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

Complaint narrative:
My account with 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 in 60 days 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.

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!

State: UT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I wrote a letter to TransUnion asking them to remove information on a collection account that does not belong to my profile. 

I had previously written a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX, the reporting company, asking them to provide a copy of the signed contract for this account, as well as other Debt validation docuuments. They failed to provide the requested documentation. I also sent a follow up letter letting XXXX know that they were missing required documentation and as such they needed to stop all collection efforts, including reporting to Credit Bureaus, but they have ignore my request. 

When I open my dispute with Transunion, I provided copies of my letter and their responses as prove of my dispute. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Credit Bureaus are required to remove all accounts currently under dispute. XXXX has failed to remove the account from my credit report.

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.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem.

My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach.

It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Complaint narrative:
We took a loan out with Mariner Finance in XX/XX/XXXX as an installment loan. We fell behind in payments for a few months but waws able to bring the account completely current as of XX/XX/XXXX and have been current ever since. We were surprised to receive a summons to appear on this loan through small claims court for XX/XX/XXXX last week and today we have attempted to make our regularly scheduled payment and have been restricted in doing so via debit card ( which is only way they will accept payments along with a fee ) which has now placed us as of today late by no fault of ours. 

I feel this company is predatory and not fulfilling their obligations under the truth in lending agreement and forcing us through a legal process despite being current as of today.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I changed homeowners insurance companies and Mr. Cooper Mortgage didnt pay my new insurance. It was overdue as of XX/XX/year> and I was sent a letter of cancelation. When I went on Mr. Cooper website they advertise a Live chat, but when you click it is only automated answers to questions. After searching for an 800 number I called and could not get past the automated system to get to a rep no matter what I did. This is the scenario that repeats each time and was the reason for my prior complaint. There is no way to speak to a live person when an issue can not be solved by automation. I finally found a number on XXXX that got me a live person, she assured me she would transfer me to insurance department live rep but she just transfered me to another automated line I couldnt get through. I finally found yet another number after an online search and I finally got to someone who could get my insurance paid, But. THERE IS NO WAY FOR A CUSTOMER TO REACH A LIVE AGENT USING THE COMPANY WEBSITE INFO. A customer has to stumble upon the right phone number online by accident.

Complaint narrative:
I transferred funds from a linked external bank account to my USAA FSB checking for a family emergency. The originating account had been open and linked to USAA 's online banking for more than 9 years and I have made transfers in the past. USAA held my funds for 5 business days. I called USAA every day and I provided the code from the Federal Reserve showing that the money was debited from the other account, but USAA would not release the funds. They said that an overdraft with my debit card for under {$12.00} put my account 'at risk ' code which gives them the right to hold the ACH credit as if it were a check.
