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.

I just want my case thoroughly reviewed and my funds returned back to me. XXXX is suppose to represent me as a customer and protect my finances, why is it that my claims are being denied in less than XXXX hours without investigation? Why is it that XXXX is stating that I have a relationship with the merchants if I have no history with them on said account?

I fraudulently lost {$4000.00}, have filed over XXXX disputes, provided documentation the not only proves that I wasn't the one that made the purchase but shows that I was in fact XXXX hours and XXXX miles away from every merchant that I filed a dispute for.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I enrolled into a debt relief program due to financial hardship and included XXXX into this program. XXXX accepted a settlement XX/XX/XXXX, and payments began immediately per the terms of the settlement. The debt was sold off to XXXX XXXX XXXX, and per the attached you can see my account history showing the first payment was XX/XX/XXXX for {$290.00}. Every payment has been made in accordance with the agreement on time, per the attached documents, however XXXX continues to report my account 30 days late every single month. I have many creditors that have accepted settlements and not a single one is reporting me late post-settlement. In XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a dispute with the credit bureaus, but XXXX reported that the late payments were accurate. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent an email to customer support, and never received a reply. I ended up sending a second email on XXXX, letting them know I would be submitting a complaint to CFPB and they finally replied. This was their explanation : " for the duration of the settlement, the account will be reported as the same status that it was in and was being reported at the time you accepted the settlement agreement. '' They also referenced me to view the agreement in the " legal agreements and disclosures '' in the website but there was no agreement uploaded. I called customer service today, XX/XX/XXXX, and they said they are not able to speak with me about the loan as it has been transferred to XXXX and XXXX. I questioned why they can not help me as they are the ones reporting the late payments, and they could not give me an answer. They said it would be escalated to management but that this is their policy. The rep actually said my account was 28 days late which was confusing because originally it was 44 days late at the time of settlement.
