State: TX

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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX 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!

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Milestone credit card with Concordia Bank in XXXX. 

Two or three times they reversed payments I made from my checking account. My banking information was correct, and I had sufficient funds for the payments. I don't understand why they were reversed. 

They've since charged me almost {$200.00} in late fees and overlimit fees, in addition to a {$170.00} annual fee. I believe these violate the CFPB 's ban on excessive credit card fees. 

In addition, they are charging me monthly for a credit protection fee I didn't authorize.

Company: Veem  Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have had an account with Veem for some time and this is now the second time this has happened for the same transaction type and client- I received a somewhat large ( to me ) payment from a client for a second deposit on funds I need to access today to complete work for them. Immediately after they sent it, my account was put on hold " pending verification, '' yet I was never asked for additional verification prior to this and I did already give them my passport, which almost all other similar companies can verify immediately via a third-party service. The payment was made via credit card and already processed from the client end, so I inquired about what the hold up was and got no real explanation other than to just wait. So, they are arbitrarily just holding my funds for no reason which is going to preventing me from starting work with this client who paid for services they are expecting to me rendered and I can not do now because Veem is withholding my money. Additionally, last time, they called my client directly to verify ( which they did, but though Veem was very unprofessional in doing that ), so this is not a new transaction to them.
