Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX oXXXX XXXX I mailed a letter of dispute to Equifax about an account and an inquiry that is listed on my credit report. Both things are not mine. Neither credit bureau responded, investigated, or removed the items. I feel violated and I am severely stressed out trying to correct this issue with these bureaus. They repeatedly and continually ignore my letters on purpose. This is causing me stress and financial challenges. I am only mailing them disputes because they are ignoring me and I really want this problem to be fixed. According to FCRA Law if they do not respond after 30 days, this disputed item has to be removed immediately! Not only did they not respond but they did not provide me with the proof that anything was validated. I requested proof of a contract or document with my wet signature on it showing that I authorized any inquiry or account and I received nothing. Please help me with this situation.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Dear Sir/Madam , I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally bring to your attention a concerning matter regarding my interactions with Capital One Bank, as detailed below. 

On Thursday, XX/XX/year>, at approximately XXXX XXXX Eastern Time, I spoke with Supervisor XXXX, who informed me that an investigation concerning my account had concluded on XX/XX/year>. Regrettably, I was not informed of this conclusion. To my surprise, on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, Supervisors XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX had all indicated to me that the investigation was still ongoing. Supervisor XXXX further conveyed that Capital One often fails to adhere to its own outlined processes, as documented in their email communications. 

Throughout this ordeal, I have engaged with over 50 customer service representatives and 10 supervisors, none of whom informed me that the investigation had been completed. This lack of transparency and inconsistent information has left me deeply concerned and frustrated. 

Given my current health emergency, I urgently request Capital One to either grant me access to my account or transfer the funds to a linked account, as explicitly stipulated in their correspondence. Their emails have assured me that deposits could continue to be made, yet I have been denied access without justification. 

Additionally, I must highlight that due to both health concerns and the evident disregard for transparency by Capital One, I am hesitant to visit a branch in person. The repeated misinformation and apparent mistreatment have not only jeopardized my financial stability but have also compromised my dignity. 

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly and intervene on my behalf. I believe that Capital One 's actions have been unjust and have caused me undue stress and financial hardship during an already challenging time. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue swiftly. 

Very respectfully, XXXX

Account XXXX XXXX This company is reporting negative remarks and late payment in my credit report after I have filed XXXX  XXXX on this account. This letter is regarding the account I have listed with this company. This is a formal notice that claim is disputed. I'm advising you that you have violated the Bankruptcy Code and permanent injunction provisions, basically a cease and desist letter is sent. The case law is pretty clear that a violation of the discharge injunction is punishable with sanctions for damages incurred by the Debtor, which would include reasonable attorneys fee, Thus, the end results will be that the violating creditor will have to fix negative reporting.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX 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 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 months that are reported late 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 XXXX, XXXX XXXX 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
