Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I deposited a XXXX XXXX XXXX claim check through an ATM. My mistake was I forgot to endorse it. Deposited XX/XX/year> for {$9700.00}. When trying to get a cashiers check to pay the shop and pick up my car, wells fargo says they can not give me those funds due to the check being unendorsed. I run the risk up to 3 years that XXXX XXXX  can pull it back. 

I reached out to XXXX XXXX so they can pull the check back but are unable too due to the funds being deposited in my account. 
XXXX XXXX to help with the situation sent over a letter stating how Wells Fargo can return the money so they can resend another check. 

I am on my 2nd escalation case as the first one was closed on XX/XX/XXXX with no resolution. 

My car has been ready for pickup since XXXX and I am still waiting for support from Wells Fargo. They told me I should hear something by XXXX XXXX. This is impacting me financially. I have never felt so helpless. Ive been to XXXX different banks, called various support numbers and filed XXXX cases and I am still without an update. Is legal action required for an unendorsed check?! 

FYI the check was named out to me, not Wells Fargo.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be updated.

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. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

I ask that you take these steps as soon as possible. 

I spoke with XXXX via telephone on XX/XX/XXXX about fraudulent activity using my information. I was not given a report number at the time and was told to gather documents and an FTC report to continue. 

End message .....

I enclosed is a copy of the FTC report supporting my position. Also enclosed is a copy of the Notice to Furnishers issued by the Federal Trade Commission, which details your responsibilities under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as an information furnisher to CRAs. Please cease reporting this information to the CRAs, investigate this matter, and delete the disputed item ( s ) as soon as possible : - Loan responsibility - Inquiries ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) I asked Achieve to send me a letter documenting the actions they took to absolve me of any responsibility for the information I disputed which resulted from the fraudulent activity and loss of over {$6000.00}.

Complaint narrative:
Account Number : XXXX. The late payment in question is reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX For the period of XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>. I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments that are reported on my credit file maintained by EQUIFAX. I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 

Nature of the Complaint : 1. Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts.

2. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness.

3. Potential Violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts.

4. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information.

Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

Furthermore, under the FCRA, articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively. These provisions provide for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages, for failure to comply with the Act 's requirements.
