Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I have both a transfer balance and a purchase balance on my credit card. When I used the transfer balance promotion, I was informed that I needed to pay the full purchase balance and the minimum payment for the transfer balance each month. According to my conversation with the bank associate, I was told that my purchase balance for XXXX was {$110.00} as of XX/XX/year>. Consequently, I made a payment of {$110.00} on that date. I noticed that my minimum payment balance was {$0.00}, which seemed strange to me, so I immediately confirmed with the bank associate whether I needed to make a minimum payment for XXXX. The associate confirmed that I did not. 

However, I was charged interest of {$5.00} on the purchase balance and {$6.00} on the transfer balance on XX/XX/year>. After speaking with another bank associate on XX/XX/XXXX, I realized two things : first, there was an issue with the bank 's system. My customized payment was not treated as a payment toward my purchase balance but was instead applied as a payment toward my minimum payment that I had set up for autopay, which is why it showed a {$0.00} balance for the minimum payment. Second, the bank associate I spoke with on XX/XX/year> did not have sufficient knowledge to advise me correctly on how much I needed to pay for that month and provided me with incorrect information. Both situations were beyond my control, and I believe I should not be held responsible for the resulting charges. 

Additionally, I should have received my reward points from the promotion for XXXX and XXXX. The promotion was to spend {$200.00} each month from XXXX to XXXX and receive XXXX additional promotional bonus points each month. I have only received XXXX promotional bonus, but I havent received the promotional bonuses for XXXX and XXXX.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries currently listed on my credit report. I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
This prolonged issue has caused ongoing financial strain and has negatively affected both my credit standing and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been not only frustrating but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history. This includes the timely correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore urging your office to take immediate and appropriate action to update or delete the reported late payment entries in question.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

On the PayPal credit app, there's a number shown called " amount to avoid standard and deferred interest ''. When a payment toward this number is made, that number does not update. When you click into the help for the definition, it doesn't say anything about staying static until the next billing statement. It does say, XXXX 'Amount to avoid Standard and Deferred Interest ' This is calculated by adding up the balances that will be subject to interest next billing cycle if not paid in full ( with the exception of any Financed Easy Payments Purchase balance ) and Monthly Plan Payments due : Balances of all Standard Purchases and/or Cash Advances + Remaining balance of Deferred Interest Purchases that are expiring in the current billing cycle + Monthly Plan Payment due on any Easy Payments Purchase Amount to avoid Standard and Deferred Interest on your next statement XXXX If I read everything, I'm led to believe I still owe money even after I pay it all off.
