Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX 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 60 days 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.

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

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to use the card according how it is outlined on their website by having the card run as credit ( or debit ) only. Nothing works. 

I called customer service at XXXX on XX/XX/year> and the agent said it is because all the merchants are not returning the information they ( Amex XXXX wants, so it will continue to decline. Keeping this in mind, then why would the merchant try yet again for {$320.00} charge and Amex finally does two {$.00} transactions as pending, totaling {$.00}. If the merchant isn't giving you what you want, then why would suddenly after several attempts would {$.00} go pending? 

It is not the merchant, it is Amex who is holding the money XXXX. 

They said I could try in person, but couldn't guarantee this would work either. 

I have tried using with XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and USD Reservations. The card is falsely advertised as it will work anywhere, and it indeed, does not. 

Why does XXXX and XXXX process just fine? Why are there thousands of users online who also can't use Amex gift cards, but can use XXXX and XXXX?

Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally submit a report regarding a debt that has been negatively impacting my credit report. The account in question is from Fair Collections & Outsourcing and was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, with an amount of {$3800.00}. I have serious concerns about this debt and its validity, as I believe it does not belong to me. 

I have made multiple attempts to dispute this debt directly with Fair Collections & Outsourcing and have requested further details regarding its origin and nature, but I have not received satisfactory responses. The account indicates that the responsibility is joint, which is perplexing, as I have no knowledge of any joint obligation related to this debt. 

Additionally, I have been a resident of Maryland since XX/XX/XXXX, and I believe this debt may not be applicable to my circumstances. The latest report I received was dated XX/XX/XXXX, and it continues to show that I dispute this information, which has significantly harmed my credit standing. 

Given these issues, I am requesting your assistance in investigating this matter. I believe this debt should not be on my credit report, and I would appreciate any guidance or action you can take to help resolve this situation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Kind regards, XXXX XXXX

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. ''
