Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

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. 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. ''

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Leased vehicle, left check & they promised not to cash until months end as both husband and I get paid monthly at end of month. Check was not cashed until then as planned. Expressed the need for future payments to be due end of month & was reassured we could change once we received bill. That was apparently not true on a leased vehicle. Had we known that, we would have waited two weeks because it was not a rush for us to get the vehicle. They essentially allowed us to drive off with no payment and a promise of due date changed. Now we are stuck with a payment for the next 3yrs that will not only be late and reflect negatively on our credit, but also accrue late fees and we have not been late on our car payments previously. I have contacted both XXXX finance and the dealership and they just tell us there is nothing they can do because it wasn't in writing. Okay then why did you not cash our check until 2nd week in XXXX when we drove off first week of XXXX if there was no agreement. Bad business.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Charges on Credit Card by Former Spouse Description of Issue : I am disputing two unauthorized charges on my credit card : 1. {$26.00} from XXXX Ads ( early XX/XX/year> ) 2. {$82.00} from XXXX Ads ( early XX/XX/year> ) Years ago, I briefly entered my card information for my former spouse for a one-time XXXX Ads payment, but my card was never actually charged at that time. I did not authorize any ongoing or future charges. 

Recently, these charges occurred without my consent. I had no involvement with the XXXX Ads account, and there is an active protective order against this individual. 
I only became aware of the XXXX {$82.00} charge when my bank sent a fraud alert. I immediately disputed it. 
While reviewing, I discovered the earlier {$26.00} charge and also disputed it. 

Outcome : The {$26.00} XXXX charge was refunded. 
The {$82.00} XXXX charge was denied by the bank, citing authorized use because I had previously provided my card information years ago despite the fact that my card was never previously used, and I had never authorized ongoing charges. 

This represents inconsistent and unfair treatment by the bank. I am requesting : 1. That the bank reverse the {$82.00} charge and classify it as unauthorized.

2. That the bank recognize misuse in cases involving ex-partners and protective orders.
