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 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Complaint narrative:
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. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXXXXXX 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 made on time : The payment was made before the due date, but it seems there was a processing delay on the creditor 's end. I have attached bank statements showing that the funds were deducted from my account well before the due date. 
Clerical error by creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has admitted that the late payment was due to an internal error in their billing system, and I have attached a letter from the creditor confirming this issue. 
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. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to inform you that I recently discovered an auto loan was opened in my name without my consent. I was shocked and dismayed to learn of this fraudulent activity, as I did not authorize any such loan to be taken out in my name. 

I have taken all necessary steps to safeguard my personal information and prevent identity theft, yet somehow someone was able to obtain a loan using my name and information. This is a clear violation of my privacy and has caused me significant stress and inconvenience. 

I request that you investigate this matter immediately and take appropriate action to rectify the situation. I request that the fraudulent loan be cancelled and removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with any information you have regarding the individual responsible for this fraudulent activity. 

I trust that you will take this matter seriously and work diligently to resolve it in a timely manner. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely,

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: ALLIANT CREDIT UNION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Alliant had automatically deducted from my XXXX account the full statement balance than just the minimum payment as I had swapped over to in early XXXX as I intended to utilize the 0 % balance transfer offer to it's fully extent for a year. I received confirmation on the website that the swap to minimum payments was a success and thought that would be the end of it. A month later on XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered my XXXX account was deducted {$14000.00} ( the full statement balance ) which resulted in overdraft fees along with a potential returned item fee from Alliant despite me not giving permission to deduct the full amount. I am annoyed as I was also charged a {$450.00} " balance consolidation fee '' on XX/XX/XXXX when I took on the balance transfer offer and had a plan to negate the fee throughout the next few months but this was cut abruptly short recently after barely a month since taking on the offer ( the terms were for a year at 0 % apy and just the balance transfer fee ). I'm left suddenly scrambling to get the funds to stop the overdraft fees due to the automatic payment which was supposed to have it's authorization revoked to just making minimum payments to the card. It's ironic as I made the minimum payment on XX/XX/XXXX and saw no notice on the website I would be deducted the full statement balance. The " Automatic Payment Category '' even says " Minimum payment due from checking ''.
