Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
The lease is with Toyota Financial Services. They acknowledged receipt of the payoff check on XX/XX/2024. To date the lease has not been paid off. After contacting them to follow up I was told that it could take as long as two months for the payoff to be processed as they changed vendors. In the mean time I was told that I needed to continue to make the lease payments so that my credit rating would not be negatively affected.

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

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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My VISA statement for the period ended XX/XX/year>, included an interest charge of {$5.00} based on an interest rate of 7.9 percent and calculated on a balance of {$780.00}. I am disputing the method used to calculate the interest charge. 

My XXXX statement showed a balance of {$1800.00}. I paid {$1500.00} prior to the due date, leaving a balance of {$290.00}. My interest should have been calculated based on {$290.00}, which to my knowledge is the way XXXXXXXX XXXX and other banks with credit cards do it. By including additional purchases in the calculation, Bank of America increased the balance used for the calculation from {$290.00} to {$780.00}, thus increasing the XXXX amount of my interest from {$2.00} ( calculated on a 365-day basis with 31 days in XXXX ) to {$5.00}, which I would think would be illegal. 

While the XXXX XXXX of excess interest in this case is small, there are likely XXXX XXXX XXXX of other Bank of America customers who are also being charged excessive interest, possibly in the XXXX XXXX XXXX. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should determine the legality of Bank of America 's method of computing interest and take appropriate action if, as I suspect, their method is against the law.

It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report.
