Company: Hatfield, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I wish to express my concern and formally raise a complaint about an inaccurate 30-day late payment report by HATFIELD INC DBA GRID. This incorrect reporting has adversely affected my credit score, and I am reaching out to the CFPB to help address and rectify this issue. 

Sequence of Events : XX/XX/XXXX : I initiated an account with HATFIELD INC DBA GRID, encompassing a XXXX XXXX  monthly subscription and a {$200.00} credit line. I received confirmation that auto-pay would be in effect immediately upon account setup. 

XX/XX/XXXX : To ensure clarity, I engaged with GRID 's support, who validated the activation of the auto-pay mechanism on my account. 

XX/XX/XXXX : Notably, while the auto-pay did cover the monthly subscription in XX/XX/XXXX, it neglected to address the due payment for the credit line. It is essential to note that this was the sole instance of non-payment over a 12-month period. GRID did not notify me or provide reasons for this omission. My bank records affirm the monthly subscription payment and show no debit attempts for the credit line. Despite available funds and GRID 's terms stipulating repeated payment attempts in case of initial failure, no such efforts were made on their part. 

XX/XX/XXXX : A subsequent review of my credit revealed a decline of 28 points, attributable to GRID 's 30-day late payment report a report which conflicts with the auto-pay assurances given by GRID. 

Impact and Expected Resolution : This incorrect report shifted my credit category from " Good '' to " Fair '', compromising my financial credibility and opportunities. Such misinformation is not only concerning but also jeopardizes my long-term financial stability.

In light of the above, I kindly request the CFPB to : Advocate for the removal of the incorrect 30-day late payment report on my credit file.
Encourage HATFIELD INC DBA GRID to assess and refine their auto-pay system, ensuring future reliability. 
Seek a formal written acknowledgment and apology from HATFIELD INC DBA GRID for the oversight and its potential implications.

I have attached pertinent documents, including interactions with GRID and the credit report indicating the error, for your consideration. 

Your efforts in aiding resolution and ensuring consumer rights remain safeguarded are greatly valued. I eagerly await a positive outcome.

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing fraud ITEMS on my credit report. The items are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraudulent items affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the items claim to be mine. I have had ENOUGH! HOW MUCH DOCUMENTATION does it take to get SOMEONE to REALLY DO SOMETHING?? LOOK at the attachments! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! You asked for Documentation and I have given it. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensation and damages incurred. Please delete the items immediate.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I purchased a vehicle and Ally Auto approved me for a loan for the amount of $ XXXX 15.99 % APR On XX/XX/2023 I made my first payment of {$870.00}. I waited a few days for the payment to process and I checked the outstanding balance. The outstanding balance is still {$41000.00}. 
So I called Ally Auto, and the lady I spoke with told me that the money went all towards finance charge. I asked her what was my APR rate and she confirmed it is 15.99 %. So I asked her, why did the bank take 100 % of my payment? She then broke down to me how much money goes towards the interest and how much goes to the principal. She said {$140.00} is supposed to go towards interest and {$730.00} towards the principal amount. She said she will put in a request to fix the problem. I waited over a week and saw nothing changed so I called again. Still the problem hasnt been resolved and now they are asking for the next payment which is due XX/XX/2023. At this point I dont trust Ally Auto anymore.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On my American Express Platinum Card, I was charged {$550.00} in interest cost, posting on my statement on XX/XX/2023, which I believe was an overcharge. 

I first approached American Express Customer Care using Chat Function on XX/XX/2023. The Professional Rep indicated that interest charge resulted from {$960.00} that went unpaid for 25 days. After he or she was unable to authenticate the interest charge, the Rep pledged to open an investigation to validate interest charge calculation ( XXXX ), but failed to do so or follow up with me. I saved the Chat Transcript. 

Next, on XX/XX/2023, I followed up with American Express again. Similarly, the Professional Rep had no knowledge of my prior inquiry or concern on the interest rate overcharge, nor a record of the prior investigation. I also saved this Chat Transcript. I allowed 3 weeks for them to resolve and follow up with me, and they haven't done so.
