Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX 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

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Late Payment Reporting on My XXXX XXXX Account Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the inclusion of late payments on my credit report for my XXXX XXXX account. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681 et seq., I request an immediate correction and removal of any such inaccurate or unfairly reported late payments.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a " consumer report '' excludes any report containing information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the entity making the report. As such, late payments that do not impact creditworthiness beyond the direct relationship between XXXX XXXX and myself should not be reported to consumer reporting agencies as adverse credit events. 
Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of credit information must not report information that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. If the reported late payments resulted from extenuating circumstances, billing errors, or delays beyond my control, their inclusion on my credit report would constitute a violation of this provision. 
Additionally, the FCRA grants consumers the right to dispute the completeness and accuracy of any item in their file. Per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, a credit information furnisher must conduct a reasonable investigation and delete or correct any information found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. 
Given these legal protections, I formally request that this credit bureau review this matter and remove any late payment not in compliance with the above provisions. Please provide written confirmation of the actions taken within 30 days, as required under FCRA. 
Should you require any further documentation or clarification, please let me know at your earliest convenience. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. I have attached a copy of the law, which says that the alleged late payment ( s ) should not be reported on my credit report. I ask you kindly to abide by the law and update my account to be paid as agreed. Failure to do so will result in me taking legal action against your credit bureau. I also ask you to provide verifiable proof of payment records showing that I had late payments on this account. The law clearly states that if you are unable to provide this proof, then this is also additional legal grounds for one to request that these late payments be deleted from my consumer report. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccurate reporting on my credit file by XXXX XXXX. This account was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX, as shown in the attached settlement document. However, XXXX XXXX incorrectly updated the account in XX/XX/XXXX, making it appear recent. This false reporting is damaging my credit score and misrepresenting my payment history.

I have attempted to resolve this issue through XXXX, but their online dispute system has been unavailable despite multiple attempts. I am requesting that XXXX XXXX and all credit reporting agencies immediately correct the reporting to reflect the actual date of closure and last payment. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to accurate reporting, and failure to correct this issue is a violation of federal law. I request an urgent review and correction of my file. I expect a written response within the legally required timeframe.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint against Experian regarding unauthorized and improper inquiries appearing on my credit report in violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have identified multiple inquiries on my credit report that are not attached to any open accounts for which I provided written authorization, each one of which I believe is a violation under the law.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( f ), a credit reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report under specific permissible purposes, and any entity requesting my credit report must have my express written consent if not initiated by me. The presence of unauthorized inquiries on my credit file constitutes a violation of the FCRA, as I did not provide written consent for these inquiries.

Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, any person or entity that willfully violates the FCRA is liable for actual damages or statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation. I am requesting financial relief in the amount of {$1000.00} per unauthorized inquiry as restitution for the harm caused to my credit profile and financial standing.

I am formally requesting the CFPB to investigate Experians practices regarding the placement of inquiries and to take appropriate enforcement action. 
I appreciate the CFPBs assistance in addressing this matter and ensuring that Experian upholds its legal obligations under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.
