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

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Credit Inquiry by XXXX XXXX  in Violation of FCRA Section 609 ( b ) Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding an unauthorized credit inquiry on my credit report by XXXX XXXX. This inquiry appears to be a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 609 ( b ), which governs the permissible purposes for accessing consumer credit information. 

Details of the Issue : Unauthorized Inquiry : Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered an inquiry listed under " XXXX XXXX '' that I did not authorize. I have never applied for or requested any credit product or service associated with XXXX XXXX. 

Potential Data Breach : This unauthorized inquiry raises concerns about a potential credit breach, as my personal information may have been accessed and misused without my consent.

Violation of FCRA Section 609 ( b ) : Under the FCRA, credit inquiries must be conducted with the explicit consent of the consumer or for a permissible purpose as defined by the statute. The presence of this inquiry without my authorization constitutes a clear violation of these provisions. 

Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue : I have attempted to contact XXXX XXXX directly to request an explanation and evidence of permissible purpose or authorization for this inquiry. As of this date, I have not received any satisfactory response. 

I have also disputed this inquiry with the credit reporting agencies ( Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX ) but have not received confirmation that it has been removed. 

Requested Resolution : I request that the CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly and hold XXXX XXXX  accountable for any improper actions or violations of the FCRA. 

I request that XXXX XXXX provide documentation verifying the permissible purpose or consumer authorization for this inquiry. If no such documentation exists, I request that the inquiry be immediately removed from my credit report. 

I request that measures be taken to ensure that XXXX XXXX complies with FCRA regulations to prevent unauthorized inquiries or breaches of consumer credit information in the future. 

Enclosed with this letter, I have provided : A copy of my credit report highlighting the unauthorized inquiry by XXXX XXXX. 

Copies of correspondence I have sent to XXXX XXXX and the credit reporting agencies regarding this issue. 

This unauthorized inquiry has caused me unnecessary distress and raises serious concerns about the security of my personal information. I trust the CFPB will take swift action to address this violation and ensure compliance with consumer protection laws. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I was notified that someone ran a hard inquiry on my credit. It was Capital One stating that I wanted a credit card. I did not apply for this and informed there fraud department. They said that they would deny the request and that I should have nothing to worry about. I inquired about the phone number, as well as other things about the application to which they would not share any information with me about the application that I supposedly filled out citing privacy laws. What about my privacy that was violated? Dont I have the right to obtain this information that someone is using my social security number for?

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Against TransUnion for Failing to Correct Inaccurate Late Payment Information on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report. Despite multiple requests for correction, this issue remains unresolved. Below is a summary of the errors and discrepancies associated with my account : Summary of Errors and Discrepancies : Inaccurate Late Payment : TransUnion and XXXX are reporting a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/year>. This information is incorrect as all payments were made on time, supported by the attached evidence, including bank statements and account transaction records. 
Inconsistent Reporting Across Bureaus : While XXXX corrected the late payment after my second dispute on XX/XX/year>, TransUnion and XXXX continue to report the error. 
Failure to Verify and Update : The credit bureaus failed to adhere to their responsibility under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to ensure the accuracy of consumer information. This includes not properly investigating or correcting the dispute. 
Background : I initially disputed the inaccurate late payment on XX/XX/year> and submitted a follow-up dispute on XX/XX/year>. While XXXX promptly resolved the issue by removing the incorrect late payment, TransUnion and XXXX have neglected to make the same correction, causing undue harm to my creditworthiness. 
Violations : FCRA Violations : According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. The continued reporting of an inaccurate late payment violates this requirement. 
TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act mandates accurate and timely disclosures. The erroneous late payment reporting has caused financial harm and reputational damage.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act emphasizes the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, which has not been upheld in this case.

Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation from TransUnion and XXXX. 
Written confirmation of the correction from XXXX. 
Assurance that my credit report is updated to accurately reflect my payment history across all bureaus. 
Failure to resolve this issue promptly will leave me no choice but to escalate my complaint further, including legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant agencies. Please address this matter urgently to prevent further harm to my credit profile. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I requested two wire transfers from my Chase checking account to be sent to a recipient who also banks at Chase. The same recipient had previously received a wire from me in XX/XX/XXXX but at that time they banked at XXXX and the account had since been closed. 

I used the XXXX website to set up a new recipient because the old recipient information from last XXXX was not visible as an option in my wire transfer recipient list. The new account was set up with Chase as the receiving bank, whereas the XX/XX/XXXX transfer was to XXXX XXXX  ( which the recipient has since closed ). 

In the same session I submitted 2 wire transfer requests to the same recipient ( at Chase bank account ), XXXX each on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Chase processed the XX/XX/XXXX transaction correctly. The morning of XX/XX/XXXX chase put a fraud hold on my account. I spoke to an agent to unfreeze the account and the agent asked me to resubmit the wire. I resubmitted it, again using the newly created recipient information with their Chase bank routing and account number. 

Later XX/XX/XXXX Chase showed the wire transfer had actually been sent to XXXX XXXX  ( the expired, defunct XXXX information rather than the XXXX recipient ). XXXX returned the wire less a {$25.00} fee. Chase additionally kept the {$25.00} transfer fee despite having errred and sent the wire to an incorrect recipient. 

After two more calls to customer service, one branch visit, and being transferred across 3 different international Chase call centers their agents claim they can not refund the {$25.00} fee XXXX withheld from the returned wire that resulted from Chase 's error.

State: MS

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
