Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
This afternoon, I was taken aback to find inaccurate accounts on my credit report with no clue as to why they appeared. I check my report regularly, and this time, these errors seemed to come out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser, hoping it was just a glitch, but the inaccurate accounts remained. Given this unsettling issue, I am requesting a careful review of the documents Ive submitted so I can have peace of mind moving forward.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 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 in XXXX AND XXXX 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. 

XXXX XXXX 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have had an American Express XXXX XXXX since XXXX. During this time I have never made a late payment with American Express. My balance has been about {$50000.00} or so for the last few years. I was out of work for a time and used the card for many of my normal expenses. I was happy to learn that Amex would allow me to " pay over time '' for these charges and make it more manageable for me to pay the card balance off over time. However, the interest rate that Amex is billing to my card monthly ( 20 % of the total balance ) has made it almost impossible to make any progress on the balance. I have called and spoke with Amex multiple times but they have done nothing to even look at my situation. At this point I have been paying them almost {$12000.00} a year in interest. I am asking for your help to have this rate lowered and potentially receive some of the years of interest overpayments back. Here is the interest charged in XXXX to date. 

Month/Interest Charged by Amex XXXX {$830.00} XXXX {$840.00} XXXX {$860.00} XXXX {$820.00} XXXX {$870.00} XXXX {$840.00} XXXX {$830.00} XXXX {$900.00} XXXX {$840.00} XXXX {$870.00} {$8500.00} on a balance that hovers somewhere around {$50000.00} with payments between {$3000.00} to {$5000.00} each month. 

I am happy to provide any more information you need. This seems very extreme to me and not fair to consumers. I expect more from Amex and this is the only way I think I can get their attention and help. 

Thank You!
