Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted XXXX numerous of times. I had late payments reporting and they told me to provide medical documentation. I provided the documents and a supervisor stated the amount of hours I was in the emergency room. I was out of work and provided my discharge papers as they requested. 

They are trying to retaliate by not removing the incorrect XXXX  accounts. The supervisor listed several reasons of why they will not remove the accounts. They stated someone else called on my account and it was my wife. Then they stated I filed a dispute with the credit bureaus. 

In all XXXX credit reports the XXXX  accounts are all reporting incorrectly. Account status, date opened, payment status, and date of last payments are showing different. 

Both of my accounts they are reporting to the credit bureaus are paid and closed. I was experiencing a hardship at the time the late payments were reported. I'm in the process of purchasing my home and this credit building account is the reason why I can't move forwards. XXXX are being very insensitive. If I can't purchase my home home my family will be homeless. My closing date is next week and if the XXXX accounts aren't removed they will suspend my contract. 

I will attach proof of the credit reports reporting inaccurately, medical documentation, emails from XXXX showing retaliation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 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. 

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:
On XXXX XX/XX/year> I attempted to make a purchase using my AMEX Business credit card and was declined. I contacted AMEX only to find out/be told that my credit limit had been reduced because of inquiries, other credit limits and my XXXX score. I entered into a contract with AMEX on XX/XX/year> with a {$5000.00} credit limit, 2 weeks later I looked online at the credit limit was {$3000.00} ( no correspondence was sent explaining why ). XX/XX/year> AMEX ran my credit without my written or verbal permission to pull a FICO of XXXX and at that time decided to lower the business credit even lower to {$900.00} and sent a letter on XX/XX/year> that still has not arrived. I asked 2 representatives on XXXX XX/XX/year> for a copy of the initial credit report pulled, initial contract we went into with the {$5000.00} credit limit, a copy of the credit report pulled on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX and a copy of the decision letter. I was told that those items were system generated and that they could not send me any copies, I asked why and was told that any correspondence sent by AMEX is system generator and that AMEX has done nothing illegal by reviewing my credit to make a decision to increase or decrease my business credit. When I spoke up and said that I had not given written or verbal permission to run my credit I was told that it was a summary review and in the initial credit card agreement I agreed to allow AMEX to review and run my credit for updates.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Experian has reported a XXXX point drop to my score in the last month with no valid explanation. I paid down a credit account last month and my address was changed. A few months prior I paid off two high interest rate loans that I did not have for even a year and my score dropped XXXX points. This is unfair and now its dropped XXXX points for no valid reason other than I paid down credit card debt and also my address was updated because I recently moved. Theres no reason for me to lose XXXX points with no explanation.. 
Affair resolution would be to give me back my points because it was wrongly taken to begin with.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: FL

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 on my DEPTEDNELNET - XXXX, DEPTEDNELNET - XXXX, DEPTEDNELNET - XXXX, DEPTEDNELNET - XXXX. 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.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finished
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
JP Morgan Chase, who financed the lease that was completed, in good faith, paid, under mileage and returned per the terms of the agreement, is attempting to assess over {$1300.00} worth of excess for cleaning and new tires, at the order of the dealership. The car was returned per the terms and went missing thereafter. I will not be held financially responsible for wear or damage incurred after return. The return was accepted, mileage and condition verified. This charge is the result of the dealership discriminating against me because I am not leasing or buying another vehicle. This is there way of extracting additional profit from those who can no longer afford to be customers. 

I reported all of this to JPMorgan Chase, with regard to the botched return, additional charges and discrimination, and was ultimately dismissed time and time again, via phone and email.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to XXXX and XXXX XXXX Missouri XXXX Dear I.C. SYSTEM, INC I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri identity theft and fraud laws, specifically Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.223. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that I.C. SYSTEM, INC has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.223 establishes clear guidelines for the protection of personal information and the severe consequences of identity theft and fraud. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for I.C. SYSTEM, INC to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that I.C. SYSTEM, INC immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.223. Failure to comply within the stipulated XXXX-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that I.C. SYSTEM, INC will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.
