Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Delay Due to a Bank Transfer Error : My payment for XX/XX/XXXX was initiated on time. However, a processing error on my bank 's end delayed the transfer by 24 hours. I provided bank statements and transfer confirmation showing the exact date the payment was initiated and the error acknowledged by my bank. 
System Outage on Payment Portal : During the period in question, XXXX experienced an outage on their online payment portal, which prevented me from making a timely payment through the usual online process. I contacted customer service immediately after the issue and have attached screenshots of my conversation with their support team confirming the technical outage. 
Incorrect Late Payment Assignment : The late payment was incorrectly applied to my account even though my payment history shows that I have consistently made on-time payments. There was no valid reason for the assignment of a late fee or the reporting of this late payment, and I have attached payment receipts that show consistent payments for the past two years.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the item listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ITEMS? I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

State: CT

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CT XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the management of my Citi credit card ending in XXXX account. After experiencing financial hardship, I accumulated a balance of approximately {$7000.00} on this credit card. Despite the challenges, I was committed to paying down this debt. I successfully arranged a payment plan with Citi for {$180.00} per month, which was being automatically withdrawn from my account.

However, without notice, Citi stopped withdrawing payments. Concerned, I contacted customer service and was informed that my account had been placed under internal review. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to obtain any clear information about the status of my account. I have called multiple times over the past six months, only to be transferred between departments without resolution.

I remain ready and willing to continue making payments, but Citi has neither resumed the withdrawals nor provided a timeline for releasing my account from internal review. This lack of communication has left me in a difficult position, impacting my ability to responsibly manage this debt. I am also concerned that my credit report may be affected due to this situation, which is beyond my control. I would appreciate your immediate help in this matter. 

Kind Regards, XXXX XXXX

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have been an XXXX Credit Card holder for some time. I had set up autopayment and nothing had changed with my bank account. They randomly cancelled my autopay and claimed that I did it, but I did not authorize this. I only discovered this when I received a late fee and interest charge on my account. I called, they removed the fee as a one time courtesy and I paid in full, but not before making sure that they confirmed autopay was set up. I verified my banking account information was accurate and saw on the XXXX website that it was there. 
Once again, for billing cycles in XXXX and XXXX, they did the same. When I called to inquire, I was told that I cancelled autopayment in XXXX, which is not true. Why would I do this?? 
When I called again today, I paid in full the amount that was due, but they refused to remove the late charge and finance fees stating they had already done this as a one-time courtesy in XXXX when I called. 
I asked for my account to be closed, and I paid the balance in full online, and asked the customer service rep to confirm it posted. She said it did, but when I asked for a confirmation #, she states she can not give me a confirmation # because they can not do that with online payments. She insisted on taking my payment over the phone but was going to charge me some random fee of {$9.00} and some change. 
I am reporting this because I feel as if XXXX did this with intent to collect money that was not due, and I am likely not the only customer this happened to. It is suspicious for fraudulent behavior and should be investigated with intent.
