Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX 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

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I was charged {$9500.00} for rent through XXXX on XX/XX/year>, and although a refund of the same amount appeared on my Wells Fargo credit card statement on XX/XX/year>, that refund was either never actually credited to my account or was quietly reversed later without notification or justification. 

As of XX/XX/year>, my credit card balance has surged to {$5900.00}, and I have not spent anything to justify this amount. I have reviewed every transaction on my XXXX statement and confirmed that the Bilt refund was listed as XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Despite this, I did not receive any reimbursement to my checking account, nor has my credit card balance properly reflected the refund. 

I have contacted both XXXX and Wells Fargo multiple times and received no satisfactory explanation or correction. To make matters worse, I am now being charged late fees and my credit score is being negatively impacted due to this unresolved and erroneous charge a charge I did not authorize and that should never have remained on my account. 

This issue has been ongoing for over THREE months, and neither company has taken ownership or action to resolve it. I am asking the CFPB to : Investigate the XX/XX/XXXX charge and XX/XX/XXXX refund from XXXXProtect Determine why the refund did not reflect on my current balance Require Wells Fargo and/or XXXX to correct this immediately Remove any late fees and reverse all credit reporting impacts due to this error

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifax 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Equifax to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Equifax responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only one week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Equifaxs refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Equifax be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Equifaxs stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me. 

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Complaint narrative:
All of the credit reporting agencies violated rights by furnishing bankruptcy on credit report which was not given to them by bankruptcy court. Nor was consent ever given to reporting agencies to furnish public records on report. Furthermore if debt was owed to bankruptcy court the debt is displayed on reports however it is not and debt doesnt list a furnisher therefore the info on credit report inaccurate. Lastly the entire public records section on all credit reporting agencies is inaccurate because it doesnt report accurate public records IT IS CLEAR THEY DO NOT REPORT TO YOU OR ANY CREDIT BUREAU FOR THAT MATTER : THEREFORE, YOUR INITIAL RESPONSE VERIFYING THE ITEM WITH THE COURT WAS EITHER AN ERROR OR A LIE. 
EITHER WAY, THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS DO NOT COMPLY WITH FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 16811 ), AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to request the full removal of a utility collection account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The original debt was {$100.00} and has been paid in full as of XX/XX/year>. The balance is now {$0.00}, and the account status is marked as " Paid '' per the results of XXXX reinvestigation. 

Despite this, the account is still being reported as : A collection With a false remark : " Account Paid for Less Than Full Balance '' Both the status and remark are inaccurate. I paid 100 % of the balance owed ( {$100.00} ) not a settlement or negotiated amount. This was a utility bill, not a revolving credit tradeline. Once paid in full, it should not remain on my credit report under the FCRA, especially with derogatory language that does not reflect the payment made. 

I requested an update or removal directly, and I was not provided accurate resolution or justification for the continued reporting. This misrepresentation negatively impacts my credit profile and misleads lenders into thinking I settled a debt, which I did not. 

Requested Resolution : Remove the false " less than full balance '' remark. 

Delete the entire collection entry from all credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Cease further reporting of this resolved, non-tradeline account. 

Provide written confirmation of correction or deletion. 

This is in line with FCRA 607 ( b ) and 602, which protect consumers from the inaccurate and unfair reporting of resolved debts.
