Complaint narrative:
On XXXX Old Navy-Gap Navyist closed my credit card because they said I missed 4 payments. They claimed that they sent the credit card statements to my email address ; however, I never received them. When I asked them what email address they had on file, they couldn't provide me with the correct email address. My email is XXXX. They have the correct cell phone number XXXX, but the incorrect email address, which explains why I have not been receiving my statements.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I originally opened a CD account with Marcus years ago and in the past few years, I opened a XXXX with the company. I tried to log-in to my Marcus account around the timeframe of early XXXXXXXX XXXX I got a notification that Marcus had locked my account and I needed to call to resolve the issue. Upon calling, I was informed that my account was being closed. The representative told me that accounts will get closed for three reasons : 1 ) information provided upon account opening is fraudulent 2 ) there is illegal activity 3 ) a negative balance is kept in the account. 

None of those situations pertain to this account, I have referred other people to Marcus in the past, and I had just gotten the balance back up to as high as it has been. So to have the account closed, with no reasoning given, and with no timeframe when I would be receiving the check, was incredibly disappointing and surprising, especially considering I have not received any notice at all. It feels very predatory.

Re : Dispute of Charge-Off Account under the CARES Act, FCRA, and TILA Account Number : XXXX Creditor Name : XXXX  XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint against XXXX  XXXX for XXXX XXXX a charge-off account on my credit report. This action is inconsistent with the protections established under the CARES Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 

CARES Act During the national emergency caused by the XXXX pandemic, I applied for and was approved for a financial relief program provided by XXXX  XXXX XXXX Under the XXXX XXXX, creditors were required to provide payment deferrals or modifications and report the accounts in a favorable status while participating in these programs. Despite complying with the terms of the program, my account was marked as charge-off, which is a violation of this law. 

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) According to the FCRA, creditors and credit reporting agencies are required to report accurate information. Reporting my account as charge-off is incorrect and unfairly damaging my credit history. I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to ensure that this error is properly investigated and that the charge-off status is removed from my credit report. 

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to provide clear and accurate information regarding credit terms and any modifications to them.

Request Therefore, I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and require XXXX XXXX to remove the charge-off status from my credit report, as the information is inaccurate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I called Navient on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX ext. XXXX to request a XXXX  misconduct discharge application. I found out about this application on a social media site. Navient had not notified me that my account was eligible for this program. The representative I spoke with said my account was eligible for review and it would take 30 days to complete. Once approved, I would receive an application. 

I called again on XX/XX/XXXX to follow up on the status. The representative informed me that I needed to fill out an application in order to apply for the discharge. I explained that was I told my account needed to be reviewed first. She said that was incorrect and sent me an application via my Navient inbox. The previous misinformation prolonged my application process unnecessarily. 

I received the application on XX/XX/XXXX, and submitted it on XX/XX/XXXX. Navient confirmed it was received on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I received a letter via the Navient inbox on XX/XX/XXXX stating my application was denied for the following reason : " Navient carefully considers a variety of factors in determining whether a private loan should be XXXX based on school misconduct and you do not meet the requirements for discharge based on misconduct by your school. '' I called Navient and asked the representative for a more detailed explanation of my denial and asked what specific requirements did I not meet, since it was already predetermined that I was eligible for this program. She stated she doesn't know the specific reason, and they have a lot of factors they consider. She could not provide what those factors are. I was told I could appeal the decision, but without specific reasons for my denial, I would risk being denied again for the same unidentified reason. 

I provided supporting documentation that shows my federal student loans are currently a part of a XXXX XXXX case and my application is still pending. I also provided a court case from XXXX that shows the XXXX XXXX XXXX  was a participating in fraudulent and misleading practices.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts 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/updated.

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.

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!
