Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has failed to comply with its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 609 by not properly verifying the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in my credit file. I have exercised my right to request full reinvestigation of every item in my report, yet the bureau has either not provided adequate verification or continues to report unverified information.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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. EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Albert Corporation
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Albert XXXX is stealing money from my bank account. I have never signed a contract, signed an agreement, or even signed up for this app. I have never authorized my bank account to be assessed nor have I ever used this so-called account. 

Last XXXX, I noticed I was being charged by an Albert XXXX company. Upon closer inspection, I found that this was an app my daughter did a " free trial '' with in XX/XX/XXXX and immediately cancelled the trial subscription. Apparently that cancellation never went through and this company had charged me XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I called my back, XXXX XXXX and explained the situation. I provided screenshots of me showing there was no way for me to cancel said account as their website did not recognize me as being an accountholder. Thankfully XXXX XXXX was able to provide me a refund ( the amounts charged ranged from {$14.00} to {$21.00} on random days ). Scanning my account now, I see I was charged {$14.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, {$14.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, {$14.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, {$16.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, {$16.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and as of today XX/XX/XXXX there is a pending charge for {$19.00}. This makes NO sense whatsoever. What type of account would someone have where a company is charging random amounts on random days?? This company is flat out STEALING! I want my money back asap.

Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am being harassed by a payday loan/debt collection company. On XX/XX/year>, the company called me, used misleading language about a claim, and pressured me into making a payment without ever providing documentation. 

On XX/XX/year>, I formally requested written validation of the alleged debt. The company falsely claimed they sent documentation on XX/XX/XXXX, but I never received anything. When I informed them of this, they admitted they do not send physical mail and refused to provide written validation in any form. 

Despite my demand for proper written notice, the company has continued to call me most recently on XX/XX/year> repeating the same tactics and pressuring me to pay without proof of the debt. At this point, I have made payments under duress but have never received proper validation. 

This conduct violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which requires debt XXXX to provide written validation of a debt upon request and prohibits continued collection efforts without it. Their false statements, refusal to provide documentation, and repeated harassment are clear violations.

THESE ENTRIES ARE FALSE AND INACCURATE, YET DESPITE MONTHS OF DISPUTING THEM AND PROVIDING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING AN FTC REPORT, THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVED.

I URGE YOU TO TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION BY PERMANENTLY DELETING THESE ACCOUNTS FROM MY REPORT WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Santander Consumer USA is inaccurately reporting my account as XX/XX/XXXX days late ( XXXX XXXX ) even though I was told payments would be placed in hardship/forbearance status due to my car being stolen and under inspection. 

I provided notice to Santander, and their representative confirmed payments would be paused and not reported late. Despite this, they reported me delinquent. When I requested the call records, Santander stated they would not provide them without legal action. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), furnishers must ensure information they report is accurate and complete. Reporting these late payments during a documented hardship period is inaccurate and misleading. 

This inaccurate reporting has negatively impacted my credit profile and ability to secure financing.
