Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX 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 to be removed/updated. 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. 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!

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Square deactivated my account and is withholding over {$2000.00} of my funds until XX/XX/XXXX. These funds are from legitimate transactions, my identity has been verified, and there are no disputes, chargebacks, or fraud claims. On XX/XX/XXXX, Square notified me that my account was deactivated and my funds would be held for 90 days. Their reasoning is vague, and they refuse to provide further explanation beyond citing internal decisions and card network obligations. This practice is unfair and places an unnecessary financial burden on me by holding funds that rightfully belong to me. I believe this may be an unlawful or predatory business practice.I request that the Attorney Generals office review Squares practices and require Square to release my held funds immediately, or provide a legal justification for withholding them.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
CitiBank Diamond Preferred Credit Card. Have had card since XXXX. Never had an issue mailing payments in 37 years. CitiBank states both my XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX mailed payments did not arrive in time to avoid interest and fees. Mailed from Arizona to California, one mailed 9 days ahead of due date, the other mailed 12 days ahead of due date. CitiBank Statement Account message for last statement indicates " mail no later than XX/XX/XXXX to allow enough time ''. Check was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I was informed that my account was past due and I owed {$190.00} in interest & late charges. Spoke with phone center on XX/XX/XXXX I was told by " XXXX '' & " XXXX '' that my check " would never arrive ''. Concerned, that someone might try to cash my check of {$3500.00}, the same day I went to my bank to try and stop payment on the check. The same day, I paid my entire bill online, resulting in a {$0.00} balance. The next day my check seems to have miraculously appeared at CitiBank, and even though I had no balance they took my money and I now have what they are calling a credit. After multiple conversations with CitiBank telling me how they aren't responsible for the mail or holidays ( there were no holidays between XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) and pretty much blamed me for not using on-line payments. Now, they are telling me that in " 7-10 days '' they will let me know the status of my refund. This is crazy, I have now paid the same bill twice. I do not see how it is possible that it took a check 12 days to get from Arizona to California, and then their words prompted me to go to my bank to stop payment on the check, and then somehow before the check stop-payment action took effect they suddenly cashed the check. So I have now paid twice, and they will let me know in 7-10 days if they are going to refund my {$3500.00}. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and have never had anything like this happen. I definitely felt that XXXX different people at CitiBank call center tried to blame me, for not using on-line bill pay. It just isn't credible to me that it took 12 days for a check to get to XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA from XXXX, AZ, with no holidays in-between and then AFTER they charged me an extra {$190.00} my check suddenly showed up. Two months in a row. Not credible to me.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute an inquiry that recently appeared on my credit report. I want to be very clear : I never authorized this inquiry, nor did I give anyone consent to access my credit file. I have no relationship with the company that initiated it, and I never signed, approved, or otherwise permitted a credit check of any kind. 

This unauthorized access is not only a violation of my privacy, but it has also caused me unnecessary concern about the security of my personal information. Allowing an inquiry to remain on my report when there was no permissible purpose misrepresents my credit history and could unfairly affect my score.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.
