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.

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.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Chimes handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Chime numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Chime failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Chime has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Transunion for the continued reporting of inaccurate late payment entries, despite my dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX Late Dates Reported XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX BANK XXXX XXXX Late Dates Reported XXXX. XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Late Dates Reported XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Late Dates Reported XX/XX/XXXX. These late payment notations are the direct result of the furnishers internal reporting errors. I never failed to make timely payments on these accounts. The furnishers misreported my payment history to Transunion, yet Transunion continues to publish this inaccurate information on my credit file. I previously disputed these inaccuracies with Transunion under FCRA 1681i, which requires them to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and delete or correct any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Transunion failed to conduct a proper investigation and continues to report these unverifiable late payments. Per FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers are prohibited from reporting information they knowor have reasonable cause to believeis inaccurate. Despite this, Transunions reinvestigation process failed to identify or correct these reporting errors. These false late payment entries have caused significant damage to my creditworthiness, emotional distress, and financial harm, as they have negatively impacted my credit score and ability to obtain favorable credit terms.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurate personal and account information being reported on my credit file. 
First, the address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX is being reported as one of my previous addresses, which is inaccurate. I have never resided at this address, and its continued appearance on my credit report creates confusion in verifying my identity and may link me to accounts that do not belong to me. Under FCRA 607 ( b ), consumer reporting agencies must ensure maximum possible accuracy of consumer information, and under 611 ( a ), I am requesting a reinvestigation and removal of this inaccurate address. 
Additionally, the account XXXX ( Account XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX is being reported as Late/Closed even though the balance is {$0.00}, and the account was fully paid and closed in good standing. Reporting late payments on a paid or closed account misrepresents my payment history and violates FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits furnishers from reporting information they know or should know is inaccurate. 
I am filing this complaint in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurate personal and account information being reported on my credit file.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because Comenity Capital Bank is reporting an account that was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/year>. 

My XXXX  credit report shows Comenity is still reporting a charged-off account with a balance of {$630.00} even though the debt has been sold. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 623 ( a ) ( 5 ), once a debt is sold or transferred, the original creditor must report a {$0.00} balance and note that it was sold to another lender. 

This ongoing balance reporting is inaccurate and misleading because XXXX XXXX XXXX is already reporting the same debt as a collection. 

I request that Comenity Capital Bank update this account to reflect a {$0.00} balance and sold to another lender, or remove it entirely to ensure compliance with the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.

I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
