Complaint narrative:
My account with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXXXXXX 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 ( 30-90 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. 


( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX 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!

Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. 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. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. 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.

Company: OPTUM BANK, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On two prior, recent complaints tot the CFPB, I asserted that Optum Bank does not provide a way for customers to reach representatives in the USA. The responses from Optum Bank stated that I have the right to speak with US representiatives and would able to reach US representatives upon request. Therefore, I called Optum Bank again several times and every time I was told that the only way to reach a US representative was to request a call back. For example, I requested a call back on XX/XX/year>. No representative every called me back. My telephone system logs every incoming and outgoing call and there have been no calls from anyone at Optum Bank. 

Today I called Optum Bank again and requested to speak with a US representative and also inquired about the disposition of my XX/XX/XXXX request to speak with an Optum Bank XXXX. Neither the rep with whom I initially spoke today nor her supervisor could provide the disposition of the XX/XX/XXXX request. Furthermore, as usual, the reps were located in an incredibly noisy call center that made it difficult for them to hear me. 

With knowledge of and permission from the reps, I recorded today 's call. The recording can be heard at : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Any intelligent person who listens to the recording will agree that Optum Bank has no intention of allowing customers to speak with US representatives XXXX 

The Optum Bank reps confirmed that they have no way to transfer callers to the USA. Optum Bank will not provide a phone number to reach US reps. Even upon request, Optum Bank 's responders to CFPB complaints do not provide their phone number. At best, they provide an email address and they do not reliably respond to emails. Furthermore, when they do respond, they responses are often incoherent or do not address the complaint. 

It is abundantly clear that the Optum Bank customer support process is designed to fail.

The CFPB should fine Optum Bank for deceptive trade practices and for failing to provide customer service that meets US banking standards.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Delay Due to Billing Error : I was not notified of the correct payment amount, as the statement issued by XXXX contained an error. This resulted in a delayed payment, which should not have been reported as late since I resolved the issue promptly after receiving the correct billing information. 
No Late Payment Notification : I was not provided with any notice from XXXX regarding an impending late payment. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I should have been notified before any negative information was reported to the credit bureaus, which did not happen in this case. 
Evidence Provided : I have attached my payment history and bank statements, showing that I made all payments once the correct billing information was provided. This clearly demonstrates that the late payment was due to a billing discrepancy and not negligence on my part. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint.
