Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

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


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!

Company: EQUITY LOANS LLC
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received my initial closing disclosure showing a lender paid broker compensation fee of {$5300.00}. I signed this document that day. Subsequently on XX/XX/year>, I received a revised closing disclosure and a change of circumstances switching the lender paid fee to a borrower paid fee. I did not request this to be done. 

This second CD also showed reduced points, the administrative fee was removed, and the broker compensation fee was switched from lender paid to borrower paid. I called the loan officer to question these changes. He informed me the loan was not passing XXXX, a term I am not familiar with. The loan officer explained these changes were made in order to pass XXXX. 

The loan officer said, " This is the way it is done and we do it all the time. ". He also mentioned he did this to another loan for a person named XXXX and it required him to pay about $ XXXX more upon closing. 

The loan officer rebuked my concerns because the cost of the loan was about same. He threatened to hang up the phone rather than seek a negotiated agreement. The only solution he offered was for me not to show up at closing. I was concerned that not closing at this late stage would jeopardize my $ XXXX deposit paid to the sellers that were responsive and flexible with me in every step towards bring this house sale to closure.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I went to the FTC to file this complaint since the cfpb has not been able to assist a resolution. The FTC website directed me back to the cfpb. So here I am again. My issue has not been resolved. 

I have contacted Portfolio and all three credit reporting agencies on multiple occasions regarding the incorrect information on my credit reports. I have contacted them directly in writing and via the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) complaint portal. 

It should not be this difficult or time consuming for me to assert my rights under federal law. 

Portfolio has never contacted me directly. I have never received information from them. They failed to validate/ verify within the timelines provided by the FDCPA yet continue to assert a claim over me via the credit reporting agencies. This is illegal. By law, Portfolio must stop all collection attempts, including reporting to agencies. 

So far, the credit agencies have changed information regarding this account - supposedly due to Portfolio contacting them. Portfolio went from being an active original creditor ( with no account number ), to being an active collection account, to being a closed collection account. 

Which is it? And where is the proof? And why hasn't Portfolio ever actually contacted me with said proof? All of this is illegal. 

I am and have been disputing this incorrect information since I first saw it in XX/XX/year>.

Complaint narrative:
I was in XXXX on a humanitarian mission with a party of XXXX people from the XXXX On XX/XX/year> while we were at the airport in XXXX, I gave one of the guys in our party money so he could get food since he had run out of money. I gave him less than {$20.00}. Either in the XXXX  airport or XXXX airport, he sent me {$20.00} via Cashapp. On the subject line, he wrote, " thanks for having my back in XXXX ''. Cashapp froze both our accounts and sent emails asking why we were transacting business in XXXX. They sent him the email first. Wanted to know who he was sending money to and why. And why was he in XXXX. And he explained what the {$20.00} was about. Then I noticed my account was frozen and I contacted Cashapp and went through the same line of questioning. I told him that the money I received was my friend giving me money that I had loaned/given him to eat with. We went back and forth through Cashapp for a few days. Then I received the same email, my friend had received. I asked to speak to a live person and they would not do that. So, they have been holding my {$1400.00} for over 2 weeks and I think this is completely wrong. And they still won't tell me what he or I did wrong and they still will not release my money to me. I want to sue them!

Complaint narrative:
I trust this correspondence finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a troubling discrepancy within my credit report concerning late payments associated with my account. Upon meticulous review of my report, I have identified instances where late payments have been inaccurately recorded, adversely affecting my credit standing. Upon contacting the companies linked to this account, they acknowledged a fault on their part. They have committed to rectifying the error by updating and amending my account to accurately reflect my payment history. They attributed this inaccuracies to a system glitch that led to the erroneous reporting of late payments. 

It is perplexing to me that while other credit bureaus have already rectified the status of this account, your bureau continues to report these late payments. This disparity in reporting raises doubts regarding the verification protocols employed by your bureau to ensure the precision of reported information.
