Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I paid my current balance in full on XX/XX/year> of {$990.00} prior to XXXX on that Friday. On Saturday, I contacted the credit card company asking how long will it take for the available credit to update or if they can contact my banking institution to verify that my payment cleared to expedite the process. I realized that the funds were still pending my account on Saturday when I checked my banking app so I told the credit card representative I will the process as the weekend adds time to the payment clearing. I contacted the credit company again on Tuesday asked them to verify that the payment cleared and they called my bank but never said anything when the banking rep came onto the line. From then on I grew curious as to why the CC company calls were not satisfactory with my requests as a valid card holder. On Wednesday I called again when the available credit hadnt updated still. Then the CC company representative told me I was getting a refund for my payment. I asked why. I had not requested a refund. Why would I if I had just paid the entire balance and was looking for my available credit to update? They told me I need to contact my bank for further details. After speaking with my bank I decided to wait out the money being returned and I decided to make a lessor payment as the issue had taken a financial toll on my finances since the available credit did not up date. In addition to that my bank provided me with a temporary credit which I did not utilize more than 25 % of because my original payment did subsequently returned to my bank account. After being able to pay {$100.00} to the CC company to count as an on time payment, they posted my payment but then adjusted {$810.00} to my current balance making me liable to pay {$1900.00}. Today, XX/XX/year> after contacting the CC company to follow up on the balance I was told I need to pay the adjusted amount because of the returned payment although the payment was not requested to be returned, the original payment cleared my bank account, and I have no charges exceeding my credit limit besides interest Ive now incurred. Please help me rectify this as the CC company hangs up on me every time I call to check the status and question their intentions.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) 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 on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 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:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute a charge-off entry on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate and not compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX requirements. 

The inaccurate entry is as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/2019 I dispute this entry on the following grounds : XXXX. Reporting Inaccuracies : Pursuant to the FCRA, creditors are required to report accurate and complete information to credit bureaus. However, the information provided regarding the charge-off is inaccurate. I have not received proper documentation or validation of this debt, and I dispute its validity. 

XXXX. Lack of Notification : The FCRA also mandates that consumers be notified of any negative information reported to credit bureaus. I have not received any notification regarding the charge-off in question, which is a violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX Compliance : The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX outline specific requirements for the reporting of consumer credit information. I believe that the creditor may have failed to adhere to these guidelines in reporting the charge-off, thereby rendering the entry inaccurate and non-compliant. 

I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter in accordance with FCRA regulations and XXXX XXXX compliancy requirements. If the investigation confirms that the charge-off entry is inaccurate or non-compliant, I request that it be promptly removed from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I found out a few months ago from a credit provider that my Experian credit data had a fraudulent second Social Security number on it. It took me many weeks to find someone to talk to and correct this. Now, I have tried to log onto my Experian account to check credit but I keep getting an error message. It does not seem to be an error with email or password. I have tried for two days now to get someone to help me but I can not get past their voice activated system to talk to a human being. This same thing happened a few months ago with the fraudulent SS number. I did not file a complaint last time. But this time I am fed up with Experian 's bad service. 

Experian acts like an ugly monopoly and does not seem to care that their carelessness and inattention impacts people like me who occaisionally need to apply for credit.
