Complaint narrative:
I requested for the investigation done when the allegations from Experian stated they verified the accounts. This is a violation of FCRA Conducting sharm investigations that fail to properly address consumers disputes : Experian uses faulty intake procedures and does not accurately convey all relevant information about disputes to the original furnisher 's response to the disputed information even when responses was improbable or illogical on its face or when Experian routinely and uncritically accepts the original furnisher 's response to the disputed information, even when this response was improbable or illogical on its face, or when Experian has other information available that suggests the furnisher is unreliable Experian. FCRA 's requirements. Disputed intake procedures and failure to provide furnishers with consumer-submitted documentation, uncritical deference to furnisher responses to disputed information, and failure to prevent improper tradelines reinsertions also violate the Consumer Financial Protection Acts prohibition on unfair acts or practice. I am requesting for these accounts to be deleted from my credit file.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
A few days ago, my mother and I submitted XXXX separate refund claims with Wells Fargo related to XXXX transfers of {$500.00} and {$100.00} sent to a woman who promised to personally deliver the money in XXXX. Instead, she rerouted the funds through unknown third parties and withheld part of the amount. She later admitted she helps people circumvent sanctions by laundering money via XXXX and XXXX. 

Despite all the proof of fraud, my {$100.00} claim was denied without clear explanation. This is not the first time Wells Fargo has failed to protect customers from scammers or take financial abuse seriously. 

We sent the payments in good faith, not knowing we were being pulled into a suspicious scheme. We expected our bank to investigate more carefully and support their clients.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be updated.

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.

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!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
Aidvantage became the servicer of myXX/XX/XXXX but I was never informed of this transfer. I did not receive any emails, letters, or calls notifying me of the change, and I had no access to my account or knowledge of where my loans were being managed. 

Over a year later, I noticed my credit score dropped nearly XXXX points. Upon investigation, I discovered that five late payments had been reported by Aidvantage during that time. Because I was unaware of the servicer change, I had no way of making payments or addressing the issue. 

I have never missed a payment on any of my other XX/XX/XXXX and take pride in my financial responsibilities. Aidvantages failure to notify me caused serious, avoidable harm to my credit and financial well-being.
