State: WY

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2022, my replacement furnace was installed, which was the same date used for gas usage closure by XXXX XXXX XXXX claiming I had used gas during the time the old furnace was inoperative thus could NOT use gas. XXXX confirmed installation date and that NO gas leaks were found. I have argued with XXXX XXXX since then and refused to pay for the gas NOT used. XXXX has refused to correct my bill, and has charged " Late Fee '' every month since despite my dispute. I sent return receipt mailing to their XXXX XXXX, IL office to appear at small claims here in XXXX, WY. and they did not show. I have always paid the undisputed portion of the bill as per their statements. I now have a letter from The CBE Group demanding payment that I do NOT owe for {$20000.00}. I have objective evidence that was submitted to the court that on XXXX occasions the XXXX XXXX office returned my payment so the payment would go late, as late charges are an active revenue source for XXXX XXXX XXXX, and for which there are other complaints known. I am demanding that CBE Group cease and desist, and that XXXX XXXX pay the {$270.00} change over fee to switch to propane and court ordered treble damages which will include the disputed charge, change over fee, and a written letter that NO adverse entry of credit reporting will be made. I am further asking that XXXX post a bond of not less than {$2000.00} for their failure to provide customer service and for their use of XXXX XXXX, IL to hide their fraud business practices. XXXX is known to be dishonest, and solicits donations from customers on their monthly statements allegedly for charity but all those funds go to pay XXXX, and not XXXX dime went to charity.

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

Complaint narrative:
My account with Equifax 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.

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.

Equifax 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

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I received a credit alert from XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX that there was an update to my credit report. In reviewing, both XXXX and XXXX reported inquiries and a new account opening with Truist. I did not take these actions, so this flagged me of fraudulent activity. 

I then contacted Truist Bank on XX/XX/year> and spoke with Account XXXX and completed a fraudulent report on the phone with a representative. They reported both a checking account and a credit card account were opened using my XXXX, XXXX, and maiden name in XXXX of 2024, and confirmed the phone number and address on file did not match my current information. They opened an investigation, put a stop order on the cards being issued in the mail, and stated I would be informed of action and steps taken by Truist via letter in the mail. 

I notified Truist that there was a preexisting Fraud Alert on my credit report from XXXX and XX/XX/year>, with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, and inquired why these accounts were opened despite the Fraud Alert and without efforts to confirm my identity or contact me. They informed me they filed an internal complaint about this matter, but did not provide a confirmation number or contact information for follow up on the matter of the complaint. 

I contacted XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX on XX/XX/year>, to dispute the fraudulent accounts, fraudulent inquiries, and incorrect demographic information now on my credit reports. All XXXX  have opened an investigation and disputes for the incorrect demographic information, and fraudulent accounts. I also placed a hard freeze on all credit bureaus on XX/XX/year>. 

It is important to note that the fraudulent credit account has significantly impacted my XXXX XXXX at this time. 

It is also important to underscore that a checking and credit card account were processed and opened by Truist Bank in XX/XX/year> against my credit report, despite a Fraud Alert being on my credit report since XXXX and XXXX of 2024.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem.

To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I recently started a claim with Chase Bank regarding my checking account and the large amount of funds that were withdrawn from it. I did not know who or how these charges occurred, as I was not the one who made these charges, and so I filed a claim with Chase. After XXXX weeks, Chase decides that this claim was made by me. Upon gathering more information, I asked around my family to see if anyone made this charge when I remembered that my senior father borrowed my phone for a short period of time in the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, when the charges occurred. He told me he fell for a scam and sent the money to a misleading individual that I have no connection with or whom I've never met. The XXXX  is from XXXX, and I am based in XXXX XXXX. I do not understand how this would make any sense. I do not blame my father since he is older and most likely made this by mistake. I do not want to press any charges, and my father has since apologized and learned from his actions.
