Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against several banks and Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) for violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, these entities have breached the following federal laws : 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) : Unauthorized access to my credit report. 
15 USC 1681s-2 : Furnishing inaccurate information and failing to correct and update information. 
15 USC 1681b ( 3 ) : Improper use of consumer reports for adverse actions without proper notification. 
15 USC 1681a ( d ) 2 ( A ) ( i ) : Consumer reports do not include information solely about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Late payments and utilizations are considered transactions and experiences and should be deleted. Additionally, charge-off accounts should be excluded from my consumer report pursuant to IRS rules and guidelines, as they are considered ordinary income and income is not reported on consumer reports. These violations have negatively impacted my creditworthiness and financial stability. I urge the CFPB to investigate these infractions and ensure compliance with federal laws to protect consumers like myself. Additionally, credit scoring models like XXXX and XXXX are proprietary tools and algorithms used by lenders to assess creditworthiness and determine credit terms, but they are not factors outlined in the consumer report or governed by federal consumer protection laws, which take precedence over individual bank guidelines. I rely on the CFPB to enforce federal consumer protection laws and regulations ensuring the credit reporting practices, including those used by lenders adhere to established guidelines and do not override the protections afforded to consumers under federal law.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: KS

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 on my ( CHANGE TO NAME OF BANK ACCOUNT ). 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: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX XXXX I attempted to add my Citi credit card to XXXX XXXX. That prompted me to call and verify my identity with Citi and Citi began suggesting I open a banking account in order to verify identity because their other limited means of verifying identity would not work because if I had another account with them, they would be able to verify my identity. They further insist on sending a letter that will somehow verify my identity but because we are a military family, we have recently moved and this letter may reach us at some point in the next month, if at all. After repeated calls an assurances of no fraud, Citi continues to insist their is fraud on our accounts and will not allow us full access to our accounts and refuses to provide copies of their policies restricting identification and refuses to provide a summary of our customer service interactions which would reflect multiple resolutions of this problem, yet continued restrictions.
