Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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. 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.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts. Actually I am not sure that the accounts are even mine though your company claims to have verified these.Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditorXXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to set up credit freezes with all 3 major credit reporting companies due to the constant leaking of personal data from multiple companies, including the State and health insurance companies. Given that taking personal information offline is impossible, I want to setup credit freezes. I was able to do so with the other 2 companies with no issues. 
When I first setup my Experian account, after inputting all my info, I got a message saying they were unable to " verify my identity '' and that I would need to call a phone number to finish verifying my account. 
When I called the number, it is only an automated phone tree that requires you to enter your FULL social security number, and led absolutely nowhere. I was left on a dead phone line with no indication if anything had been verified or I actually had an account setup. 
I found another Experian customer service number, and called that with the same results. Endless phone tree with no way to connect to an actual person to try and verify anything. 
I eventually asked to put a freeze on my account through the automated system after trying multiple times to get through to a person. I think I setup a freeze but honestly I have no idea if it actually worked. 
I attempted to login to my account to try and actually SEE my information, and when I login, I get directed to a page with nothing on it but a button to click to " order my free experian credit report ''. There is absolutely no other options on the page and I can not access any other part of my account that I think? (? ) is activated but I can not verify, beyond that it will let me use my username and password to login. I do not want a credit report from them and i want nothing to do with Experian except being able to freeze my credit and actually confirm that it has been done. 
In addition, there is NO actual contact information on their website. The only options are the same phone number I have already called, with no ability to talk to a human, and a mailing address. No email, no chat, nothing.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I have a checking account with Chime-XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX On XX/XX/year>, my account was hacked by an unknown individual and {$500.00} was transferred from my account to a XXXX. I filed a dispute with Chime immediately, and submitted info to help verify and prove fraud had been committed. Specifically an email I had received that morning, from Chime mind you, informing me that an unknown device located in XXXX, XXXX  had logged in to my account with specific date and time,, along with the email I had received from them confirming that said funds had been sent. I live in XXXX XXXX and I dont know anyone, anywhere in, nor have I ever been to XXXX, period, so clearly it wouldnt take much investigating to check my activity activities and location history of same to see a routinely pattern, located in XXXX  XXXX After all, I am the only one with access to and listed on the account, yet Chime denied my dispute, but failed to inform me of their decision for same. They did not send an email, or correspondence of any kind stating their decision and evidence supporting same. I finally called them a month and hale after theyd resolved matter to find out theyd already reached a decision. Clearly the investigation was not done thoroughly, an two year old could see it was clearly fraud, based off my history and actions alone, bc I dont make transfers to cards or randomly login from an unknown device. Its bill! They did me wrong!!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to request removal of a specific account from my credit report with EQUIFAX due to inaccurate and inconsistent information, based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Disputed account details : Account number : XXXX Creditor name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Incorrect information identified on reports from all three credit bureaus. 
Legal basis for removal of information : Right to accurate information ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I request that the authenticity of this account be verified manually with the original creditor, rather than relying on the automated XXXX system, and that I receive a detailed explanation of the verification process. 
Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ( FCRA, Section 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Under this section, I demand a complete reinvestigation of the account and immediate correction of any inaccurate information.

Deletion of Inaccurate or Unverified Information ( FCRA, Section 611 ( 5 ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ) : Under the FCRA, if information can not be verified, it must be removed from the report.

Liability of Information Providers ( FCRA, Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) : The creditor 's failure to validate this information warrants its deletion.

Compliance with Accuracy Procedures ( FCRA, Section 607 - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The inaccuracy in my report suggests a failure to comply with required accuracy procedures.

Permitted Purposes for Access ( FCRA, Section 604 - 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) : I request confirmation that the access to my report was legitimate. If it was not, I request deletion of any unauthorized data.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, Section 1601 - 15 U.S.C. 1601 ) : TILA reinforces my right to accurate information, and the presence of this inaccurate account contradicts that right. 
Supporting Case Law : Cortez v. Trans Union, LLC ( 617 F.3d 688 ) emphasizes the credit bureaus ' responsibility to properly investigate consumer disputes. Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC further reinforces the obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.
