Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I purchased an A/C repair kit from XXXX for {$100.00}. I purchased it and the clerk said the machine wasnt working so we went to the second register where I repurchased it because he said it didnt work the first time. On XX/XX/year> I filed a double charge dispute with navy federal to get this corrected since I did not buy 2 of them. On XX/XX/year> Navy federal put a note on my credit report stating Account information disputed by consumer, meets FCRA requirements. This note immediately destroyed my credit score and years of hard work. My score went down XXXX points all because I was double charged at XXXX. This is unfair to me and impact my family and my life. This is wrong and criminal to punish me for filing a dispute on a double charge that was not my fault.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Fate Texas Laws Dear PORTFOLIO, I am writing to address blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), the Texas Finance Code under Sections 392.301 and 392.305, and identity fraud laws, specifically Texas Penal Code Section 32.51 . It has unequivocally come to my attention that PORTFOLIO has already engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Texas state law, specifically Section 392.301 of the Texas Finance Code, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, Section 392.305 of the Texas Finance Code establishes clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. Simultaneously, identity fraud laws, such as Texas Penal Code Section 32.51, underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for PORTFOLIO to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that PORTFOLIO immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Sections 392.301 and 392.305 of the Texas Finance Code. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, Texas state law, and identity fraud laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that PORTFOLIO will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 MONTHS REPORTING LATE 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.

This company 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

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.

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.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX we ordered a home inspection on XXXX. Whilst the inspection was ongoing we had to cancel because of realtor malpractice. We were unable to reach the inspector who at that time was tresspassing. The inspection company on XXXX stated they would provide a cancellation and refund. However, later on this was recanted. For this reason we requested a dispute with Barclays to obtain our refund. Barclays ruled against us and charged us again on XXXX. Barclays never requested documentation or provided us with an opportunity to support our case. Barclays failed in their duty towards us as card holders. Furthermore, for a repeal we need to physically mail in documentation. It appears merchants have access to digital means. This appears to be designed to the detriment of card holders. We will send in our evidence in the mail.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately.

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity.

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
i sent a letter to ACIMA DIGITAL FKA SIMP in regards to to their negligent and inaccurate reporting on my consumer report on XX/XX/year>. They are still willfully reporting inaccurate information on my consumer report after being notified of the errors. They have confirmed that the alleged debt of {$640.00} on account # XXXX has indeed been charged off. It shall be understood per IRS publication 4681 that cancelled debt must be reported as " ordinary '' or " gross income. '' Income is clearly not " debt, '' nor can it be reported on a consumer report as a debt. ACIMA has been notified by me the consumer that their reporting is in fact inaccurate.
