Complaint narrative:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and found late payment on the payment history from your company. 

I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me, or the payment was not applied as fast as expected. I checked my bank account and noticed that you deducted the money out of my checking account that on the month that you marked me late on my credit report.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I had applied for a credit card recently, and I was declined credit because I was informed that they had found a negative record on my Equifax credit report from XXXX XXXX. I had taken insurance from XXXX XXXX for 12+ years, but since they kept increasing their rates, I moved to a different provider. Because I did not renew with them, they reported me to collections for non-payment of renewal premium, who in turn reported me to the credit reporting agency. How can a company even do that? If I have not taken your service, I have not paid you - that is how it works. 

So, I open a dispute with Equifax and they tell me that they can not do anything. They will report whatever a collections company sends them. What is the purpose of disputing then, if they just blindly report whatever is sent to them? When I called in, the rep was extremely unhelpful and I asked to speak to a supervisor, he said that one was not available. 
If there is such irresponsibility towards customers, how can consumers credit health be determined by refutable and unverified data maintained by such a company? If as a customer I am saying that I should not be responsible for the payment and clearly giving the reason why, then there should be some investigation rather than just checking with the collection company who reported the transaction in the first place? Of course, they will be told that the txn is valid. So, I am not supposed to switch insurance carriers, lest my credit history is tainted. What kind of logic is this?

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Step 1 : What is this complaint about?

Confusing and misleading advertisements around offers and benefits of AMEX.

Step 2 : What type of problem are you having? AMEX is not providing a {$60.00} credit that I am owed by using one of their offers.

Step 3 : What happened? 
Amex offered me an incentive to spend {$50.00} with XXXX and receive a {$20.00} credit ( up to 3 xs ). I accepted the offer and made the following purchases : XXXX XXXX {$52.00}, XXXX XXXX, {$81.00}, and XX/XX/XXXX = {$79.00}. When I reached out to Amex about the credit, I was told that I would receive the credit on next month 's statement becasue although the offer was used with your account, it was not purchased with the card with my name on it. This is a deceptive practice as they advertise an offer in my account and are not transparent about the terms. Since my wife is an authorized account manager, and cardholder through my account and the billing is merged, this offer should be valid.

Step 4 : What company is this complaint about? American Express ( AMEX ) Step 5 : Who are the people involved? 
XXXX from Amex XXXX from Amex XXXX XXXX from Amex

Company: MERCANTILE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I have requested validation of several debts from XXXX XXXX XXXX that had been placed on my credit report by Mercantile Adjustment Bureau. The debts are erroneous and do not exist according to the staff at XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, their parent company. All but one of the debts have been removed from my credit report due to failure to validate. Mercantile Adjustment Bureau forgot to remove one of the accounts ( {$84.00} ) and on XX/XX/XXXX I sent another letter requesting validation and for the negative account to be removed from my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX I called and was told that they were " researching '' the account. On XX/XX/XXXX I called again and informed them that they had exceeded the 30-day window to provide validation for the account and it needed to be removed. The front-line representative gave me the runaround about how they were still researching the account. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was transferred to " XXXX ''. She was extremely rude and refused to look into the issue. She stated that all she could do was e-mail her research department. I requested to be cc 'd in on the e-mail, she agreed and hung up. As of this complaint I have received no communications from Mercantile Adjustment Bureau about this matter

Complaint narrative:
Mr. XXXX XXXX SSN # : XXXX To Whom It May Concern : Hi I have been customer since XX/XX/XXXX and during this time I have enjoyed my experience with XXXX XXXX. I am writing to see if you would be willing to make a GOODWILL adjustment to your reporting to the three credit agencies. I have a late payment on the above referenced account from XXXX of XXXX. Because of my previous payment history never exceeding 30 days I would REALLY like for you to consider removing the negative payment from my credit report. At the time of the late payment, I scheduled a payment of {$210.00} and at that point something happened on the back end system that did not allow my payment to fully process. IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL. I say that to show that the late payment is not an accurate indicator of my actual credit worthiness. I hope that you are willing to work with me on erasing this mark from my credit reports. It it greatly affecting me and my new family from getting a car and getting accepted to a new apartment. Three dealers and 2 landlords have already denied me for having a late payment within this calendar year. 
I have been a very happy customer in the past and hope to continue a long relationship with XXXX. With todays credit industry being so competitive, I know how important it is to maintain good relationships with customers. You guys has been exceptional in my book so far and I hope that you will deeply consider my request!!! I have attached a screen shot of my scheduled payment and an attachment of my bank statement for that month showing the something went wrong and my payment was never taken out. The bank account came back unable to locate but my bank statement for that month prove otherwise. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
