Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

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 on my XXXX Bank 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.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On Monday XX/XX/year>, I deposited a check at the Bank of America Branch ATM for {$4000.00}. I received the transaction receipt which informed me that there is a hold on the check until XX/XX/XXXX because it has been deemed the bank might not receive the funds. 

On Tuesday the next business day the bank failed to release the expedited funds availability even if an account is on hold. Eventually, I called the banks customer service and was informed the Branch Manager has the ability to release funds due to the hardship. 

On Wednesday, I did not receive any funds premised on the expedited funds again. I went to the branch of the deposited check and spoke with the Asst. Branch Manager. 

I explained to her the hold on this check is excessive and for an incorrect bank system error. I showed her the upper portion of the detached check demonstrating the gas and electricity company of XXXX XXXX XXXX is providing this refund check, ultimately, supporting the check should be honored immediately. 

She claimed the bank can not override the hold, which is not true. Simultaneously, the check by standards is to be cleared in 2 days and she made no effort to investigate the matter. 

Finally, even if the check has cleared, the banks system is not going to release my funds until XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX AND XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX 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 XXXX 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
