My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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.

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. The reference number for that complaint is XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Complaint Description : My credit report contains unauthorized inquiries that were made without my consent. Upon contacting the creditors responsible for these inquiries, they confirmed they have no evidence that I initiated these inquiries and lack any written or verbal authorization from me. 
Due to the lack of valid grounds for these inquiries, I formally requested their immediate removal. The credit bureau in question has not provided a satisfactory response, which is why I filed a complaint with the FTC. 

Legal Grounds ( Fair Credit Reporting Act, FCRA ) : Permissible Purposes : Under Section 604, unauthorized inquiries do not meet the requirements for permissible purposes.

Handling of Unverifiable Information : According to Section 611, any inquiry that can not be verified must be removed.

Right of Verification : Section 609 grants me the right to verify each inquiry with an original signed contract.

Information Provider Responsibility : Section 623 requires that reported data is accurate and authorized.

Protection Against Identity Theft : Section 605A mandates the removal of unauthorized inquiries potentially related to identity theft. 
Additional Legal Support : Cases such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ) reinforce that inquiries must meet the FCRA 's permissible purposes requirements.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On Wednesday of XX/XX/year> I received a notification supposedly from Bank of America stating that I had a fradulent charge from XXXX  of XXXX dollars. After replying no, the SMS ( XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX California said an agent would be speaking with you shortly. I then received a phone call with the number of XXXX XXXX, which is Bank of Americas national customer service line. The guys name was XXXX ( American descent ) and walked me through what seemed like a routine checklist of Bank of America. He then stated that my account had been compromised by someone named XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX, Texas. He also knew how much money was in all my accounts associated with Bank of America and the routing/Accounting number as well as my full legal name/ Birthday. He had me take my whole account and transfer it to XXXX XXXX and then a temporary debit card for holding until they could transfer it back. I eventually started to gain worrisome as he seemed to be struggling figuring out what my account had been compromised with. After a while I got no response and decided to hang up. I called Bank of America back and they had recollection of them ever calling me, saying I got scammed and that this happens often. They said their number gets swooped all the time and that because I willingly did it on my own they have nothing they can provide help for.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I XXXX XXXX XXXX  business in the US for the past 5 years and my job is to dispatch trucks all over the country to pick up and deliver loads. 
That has been a lot of scams but I've been able to follow processes to avoid them but this time around my company was involved in one. The background story is that I get payments advance from my factoring company called XXXX XXXX and they have system where they will validate loads before paying.This happened on the XX/XX/year> Following this claim this was multiple loads taken by the same client who provided for which they seemed legitimate until after 48 hours of paying me that the factoring company finally received information from the actual shipper that's the loads were in fact fraudulent and unidentifiable loads in their system. A few hours after doing an ACH transfer from my business account to the clients business account who was involved in the scam XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX I contacted my bank NAVY FEDERAL and notified them that I would need to cancel the transaction but I was dismissed and they didn't give a solution but rather just told me that it was out of their control- The money had not left my account when i reported this it was still pending!. At the time that I reached out to them the money had not left my account I couldn't cancel it on my end but I had a feeling that they could do it on their side. As it's a lot of money on the line, {$5000.00} XXXX reached out to the recipients Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Got an agent who was very rude and said we protect our customers and if i do not have the recipient calling he can not do anything ) of the fraudulent accounts to notify them that they should contact my bank to stop the transaction from falling through. Again I got dismissed and they told me that there's nothing they could do even though I provided all the details which matched with their system. TodayXXXX I went to the bank of the recipient to have them flag the transaction because I need to retrieve the money back to be able to pay my factoring company back as this is money they paid out thinking the loads were legitimate. I'm reaching out to CFPB to find a solution to help me because the recipients is not responding to any of my calls to return the money and none of this Banks seem to provide help on an agreeable a solution. I use Navy Federal Bank and the recipients bank is XXXX XXXX. If there's any way you can assist I would love for this business to be stopped as there's a lot of fraudulent activities going on and if this can be flagged by someone with authority I think the world will be a better place
