Complaint narrative:
I am writing you this letter regarding payments that were marked late by your company for the following accounts on the following date ( s ) : Account Name : ONEMAIN Account Number : XXXX Disputed Late Payment Entries : o XX/XX/XXXX With discrepancies It is my understanding that per 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), my consumer report should not contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer ( me ) and the person ( you ) making the report.

You have 30 days from the date that you receive this letter to provide me with the information that I am requesting. If you do not provide this information in the allotted time given, then it will be assumed that you can not verify the late payments on the dates specified above ( lacking reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of my account ) and I would therefore request that you remove the late payments from my account and consumer report with the following consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX or all that apply ) and update the accounts to positive.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am following up my original complaint to update the response I received ( via mail ) from Equifax credit bureau. I was sent a letter stating that in order for the company to even consider my complaint I would need to send them a copy two of any of the following items : my paystub with my ss number, W-2 with my ss number, a valid ss card, my driver 's license, my rental agreement, paystub with address, and a utility bill with my address. 

I'll send this when you send my this same info for your CEO. 

What purpose do you actually serve? Are you protecting consumers, and if so from whom or from what? You collect MY data from banking and financial institutions, you buy it, the bank makes a profit, I have no say so in your owning my private information, you use it to keep me from reaching a desired arbitrary number you invented, and you then try to sell you services back to me to improve said number. 

This complaint began when an algorithm dropped my credit score XXXX points because I went over my {$1000.00}. limit on my XXXX XXXX XXXX  by {$3.00}. I sent you the proof from my bank and from my credit report. Instead of taking that point drop off of my report you have asked me for private information, which I will not give you because it does not belong to you. 

Now I have no recourse expect to file a complaint with my Congressperson. I am. In fact, I'm sending every single member of Congress a physical copy of my my report, my XXXX statement, your letter, and the original complaint I filed on this site. I'll start with posting all of this on XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX and other social media. I'll be sure to ask for the stories of other single-fathers and mothers. 

{$3.00} cost me five years of rebuilding my credit. It is clear your only aim is to extract money from people struggling, and to do so with no consequences.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

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 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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Duplicate Charges and Missing Funds Dear CFPB Team, I am writing to request your assistance in resolving a serious issue with Capital One involving a loan I obtained to pay off my credit cards. This issue has negatively impacted my credit score and financial stability. Despite numerous attempts to resolve it directly with Capital One over the past four months, I have not received any resolution or clear explanation. Problem Description : 1. I obtained a loan to pay off the balances o
f two Capital One credit cards : Platinum Card : {$3200.00} Quicksilver Card : {$830.00} 2. Due to an error on my part, I deposited the checks intended for these payments twice : Once via mail ( physical deposit ). 
Once electronically ( online deposit ). 
XXXX. Capital One processed the payments as follows : The physical deposit was applied first. 
The funds were later removed when the online deposit was processed, causing duplications and confusion in the balances. 
This process was repeated twice, resulting in additional complications. 
XXXX. While an initial payment investigation was conducted, and I received the money back once, the following issues remain unresolved : Capital One now claims I owe {$6800.00} for my Platinum Card, which is far above the original {$3200.00} balance.

The {$830.00} payment for my Quicksilver Card was never returned, nor does it appear applied to the balance. 
5. Over the past four months, I have repeatedly contacted Capital Ones customer service for assistance, but I have been met with no resolution. Representatives have stated that they can not see what is happening in the system and that there is nothing more they can do. 

Impact : My credit score has continued to drop due to this unresolved issue.

I am being charged additional interest on incorrect and inflated amounts.

Despite having the money available to pay the original {$3200.00}, I can not proceed due to errors in their system. 
I have spent countless hours on the phone with no resolution or clear explanation. 


I have relevant documentation to support my case and will be happy to provide further information if necessary. I deeply appreciate your assistance, as this issue has caused significant emotional and financial stress. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
