Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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 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!

Company: Earnest Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Currently, I have a loan that was issued by NavientXXXX XXXX and their service provider is Navient. Navient has excessively called me month by month since getting the loan, ultimately making me regret using the company in the first place. When my payment is past due, Navient will call me upwards of 5-6 times per day throughout the entire week. This has caused multiple disruptions throughout the past 2-3 year, due to the fact that I am still a XXXX XXXX. My mom helps me with this loan, and pays the loan routinely. We do go past due, but have never been over 30 days late with the payment. My mom has constantly asked the caller from Navient to stop calling me and only call her, as she primarily handles it and pays it monthly. This shouldn't be a problem as she is the co-signer for the loan. Often, she will get a caller that has an attitude and likes to raise their voice to my mother, which is highly unprofessional. 

Navient will usually tell us the reason they are calling is because 'We haven't logged into our account for an extended period of time. ' This is a complete lie from Navient because we have to log in every month to schedule the payment. 


This matter need to be handled at Navient, as I see there are many other debtors with the same problem of excessive calling.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Bank of America for violating my consumer rights. The bank failed to provide me the option to opt out before sharing my personal financial information with third parties, including other financial institutions and consumer reporting agencies, which is a breach of both federal ( Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ) and New Jersey state laws ( NJCFA and NJ Identity Theft Prevention Act ). Despite informing Bank of America that I did not consent to this sharing, they responded by referencing their Privacy Policy, which allegedly allows such practices. However, their policy clearly states that they must comply with both federal and state privacy laws. 

I have never signed any contract permitting Bank of America to share my nonpublic personal information. I requested a full accounting of my account, including documentary evidence, to verify the funding and outstanding amount. Bank of America has only provided a copy of the Promissory Note, failing to comply with the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) requirements. 

Moreover, the bank has ignored my explicit instructions to send correspondence to a specific address, continuing to send mail to an inconvenient location, violating New Jersey 's consumer protection laws. This action constitutes identity theft under 15 USC 1681a ( q ) ( 3 ) and is a deliberate effort to deprive me of my rights under 18 USC 242 and collect on credit by extortionate means ( 18 USC 894 ).

The Promissory Note is void and unenforceable, as it violates TILA, UCC, and COM regulations. The alleged creditor, Bank of America, has no valid agreement with me and is in possession of my personal information through identity theft. I seek damages for these violations, including breaches of NJCFA, NJ Identity Theft Prevention Act, FCRA, TILA, UCC, and COM.

Company: AC AutoPay LLC, Denver, CO Branch
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Received an offer letter for Auto refinance from AutoPay and the letter clearly stated that I was Pre-Qualified to refinance my current auto loan with a new lower rate of 5.28 % and a lower payment than I am paying now. 

I used the online QR code to fill out their paperwork and provide documents on Saturday XX/XX/year>XXXX  On Monday XX/XX/year>XXXX  I received a call from their Representative XXXX asking a few more questions about the vehicle and in the conversation I asked about the rate. His first response was one of disbelief that I was offered the rate of 5.28 % and that he thought it would be more in the mid 6 % range. 

He finished collecting the info he needed and said he would call me later in the day. At XXXX XXXX  I received a call from XXXX and he said he had secured an offer from a lender at XXXX % to which I laughed and told him that this was an unacceptable tactic and that it was clear bait and switch. 

XXXX called me on a recorded line and I let his company know through the recording that this was not at all what was offered in the letter and was clearly a bait tactic to get me to apply. 

This company has now caused harm to my credit by running my credit report and offering a rate that is clearly not even close to their stated rate in the letter. There is no * or other note near the rate to indicate that this rate might be higher or differ from their offer. 

I have very good credit and even XXXX indicated that this rate is not available in the call. 

The simple truth is that this letter was designed specifically to bait people in knowing they can not even offer a rate this low.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX was added as a authorized user on the account and they are reporting to XXXX specifically and the other bureaus that I was the account holder. I was authorized on the account from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  until XX/XX/XXXX. The derogatory information on the account was dated from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  until XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  whereas I was never the holder of the account. 

This is preventing me from refinancing my property because it has decreased my score based on the wrong reporting user versus holder and the derogatory accounts whereas I was never even authorized for use. 

the case number they provided is # XXXX and they say that it will take 90 days to resolve and I am being charged {$5000.00} for an extension of my loan until its corrected. 

CapitalONe will only accept this in writing and will not correct this situation in a timely fashion. 

Can I bill them for the additioanl fees? 

post script : they stated that I must provide my social security number in writing or they will not be able to assist me. This goes against any type of privacy laws that are enacted. 

And they gave me two different addresses to resolve this matter. This is ridiculous and a complete waste of time and I have had no less than 3+ hours on the phone to resolve.
