Company: ONLINE Information Services, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In 2023, I sold a property and promptly notified XXXX XXXX XXXX of the sale, explicitly informing them that the new owner would assume responsibility for the utility account. I communicated this on multiple occasions and received assurances from XXXX XXXX XXXX that I no longer needed to concern myself with the account, as the new owner would be billed accordingly. 

Despite these assurances, over a year after the property sale and without any communicationsuch as letters, phone calls, or billing statementsXXXX XXXX XXXX  have sent these bills to collections companies who are now demanding payment for an accounts that I no longer own. 

XXXX such collections agency being The XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IA, XXXX ; phone number XXXX demanding {$1100.00}. The second being the collections agency being Online Information Services, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC, XXXX, phone number XXXX, demanding {$800.00}. This account has been sent to collections without any prior outreach to me, resulting in a detrimental impact on my credit score at a crucial time when I am in the process of securing a home and mortgage rates. 

The actions of XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX have caused significant harm to me and my family. We are now at risk of losing the home we have put an offer on and are in the final stages of closing. This situation has created substantial financial and emotional distress for us. 

I kindly request that XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately remove all derogatory notifications related to this account from my credit report and restore my credit report to its proper standing. This action is necessary to allow myself and my family to progress with our home purchase and mitigate the harm caused by this oversight.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX, AND XXXX 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

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from a bank called XXXX which is an affiliate of Wells Fargo in XXXX. The email said that XXXX would be withdrawn from my account against outstanding credit card balances. I don't have an XXXX card and I indicated that to the bank in a return email. I didn't hear from the bank and within 3 days the bank went into my account and withdrew that money. I tried calling the bank but couldn't get through, so I wrote an email to the Chairman of the company, but never heard anything back. The amount was debited to my account without my knowledge or consent.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Bank filed a late payment report to the credit bureau that I missed a payment in XX/XX/2024 I didn't realize this until XX/XX/2024 when I checked my credit report and was informed that I have a payment that is 90 days late. 

I check Synchrony periodically and see that I have a scheduled autopay payment and proceed with my business as normal as it appears however, it seems that the autopay system hasn't been working for at least XX/XX/2024 ( refer to XXXX ) and possibly longer, yet despite that they have not attempted to contact me over the fact that the autopay has failed and my payment hasn't been processed, in addition, it isn't clear in my statement that the payment has failed either. As a result, my credit tanked by over XXXX points. 

Synchrony sends me a monthly email regarding my account ( XXXX ), which also doesn't indicate that my payment is past due. 

In addition, their website is also highly difficult to navigate as when I was applying for XXXX I had to navigate to a different site to send my XXXX orders to their helpdesk which I still can't easily navigate to without support from their customer support line. 

When I initially took out a loan with them I set an autopay system to pay off the credit card over XXXX months as planned, however their autopay defaults to the minimum payment so as XXXX months passed, I was doing less and less in payments causing me to pass their promotional period without being able to pay it off. 

Their banking site also missing feature such as the ability to set up autopay, access statements older than the current year and the ability to view my own account number.

Company: Credit Systems International, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I had negative marks placed on all three credit bureaus from credit systems into for a debt they claim is from XXXX XXXX, a Texas electricity provider. I last lived in Texas in 2006. Any debt from that service would be XXXX XXXX XXXX and well past the statute of limitations and it is therefore illegal to claim it is new debt on my credit report. I disputed it and asked for written verification. They did not verify the debt but did claim it was newer debt. XXXX refused to remove it from my credit report. I have been materially damaged by their fraud in representing that this debt is mine and is new.
