Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I looked at my report back on XX/XX/XXXX, and noticed some things were incomplete and not accurate. According to the fair credit reporting act, whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. These accounts [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] are not complete and accurate. 

I sent a notarized affidavit highlighting the inaccurate accounts and asking them to make sure everything is complete and accurate and here is my tracking number - XXXX ( they received it on XX/XX/XXXX ). 

They sent me investigation back and said everything is complete and accurate but if you check my attachments everything is not complete and accurate. 

And according to 15 USC 1681i 5 they are suppose to do this : ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. 

Since they did not, I sent another letter on XX/XX/XXXX - Tracking XXXX, requesting them to provide me a description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) : ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. 

That letter was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX and they did not adhere to that either as you will see from the attachments. 

And according to 15 USC 1681s-2 they are suppose to not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I deposited two ( 2 ) checks via mobile from the same individual : one in the amount of {$1800.00} and one for {$2000.00} in my Fifth Third Bank Checking Account number XXXX. The checks were made payableto the corporation i maintained untl my retirement.I was provided with a message that the checks would clear on Monday, XX/XX/year>. On Monday, XX/XX/year>, I attempted to use my debit card, and it was declined. 

I telephoned the bank, and was told my entire account was frozen due to the two deposits. I was then told to go to my local branch to solve the problem, I visited the local Fifth Third Bank branch located at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX telephone XXXX XXXX. The customer service representative who I explained the problem to telephoned another representative who asked for proof that I at one time held a corporation. That proof was provided. secured through the New York State Department of State, I was told it would take up to tree business days for a reply. In the meantime, my entire account remained frozen, including the funds from my social security check. 

On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I telephoned the branch, as I had heard nothing concerning the problem. I was told someone would follow up and contact me. 

On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a telephone call from the branch manager. She stated that the bank was requesting copies of any invoices, which I provided on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. I have heard nothing from the bank, and my account remains frozen, causing several regularly scheduled automatic deductions to be returned, causing me fiancila and emotional distress. 

During this time., I also contacted the person who wrote the checks, as one of the stated reasons the account was frozen waw a question as to whether the account the checks were drawn on contained sufficient funds. She traveled to her bank and was told the checks had cleared. The representative on the branch I visited had confirmed the checks did indeed clear.

This has now been going on for more than TWO WEEKS, and still no resolution, and I still do not have access t my funds totaling {$3800.00}. As I stated above, this incident has caused me severe emotional and financial distress. I have also been locked out of my account totally. I can not even respond to emails sent to me by Fifth Third bank, as I can not open the emails. 

This matter has become critical, as once again Fifth Third Bank ahd been holding my funds for two week and counting. Your assistance in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you. 

Very truly yours, XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions 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 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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.

EQUIFAX 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

Company: VYSTAR CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I paid off an auto loan of {$40000.00} on XX/XX/year>. I was told the lien would be released in ten business days at the branch the day I paid off the loan. I borrowed money from a family member to pay the car off since I needed the money from the automobile sale to keep my house from being foreclosed upon. The car 's value is between {$85000.00} and {$90000.00}. Vystar Credit Union still has not released the lien and after speaking with their customer service this morning I found that I was lied to on the two previous calls I'd made asking about the lien release. On both calls I was assured that the lien was released and that the problem was with the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles. I've spent two hours attempting to uncover the truth ; the DMV assured me that Vystar had not released the lien. After speaking to Vystar customer service on XX/XX/year> and giving them the evidence the DMV had provided, the Vystar rep finally admitted the lien had not been released and gave no explanation as to why, only the problem would be escalated. My home will be in foreclosure on XX/XX/year>. It is criminal that Vystar is allowed to do good, hard-working people this way. They harmed me and my family. After demanding an explanation at my local Vystar branch, the rep alluded that if I didn't calm down, she would recommend that my account be closed at the credit union. So, it's we're at fault ( Vystar ), but if you continue to question what happened, we are going to close your account. Vystar will probably terminate me as a customer over this complaint, but what they are doing isn't ethical or right.
