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 XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 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: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am a notary. As a notary it is my responsibility to protect individual 's personal and private information. I have used PayPal services for quite some time now and I can not recall a time before today where my account was suspended or put on hold as a result of a transaction. The transaction that occurred yesterday was where I sent a payment of {$65.00} to a friend of mine for her assistance with a few projects. The payment was put on hold because, from what I can tell, I had referenced the names of the individuals in the memo portion of the payment. I did this for her reference and have done this on prior occasions. The email I received today, XX/XX/year>, indicated that I needed to provide the date of birth for one of the individuals that I mentioned in the memo for the payment. Legally I can not provide personal or private information for anyone other than myself and I am appalled that this is something that PayPal thinks they can do. I shared with them if this was in the medical field this would be a violation of HIPAA. I can not believe it is legal for them to be able to make such a request just to be able to process or release a transaction which, by the way, is no different from other transactions I have made to this same friend of mine for the same reasons. I think their request is illegal and unethical and highly unprofessional.

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

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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 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!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized inquiries that appear on my credit report, as well as to assert my rights concerning the documentation you may request from me in relation to this dispute. 
Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified the following unauthorized inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I did not authorize these inquiries, and I believe they have been made in error or without my knowledge or consent. As such, I request that you investigate these inquiries and remove them from my credit report if they are found to be unauthorized. 
Furthermore, I would like to assert that, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am not required to provide an FTC report or a Police report to dispute inaccuracies on my credit report. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute from a consumer, without placing undue burdens on the consumer. Demanding an FTC report or a Police report as a prerequisite for investigating my dispute is not only unnecessary but also places an undue burden on me as a consumer. 
I expect you to adhere to the FCRA 's guidelines and conduct a thorough investigation into the unauthorized inquiries without requiring any additional reports from me. Failure to do so may result in further action on my part to ensure my rights under the FCRA are upheld. 
Please acknowledge receipt of this leter and inform me of the steps you will be taking to address my concerns. I expect a response within 30 days, as stipulated by the FCRA. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this mater. I trust that you will handle this dispute with the seriousness and urgency it warrants
