Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Product: Mortgage — USDA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a modification with Mr.Cooper back in XXXX. I received a complete acknowledgment letter advising that my application was complete and I would hear something in 30 days as of XX/XX/XXXX. I called in on XX/XX/XXXX and was advised that I was denied for the traditional loan due to my income and they were submitting for a XXXX  Special Trial Loan and that would take another 30 days. I never withdrew my application or received a denial letter so that was violating the 30 day rule. I called back in the next day on XXXX spoke with another representative only to find out that they calculated my income only and did not include my husband income. He is on the mortgage not and deed and his income needed to be added. Between me and my husband income we grossed over XXXX but we only got credit for XXXX. The rep that I was talking to then reached out supposedly to her manager and was told I was denied because they were unable to lower the payment and they just marked it as denied due to hdti being out of range. They advised me that they sent my file back to underwriting to be evaluated for a different type of mod. I have made numerous phone calls to my rep she isnt calling back. The reason my account is behind is because I applied for a modification with this company last year at 28 days past due and it took them 3 months to let me know I was denied. This company has violated per the CFPB violations in this situation twice. For one they are out of the 30 day compliance and two they didnt include all my income sat they denied me for that reason but went on to say they dumped me because they could lower the payment all of this with nothing in writing but the complete acknowledgment letter that they fail to adhere to. I want all of my income included and I need answers. I am going into 90 days past due and can not afford an illegal foreclosure because they are acting as if they dont have to adhere to laws and guidelines. I want all of our income included in this evaluation.

Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
After submitting a complaint with the FDIC, Synchrony Bank has begun retaliating against me with my other credit cards under their umbrella. In XXXX, I submitted a complaint because Synchrony Bank arbitrarily reduced my credit limit on a store card ( Ashley Home Furnishings ). I was nowhere near my limit at the time ( my previous limit being over {$1000.00} and my balance being only {$300.00} ), I was making regular on time payments- including overpayments, and I had no derogatory issues on my credit report. The issue appears to have started when another banking institution ( I've submitted a complaint on here about them ) lured me into using their card with requirements that I charge a certain amount of money within the first 3 months in order to get their airline rewards. After I did exactly what that institution wanted me to do ( to get the airline rewards ), they immediately reduced my credit limit - which lead to the misleading idea on my credit report that I was overusing my credit card since I now was at my limit. ( I was not using my credit card to its limit. The bank dropped the limit without cause. ) After this bank did that, Synchrony followed suit on my Ashely Home Furnishing card. In each instance these banks claim that my lack of real estate is one of the major deciding factors to their decision to drop my limit... though all of them gave me those card with those limits while I had no real estate. Fed up with this game these companies play, I submitted a complaint against both companies - and now Synchrony Bank has retaliated by reducing my limit on another card under their umbrella ( an XXXX XXXX ) using the exact same pathetic language : no real estate. When will you all take action? You are meant to be a " government agency that makes sure banks, lenders, and other financial companies treat [ consumers ] fairly ''. There is no reason for the actions of both Synchrony Bank and the other institution that is targeting me. There are no derogatory actions on my credit report, I have not missed any payments, nor have I been paying late. These actions are bad for the consumer and are absolutely a bait and switch program that is only harmful to our economy.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported to be removed/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.

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!
