Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be updated.

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.

EXPERIAN 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!

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Dispute of Collection Account for XXXX XXXX Dear Credit Bureau/Agency , I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the collection account entry listed on my credit report for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX XXXX the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that this account is marked as a collection, which negatively impacts my credit score. However, I believe this entry is inaccurate due to the following rea-sons : In XXXX I submitted a 30-day notice to the apartment management informing them that I had medical issues ( XXXX ) and I could not continue to stay at that apartment. I was renting with a roommate who stayed at the apartment following my leave. My roommate left the apartment right after I left and now this charge is showing negatively on my credit file. For the record, I am still battling XXXX as the XXXX has returned. This account is no longer mine. 
Based on the above, I respectfully request that you delete this collection account entry from my cred-it report for the following reasons : 1. Inaccuracy Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., I am entitled to an accurate and complete credit report. Since this collection entry is inaccurate, it should be removed from my credit report. 
In light of the above, I request that you conduct a thorough investigation and delete this collection account entry from my credit report if the information can not be verified as accurate. Please provide me with written confirmation of the results of your investigation and any actions taken regarding this dispute. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this information, I expect it to be promptly deleted from my credit file. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I lived in an apartment for many years, and when I was nearing the end of my lease in XXXX of XXXX, the apartment next door to mine had a fire suppression system burst due to freezing temperatures, which caused lots of water to enter into my apartment and damaged most of my furniture. I was able to stay in another location that was an hour away because there was mold present and I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX  and could not live in those conditions, so I had to extend the lease on a month to month basis, for just one more month, which I signed an agreement with the landlord stating I would have all my things out and would no longer vacate that apartment by XX/XX/XXXX. I moved out on XX/XX/XXXX which was a Sunday and was all done with having my things out, by XXXX. The office was not open anyway on Sunday and it was already after hours if they had been, so what I did, was put the keys for the front door, mailbox key and garage door opener on the island and took a photo of the keys and where they were left. The landlord had to do repairs to the unit anyway, so I knew that maintenance would most likely get the keys and give them to the office so that I wouldnt need to drive over an hour to drop keys off. I assumed everything was fine and I wouldnt have to owe any money, since I had months go by without being sent anything in the mail or email, but then one day I get a letter in the mail from National Credit Systems stating I owe over {$1600.00} for the last month for XXXX that I was at my apartment and I moved out after that. I called them right away and told them the debt was not a valid debt and I had supporting documentation to show I wasnt there after XX/XX/XXXX. The photos I submitted to National Credit Systems were timestamped and had a location to show that I was there and what day it was ; I also submitted the contract/agreement between the landlord and I which had been filled out and the landlord had on file stating the day I was to be out by XX/XX/XXXX. I have disputed this debt with the credit bureau and have been told their investigation came back as a valid debt, but the landlord has not provided any disputing documentation to show that I wasnt there any longer than when I have stated I was and what they are saying I owe for. Its not okay that they have been able to do this to me and I am not able to get a company XXXX XXXX card with my employer because of this debt which I really dont owe.

Complaint narrative:
I am so displeased with the way my information was used. I was trying to buy a home for my family, and I got denied due to damages on my consumer credit report. This is defamation of my character, and it's hindering my success. I take my livelihood very seriously, and I expected you all to as well. According to 15 U.S.C & 1681, you are supposed to promote fairness and accuracy on my credit report. But all I see are fraudulent and unauthorized accounts. I have been a part of several breaches, so at this point, you all should be protecting my privacy. This is detrimental to my emotional and XXXX  health to the point I had to have my pastor pray for me several times. I don't have access to buy a house now. I am enforcing my rights, and I expect you to be more ethical with my information. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, not one credit reporting agency shouldn't be reporting any inaccurate information anyways due to neglect use considering that I was in breach. I need help now so I can proceed to buy my family a house.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Problem getting a working replacement card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I requested a credit card replacement from Bank of America in XX/XX/year>, and after waiting for over a month, I still had not received it. 

This delay caused significant financial inconvenience and impacted my travel plans. I was unable to purchase necessary travel items. When I escalated the issue, the representative even suggested I have right to close my account rather than offering a real solution. 

They provided no explanation for why my card was delayed for over a month, nor did they accept any responsibility for the inconvenience caused. Instead, they told me they would waive the shipping feeas if that is a favor rather than a standard service. This is completely unacceptable. 

Additionally, when I requested a written confirmation of their decision and a reference number for my complaint, they refused to provide it. Their refusal to document their own responses raises serious concerns about their accountability and customer service policies. 

I am filing this complaint because Bank of America has failed to fulfill its obligations, failed to provide essential customer support, and has refused to compensate me for the damage they caused.
