Complaint narrative:
My account with the following companies were never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in to be removed.

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.

The following companies never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account — Problem accessing account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
A number of years ago, I opened a CITI account with credit cards, a savings account, and an XXXX account with over {$10000.00} invested in it. 

On approximately XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX, I closed my XXXX account ( ending in XXXX ) by calling CITI. The rep assured me it was no problem. He closed my savings account on my request. On the mobile app, it was taking a few weeks to update the account changes, but the app told me the XXXX account was closing. Finally on about XX/XX/XXXX the savings account was deleted as normal. 

Extremely unusually, on XX/XX/XXXX my XXXX account stopped showing in my mobile app with no warning. 

I called CITI on the same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and was told the savings account was linked in CITIs documents to the investment account, so I can no longer see my transactions, stock investments, or even worth on the app anymore. I was told, however, my investment acct was still active with them. At no point was I informed an investment account was linked to a savings account. Nor did I consent to this, as I opened each account separately. 

Most stock brokers have an obligation to report clear data to customers. Intentionally hiding someones financial brokerage information, while previously having it readily available, is unheard of in the industry. CITI gave no reason for suddenly hiding my access to my investment account, except my savings account was closed. This leads me to believe this may have been retaliation or an attempt to coerce customers to use unrelated CITI products. 

At no point in this process, including opening or closure, was I told any of this. On the phone, I was told my only option to regain access was to open additional CITI accounts, such as a checking, savings, or another type or investment account which could then be transferred by a team. My CITI account still shows my credit cards, but my brokerage account was wrongfully hidden on the basis of an unrelated account, which is not necessary to continue to provide this data. 

This incident is in direction violation of fiduciary duties owed by a bank to a client, as well as several specific laws.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Failure to Validate Credit Report Information Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, On XX/XX/2024, I sent an affidavit to the CEO of TransUnion, demanding proof of validation for information reported on my credit reports. Despite my request, I received no response from the agency. Instead, they began disputing the information themselves, further suggesting that they never intended for the reported information to be accurate. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to validate and verify information before reporting it on a consumer 's credit report. Their failure to adhere to this legal obligation has resulted in continued inaccuracies on my credit reports, causing financial harm and emotional distress. 

I am demanding immediate corrective actions, including : Permanent deletion of all unverified and inaccurate information. 
Compensation for damages resulting from these inaccuracies and their failure to comply with the FCRA. 

I request a prompt investigation and a response detailing the actions taken to address these concerns. 

Thank you in advance.

Company: Servicer under contract with Federal Student Aid
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am missing a total of XXXX Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) payments in the Federal Student Aid ( FSA ) system. I have reached out to FSA via phone, chat, and email with no satisfied result to-date. My original servicers ( Navient and XXXX ) have transmitted my full payment history to FSA, which should therefore reflect the correct number of PSLF payments made. Unfortunately this is not the case as FSA has failed to add XXXX missing payments to my account over a 4-year period, including, XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX ). I have submitted multiple request on the FSA website for reconsideration of PSLF payment count and my the payments mentioned above have not been updated in my account. I have also provided FSA with documented proof from the original servicer showing my full payment history along with corresponding bank statements. I have worked for the same qualifying employer since XX/XX/XXXX and have certified my employment consistently with the last date being XX/XX/XXXX. For the XXXX missing payment months mentioned above, I was in repayment status and was not on any forbearance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
