Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

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 on my XXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. 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.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Transunion is unable to fix several issues with my account. Although I can logon and authenticate via phone or web, 1 ) I am blocked from requesting or receiving a copy of my Transunion credit report ; 2 ) I can not access the ability to freeze or unfreeze my Transunion credit report ; 3 ) Credit companies are telling me they can not access my report because it is frozen, but Transunion indicates it is unfrozen and can not /will not assist further. 

This issue has been present for years, and it is related to the error code 219 that is reported by many people. The federal government and U.S. Attorney General 's office need to take action against this company. They are integral in the economy, know almost everything about people, yet can not even run their own systems correctly. They need to fix these issues proactively once and for all, or lose their ability to operate in the U.S. market.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
To whom may concern, please be advised I have been discussing mortgage assistance options with specialized loan servicing from the beginning of XXXX. I have responded to all of the requests for documentation in a timely manner only for them to return and request the same information over and over again. Specialized loan servicing and its agents have systematically created an environment to put myself and clients like myself in a position of default. I believe this to be a business strategy of theirs. Additionally, in all of my conversations agents led me to believe that any settlements would not have negative impact on my personal credit, and they have gone ahead and reported negatively on my personal credit on a commercial account where the borrower is an entity. I ask you remove any negative reporting on my personal credit immediately and ask that you investigate specialized loan servicing for their practices in general and in specific with mortgageassistance

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I believe there is an internal breach at Bank of America. I opened an account with them recently as a back up account. I never use the account for daily debit transactions or use my debit card anywhere. The first time my card was compromised was XX/XX/year>. I was able to dispute the charges, and get the claim resolved. I thought the issue surrounding my card being compromised was off since the card had XXXX usage. Staff at BofA informed me that if I do not plan on using the debit card, to lock it as soon as I receive the replacement card. I did exactly that. As soon as I received my new card, I activated it, and locked it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I got notifcation that there was a debit attempt on my new BofA Debit card, but it was blocked because my card was locked. This raised some HUGE concerns because there is XXXX way for my card to be compromised if I never used it anywhere and had locked it immediately after receiving it. I believe either this is either internal staff stealing consumer information OR there is a security breach at BofA. I asked the staff to escalate my issue, and she informed me that they will review, but I will not recieve any follow up. Please investigate this issue. My security and many others is not safe banking with BofA, and the activities are EXTREMELY suspicious.
