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: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I received a 41 days past due notification on my Credit Report for an account that was paid before the 30 days late. My payments are due on the XXXX of each month. I make sure my payments are paid. My payment for XXXX was processed on XX/XX/XXXX but the payment processed with my bank before my direct deposit hit my account, so my bank returned the payment and I understand XXXX charges a {$15.00} ach return fee, XXXX retried the payment XX/XX/XXXX and the payment was made for {$94.00} ( monthly payment ) and {$15.00} ( ach return fee ) and both payments were successful. I had no knowledge of the {$15.00} Late Fee that was charged XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX when I got the notification and spoke with a customer service rep that verified I was 41 days late. Even though my account was current this company forwarded my account to a third-party collection agency for a {$15.00} late fee and reported to the credit bureaus that I was 41 days late even though my account was paid XX/XX/XXXX and current. When I called to resolve the issue, I paid the {$15.00} XX/XX/XXXX and I was told that I couldn't get the 41 days late payment removed from my credit report which I don't understand because my monthly payment was made before the 30 days late.

Company: CBC Companies, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Innovis requires phone number verification during the login process to the online account, as shown in the attached document. I successfully requested the removal of many old phone numbers, leaving only phone number A, which is currently my secondary phone number. Consequently, when I log into my online account, only phone number A appears for verification. However, I would prefer to use my primary phone number B for authentication in addition.

Innovis instructed me to contact my lenders to update my information with phone number B. Regrettably, after reaching out to three credit card companies, one mortgage company, and one auto loan company, all of them informed me that they do not report phone numbers to credit bureaus. Only XXXX  XXXX XXXX, which reported my phone number A to Innovis, was an exception. Nevertheless, the associated credit card was closed years ago, and I am not inclined to open a new XXXX  XXXX XXXX Credit Card solely for this purpose ( please refer to the attached document ). 

Innovis further requested that I provide a phone bill and driver 's license to add phone number B. Consequently, I submitted all the required documents, including my social security card. Upon receiving my letter, Innovis removed phone number A from the system ; however, several even older phone numbers appeared ( as shown in the attached document ), while phone number B is currently under investigation.

Complaint narrative:
Hello-I would to submit a formal complaint with XXXX, the consumer credit reporting agency. Due to recent identity theft, I have an account with XXXX and my credit report was on 'freeze ' with them. I came to learn that someone ( fraudster ) hacked into my account and lifted my credit freeze on two occasions ; XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. According to XXXX, a person logged into my online account and lifted the credit freeze ( twice ) but that was the only information they provided me. I don't understand how someone can just hack into an online account without XXXX password nor my e-mail password. ( When you log into XXXX, there is a 2 step verification/ authentication where a XXXX digit numeric code is sent to your e-mail from XXXX XXXX but I didn't receive these codes on both occasions ; XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. ) I'm think this can be an inside job? I still want answers around who hacked into my account and how they can prevent this going forward. When you call in, the XXXX representatives always asks me and other consumers their Social Security No. 's ( full XXXX digits ) and other personal information when you try to resolve issues with them. This is a big concern as I have experienced a security breach and the fraudster tried to open numerous credit cards ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXd ) during this time period. 

I had a very similar experience with Equifax, where they told me that someone ( fraudster ) called in and lifted my 'credit freeze '. How can this be possibly done? Equifax did provide me with a confirmation no. XXXX. 

This is a serious matter. The companies and letting fraudsters unfreeze credit reports. I am not sleeping well, and restless thinking that someone can hack into my account anytime and unfreeze my credit report. Please help me, thank you!
