Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 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.

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

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Issue is with : Bank of America ( BoA ) - VISA/a refund has not been posted to my XXXX  ( ending XXXX ). 
On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX sent me an email stating that XXXX XXXX issued me a refund of {$28.00} and the money was refunded to my XXXX. " It may take a few days to appear on your statement ''. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted BoA, spoke with XXXX. I explained the issue and offered the XXXX transaction ID number indicating XXXX sent the refund. XXXX told me there is no mechanism within the bank to track something like this and it takes XXXX days for the refund to post. I thanked him and today is the XXXX day and my credit is not posted. 
I went to my XXXX account and retrieved additional information ( copy attached ), that states the refund stated XX/XX/XXXX - sent back to your card XXXX and Processed by card issuer XX/XX/XXXX. Card issuer is Bank of America. 

Since BOA states they have no way of tracing this I am asking the CFPB to intervene on my behalf because, as a former retired Banker I find it hard to understand that an institution has no procedure in place to assist a customer. I've never had an issue like this before with BoA posting a refund so I think this is something that is stuck somewhere in the system. Attached XXXX information regarding the refund
