Complaint narrative:
Current did a false publicity violation on XX/XX/year>, for a tailored retail banking offer that they mailed to me. Credit implication none stated, or if any, in a manner as to mislead. I sold on flat-out mentions of 'Reporting on time payment of rent made with checking ( paycheck ) balances, to the Credit Bureaus ' XXXX No sort of credit processing was indicated till i electronically submitted to open the account, which action registered a hard inquiry. Though my history secured an approval, the alienation worsened, I realized offer was nothing but a secured loan marketed as a 'Current Visa Debit ', with desirable score-impacts for making reoccurring and on time payments. Inside access to my account currently, beside the creation email disclosure that -'the secured card issuer is Cross River bank XXXX, another disclosure is -'banking services are provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX ' XXXX which XXXX direct deposits ). Now only XXXX in, and I start to wonder when Finco Advance financial technology company became an affiliate for the same or identical product. So here ; you wouldn't need Current any more than your existing secured credit, there's high finance health risks due to unreliable Terms and Conditions, there's increased chance of mistreated applications, plus absent liability. The phone/customer support generally is undependable, and please! however you intend to go about it, actively seek external influence in regard to all offers, perks, promotions etc.

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.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report.

Complaint narrative:
The account of XXXX XXXX on my all there credit reports is showing late payments of 30 days which happened in XX/XX/XXXX and two 60 days which happened in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX respectively. The account was under my personal individual responsibility. First of all two 60 days late payments can't happen one after another since after 60 days delinquency 90 days follows. That is the first inconsistency. Second of all according to the report, the account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX and the last payment received in XX/XX/XXXX. Since the account was closed and paid off there have not been any activities. Finally, I contacted the creditor, and they confirmed that since the account had been inactive ( no purchases ), late payments could never have occurred. I am requesting deletion of negative information form the specified account on all my major credit bureau.
