I have done my own investigation and have researched numerus legal cases in which other consumers were victims of the same things that I am now experiencing, and the courts have ruled each an every time that the credit reporting agency could not merely parrot information from the creditors and/or collection agencies. you are required to conduct your own independent reasonable investigations to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty, and integrity of the creditor and/or collection agency in question. Sending out generic form. Through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. Also according to 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate on my consumer report. There are several inaccuracies as it pertains to the reporting of this erroneous account.

State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am a joint owner of this lease account, equally responsible for timely payments. I reside at a different address than the XXXX owner I signed for, and I requested paper statements and notices be sent to my address. No paper statements have ever been sent to my address, and resulted in a XXXX payment not being applied and marked on my credit as late in XX/XX/2022. I have disputed this with BMW Financial and was dismissed by their credit review department. Representative confirmed that I never consented to electronic statement ; however, they said that they were not obligated to send me statements as the XXXX owner opted to receive statements electronically. again we live in different household and my pre-requisite for co-signing this lease was to receive full statements and notices every month. they failed to do so and denied me the opportunity to monitor good standing of this account. 
ideal resolution to this problem is for BMW Financial to acknowledge their mistake and erase the late payment of my credit report

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My social security card is a credit card. I applied for a mortgage with Truist Bank and was denied an extension of my own credit without receiving any benefit. This would be considered unauthorized use of a credit card which is criminal activity. The Equal Credit Opportunity act speaks against this discriminatory practice by lenders after a consumer has been pre approved. XXXX is implicit in the damages caused against me by furnishing incomplete, inaccurate information that they know or have reason to believe is false, causing me adverse action. This unlawful action has caused me embarrassment and financial hardship. An amicable resolution for this matter would be for Truist to award my credit on different terms and or for XXXX to make me whole in the sum of {$300000.00} for the damages caused to me via discriminatory lending practices. Please find the attached letter that was sent to Truist as the first step in resolving this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this note finds you well. I'm reaching out because I've noticed something weird with my credit report. For my account : Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX It's showing that I've had five late payments. But here 's the thing, I've never been late on my payments for this account. 

Consumer Reporting Agencies are pretty important, right? I mean, you guys need to be on the ball with accuracy. This is why I'm reaching out to you directly - to clear this up. 

I'd be really grateful if you could check into this for me. Could you send me copies of the statements where it shows these late payments? If it turns out there's no proof of my payments being late, then it's only fair that these be updated to show that I've paid on time - because I did. 

I know mistakes can happen, but this mix-up with my payment history on this account isn't accurate. So, could you please help me out here and sort this out ASAP? 

Thanks a bunch for looking into this. I'm looking forward to getting my credit report fixed up right.
