Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments on My Credit Report I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments that are reported on my credit file maintained by { TransUnion Consumer Solutions }. I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 


Nature of the Complaint : 1. Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts. 
2. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness. 
3. Potential Violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts. 
4. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information. 
Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 
Furthermore, under the FCRA, articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively. These provisions provide for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages, for failure to comply with the Act 's requirements Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX The late payment in question is reported by TransUnion Consumer Solutions for the period of Late Payment Date XX/XX/year>. I believe this information is incorrect and does not comply with the requirements outlined in the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), specifically section 1637 ( b ) of Title 15, which mandates that creditors provide accurate and complete information regarding the terms of credit, including payment history. 
Furthermore, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, furnishers of information must report accurate details. The late payment reported does not reflect my true payment history, and I request that you investigate this matter in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681i.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with balance transfer
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Per a new card offer with no fees for a balance transfer for introductory period, I was first told when I recieve the card it will have the information to initiate the balance transfer which would have XXXXXXXX XXXX my existing card. No information was recieved. 

Upon calling to address this issue and to initiate the transfer it was initiated however here is where the issue arises. Upon initiating the balance transfer there was absolutely zero disclosure that it would not be an electronic transmission via credit channels but a check and it would take 2-10 days to process. Again - NO DISCLOSURE ON MAILED PAYMENT. NO DISCLOSURE ON EXTENDED TIME TO INITIATE PAYMENT. NO DISCLOSURE OR INFORMATION ON HOW TO EVEN INITATE PROCESS. 

I initiated transfer on XX/XX/year> mid afternoon and was due to the third party card issuer no later than XX/XX/year> by XXXX. If electronically initiated, it should have at least been documented as recieved even if still processing. 

By XX/XX/year> there was still no notation of the transfer even being made on either of the two banks apps/sites except for a late payment fee on the one app and which now is reflecting on credit history when it should not as payment was initiated and should have been recieved tiemly within the billing period and by due date/time. 

A complaint was filed with bank regardign the lack of disclosures not being made and for which I could have worked to avoid the late payment and reduced the exhorbitant proesing fee being assessed. 

Attached are the screenshots reflecting the late fee being assessed. Also the transfer amount being reflected from the paying bank but not reflecting the type of transaction - paper of electronic. Both are from XX/XX/year>. Also attached is the screenshot reflecting payment and noted as received electronically. 

To refer back to the fee, per them would have been for paper processing of a check and postage or XXXX  however it would have been transmitted. Again note after compaining to the bank and specifically referencing the lack of disclosures made, payment was then made electronically. I also recieved a call to attempt to update me ad " discuss '' the late payment fee reimbursment ..... 

My compaint was mainly focused on the lack of disclosure and what it would take to clear up their mess and how to communicate with second bank on removing fee and removing all negative reporting from my credit profile. There was no mention of disucssing the lack of disclosures leading to this financial mess. I still have no resolve to clearing up the mess initiated by their lack of disclosures and if they had made proper disclosures I could have attempted an alternate resolve and not even bothered with getting a second credit card.
