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! 
Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

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: EGL US, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Unfair Loan Practices by BMG LoansAtWork , LLC To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint against BMG LoansAtWork , LLC for what I believe to be violations of federal consumer protection laws, specifically related to a loan I obtained from them on XX/XX/2022. 

Details of the Loan : - Loan Amount : {$3000.00} - Interest Rate : 35.99 % - Fees Involved : {$49.00} Origination Fee, {$15.00} Dishonored Payment Fee - Account/Loan Number : XXXX Issues and Violations : 1. Excessive and Predatory Interest Rates The loan agreement includes an interest rate of 35.99 %, which I believe is excessive and predatory. This interest rate imposes a severe financial burden and appears to take advantage of consumers in distress. 

2. Unfair and Excessive Fees The loan includes a {$49.00} loan origination fee and a {$15.00} dishonored payment fee. These fees, combined with the high interest rate, significantly increase the total cost of the loan. I believe these fees may be unfair and disproportionate, possibly violating federal consumer protection laws. 

3. Failure to Adequately Disclose Terms Under the Truth-in-Lending Act ( TILA ), lenders are required to clearly disclose all fees, terms, and interest rates. In this case, the lender failed to clearly explain the total cost of the loan, including how the high interest rate and fees would impact my financial situation. This lack of clear disclosure left me unaware of the full implications of the loan. 

4. Misleading Payroll Deduction Authorization The loan agreement contains an automatic payroll deduction authorization. While the document states that this authorization is voluntary and revocable, I was under the impression that it was a mandatory condition for receiving the loan. This raises concerns about coercion and potential violations of wage garnishment regulations. 

Desired Resolution : - I request that this loan be removed from my credit report due to the lenders unfair and predatory practices. 
- I request a thorough investigation into BMG LoansAtWork , LLC for potential violations of federal lending laws. 
- I request that appropriate actions or sanctions be taken against the lender if they are found in violation of federal consumer protection laws. 

Supporting Documentation : I have attached a copy of my loan agreement and related correspondence. I am prepared to provide further documentation or assist with any investigation that results from this complaint. 

I respectfully ask that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take action to ensure that this loan is removed from my credit report due to the predatory lending practices involved. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Attachments : - Copy of loan agreement

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
Concerning TransUnion only-I received notification that TransUnion dropped my credit score XXXX on XX/XX/year> from XXXX down to XXXX. I contacted them several times and for a month or 2 nobody could give me an answer because I have 100 % payments and all. Then they tried saying because my mortgage company didnt update since XXXX they dropped it. I said well they sometimes dont report to all agencies. They requested an update payment history from XXXX XXXX and told me once it was updated my score would be fixed and show next cycle. Never happened. We opened another dispute. Then they said it was because our mortgage balance is too high. We have been paying on time and never missed a payment. Everyone at TU that I chatted with said thats no reason for our credit score to drop. We just want it fixed. 
Thank you XXXX
