Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment made within the 15-day grace period : My payments were made on XX/XX/year>, which falls within XXXX ' standard 15-day grace period. Therefore, the account should not have been reported as 30 or 60 days late. 
Clerical error by XXXX : My payment, though made on time, was incorrectly recorded as late due to a clerical error by XXXX. This resulted in the inaccurate reporting of a 30 and 60-day late payment on my account.

Evidence provided : I have attached bank statements and payment confirmations showing that the payments were made on time, well within the grace period. This documentation proves that no late payment occurred. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I wanted to apply for a Lowe 's store credit card. I used their prequalify tool to check whether or not I would be qualified for anything. Their prequalify took is located here ( https : XXXX? XXXX & XXXX & XXXX & XXXX & XXXX & XXXX & XXXX ) Upon entering my personal information including my phone, address, email, SSN, Lowe 's prequalify tool which is managed by Synchrony Bank showed that I was pre-approved for their Consumer MyRewards call with a starting limit of of {$1000.00}. However I did not accept at this time. 

The next day ( XX/XX/2024 ), i went back to Lowe 's website and proceeded with the application process because I know that I had received a pre-approval the day before. I went through the application process and Synchrony Bank pulled my XXXX report ( shown as a hard inquiry ). To my surprise, Synchrony Bank/Lowes decided to deny my application. This is unacceptable business practice to be leading me as a consumer on, to apply for their store card yet ended up denying my application. Also it resulted in a hard inquiry which lowered my credit score. This is unacceptable. I called into Synchrony Bank/Lowes credit card time and spoke to many agents as well as " XXXX - XXXX '' who refused to help me. They acted like it was my fault that I got denied! I was not going to apply but Lowes/Synchrony presented me with misleading and deceptive information. I ask that CFPB seek maximum punitive damages on my behalf for being mislead.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: EGL US, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX are the most recent dates I emailed the company. Basically this company is the epitome of predatory lending. The company targets Postal Employees and out ability to set up allotments to make the payments directly from our paychecks. While paying back the loan I was constantly inadated with refinancing approvals. Not only this but the refinancing process was made to be so easy and the information or negatives of doing so were never made clear and they would entice you with keeping the payment the same or close to it even with borrowing more than before. They took all thought out of it, just a few clicks on your phone and done and done and the solicitations just came and came making it look so attractive and easy and never were any disclosures madeto be easy to access making it easier and easier along with the encouragement they would give to borrow more. And not only this, I did not have the capacity to be borrowing money or refinancing as I was drinking heavily, I do not even remember refinancing my loan so often ... only a few months need pass before you were eligible and solicited to refinance and borrow more and never did the interest rate go down, in my case it was increased and now looking back if I would of been in my right mind I would XXXX, probably never refinanced and XXXX, if I did I would of wanted a better interest rate due to my good payment history but being so inebriated I assume all I saw was dollar signs. I entered recovery on XX/XX/XXXX and voluntarily stayed for 60 days and have been sober ever since. When I attmepted to start fixing the things I did while drinking I came to my BMG loan and to date I have repaid over $ XXXX on a $ XXXX loan and as of today XX/XX/XXXX I owe more than I originally borrowed and not only that but they also changed the terms of the loan by making my payoff 2 years longer than what drunk XXXX agreed to. My original agreement had my pay off date XXXX earlier than what they are now showing on the supposed agreement they have attached to my account on line. So with the consistent solicitations to refinance, unknown changes to the loan terms and my incapacity to make any level headed decisions I believe I am not responsible for the remaining balance and that they recognize they are in violation of consumer law.

Complaint narrative:
In a attempt to have my credit report 100 % accurate and 100 % complete which is my right per the FCRA. I have disputed several errors on my credit report. Specifically regarding my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account which has several errors including wrong dates, missing trended data and several months of missing payment history. I have detailed in my dispute letters and over the phone the errors that are reporting on my report. I have also included enclosures highlighting exactly what errors I am referring to. I have disputed a total of 5 times including once through my attorney and they have yet to correct these errors. If they will not correct this information this account must be deleted per the FCRA. I have gave them every opportunity to correct this information but they have willfully neglected their lawful duties to only report 100 % accurate and complete information. This is a very frustrating process and this is causing me great stress trying to resolve this. I have attached the dispute letter I first sent out XX/XX/year>. This letter is very detailed and Transunion should have had no issues identifying and correcting these errors.
