Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate and unlawful reporting practices related to the accounts listed in the attachments. These actions have violated my federally protected consumer rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681 and related provisions.

I assert that no permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ) has been established for the reporting or sharing of my private financial information. Under the FCRA, a permissible purpose must be established before any consumer report can be furnished.

Additionally, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( a ), a financial institution may not, directly or indirectly, disclose nonpublic personal information to a non-affiliated third party without proper authorization. Further, under 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) : ( A ) Clear and conspicuous written or electronic disclosure must first be provided to the consumer ; ( B ) The consumer must be given the opportunity to direct that such information not be disclosed ; and ( C ) The consumer must be given an explanation of how to exercise that nondisclosure option. 

No such disclosures or authorizations were provided to me. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 602 ( A ), I have the right to privacy. Furthermore, 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) states that a consumer reporting agency may not furnish a consumer report without my written instructions.

The reporting of late payments also violates 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), which prohibits a consumer reporting agency from including adverse information in a report if it antedates the report by more than seven years.

Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1666b ( a ), a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account as late for any purpose if it was received by the due date and within the grace period.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ), no person may furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 to be removed/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. 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!

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I called Amex because they wouldn't let me make purchases on ANY of my cards even though I wasn't past due, I had available credit, etc. The customer service agent said it was because of a bounced payment ( only {$50.00} ), but I'm unsure how that affects both of my cards. They wanted me to call my bank with them and waste time so I just said I want to close both of my cards because other banks don't do this kind of XXXX. The customer service refused to do that so I hung up. She also refused to transfer me to a supervisor. What's the point of customer service if they refuse to do anything. 

Also there was payments since that {$50.00} of over {$500.00} that went through fine but she told me they would keep my accounts locked for 8 days. Ridiculous.
