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!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: CCF Intermediate Holdings LLC

Complaint narrative:
At first when the National Credit Adjusters were calling, I thought it was a fraud caller trying to get money from me because that had happened before. Even though, I have never given my personal information and the caller threaten me by saying he was going to call the police if I dont answer the questions. I never did answer.So, this is why I have ignored this claim from the XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

It was not until it began to show a debt in XXXX that I began to wonder on who had taken a loan under my name and when and where did this money went into and how can I prove that it was not me. My husband, rest in peace, kept on saying to ignore it because it was fake. So I did. 

After his passing, I looked again at the XXXX account and I noticed that the debt was still there so I decided to take action. 

I have sent a letter to the XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting documentation and proof that I have taken this loan that they have claimed I did. 

I called XXXX again today, XX/XX/year> and they suggested to go to the FTC and upload an identity theft report since I havent applied to this loan. I dont need a loan.

Company: American Coradius International LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Got letter from American Coradius International LLC that I owed {$1100.00} to creditor : XXXX. I will respond by certified mail that I will dispute. The XXXX community board was very specific that if not by registered mail these crooks will deny you responded. My complaint is that there is no phone number to contact XXXX anywhere on their website, The XXXX chatbot was useless. 
Their XXXX community board has MULTIPLE complaints that this company does represent XXXX but if somehow you can actually talk to someone at XXXX they do not know anything about this company or their representation of XXXX. The XXXX community board has responses from a XXXX representative, I assume employee, that states there is a phone number on the XXXX website to call to report fraud and such issues, but it is non-existent. I logged into my XXXX account and it shows no charges. The XXXX community board has responses that this SCAM or FRAUD or whatever stupidly and incompetence that it is has been going on for YEARS and XXXX and no other government agency has done anything about it. How is this allowed to continue for YEARS? Included in the American Coradius International LLC letter was Reference # XXXX. I was notified that some of my personal information was compromised earlier this year and I filed a notification with the credit agencies. How any company that is competent could engage a debt collector when such a notification exists without verifying the claim is beyond comprehension.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Hi there, Payment is made on time to Citi bank from my bank as automatic payments, as well as push payments as needed. I pay my bill in full every month. 

However, they have charged me interest because even though it was paid by XXXX XXXX  on time, it posted on the XXXX, so Citi counted that late. EVEN THOUGH XXXX XXXX PAID ON THE DUE DATE. Nobody else penalizes me for paying ON THE DUE DATE. But Citi does. 

I called them. They recognized the issue, and apologized, crediting me XXXX XXXX  This isn't my first phone call. 

When I called XXXX about this, and told the admin the issue, before routing me to the correct group to report it, she was upset about this issue too.
