Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
This has been the most deceptive abusive and unfair interaction I have ever had. I tried to defer my mortgage payment by XXXX  days within the grace period and called a XXXX prior to the mortgage being taken. My Checking account it pulls from and my mortgage are All within Chase. The man told me to allow it to overdraft and the funds would immediately return. Now my account is overdrawn and they want to place a stop payment on themselves and I would get charged ADDITIONAL FEES. I also was told to place a dispute ON Chase from Chase. The customer service team has no idea what they are doing and are causing me a ton more fees now that my other bills can not be paid because of Chases process and procedures. The best part of all of this is CHASE HAS THE FUNDS ALL INTERNALLY AND ARE CHARGING ME FEES WHEN THEY HAVE THE MONEY. All I needed was to defer my mortgage payment by XXXX days and was misled to overdraft my account causing more fees and potentially harming my credit and good standing account record.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Revenued LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am the owner of XXXX XXXX XXXX Revenued marketed a business charge card, but in practice the product operated as a merchant cash advance with fixed ACH debits, not variable remittances tied to actual sales. 

I submitted formal requests to reduce remittances due to a documented revenue decline, on the specific dates shown in the attached emails. Revenued nevertheless continued taking fixed debits, which caused overdrafts and disrupted operations. Key debits occurred on XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, and XX/XX/year> ( see attached bank statements with these transactions highlighted ). 

In writing, I requested : ( a ) confirmation whether the product was truly a card or an XXXX ; ( b ) the methodology used to calculate ACH debits and the procedure for reductions ; ( c ) a temporary suspension or reduction of debits after the revenue decline ; ( d ) the basis for requesting documents from third parties not party to the contract ; and ( e ) the authority of XXXX XXXX to act. I did not receive substantive answers, and the fixed debits continued. 

Requested resolution : Refund of debits taken after my formal reduction requests ( dates evidenced in the attached emails ). 

Stop fixed debits and align to proportional, revenue-based remittances. 

Written confirmation that the company will not contact my customers or demand third-party documents without contractual basis. 

Correction of any internal notation labeling me as in default for making a legitimate reduction request. 

Attachments : card/XXXX  agreement XXXX a one-page chronology citing exact dates as shown in the emails ; the emails themselves ; bank statements showing overdrafts ; and screenshots where Revenued markets the product as a card/charge card.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I submitted my payment of {$500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. This was a holiday weekend so my payment was not authorized until XX/XX/XXXX. The reasoning for me not making this payment in the past was because my company has a program of student loan payments that was not set up correctly which I was unaware of. I received no indication that my payment was so far behind until XX/XX/XXXX which would have already been too late. Nonetheless, I received a negative credit report which I disputed immediately with this information. I then found out today that my dispute was denied for the reasoning that the payment was not authorized until after the XX/XX/XXXX report date. My payment was submitted before the reporting date so I believe my negative report should be reversed.
