Company: LAKE MICHIGAN CREDIT UNION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> lake michigan credit union called me and advised me I will be " breached '' in a couple of days witch would've been 34 days late at the time. 
That same day I called back due to not understanding why I was going to be breatched so early I was informed that I have " 60 days before your account becomes breatched '' so I didn't panic because I would be able to figure out one payment by that point. 

On XX/XX/year> I went into a branch to pay my late payment and was told that they won't take it unless I pay the amount in full witch would've been 2 months due to them breatching my mortgage on XX/XX/year>. So I tried to contact the mortgage department to sort it out and they said " i do see it in the notes that someone told you 60 days but that was misinformation ''. And i spoke to the head of the department ( XXXX ) and told him i wanted him to listen to the calls and go back on the notes and he laughed at me and said they wouldn't have told me that that I was making it up so I requested the calls to file a law suit and was told " I can't give out that information " XX/XX/year> I contacted a mortgage lawyer and he said the amount of money I would have to spend to fight it I might as well pay the payments

Complaint narrative:
This is in reference to my Lowes/Synchrony Bank account . 
I paid the charge account in full and the following month I received a bill for {$3.00} which when I called to find out what this charge was, I was told it is interest on the balance as soon as the bill goes out whether this is paid in full or not. I believe that this practice should not be allowed and something should be done that companies should not penalize there customers for paying off there charge card. Please look into this for me. They refuse to wave this. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX also does this but when you call their customer service department, they wave it. 

Thank you

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX Subject : Request for Deletion of Expired Account Information Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to formally dispute the continued reporting of an account associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account Number XXXX, on my credit report. This account, opened on XX/XX/XXXX, was closed as of XX/XX/XXXX, and contains negative payment information from XXXX. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ), negative information such as late payments can only be reported for seven years from the date of first delinquency. In this case : The first delinquency occurred in XX/XX/XXXX, followed by further late payments in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 
As of late XXXX, these negative marks exceed the seven-year reporting limit and should no longer appear on my credit report. 
Given that this account is now beyond the legally permissible reporting period, I respectfully request the following actions : Immediate deletion of this account from my credit report with all major credit bureaus ( Experian, XXXX, and XXXX ). 
Confirmation of this deletion in writing once the request has been fulfilled. 
I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the account in question for your reference. Please also be reminded that, under the FCRA, you are required to investigate and respond to this dispute within 30 days. 
Failure to address this matter appropriately may result in me filing further complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and other regulatory bodies. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your written confirmation of the requested deletion. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint to TRANSUNION regarding unauthorized inquiries reflected in my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit file, I noticed that several companies have accessed my credit report without my permission. These inquiries were made without my knowledge or consent, and I did not authorize any of these companies to review my credit history. As a result, I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) have been violated, specifically the provision that requires a company to have a permissible purpose before accessing my credit information. I respectfully request an immediate investigation into these unauthorized inquiries and that the TRANSUNION will remove them from my report. I am also requesting that the companies responsible for these unauthorized inquiries provide documentation showing that they had the required consent or permissible purpose to access my credit file. I trust that your agency will take the necessary steps to address this violation and ensure my credit report is corrected in accordance with the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX 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. 


XXXX XXXX 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
