Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Immediate Action Needed : Approve Outstanding Borrower Defense Applications To the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, We are writing as a collective group of defrauded students and alumni who attended XXXXaffiliated schools, urging immediate action to approve outstanding Borrower Defense applications and provide full relief for those impacted. 
Many of us attended the following institutions owned by or affiliated with XXXX, where misrepresentations and predatory practices have been well-documented : * XXXX University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Department of Education has already found significant evidence of misconduct by these schools. Specifically, XXXX University misrepresented job placement rates to prospective students between XXXX and XXXX, falsely claiming that 90 % of graduates secured jobs in their field of study within six months of graduation. This claim, widely advertised in national campaigns and direct mailings, was later revealed to be grossly inaccurate. XXXX included old jobs held by mid-career students before enrolling and excluded graduates who found employment outside their field of study. 
At its peak, XXXX enrolled nearly 70,000 students across campuses in 26 states and through an online program accessible nationwide. The scale of this deception has left countless students burdened with unmanageable debt and limited opportunities, as documented in the Department of Educations Borrower Defense Executive Summary and Statements of Facts.

We are asking you to take immediate steps to : 1. Approve all outstanding Borrower Defense applications for students who attended these institutions.

2. Discharge all loans associated with fraudulent practices, including consolidated loans.

3. Repair borrowers credit reports to reflect the removal of these fraudulent debts.

Delaying action only prolongs the harm caused by these predatory institutions, leaving borrowers unable to move forward with their lives. Many of us pursued higher education to achieve the American Dream, but this dream was stolen by the very institutions we trusted to help us achieve it.

We implore you to act decisively to ensure justice for all borrowers who were misled and exploited. The stakes are simply too high to risk further delays. 
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. 
Sincerely, Students & Graduates of XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
After doing due diligence in reading California and federal consumer laws, I made a proper payment from one of my accounts held at Golden 1 Credit Union on XX/XX/year>. Golden 1 Credit Union has not provided any legal basis in not accepting my payment. Golden 1 Credit Union has not provided a verified response in accordance with California Civil Code of Procedure 2015.5. Furthermore they have been taken adverse actions without resolving the matter, by closing account and submitting negative reporting to the credit reporting agencies. Golden 1 Credit Union has only shown to me that it is not operating under the laws of California and United States and that it does not respect an individual 's rights that are guaranteed by the California and U.S. Constitutions. Golden 1 Credit Union 's accounting fails to show transparency on all transactions done with my accounts.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX AND DPT EDXXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witHXX/XX/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. 

XXXX AND DPT EDXXXX 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
