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: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a car from XXXX Toyota XXXX ( Maryland ) on XX/XX/year>. I requested a refund of the extended warranty ( {$3200.00}. ) on XX/XX/XXXX, and the dealer confirmed that they had applied for it. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I tried to use the service contract I had purchased through the dealer for {$840.00} and was told by Toyota Financial that they had no record of it either, so I requested to cancel that as well, which XXXX Toyota confirmed. XXXX Toyota said they had registered the contract, but that Toyota Financial Services was " behind '' in processing the paperwork. This was confirmed by an agent I reached at Toyota Financial Services as well. 

However, Toyota Financial now says that neither of these plans was ever registered by the dealership with them so they have no way of refunding them. The dealer says that both the application and the request for refund were submitted to Toyota Financial Services, so I don't believe Toyota Financial Services is being forthcoming about this. 

I need help getting Toyota Financial Services to refund this amount to me in the form of a refund payment to my loan with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX in the amount of {$3200.00}. plus {$840.00}. for a total of {$4000.00} plus interest at 8 % for the last few months.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX 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!

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized.

Company: FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally submit a complaint against First Citizens Bank regarding predatory lending practices that have put me in a financially devastating situation. My name is XXXX XXXX, and I obtained a {$67000.00} truck loan from First Citizens Bank. Despite diligently making payments for two years, I recently discovered that my loan balance has inexplicably increased to {$88000.00}. 

The bank claims that I owe over {$20000.00} in fees, and they continue to add late fees on top of this amount. Shockingly, none of my payments have been applied to the loan 's principal. I have asked the bank for a traditional loan, but instead, I am now facing what appears to be fraudulent and predatory loan terms. The bank is threatening to repossess the truck, which is essential to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX further jeopardizing my financial stability. 

This situation has caused me significant emotional distress and financial strain, and I believe that First Citizens Bank 's practices may violate federal laws protecting consumers from unfair and deceptive lending practices. I respectfully request the CFPB 's intervention to investigate this matter and hold First Citizens Bank accountable for any violations.

Please advise on any further information you may require to process this complaint. I appreciate your immediate attention to this serious issue.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Against XXXX for Refusal to Update Personal Information Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX, Equifax, XXXX for their refusal to update my personal information on my credit report. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a personal information update letter to XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, requesting the correction of my address and other personal details. This letter was accompanied by the necessary documentation, including a copy of my driver 's license, Social Security card, and a utility bill to verify my address. The document was also notarized. 
However, on XX/XX/year>, I received a response from XXXX, Equifax, XXXX stating that my request could not be processed because I did not provide a government ID. This statement is incorrect and misleading, as I had included all required documents, including a government-issued ID, in my initial submission. 
Attached to this complaint, you will find a copy of my original personal information update letter and all supporting documents that were submitted to XXXX, Equifax, XXXX. 
I believe that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX 's refusal to update my information is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under sections 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( Compliance procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy ). 
XXXX, Equifax, XXXX 's failure to acknowledge and properly review the provided documentation is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA. According to the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and must be provided with a fair and reasonable investigation of their dispute. By ignoring the documentation I provided, XXXX has failed to uphold their obligation to conduct a fair investigation, thereby violating my consumer rights.
