Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Payday loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Attached are the emails and dates I have contacted the company requesting a new payment agreement. I made a previous one on their " catchup '' plan, but it is predatory lending because a catch-up plan is added on top of your regular payment and makes it impossible to afford. On the catch-up plan they play it off as that if will put you in good standing however they continue to report the normal payments past due. Their information is misleading. I have reached out multiple times via email trying to make payment arrangements for one monthly payment to take care of this account, I let them know I only do business via email for my security, so I have documentation. I reach out they email me back telling me to make arrangements, over and over... I am trying to make them, but they refuse to do it via email, and I will not do it by phone because I have already had issues with them not doing what they say they will by phone. This is a predatory company who I am continuing to reach out to setup a payment arrangement, but they will not work with me via email which is a red flag to me their company is not honest.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting a formal complaint against Bank of America regarding the improper assessment of late fees on my newly opened credit card account. 
I recently opened a new credit card account with Bank of America. 
Upon account opening, I was automatically set up for electronic statements ( e-statements ). 
I never received any billing statements or payment reminders by email. The first notice I received from Bank of America was that my account was already past due and that a late fee of {$100.00} had been assessed. 
I was not provided with a fair opportunity to make timely payments, as I was never sent the initial billing statement. 
I believe this practice is unfair and misleading to new customers. I am requesting that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX investigate this matter and require Bank of America to : XXXX. Remove the {$100.00} late fee from my account. 
XXXX. Ensure that proper electronic statement notifications are delivered as required. 
XXXX Review its practices to ensure new customers are not penalized due to failures in e-statement delivery. 
I already contacted Bank of America directly, but I am escalating this complaint to your office because the issue has not been resolved to my satisfaction. 

Attached are copies of correspondence and account records showing the late fee. 
Thank you for your assistance in reviewing this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of a personal credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX and a collections account opened at XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$25000.00} that appears related to the aforementioned personal loan account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

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.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because all XXXX  credit bureaus are reporting a late payment history on my account with XXXX XXXX ( account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, dated XX/XX/year> ) even though this account has long been closed, paid in full, and carries a XXXX balance with no past due amount. This reporting is not only factually inaccurate but also a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The FCRA requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain information that is accurate, complete, and not misleading. By continuing to report derogatory late payment notations on a paid and closed account, the bureaus are misrepresenting the true status of my credit obligations. Under 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( b ), the agencies must ensure maximum possible accuracy, yet this account is being reported in a way that implies I am delinquent or was delinquent when, in reality, the account was resolved properly and in good standing. 

I also exercised my right to dispute this error under 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ). However, the reinvestigation failed because the erroneous late payment markers were left intact. A proper reinvestigation requires the credit bureau to obtain verifiable evidence from the furnisher that the information is correct. Simply checking internal databases or echoing what was previously reported does not meet the legal threshold. Because the account reflects a XXXX balance and XXXX past due, there is no lawful basis for a late payment to remain attached to this file. 

This mistake has not been harmless. The lingering late payment on a paid account has dragged down my credit score for years. I was recently denied approval for a refinance on my auto loan, and the explanation letter from the lender specifically cited delinquency history. It has been humiliating and financially damaging to be penalized for something that is not accurate. I have had to pay higher insurance premiums and was even questioned by a potential employer during a background check because of this blemish. The toll on my peace of mind has been enormous.

I am the Vice President & Treasurer of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Alumni Association, a nonprofit alumni group. We obtained an EIN from the IRS and submitted all required business documents to Cash App ( EIN confirmation letter, Charter & Bylaws, and Officer List ). Despite this, Cash App rejected our application stating they can not verify our business, without providing any explanation or clear instructions on what additional documentation is required. 



We are not requesting credit, only a business account to transparently collect funds for alumni activities such as reunions and homecoming. By refusing to recognize valid IRS documentation, Cash App is unfairly preventing us from accessing basic financial services. 



I am requesting that Cash App : Accept our EIN and valid nonprofit documentation, OR Provide a specific written explanation of what additional requirements must be met.
