Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In response to my request for a credit report and credit score, Equifax has three times tried to tell me by mail that they cant find my file and that I must send them my Social Security information and a copy of my drivers license so they can verify my identity. On all three occasions I have sent them the documents they requested even though I know they already have this information and are now engaging in harassment pure and simple. The reason I know they are harassing me and already have the information they have demanded is because I obtained a copy of my credit report by visiting their office at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year> where I learned that Equifax had lowered my credit score to XXXX from XXXX. I wrote to Equifax requesting an explanation for this plunge and what I got instead of an answer was the afore mentioned letters claiming they cant locate my credit file. Equifax is here engaging in retaliation towards me because I understand how this corrupt, quasi-criminal enterprise works and am not afraid to say so. Equifax is setting the stage to torpedo my efforts to rent an apartment, obtain a loan or additional credit cards by telling these banks or vendors they have no file on me which is will result in default and my not being able to obtain housing, a mortgage, a car loan or any form of credit. The Fair Credit Reporting Act needs to be overhauled and Equifax needs to be sanctioned for its abuse of consumers.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against NAVY Federal Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits.

This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against NAVY Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite intially available funds.

I feel these were unfair practices and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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 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

However, this disputed account is still being reported on my credit file. 

I am requesting immediate action to remove this incorrect reporting from my account. Please provide a prompt resolution and confirm that the matter has been addressed. If further documentation is needed, kindly inform me as soon as possible.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where XXXX has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Capitol One on XX/XX/year> to settle a debt. Initially I asked to have the debt removed if possible due to how it was affecting my life and also due to life altering circumstances such as the loss of my mother and job. 

We agreed on 30 % forgiveness and that it would be updated in the system, Id receive documentation via email in 24 business hours so I could provide it to my realtor and my job so I could make progress in regaining my security clearance. 

They took the payment immediately, it still shows I owe a debt on their system and I havent received my confirmation of debt resolved letter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express concern regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zell numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and 1zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

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  account [ 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.
