Complaint narrative:
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Purchased a {$100.00} gift card from InComm Financial Services ( Vanilla Gift card ) in order to use with a specific vendor to purchase items for my XXXX XXXX. I have made purchases with these gift cards 3 times before with the same vendor with no problem.

When this current gift card would not work, I tried getting help from the InComm Financial Services for this card. The first help line person could tell me nothing and continued to read " canned '' responses. I asked to speak with a supervisor. She did the same. After I asked her to stop reading and to look at my card to see why it was not being accepted, she finally stated that she could not see why. I asked to speak with someone above her to try to find out why the card would not work.

She told me that there was no one to speak with regarding my problem.

I have also spoken with the vendor. They state that the problem is that the gift card does not show up as valid EVEN though the gift card online data shows AND the help desk people with InComm Financial Services state that I have {$100.00} on the card which is enough funds to make the purchase.

When I asked how I can get my funds back so that I can find a way to purchase the specific items from the specific vendor that I need, I was told that there was not a way to do that since I had already told the help desk that the card and packaging looked okay.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of concern regarding the negative impact on my credit standing. This issue arose as a result of following the advice of a debt consolidation company, specifically the representatives of the Law offices of XXXX XXXX XXXX and associates. 

Upon seeking assistance from the debt consolidation company, I was advised not to make monthly credit card payments with the intention of allowing these accounts to close. The subsequent closure of these accounts has resulted in a significant decline in my credit scores. Furthermore, reputable financial institutions such as XXXX now have records of me being 90 days or more past due, despite my prior good standing. 

I would like to emphasize that prior to following the advice of the debt consolidation company, my credit accounts were in good standing, and I had a responsible track record of timely payments. The impact of this advice on my credit standing has been distressing and has caused significant inconvenience and concern. 

I have documentation and correspondence from the debt consolidation company, including details of the advice provided and the intended resolution through settlement with lower numbers on these accounts. I believe that this evidence supports my case and underscores the impact of the advice I received. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and make the necessary corrections to my credit report. I am committed to resolving this issue and restoring my credit standing to its previous favorable status. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am available to provide any additional information or documentation as required. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Plan 2, XXXX Different family member required dental surgery, signed up for different plan. I once again trusted that my minimum payments with the addition of this second plan still met the total required to pay off the plan balance by the end of the promotional period. 

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX My balance and payment have more than doubled. Turns out my minimum payments did not meet what should have been required to pay off the plan balance by the end of the promotional period.

Shows you the numbers, but they don't honestly reflect the minimum payments that should be required in order to cover the balance.

Complaint narrative:
Valon Mortgage is the institution. My loan was sold to them for servicing. They have repeatedly failed to post payments sent via PRIORITY Mail with tracking, in a reasonable or timely fashion. XXXX payment was sent XX/XX/XXXXXXXX USPS Priority tracking says it was received XX/XX/XXXX. To date, XX/XX/XXXXXXXX they have failed to post the payment. Even with consideration for the holiday, theyve had from XXXX to post the payment. I have repeatedly called, spoke with multiple agents, and their response is that they filed a ticket and have 3-5 days to respond. I provided support documentation of the tracking and receipt. I was told if i didnt like it I could issue a stop payment on the check. 
This has been an ongoing battle for 18 months with this institution as they are trying to force online banking which I refuse to do. 
They have legally failed to meet their obligation in locating and posting what was a timely payment. Their response to my concern has been dismissive. 
My next filing will be to the FTC.
