Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX Bank Acct # XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information on Credit Report I am writing to formally dispute and request correction of inaccurate information on my credit report. The account details in question are as follows : Creditor Name : [ Creditor 's Name ] Account Number : XXXX Current Status : Closed Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), I am asserting my rights regarding this matter. Specifically, I refer to the following sections : Section 602 ( 15 USC 1681a-2 ), which guarantees my right to privacy and control over the dissemination of my credit information.

Section 1666b of 15 USCS, which states that a creditor may not treat a late payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. 
Despite the closure of this account, it continues to be reported as late. This is inaccurate and misleading, as no late payments occurred after the account was closed. 

I request that XXXX XXXX XXXX  investigate this matter promptly and remove the inaccurate late payment information from my credit report. Please provide me with a written confirmation of the correction once it has been made. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of relevant documents supporting my dispute, including proof of the account closure and any other pertinent information. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please inform me of the steps being taken to resolve this issue within the timeframe prescribed by law.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I noticed a recurring transfer on my acct that I did not recognize on XX/XX/XXXX and reached out to American Express to dispute the transactions- the merchant had been charging me monthly since XX/XX/XXXX. They requested that I reach out to the merchant, and refused to open the dispute without me having done so. This is in violation of Reg Z, which does not require a consumer to reach out to the merchant for a billing dispute. When I separately reached out to the merchant ( because they refused to open the dispute ), the merchant did not pick up. I called AmEx to open the dispute and they tried to validate the merchant number I called and give me a different number for the merchant for me to call. Step after step they were blocking me from opening a dispute. Further, they then told me I was only eligible to dispute the most recent transaction. Again, another Reg Z violation because the rule is that you can dispute transactions 60 days from delivery of the statement, so I had at least 3 transactions eligible for dispute. I had to point this out to the agent, who got visibility frustrated and kept cutting me off ( trying to follow her incorrect procedures ). Only after I threatened the CFPB complaint did I get her to open a dispute on the 3 most recent transactions. She wouldn't even log my notice of error for the older transactions ( even if the outcome would have been non-payment/non-investigation by AmEx ). Overall, a poor experience and made me reconsider the long standing relationship I have with them.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with TRUMARK FIN 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.

XXXX XXXX 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!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is all about making sure credit reporting is fair and accurate. When there are violations under the FCRA, it messes up the banking system, which relies on accurate credit reports. Unfair credit reporting can also shake people 's trust in the system. So, if any of my accounts get reported without my permission, that's basically identity theft, and it's a breach of my privacy since I should have control over what's listed. Luckily, there are laws like 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 that protect me.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads 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 accounts listed without my expressed written consent. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

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.
