Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.

I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

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. 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.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have been paying approximately {$370.00} per month on a fixed-rate auto loan with an APR around 25 % with Santander Consumer USA for a little over 3 and a half years. Although I have had some late months in the past, the account has been currently up to date until this XXXX ( XXXX ), but only about {$3000.00} has been applied to the principal. The current payoff negotiation remains over {$10000.00} and XXXX left on the principal if I continue monthly payments as of today for a vehicle originally financed for approximately {$13000.00}. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased used ) The principal reduction does not align with standard amortization for a fixed-rate auto loan, even at a high interest rate. Based on typical amortization schedules, the principal balance should have decreased significantly more by this point. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the lender and requested : A full amortization schedule A clear breakdown of principal vs interest payment application A copy of the loan disclosures explaining payment allocation The lender did not provide these documents or a proper explanation, and only responded that they would be escalate my complaint to the correct customer service department who did not get back to me at all. Today, the loan servicing remains unclear and inconsistent with reasonable expectations for a fixed-rate loan structure. I am requesting investigation and a review for accurate payment application, transparency, and a fair resolution or modification. 

Most importantly and the * focus * the lender refuses to offer any reasonable loan modification options, leaving me trapped in an extremely high-cost subprime contract despite years of payments. I am requesting review for fair modification, given the predatory structure and lack of borrower relief options.

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Transunion continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. 
time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My due date for each of my credit cards ( 2 ) with PNC Bank is on the XXXX of each month. That has been the due date since I've been a member starting in XXXX. I logged in to make both of these payments via online banking on Sat XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX  zone. Once logged in I received a text prompt for verification purposes. Upon verifying for login, I received a message from PNC Bank online website that the site was undergoing " exciting enhancements '' to the online banking experience and was given no alternative options to complete my payments to my accounts. There was no explanation in the attached screenshot of other options to complete my payments to my accounts. I was also never directed to the payment portal due to the " maintenance '' or " enhancements '' of the site as I logged out and re-attempted to login again. I did complete payments to both of my accounts on XX/XX/XXXX which is the following date that PNC Bank said the online banking account portal would be available. I inquired about the two late fees added to my accounts ( PNC points XXXX XXXX XXXX ) ending in XXXX {$27.00} late fee applied and ( PNC Secured XXXX XXXX ) ending in XXXX {$25.00} late fee applied with PNC Bank customer service via Telephone on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by two representatives one a supervisor that those fee weren't possible to be removed/reversed. Again PNC Bank did not provide any explanation after their online payment portal wasn't available on XX/XX/XXXX for other alternative options to be able to make those payments as that is thee only way I've made payments to my accounts since being a member. I would like CFPB assistance with getting these predatory unfair late fees removed.
