Consumer complaint received 2024-06-26 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately.

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity.

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. 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 to be removed/updated.

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 may 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. 

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!

Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I received two AMEX gift cards as honoraria ( receipt XXXX XXXX, 2024 ( {$350.00} ) ; XX/XX/year>2024 ( {$200.00} ) ). I have not been able to use them anywhere. Every time I buy something online, I try to use these gift cards before using my personal credit cards and it never works. I tried to add money to my XXXX, XXXX, XXXX accounts using them but they are declined everywhere. I honestly find I can't use these cards anywhere. These virtual cards are declined online everywhere ( from small merchants to XXXX to XXXX XXXX to XXXX to trying to buy grocery store gift cards ). When I called and complained about this, I was told to print out the cards and take them to brick and mortar stores to use them, but no brick and mortar store or restaurant will accept a card they can't swipe. I asked customer service for physical cards to replace the virtual cards and was told that they could not be offered. they instructed me to add to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the cards are declined at these services. 

No one will take these cards. I have called AMEX customer service and they can not offer me any resolution. They insist that the cards are valid anywhere that accepts AMEX but can not give me examples of locations where I can use them. They say that they can not transfer my balances for my two unusable virtual cards to a physical card. They say that they can not apply the cards as payments to my AMEX credit card. They say they can not offer me a cash or check refund. This system seems designed to skim dollars from American consumers. They hold our legal tender hostage and tell us there is nothing they can do about it. They falsely advertise that their gift cards can be used anywhere that accepts American Express cards. This is simply not the case. I can not reach a resolution with AMEX customer service. I have been unable to use their cards all year. My money is inaccessible. All I want is the total balance on my cards in cash/check/a usable format.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have had a Home Depot card for 3 years which is run by Citi - who Ive had countless issues with on personal cards. I rarely use my HD card any longer and always check bank statements and payments along with making payments on their app. 
In XXXX or XXXX, I tried making a payment ( Im still unable to check my statements through the app ) and their entire system was down, for multiple days. After being unable to review my payments, statement not being able to review anything, I could not remember if I had owed anything on the card due to making purchases rarely on the card. Just a few days ago, I received a text informing me of a payment due. Again, I went to my app, and the price was steep, yet I was unable to view my statements to review any charges. Upon calling HD, the first rep removed XXXX of XXXX late fees which are incredibly excessive and together were more than what I owed. She could not remove the second fee so she transferred me. I had to state all my info again only to be told that it could not be removed by her either and was now transferred to a XXXX XXXX XXXX Customer service rep, only to be hung up on. I was on the phone for XXXX minutes. I called back and had to go through the process all over again but this time when I was transferred from the initial rep, this woman was horribly rude. She talked over me, refused to allow me to finish statements and was rudely sarcastic and intentionally slow to make a point that I had not spent enough time on the phone. She told me no one could remove the fee and there was nothing I could do. How terrible to inform a loyal customer that has spent XXXX of thousands with HD that I could do nothing. I told her I did not enjoy paying for errors of Citis and how they have collected millions on excessive late fees from customers. Since this is Citis error with their inability to design a working app and the inability to inform their customers that they May experience issues, I feel I should be fully compensated.
