Complaint narrative:
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

Complaint narrative:
We had our mortgage payment processed through Autopay, initial XXXX payment made on the XXXX. A second payment was made by B of A on the XXXX creating an overdraft which has been cascading since. Auto payments have been sent and rescinded on 3-4 of our accounts needing to be payed. The bank keeps telling us that we had two payments in Auto Pay for the mortgage. If that was the case they should have been payed concurrently not 4-5 days apart. Resolving this has been difficult due to the XXXX holiday which has a similar feel to the algorithmic problems of the overdraft problems created a dozen or so years ago. I digress, if we had mistakenly put an additional payment to our mortgage company and mistakenly did not properly delete it the second mistaken payment would have been for the old amount not the new amount paid in XXXX. Also every time we call in we have to start the whole process over and still can not get back the money that was taken out of the account. We are now entering more than a week we have been backing here for 30 plus years but will no longer in the future.

Complaint narrative:
15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Complaint narrative:
This was a XXXX loan that was given despite poor credit. While making payments toward the principal I noticed my principal payments were being credited toward interest not principal. I requested a time delay during covid not to pay my bill as they offered to everyone on covid. They didn't honor the whole time. Nor did they apply my principal payments correctly. When they repossessed my car they pretended like it was stolen by others. XX/XX/year>. After they took it I was told by the company that they sold it for XXXX so the balance I owed on it was nothing but it's still showing up on my credit report as a balance.
