Consumer complaint received 2025-02-21 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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! 


XXXX5 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. 


EQUIFAX 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a debt that Jefferson Capital Systems claims I owe. I have previously requested validation of this debt, yet the company has failed to provide the legally required proof that I am responsible for the alleged obligation. Furthermore, this debt is beyond the statute of limitations. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ), I am entitled to verification of the debt, which requires more than a mere account statement or past-due bill. A debt collector must provide documentation proving : -That the debt is valid and legally enforceable, including a contract or agreement bearing my signature. 
-A detailed account history, including payments made and how the balance was calculated. 
-That Jefferson Capital Systems has the legal right to collect the debt. 

To date, the company has failed to meet these requirements. Additionally, I am aware that the statute of limitations for this type of debt in Oklahoma has expired, meaning I am no longer legally obligated to pay it. Attempting to collect on a time-barred debt, particularly through misleading or deceptive means, may constitute a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX and XXXX ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) if it is inaccurately reported to credit bureaus.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Financial closed several of my accounts while all in good standing, no 30 day lates. They have closed out my PayPal credit accounts and 6 other credit cards, a mixture of store cards and charge anywhere cards. This practice has been done by Synchrony with thousands of consumers instantly ruining good standing credit. I think its time their books are went through with a fine tooth comb and quit letting them play shell games with consumers credit to make their books and bottom line look more appeasing.
