Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding an error in my credit reporting by Citibank, which manages my Home Depot credit account. This error has had a negative impact on my credit score. 

In XXXX and XXXX of XXXX Citibank reported two delinquent payments, each over 30 days late. However, this information is incorrect. My account was enrolled in autopay, but due to an error on Citibank 's side, these payments were not collected. I have since submitted two complaints through XXXX to correct this issue, but Citibank has maintained that it can only report based on the existing account records and has refused to change it. 

This error is adversely affecting my credit score, and despite my attempts to resolve it directly, Citibank has not taken responsibility for the autopay failure. I am seeking CFPB 's assistance in investigating this matter and ensuring my credit report accurately reflects my payment history. 

Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because late payments on a business credit card accountused exclusively for business expensesare inaccurately impacting my personal credit report and score. These entries, reported by JP Morgan Chase bank as personal debt, do not accurately reflect my individual financial behavior or risk and are causing significant financial harm.

The late payments reported on this account have lowered my personal credit score, severely restricting my ability to access personal financing options, secure favorable loan terms, and maintain the flexibility necessary to manage my personal finances. This impact has led to increased interest rates and missed business opportunities, all based on credit data that does not accurately reflect my individual financial practices. 

This business account, used solely for business obligations, should not influence my personal credit profile. Reporting these business-related late payments as personal debt is misleading and creates an inaccurate portrayal of my personal creditworthiness. The practice of merging business-related debt into personal credit reporting places an undue burden on my individual financial standing and exposes me to unfair credit penalties. This dual reporting lacks transparency and negatively impacts my financial stability in a way that is both unfair and harmful. 

I respectfully request that these entries be either removed from my personal credit report or reclassified to accurately reflect their nature as business-related debt. This adjustment will prevent further unwarranted damage to my personal credit profile and restore an accurate representation of my individual credit history. Thank you for your consideration of this matter and for the opportunity to address an issue that has profound implications for my personal financial well-being.

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

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 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.
