Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Re : Complaint XXXX OR NEW COMPLAINT I am at a complete loss. Ive been battling Wells Fargo about the hack from my checking account/Bill Pay account in the amount of {$1900.00} for XXXX months now. A bill pay category ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ) was added without my knowledge or consent and a payment as noted above went to a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. Wells Fargo has determined that their research shows the transaction was made through a secure online banking session by you ( me ) or someone who had your ( my ) authority and that no other processing errors occurred. This is not true and WF refuses to believe me, and they refuse to acknowledge that a hacker could mimic me at my computer and make such a transaction. In my conversations with XXXX XXXX a regional manager for WF in the downtown XXXX office, on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX and again on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, he reassured me that he believes me and understands how this could have happened. He also informed me however that the stance of WF was that XXXX XXXX was liable for this event and should be the ones to refund me my money. 
I will point out once again, that there was a second attempt to add a bill pay category to my account XXXX days later but, I received an email from WF this second time that a bill pay category was added, again a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  but I saw this email and contacted WF before the money could be sent out. Ive questioned why I did not get a notification the first time, but I keep getting mixed messages that it is Wells Fargos policy that the customer be notified when a bill pay category is added, some have said this is not necessarily the case. 
I was able to talk to a representative at XXXX XXXX, no easy feat ( XXXX ID # XXXX ) a Senior Account Supervisor last week who did some research and found that the account that was detailed in my WF Bill Pay statement was under investigation for fraud. I received a call back from XXXX this afternoon, he left a message stating that XXXX XXXX was unable to refund me this money and he specifically referred me back to Wells Fargo. 
I am at a complete loss as to what to do to get my {$1900.00} back. Neither institution accepts any responsibility or perhaps accountability in this and I am out {$1900.00}. 
Please advise. 
Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
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.

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 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. 


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 XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of the XXXX XXXX account # XXXX on my credit report. This account has been placed into collections without my consent, which is a clear breach of my privacy. Additionally, the reporting across the XXXX major credit bureaus is inconsistent and contains inaccuracies : Experian : Last active date is listed as XXXX. 
XXXX : Last active date is listed as XXXX. 
XXXX : Last active date is listed as XXXX. 

Despite these dates, the account shows no late payment status on any of my files, yet it has been incorrectly sent to collections. This situation is not only confusing but also potentially damaging to my credit profile. 

Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c, credit reporting agencies are required to maintain accurate information on consumers. The discrepancies in the reporting dates and the fact that the account was sent to collections without any late payments constitute violations of this statute. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy. These inconsistencies violate this provision. 

Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The placement of this account into collections without my consent is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of a debt. Furthermore, the unauthorized collection status violates 15 U.S.C. 1692f, which forbids unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. 

Request for Immediate Action : Given these violations, I am requesting the immediate removal of the XXXX XXXX account # XXXX from my credit report with all three credit bureaus. Additionally, I ask that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report that reflects these corrections.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate and inconsistent reporting of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX on my credit report. This account is reported with significant discrepancies across the three major credit bureaus, which are misleading and damaging to my credit profile. The following inconsistencies have been identified : High Credit : Experian : {$25000.00} XXXX : {$25000.00} XXXX : {$0.00} Last Active Date : Experian : XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX : XXXX Account Status : XXXX : Paid Profit Loss XXXX : Paid Charge Off Experian : No status listed Payment Status : Experian : As Agreed XXXX : Collection or Charge Off XXXX : Collection or Charge Off Late Payment Status : Experian : Was 30 Days Late 3 Times, Was 60 Days Late 3 Times, Was 90 Days Late 2 Times XXXX : Was 30 Days Late 3 Times, Was 60 Days Late 3 Times, Was 90 Days Late XXXX XXXX XXXX : No late payments listed These discrepancies indicate that the information being reported is inconsistent and inaccurate, violating my rights under federal law. 

Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information reported on consumer credit reports ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The inconsistencies in the high credit amount, last active dates, account statuses, payment statuses, and late payment history clearly violate this provision. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), accounts that have been charged off or placed for collection must be reported accurately, which is not the case here.

Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The incorrect reporting of the account status as a collection or charge off, especially when Experian lists the payment status as As Agreed, may constitute a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which prohibits false or misleading representations in connection with the collection of any debt. The inconsistent reporting across the bureaus also raises concerns under 15 U.S.C. 1692f, which prohibits unfair practices in debt collection. 

Request for Immediate Action : In light of these violations, I am requesting the immediate removal of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX from my credit report with all three credit bureaus. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report reflecting this correction.

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
