Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint against the credit bureaus for failing to properly address issues with my XXXX account reporting, and I request immediate investigation and resolution. Additionally, I request that the following statement be added to my XXXX account : " Paid in full, including all fees, but XXXX never provided proper debt validation or a complete breakdown of charges, despite multiple requests. This occurred during XXXX. I was assured the account would be removed from my credit report after payment, but XXXX did not honor this agreement. '' Details of the Issue : Failure to Provide Debt Validation : XXXX did not provide proper debt validation or a complete breakdown of the charges on the account, despite my repeated requests. 
This lack of transparency caused significant stress, particularly as this issue arose during the XXXX pandemic. 
Payment Made in Full : Despite the lack of validation, I paid the account in full, including additional fees and charges. 
I was explicitly told by XXXX that the account would be removed from my credit report once the payment was completed. 
Failure to Remove the Account : XXXX did not follow through on their assurance to remove the account from my credit report after payment. This constitutes a breach of their promise and has negatively impacted my credit score and financial standing. 
Credit Bureaus Lack of Action : Despite my disputes and requests, the credit bureaus have failed to properly investigate this issue or resolve the inaccuracies in the reporting of my XXXX account. 
Relief Sought : I request the following actions : Statement Addition : Ensure that the above statement is added to my XXXX account reporting to accurately reflect the situation. 
Thorough Investigation : Require XXXX to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, including validation of the debt, a breakdown of all charges, and the circumstances surrounding their failure to remove the account as promised. 
Account Removal : Remove the XXXX account from my credit report, as I was assured it would be, following payment in full. 
Compensation : Investigate and hold XXXX accountable for their actions, including compensation for the stress, financial harm, and breach of their agreement during a time of hardship. 
Credit Bureau Accountability : Ensure that the credit bureaus are compliant with their obligations under the FCRA to investigate disputes and report accurate information. 
I trust the CFPB will investigate this matter thoroughly and take the necessary steps to ensure my rights as a consumer are upheld. 

Thank you for your attention and action on this matter.

However, it's important to understand the specific circumstances under which these damages can be sought. 

If a creditor reports inaccurate information about a debt, such as incorrectly reporting a charge-off while still claiming you owe the debt, you may be able to seek statutory damages under the FCRA. However, you would need to demonstrate that the creditor 's actions were willful or reckless, and that you suffered actual damages as a result of the inaccurate information.

The amount of statutory damages can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case. However, they are typically capped at {$1000.00} per violation. 

If you believe that you have been the victim of inaccurate credit reporting, you should consult with an attorney to discuss your legal options.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX 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 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 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. 

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

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting for Account with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ) Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of late payments on my credit report related to my account with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX ). Despite my previous disputes dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, Experian has failed to correct the inaccurate information, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other relevant laws.

FCRA Violations Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies are obligated to investigate disputed information and ensure the accuracy of consumer credit reports. The failure to address these inaccuracies in my file violates this provision.

TILA Violations According to the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to provide accurate disclosures. The late payment reporting for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX contradicts the provided payment history, where I made timely payments as evidenced by my bank statements. 
PAANL Violations The Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) reinforces the necessity for accurate and timely statement disclosures, which has not been adhered to in this case. 
Discrepancies The following discrepancies have been identified : Date of Last Verified : Experian has failed to provide a last verified date for this account, leaving it blank.

Date of Last Activity : Reported as XX/XX/XXXX, which is inconsistent with my records indicating activity in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Late Payment Reporting : Incorrectly marked as 30 days late in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 
Two-Year Payment History The reported payment history does not align with the actual records. The incorrect 30-day late notations for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX must be corrected immediately. 
Desired Resolution I am formally requesting : Immediate removal of the late payment notations for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 
Written confirmation of the corrections made to my credit report. 
If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint to additional regulatory bodies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 
Enclosed, please find the supporting documentation, including bank statements and prior correspondence. I trust that you will address this matter with urgency. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
