Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have diligently submitted XXXX  investigation request letters to Equifax, however, to my disappointment, they have failed to respond or take any necessary action. This blatant disregard for the established guidelines of the Fair Credit Reporting Act is concerning and warrants attention. Enclosed are copies of the aforementioned letters, as well as the driver 's license and utility bill that have been consistently provided to Equifax. Not only have they disregarded my requests, but they have also lied to the government in a previous complaint submission, demonstrating a lack of respect for the authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and its consumers. It is disconcerting to see such negligence and disregard from a company entrusted with sensitive personal information. It is my sincere hope that this complaint will reach the Director of the CFPB and prompt a thorough investigation. I am prepared to pursue legal action if necessary.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 those account 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 XXXXXXXX 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

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was offered a DOJ forgiveness loan modification through with the Home Loan Team for Bank of America ( BOA ), N.A. that served my former Account # XXXX. I had completed my trial period plan. The DOJ forgiveness loan modification program paid BOA a principal reduction of {$410000.00} for which my ex-husband and I were in default for. When he was in the home, he did not pay the loan for " XXXX '' years and 11 months. 

In getting the forgiveness modification solely with my name, a Substitute Trustee was ordered by the XXXX XXXX XXXX County, MD District Court to sign the quit claim deed for my ex-husband, removing him from the deed of trust for my home. The contents of the forgiveness modification were shared with the county district court judge, my lawyer and the substitute trustee who all signed off on the removal of my ex-husband 's name to get the deed solely in my name. 

The principal balance was permanently reduced solely identifying me on the XXXX IRS Form 1099-C. However, BOA refused to take his name off of the note because they said that I was still in default when I signed the DOJ forgiveness loan modification program agreement. BOA said that they would allow me to take his name off of the note if I refinanced the loan, taking me out of the DOJ forgiveness loan modification program. 
This appears to be fraudulent because BOA has already been paid by DOJ for the default portion of my loan and getting another loan would allow them to be repaid again. 
Currently, my loan is with XXXX XXXX through the servicer XXXX XXXX XXXX under Account # XXXX. It appears that Bank of America Corp is one of the largest shareholders of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Please make the violations by BOA right by enforcing the government regulations stipulated for them to receive the funding to help homeowners move forward in good faith. Immediately have my ex-husband removed off of the loan that I received through the DOJ forgiveness modification program. I worked with XXXX XXXX XXXX and his team from XXXX XXXX. The DOJ forgiveness loan modification was sent by XXXX XXXX for the BOA Home Loan Team. The ordered substitute trustee was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, for XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX.
