Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing multiple closed accounts that are being reported on my Equifax credit report but are not being reported by XXXX or XXXX. These accounts are all closed and have {$0.00} balances. Some are many years old and appear to be outdated. 

Here are examples of the accounts showing only on Equifax : XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$5900.00} ( Reported XX/XX/XXXX, Closed ) XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$3100.00} ( Reported XX/XX/XXXX, Closed ) XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX {$6600.00} ( Reported XX/XX/XXXX, Closed ) XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX {$3000.00} ( Reported XX/XX/XXXX, Closed ) XXXX {$0.00} ( Reported XX/XX/XXXX, Closed ) XXXX XXXX {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, Closed ) XXXX  Automated Collection {$0.00} ( Reported XX/XX/XXXX, Closed ) These closed accounts do not appear on my other reports, and many of them should have aged off by now. I believe this is an example of inconsistent and potentially outdated reporting by Equifax. 

I am requesting that Equifax conduct an investigation and either verify, suppress, or remove these accounts from my credit file in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This is important for the fair and accurate representation of my credit profile. 

Thank you for your help in resolving this matter.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I am deeply concerned about the derogatory rating on my account and its significant impact on my credit standing. This negative mark has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and triggered increased interest rates on my existing credit accounts. The financial and emotional distress this situation has caused is severe and will continue until this matter is properly resolved.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account in XX/XX/XXXX to purchase a new home electrical XXXX  for approximately {$3400.00} and set up auto-pay with Synchrony Bank XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, Synchrony Bank charged my account {$2000.00} in deferred interest without notifying me of the upcoming expiration date which was XX/XX/XXXX. If they had communicated with me, I would have paid the balance in full. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a representative of Synchrony Bank explaining this and they told me there was nothing they could do. I offered to pay {$500.00} for missing the expiration and they declined. I believe this is an unfair business practice to charge {$2000.00} in deferred interest for a XXXX time purchase of {$3400.00} which I was making timely payments on. On XX/XX/XXXX I subtracted the {$2000.00} in interest from the balance they were telling me I owed and made a payment of {$1400.00} and then turned off autopay and closed the account. In my opinion, this is bogus to charge someone over {$2000.00} for missing a promotion expiration date by 30 days. Thanks for your time.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Paid off balance prior to due date only to find that they charged additional interest on top of interest. I understand that this the company 's policy, but this is unethical and should be stopped. I just want to go on record on behalf of customers who are being taken advantage of by these big companies. YOU CAN NEVER REALLY PAY OFF YOUR BILL UNLESS YOU PAY THE DATE THAT YOUR STATEMENT IS CREATED. It is an unacceptable policy that needs to be stopped by government agencies. Thank you. 

I was charged an additional {$27.00} in interest, which I have scheduled the payment for the next due date. The company should act in good faith and credit my account for that additional interest. They got enough from me already.

Company: Vanguard Financial Services, Inc.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I called the number XXXX I had found on a XXXX XXXX that said it was to Vanguard Financial Services XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX According to my credit report I had a {$500.00} debt with this company that I wanted to resolve and pay in full. Upon speaking with the representative, who did not give her name, and telling her about my credit report findings she asked for my social security number and then asked what debts I was aware of and then proceeded to tell me about the other debts I held with them that I'd not heard a ring about, never received a notice, nothing. Not one time during all of this did the rep state the mini Miranda letting me know I was being recorded. She asked me to confirm my child 's name who is on one of the debts, my address, phone number, even my physics bs mailing address and never once told me any of this was in an attempt to collect a debt and any info given would be used for that purpose. I ended up paying 2 debts off, one that I never knew existed, and asked for them to send me something in the mail with all of this info on it. The rep seemed hesitating as if the do not send out bills! The only notice she told me that she could send was a negotiation to pay in full for 10 % off for this other debt that I had never even heard of! How can they not send out bills and expect people to pay their debts? I've never heard of such a thing. I've never received any notice from them on even the debts I paid today! I only had knowledge of the one {$500.00} debt because it is on my credit report hurting my credit. The other. {$100.00} debt was in my son 's name so I wanted that off immediately as well! But never have I received any mailings from Vanguard Financial nor will I apparently be receiving a receipt showing the payments I made on my debts! I wondered for awhile if perhaps I had just been scammed. I sure hope not!
