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: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The company Bank of America refuses to honor the agreement I signed with them on Tuesday, XX/XX/year> with a final transfer to be made from my checking account, with the same bank and which has had plenty of funds to pay the monthly amount of {$100.00} to pay my credit card bill every month, on Tuesday, XX/XX/year> - transfers scheduled XXXX - as per the agreement with confirmation number : XXXX. I printed out and have a copy of the agreement in XXXX  format on Tuesday, XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX time. The issue for me is that they did not withdraw money from my checking account to pay my credit cart on XXXX, XXXX. The last transfer from my checking account to pay my credit card was XX/XX/year> and they reported me as having missed a payment to the credit agencies. This is wrong and unacceptable. After numerous attempts over the phone, and over email, they refuse to accept their error and honor their agreement, claiming that the agreement was for 11 months which does not make sense at all, and with the same confirmation number I provided above nonetheless. This is not right in my opinion, and will be happy to provide any documentation you request. Very much appreciate your support in this important matter for me and, thank you very much in advance!!

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I met with XXXX XXXX dealership representatives for a followup appointment in order to finalize the purchase of a vehicle. 

Representatives at XXXX were informed on several occasions that I secured financing with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and therefore, I would not require dealership initiated requests for financing. The dealership asked me to sign a credit application and explained that this was solely designed to apply with thXXXX XXXX XXXXer, XXXX XXXX, who prequalified me. 

The dealership did not initially submit the required information to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, including the credit application, until after they shopped my credit with other lenders, who declined my applications. These multiple inquiries have damaged my credit. 

It is my understanding that it is common for auto dealerships to examine various lenders during the consumer buying process. However, since I had pre-arranged auto financing, there was no need for XXXX XXXX to submit a credit application to nearly a half dozen lenders, especially after they agreed not to do so. There was no permissible purpose since I had already secured financing. 

I expressed my deep concerns with XXXX representatives about having unauthorized inquiries for lending on my credit reports and explained that I have a fraud alert on my account, due to unauthorized access. I instructed the dealership not to shop my credit with lenders. I specifically instructed them that under no circumstance are they to apply, on my behalf, with any other lender, except for XXXX XXXX. I was assured by representatives that this would not happen. I reiterated that there was no need to consider other lenders since I have secured financing before meeting with them. I received assurances from both the sales manager and sales consultant that they would only submit the credit application to my prequalified lender, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Instead of initially submitting the required credit application with the lender XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) who I had obtained prequalification with, XXXX XXXX shopped my credit with multiple lenders ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. These hard inquiries appear on my credit reports. 

This is an unfair business practice. 

In addition to the unfair, deceptive acts or practices violations ( Federal ), my privacy rights were violated ( FTC ).

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have never legally gone by these personal information nor do not currently reside at the listed residence. The inclusion of inaccurate aliases and unrelated or outdated addresses not only violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy but also creates a serious risk of identity confusion and impairs my ability to obtain credit under accurate and fair conditions. The presence of such erroneous personal information also raises concerns of data mishandling, especially in light of recent national data breaches. Despite previous attempts to have this information corrected, XXXX might have failed to remove the incorrect aliases and address entries, even though I have never used these names and do not reside at the listed locations.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

The accounts being reported under my name were opened and reported without my knowledge, authorization, or consent.

I take the accuracy of my credit profile very seriously. I need immediate clarification as to how these accounts became associated with my name and who is responsible for reporting them.
