Company: EVERBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I made a timely payment of my monthly XXXX based on the XXXX statement because I had not received the current statement for XXXX. Apparently my estimated payment was short by {$130.00}. In XXXX, almost a month later, I got a phone call from XXXX that my payment was short. I agreed to pay the shortfall immediately and requested that the shortfall be flagged as an error on XXXX XXXX 's part for not getting me a statement and for taking a month to notify me. I was told no problem. They received the {$130.00} shortfall within 10 days but still reported me to the credit bureaus as a late payment. 
I have never had a late payment with this or any other loan in my life! 
The following month, XXXX, I was notified by the credit bureaus that I had an adverse credit report from my lender. I contacted XXXX XXXX immediately with an error acknowledgement notice. They failed to answer in 30 days per requirement, so I called and called and called and left messages to a totally unresponsive " Office of the Customer ''. I finally got a post dated letter saying, tough luck, we reported you late for a {$130.00}, nothing you can do about it. I have never been treated worse. I still need XXXX to reverse the error with the credit bureaus.

XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau po box 2900 Clinton, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Information on Credit Report XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning inaccurate and unverifiable information that is currently listed on my credit report under the account XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX. This complaint pertains to the information reported by XXXX and Equifax. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report. I have noticed several discrepancies and errors in the way this account is reported across different credit reporting agencies. Details of the account information are as follows : XXXX : XXXX High Balance : {$640.00} o Date of Last Activity : XX/XX/XXXX o Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX o Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX o Balance Owed : {$640.00} o Account Status : Closed, Collection/Chargeoff o Payment Status : Charged off as bad debt o Dispute Status : Dispute resolved; customer disagrees Equifax : XXXX High Balance : {$640.00} o Date of Last Activity : XX/XX/XXXX o Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX o Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX o Balance Owed : {$640.00} o Account Status : Closed, Collection/Chargeoff o Payment Status : Charged off account o Dispute Status : Consumer disputes after resolution These discrepancies, particularly in the reporting dates and the account status, lead me to believe that the information being reported is inaccurate and potentially damaging to my credit score. Moreover, there are conflicting records between the agencies, which further supports my claim that the information provided by the creditor can not be verified. 

By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand that these items be investigated and removed from my credit report. It is my understanding that under the FCRA, you are required to recheck these items with the creditor who has posted them. If the creditor is unable to verify the accuracy of the information, it must be removed from my report. 

Additionally, I am requesting that you ensure compliance with the 30-day reinvestigation requirement as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). Please remove any information that the creditor can not substantiate within this time frame. 

I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency it requires and ensure that my rights under the FCRA are fully upheld. Please provide me with written confirmation once the inaccurate information has been removed from my credit report. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift resolution.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request, pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), that Experian, upholds the law. This section of the law mandates that credit reporting agencies, upon receiving appropriate proof of identity theft, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report, must block the reporting of information that the consumer identifies as resulting from identity theft within four business days. Experian has refused to promptly remove this fraudulent account. I spoke with a representative from Experian who informed me that this account would be blocked and removed. While other credit bureaus have promptly removed this fraudulent account without issue ( see attached proof ), Experian continues to report this inaccurate and damaging information. As an XXXXXXXX XXXX of the military, it is critical that this fraudulent account, which is a result of identity theft, be removed and blocked from my report immediately. My roles, especially those requiring security clearances, involve thorough background checks, including a review of my credit report. This fraudulent account could raise concerns about my financial stability, potentially jeopardizing my clearance and performance.
