Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
There are clear bank errors in billing and reporting that are negatively affecting my credit. Under TILA ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), creditors must accurately reflect payments and credits, yet several mistakes have occurred payments I made were not properly recorded, and there are obvious calculation errors in the reported amounts. Additionally, I was not given the required 21-day notice before a payment was due, which invalidates any late payment marks. These reporting issues violate federal law and have unfairly damaged my credit standing.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Experian allowed a collection account from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX ) to show up on my credit report without ever verifying it with me. I never gave permission or written consent for this to be added, and yet its there, damaging my credit. Ive already asked for validation in the collection agency by filing also here in the CFPB last XX/XX/year>, but they havent provided anything. No signed contract, no breakdown of the alleged balance, no proof of who even owns the debt or has the legal right to collect it. This completely violates 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) of Regulation F, which says Im supposed to get proper verification when I ask for it. On top of that, I never even got a real chance to dispute this, which is a violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). And yet Experian still reported this to my credit file like its accurate, thats not just unfair, its illegal under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) of the FCRA. Also, how can I even trust Experians report when this same account isnt the same information reported by the other credit bureaus? Thats a major red flag. If the information isnt consistent across CRAs, then it clearly doesnt meet the maximum possible accuracy standard under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). It makes me seriously question how Experian verifies anything or if theyre just blindly accepting whatever gets submitted without checking with the consumer at all. At this point, I want this account permanently removed from my Experian credit file. It was reported without consent, without verification, and without following proper procedures. Its causing damage that shouldnt be happening, and Experian needs to be held accountable. This entire situation has been frustrating, stressful, and completely avoidable if they had just followed the law. Additionally, I can not file a new FTC complaint since the FTC website is currently shut down, which is another hurdle in resolving this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I opened the CapitalOne Quicksilver credit card in XX/XX/year>. When I applied for this credit card, I saw on CapitalOne 's website that if my application was approved, I would receive a one-time {$200.00} cash bonus. However, to receive the bonus, I had to make purchases of {$500.00} or more within XXXX months. Since opening this new card, I have made purchases of {$500.00} or more within XXXX months, but I have not received the one-time cash bonus. When I contacted CapitalOne about this, they denied ever offering such a one-time cash bonus. That's not true. I explained the situation and assured them I wasn't lying, but they didn't accept my claim. I spoke to CapitalOne supervisors twice : on XX/XX/year>, and XX/XX/year>. However, they gave me the same answer regarding my one-time cash bonus : they couldn't offer me a cash bonus because there was never any such offer for my credit card.

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.

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent Dave Inc via email a letter of revocation to stop all future ach payments. I had a payment due to come out on XX/XX/XXXX. Dave Inc acknowledged my email with a reply that stated they weren't legally obligated to honor my letter. So I then contacted my bank and advised them of the situation they advised me that looking through my account and seeing previous withdrawals from the company it was being withdrawn from my debit card. We canceled the debit card and I was issued a new one. I then followed up with another email to Dave Inc. and advised that I had spoken with my bank and that any monies withdrawn by them would be without my consent. They again replied that they were under no obligation to honor my revocation letter. On XX/XX/year> Dave inc./ Dave.com with XXXX payments via ach through my checking account totalling {$620.00} again without my consent. The manager at the bank told me someone else came in with this same issue dealing with the same company! I am looking into ways to remedy this with my bank on my end as these fraudulent withdrawals has caused my checking account to go into the negative. Hoping and looking forward to some sort of resolve.
