Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I trust this correspondence finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a troubling discrepancy within my credit report concerning late payments associated with my accounts. Upon meticulous review of my report, I have identified instances where late payments have been inaccurately recorded, adversely affecting my credit standing. Upon contacting the companies linked to these accounts, they acknowledged a fault on their part. They have committed to rectifying the error by updating and amending my accounts to accurately reflect my payment history. They attributed these inaccuracies to a system glitch that led to the erroneous reporting of late payments. It is perplexing to me that while other credit bureaus have already rectified the status of these accounts, your bureau continues to report these late payments. This disparity in reporting raises doubts regarding the verification protocols employed by your bureau to ensure the precision of reported information.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX XXXX, Capital One Bank, and CFPB, I am filing this formal complaint regarding an account with an alleged balance of {$2400.00} that appears on my credit report, which I dispute vehemently. Despite my dispute with the credit reporting agency, they confirmed the account 's validity based on your response. I have no recollection of any relationship with your collection agency or the original creditor, and I believe there are significant inaccuracies in how this account is being reported, constituting violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

In an effort to resolve this matter amicably, I demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or any document bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Without such documentation, you are obligated to correct any erroneous reports of this debt under my name. 

Please provide the following information promptly : Documentation evidencing your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) regarding this alleged debt.

Explanation of the legal basis for your collection of information. 
Explanation of the legal basis for your collection of this alleged debt. 
Proof of your authorization to conduct business or operate in this state. 
Evidence of the alleged debt, including any contract or document bearing my signature. 
A complete account history, detailing all charges added for collection activities. 
I am formally complaining about violations of my consumer rights under various sections of the FCRA and FDCPA : Under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 602 ( a ), I have a right to privacy, and according to 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 
I demand an immediate cessation of all communication and collection activities related to this account. 
I request the immediate deletion of this account from my credit report as I have no knowledge or contractual obligation pertaining to it. 
Your actions have severely impacted my credit report and financial standing. Specifically, I allege violations of the following sections of the FDCPA : 1692d : Harassment or abuse in connection with the collection of a debt. 
1692e : Use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations.

1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) : Misrepresentation of the character, amount, or legal status of the debt.

1692e ( 5 ) : Threatening legal action that can not legally be taken or is not intended to be taken.

1692g ( b ) : Conducting collection activities that overshadow or contradict the disclosure of my right to dispute the debt.

1692f : Use of unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect a debt. 
I demand the immediate removal of this account from all credit reporting agencies. Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I had a Citibank credit card for 38 years but I closed the account last XXXX due to repeated security breaches with credit cards being sent to me for individuals I did not know. After repeated calls/attempts to resolve this issue and receiving poor customer service, I closed the account I cut up my card and did not log onto the website ( I was on paperless billing ) XXXX also forgot my password due to not using it anymore. I am thinking that this is a done issue. I received an email in XXXX stating I had a charge from XXXX for a subscription renewal. I was no longer using XXXX as I have a new laptop and am using XXXX now. I called Citibank and disputed the charge. I was told that the charge would be investigated as the charge was processed AFTER I closed the account. I once again think I am through with Citibank. This past XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email ( for the first time ) from Citibank stating that I owe over {$200.00}. I once again call Citibank and was routed from Customer Service to Billing Disputes to Security to Collections. Each representative claiming that they could not help me and then transferring me to the next department. I made repeated calls to Citibank over the next 2 weeks, spending about 4 hours on the phone, each call being routed to the different departments with no resolution .I sent a letter XX/XX/XXXX but have not heard anything. I sent a payment today, XX/XX/XXXX, for the balance of {$100.00} ( which I was told today when I called once again ). I do not owe this as I did not authorize the charge but am tired of trying to resolve the issue and continuing to accrue late fees. The delinquent payment is now reflecting on my credit rating. I am still confused how a payment was processed AFTER I closed the account and confused why no one I spoke with could explain it to me. Citibank has exhibited the worst customer service I have ever experienced, especially considering the fact I was a long time customer with an excellent payment history.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my outrage at the clear violation of credit reporting laws demonstrated by the continued presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Despite assurances from reputable companies and the validation of an identity theft report, these inaccurate entries remain unaddressed. 

Your failure to remove these accounts, despite clear evidence of their fraudulent nature, blatantly disregards the laws governing accurate reporting. It is evident that the bureau is not fulfilling its duty to properly investigate and rectify inaccuracies. 

Furthermore, other credit bureaus have already removed these accounts from their records after the submission of FTC report and thorough investigation. I demand immediate and decisive action to correct these violations.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Chase Bank regarding their handling of my visa chargeback request. On XX/XX/2024, I received a call from a woman named XXXX XXXX, who provided me with erroneous information and displayed a lack of knowledge about the specifics of the visa chargeback code for services not as described. 

Specifically, XXXX XXXX was unable to explain why Chase did not update my visa chargeback code to reflect " services not as described, '' despite my written request on XX/XX/2024, and follow-up phone calls on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2024, to ensure the code was correctly updated. The quality of customer service provided by XXXX XXXX and the thoroughness of the investigation conducted by Chase fall well below the standards I expect from a financial institution of their standing. 

I believe Chase Bank has failed to adequately address and investigate my chargeback request, and their continued lack of responsiveness and understanding of the issue is causing me significant distress and inconvenience. 

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure Chase Bank adheres to proper protocols for handling chargeback requests, provides adequate training to their staff, and improves their customer service standards to meet the needs of their customers. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with 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  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
