Complaint narrative:
De

ar, Credit Reporting Agency I am writing in regards to my account with your institution. On a previous occasion, I requested proof of 24 late payments that were reported to consumer reporting agencies, despite my assertion that I was never late on payments for this account. This request was made in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In response to this request, I received a response via the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) that did not provide the requested documentation to support the reported late
payments. As such, I am demanding the immediate removal of all associated late payments from my account. 

As I have previously stated, I have never been late on payments for this account, and I believe that these late payments have been reported in error. I trust that you will conduct a thorough investigation and promptly correct any inaccuracies in my credit report. 

I would also like to request that you provide me with documentation showing the removal of the associated late payments from my credit report in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( d ). It is my understanding that any person who has received a consumer report containing the deleted or disputed information within two years for employment purposes, or within six months for any other purpose, should be notified of the deletion. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed by Truist Bank that I have an administrative hold on my bank account. I was attempting to make a purchase and my purchase was declining ; therefore, I contacted the Truist Bank to see why my purchase was declining. I went to the Truist branch in XXXX, Ga and the representative contacted XXXX XXXX from the corporate 's office in North Carolina. XXXX XXXX informed me that my account is an LLC and that I made payment to the defendant from the account which proves that it is an LLC account. XXXX XXXX stated that they will not be release no hold from my DBA account. There's no law that states that I can't pay certain people out of my account. I had to make an appointment with a local Truist branch in XXXX, Georgia and I provided them with all documentations to prove that my account is a DBA account not an LLC account. I provided them with documentation that m.y TIN on file with Truist Bank is my DBA account. I also provided IRS documentation of my TIN for my LLC which is not the TIN on my account at Truist Bank. My account with Truist Bank is an DBA account. I provided proof that my LLC with the State of Georgia was established on XX/XX/XXXX and my account was opened with Truist Bank was on XXXX.The amount of the judgement is different from the amount that is on the administrative hold. The amount once matched the judgement amount than after I had a disagreement with the defendant 's attorney the amount went up on my Truist Bank account. I will be pursing legal actions against Truist Bank because this have caused my financial hardship, mental distress and is causing my credit to be ruined because I'm not able to pay my bills all cause of ignorant employees of Truist Bank. Ms. comb is practicing out her scope by trying to make legal decision without using common sense that this is now putting Truist Bank at state for more legal actions.
