Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, "

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX 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 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 my account 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 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:
I contacted XXXX numerous of times. I had late payments reporting and they told me to provide medical documentation. I provided the documents and a supervisor stated the amount of hours I was in the emergency room. I was out of work and provided my discharge papers as they requested. 

They are trying to retaliate by not removing the incorrect kickoff accounts. The supervisor listed several reasons of why they will not remove the accounts. They stated someone else called on my account and it was my wife. Then they stated I filed a dispute with the credit bureaus. 

In all XXXX credit reports the kickoff accounts are all reporting incorrectly. Account status, date opened, payment status, and date of last payments are showing different. 

Both of my accounts they are reporting to the credit bureaus are paid and closed. I was experiencing a hardship at the time the late payments were reported. I'm in the process of purchasing my home and this credit building account is the reason why I can't move forwards. XXXX are being very insensitive. If I can't purchase my home home my family will be homeless. My closing date is next week and if the XXXX accounts aren't removed they will suspend my contract. 

I will attach proof of the credit reports reporting inaccurately, medical documentation, emails from kickoff showing retaliation.

Complaint narrative:
I am not pleased with the credit bureaus handling of my disputes. I contacted them by mail notifying them of numerous inaccuracies in their reporting. I noticed several accounts on my report were misrepresented and erroneously reported. I sent them a list of the accounts as well as the issues along with all verifying documents and I have not seen any changes made on my reports. Their investigation resolved nothing and I don't think they actually conducted a reasonable one. My report has not changed and I am getting stressed out by this. I am aware that they can not continue to report erroneous information because that is against the law to do so. I need this resolved immediately.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2024 I traveled to a used car dealer in XXXX. I filled out a soft pull application which stated it would not affect my credit. The dealer then proceeded to make an unauthorized hard pull of my credit. I received the alert and told the dealer that I do not want my credit pulled. He then tried to get me to sign a credit application which I refused. After several attempts for them to fix the problem, they finally admitted the credit pull was done by mistake and they would send a letter to the credit bureaus. I also deputed the inquiry to Equifax. I provided the communication between the dealer and myself. Long story short.nothing has changed. Equifax states that they investigated it, which has to be false since they said everything is factual when it is not. They continue to disregard my proof without telling me why.

Complaint narrative:
Bread financial who hosts XXXX XXXX credit card charges {$37.00} late fee. I thought that companies were no longer allowed to charge such excessive fees. In this instance I was a few days late on my payment. If I make a payment a day late they charge the fee. If I ask for a courtesy, they will allow it one time per year. We consumers do our best to make our payments timely, but at times life causes us to miss payments. For me, my youngest just graduated high school and my life has been consumed with that.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This is the email I wrote to XXXX : I am writing to formally request your assistance regarding unjustified charges applied to my recent car rental through XXXX, booked via XXXX. When I reserved the vehicle, the stated and agreed upon total was {$220.00}, a price confirmed as final. 

Upon arrival at the XXXX airport, the counter agent updated the total to {$310.00} after including toll charges, which already seemed excessively high.Despite my objections and suggestion to handle tolls directly, I was informed of an additional {$10.00} fee per toll if not processed through XXXX, prompting me to accept the toll charge of {$74.00}. However, this does not account for an unexplained surplus of {$20.00}, contradicting the agent 's assurance that no other fees would be added. 

Furthermore, upon exiting the rental facility, another agent presented a final charge of {$410.00} a stark and inexplicable increase from just moments before. This sequence of charges not only lacks transparency but suggests a deliberate overcharge. Such practices are not only unethical but potentially fraudulent. She was very rude and would not explain to us why the charge went up. 

Given these circumstances, I am compelled to dispute these charges through my credit card company unless a full refund of the unwarranted fees is processed promptly. I urge your immediate attention to this matter to avoid further escalation and to maintain customer trust and satisfaction. 

Please confirm the processing of my refund at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter. 

I submitted to BOA as a fraud claim and they denied it saying I signed the receipt which is not true. I did not sign anything upon leaving the parking lot when the price was unjustly raised.
