Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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. 


EQUIFAX 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I applied Bilt Card on XX/XX/year> and got approved. They send the physical card on XX/XX/year> according to date on mail. I received this card and confirmed it. 
However around XXXXXX/XX/year> this card is closed and I didn't receive any notice before that or after its closed. I find this trough app. 
I called bilt to ask why they closed it, they said that they required additional information ( confirmation of my address ) and deadline passed so it's closed, and nothing they can do now. 

First, I didn't receive any such request about confirming my address ( mail/email/text/phone ). 
Second, they told me they sent this and place my account on hold on XX/XX/year>, that's before they even sent this card. 
Third, they sent the card to the exact address that they want to confirm, and I received this card and confirmed this card through app, which could prove the address is mine. 

I didn't receive anything, either requests to upload documents or warnings about closing my account, and I could only know this after they closed my account and I called them. However they couldn't do anything after account closed. 

Based on these evidence I do believe it's their system 's fault, and I got suffered my credit score and didn't even use it for a month.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, we purchased a XXXX at a XXXX XXXX XXXX. We spoke with a representative of XXXX XXXX about financing options. The representative told us that we could finance the purchase of the bed at a 0 % interest rate for 12 months. That sounded appealing to us, we asked about what the monthly payment would be and how that would work. The representative said they could take care of everything with the bank that provides the financing and we signed that day to purchase the bed with the 0 % APR financing with Synchrony Bank. What the XXXX XXXX representative did not mention was that if for any reason the full amount of the loan wasn't paid off within 12 months we would be charged at a 30 % interest rate on the full original borrowed amount of the loan. In our case, the purchase amount was about {$4800.00}. So about {$1400.00} worth of interest if we missed paying it back by XXXX XXXX by that 12-month mark. This was not clear at all at the time of purchase and since the financing was being handled by XXXX XXXX we didn't really have the chance to look at the financing details ourselves at the time of purchase. After a couple months of noticing that nothing had been charged to our checking account I took matters into my own hands to ensure we were paying for our bed purchase. No bill pay had been set up despite us giving our checking account info to XXXX XXXX to set up the financing as they promised too. Since it wasn't carried out we were behind in our financing pay back schedule and when XXXX of XXXX came and we had hit our 12 month mark we were charged the full amount of that {$1400.00} in interest and now every month we began to be charged 30 % APR. It was completely deceptive and grossly negligent to lead a well meaning paying customer into a 30 % backdated interest charge for such a large borrowing amount. I also just saw that they have since raised up their interest rates even higher and am confident that the business model centers around hoping that customers will not make that payment in time. Through their partnership with XXXX XXXX they have representatives that are able to assist in getting the loan that either do not understand the loan that they are providing to people or are intentionally not mentioning the extremely high risk to missing that 12-month deadline. Further, since XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX representative insisted on handling the financing XXXX XXXX and Sychrony further alienated me from seeing the loan 's fine print and had a completely unqualified person offering the loan.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''
