time Bank of America customer, on their app they had marketing to enroll for a special savings rate of 4.65 % on balances over XXXX. This offer only applied to new funds. I enrolled and received a notice on the app that I could open a new savings account or deposit to an existing advantage savings account. As I already own an account I deposited {$140000.00} moving money from another institution. I never received confirmation of the enrolment other than the webpage on their app. 
To avoid potentially losing interest income I called BOA to inquire as to the rate on my account now and if my deposit was eligible for their promotional rate. I was told they couldnt see any promotion and nor did I sign up to it, which is totally false. I had to move the money back to the originating institution to avoid losing interest income. 
Really unhappy with the transparency here from Bank of America and feel no other option other than to move my entire checking and savings balances from them.
