Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damag

ing my credit score and financial reputation. The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

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

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days 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.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the CFPB on XXXX, XXXX. ( Complaint # XXXX ) The complaint was to remove a notation on my credit report for the month of XX/XX/XXXX that the account was 30 days past due. However, this account ( Raymour and Flanigan ) was PAID IN FULL in XX/XX/XXXX and i requested the account be closed. I have made no purchases on the account since it was paid in full in XX/XX/XXXX. The account balance has been XXXX ( {$0.00} ) since XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I was reported as 30 days past due on all 3 credit bureaus for the month XX/XX/XXXX and began receiving statements again in XX/XX/XXXX showing a XXXX balance. The account was listed as paying on time in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. It was also listed as not being late in XX/XX/XXXX. This is factually impossible to be listed as paying on time In XX/XX/XXXX but late 30 days in XXXX and on time in XXXX. One of the Credit bureaus has already corrected their credit report ( XXXX ). I had also closed this account in XX/XX/XXXX when it was paid in full. The Companay TD Bank retail services closed my previous complaint with the CFPB because they did not read the complaint fully. They cited a lateness in XXXX which was not the basis for my complaint. I complained about XX/XX/XXXX and just cited another error in the year XXXX, even though that was also an incorrect reporting on my credit bureau. TD Bank RCS has thousands of complaints with the XXXX online regarding their incompetent, negligent. TD Bank RCS redesigned their online website and hundreds and thousands of errors like this were made.

Complaint narrative:
I used my XXXX  Visa Signature Card to purchase a dress from XXXX, which turned out to be a XXXX XXXX XXXX. The order is enclosed. The order was submitted XX/XX/24 for a total of {$46.00}. The blue dress size XL arrived in terrible condition with a huge 10 '' tear. I communicated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and the best they would offer is for me to pay full postage TO XXXX for a full refund. Alternately they would send a 25 % refund or another inferior replacement dress. They suggested that a needle and thread would fix the tear. I'm enclosing a picture of the dress, which was not as advertised and instead was a creation of rags sewn together. I have NEVER seen anything so poorly constructed in my life. 

Unsatisfied with the response from XXXX, I went to my XXXX  Visa Signature Card Company to request a credit, which they applied provisionally. They sent me a letter requesting a full explanation. I gave them a full explanation plus the 1 ) original order, 2 ) Email correspondence, 3 ) pictures of the torn rag of a dress 4 ) return address of the item ( from USA not XXXX ). I am enclosing same in this complaint. 

I received a rejection from XXXX  and they reapplied the charge to my card. I called and spoke with a CSR who reinstated my credit as I HAD SUPPLIED ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION. Yet again on XX/XX/XXXX I was sent a second rejection from XXXX, again stating insufficient information. This time, when I called customer service, I was told my account was LOCKED, they couldn't view it and that a manager would call me. Since XX/XX/XXXX, there has been NO CALL and no reversal of their decision. I was treated like garbage by XXXX  and am filing this complaint as my only recourse.
