Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly

State: NC

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request a reinvestigation of multiple hard inquiries that continue to appear on my consumer credit report. These inquiries were previously disputed ; however, they remain reported without evidence that a permissible purpose existed at the time they were accessed.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( FCRA 604 ), a creditor may only obtain a consumer report for a clearly defined permissible purpose. If a data furnisher can not demonstrate that I authorized the inquiry or that a permissible purpose existed, the inquiry must be removed.

Inquiries in Dispute : : XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/year> Despite prior disputes, no documentation has been provided showing : My authorization for these inquiries, or A valid permissible purpose as defined under FCRA 604 Absent such proof, the continued reporting of these inquiries is inaccurate and noncompliant with federal law.

Company: Synovus Bank
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Payments to this company have been made on time. One month I filed a dispute regarding payments made to a service that hade been cancelled. The company accepted the dispute, reissued the card but couldn't take the payment because of the transition of the account of the old card to the new card. The charged me a late fee but reassured me that they would credit the late fee because them not accepting the payment had to do with their system. When it came time to provide the credit it didn't happen. Further I continued to make my payments every month on the due date. The company then began charging me a late fee because of the time of day that the payments were made on the due date. I questioned them about this and they said that it was in the terms and conditions that they could charge me a late fee for the time of day that the payment was made even though the payment was made on the due date. 

In addition to this they never credited me for the unauthorized charges or the late fees for the on-time payments. I made contact with them on my day off. I requested to speak with a supervisor about it. The supervisor treated me with rude behavior. She said " Could you please confirm to me your name? '' I said " What name do you have and I will let you know if it's me? '' " She said YOU have to tell ME! '' I then requested to speak with a manager and she said " A manager isn't going to talk to you. '' I asked the reason why then she said I had to wait XXXX business hours to speak with one. The discussion kept going back and forth and I didn't have time to continue so I terminated the call.

Complaint narrative:
This is from me and not a credit repair company. I am requesting the removal of inaccurate and unauthorized accounts from my credit report. These items were not opened, authorized, or verified by me, and l 've attached documentation in support of this claim. These accounts and inquiries do not belong to me and were added without my permission or proper verification. 

I've submitted supporting documentation, including a consumer statement and official FTC report, to verify this matter. I am requesting these items be removed so my credit report reflects only accurate, verifiable information. Under Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am exercising my right to block this information from appearing on my credit profile.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.
