Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is incorrect
Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
LexisNexis Consumer Center XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting of Driver 's License Status Dear LexisNexis Consumer Center, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information contained in my consumer report maintained by LexisNexis. Specifically, it has come to my attention that your records indicate my valid drivers license has been expired since XX/XX/year>. This information is incorrect and has the potential to cause significant harm to my reputation and financial standing. This has significantly impacted my auto insurance rates. 
Factual Discrepancy : My drivers license ( License Number : XXXX, issued by the State of Washington XXXX DC ], is valid and has not been expired. I have attached copies of my current drivers license and any relevant renewal documents to confirm the accuracy of my claim. 
Applicable Federal Laws : Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., LexisNexis, as a consumer reporting agency, is obligated to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of information contained in consumer reports ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The inclusion of erroneous information, such as the expired status of my valid drivers license, constitutes a violation of this obligation. Moreover, failure to correct such inaccuracies within 30 days of receiving this dispute would further violate FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). 
XXXXinancial and Legal Consequences : Providing inaccurate information that causes harm can expose LexisNexis to liability for actual damages, statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation, punitive damages, and legal fees under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ). This inaccurate reporting may also result in additional claims under state consumer protection laws. 
Requested Action : I kindly request that LexisNexis take the following actions promptly : 1. Investigate this matter and correct the erroneous information about the status of my drivers license.

2. Provide me with a written confirmation that the error has been corrected and the updated consumer report reflecting this correction.

3. Notify any third parties who have received my consumer report in the last thirty-six months that the erroneous information has been corrected.

Enclosures : 1. Copy of my certified driveling record I expect a response to this dispute within 30 days as required under the FCRA. Please direct your correspondence to the contact information provided at the top of this letter. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I reserve the right to take further action, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and/or pursuing legal remedies. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely,

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Commenity Bank has repeatedlyvcharged excessive late fees and interest on my cards. They told me their policy doesn't allow for waiver or late fee removal. Then told me they only will remove XXXX late fee in a XXXX month period and that's not even the full amount only half. But then turned around and said its at the discretion of the company. Their being discriminatory and picking who they waive late fees for. This was not part of the terms and agreement when I got my cards. They've also changed the payment time must be in to avoid a late fee. It went from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They use that threshold to accumulate excessive late fee charges.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Had made a booking for a stay via XXXX. However, the booking was cancelled by the merchant themselves and was never supposed to get charged for the booking per theyre security reason verification. Therefore, I left it alone and was never supposed to get charged to my Bank of America credit card. However, they still charged me for the booking even tho It was supposed to be cancelled and me never actually staying at the property. I submitted a dispute with bank of america, dispute number # XXXX. They provided me with provisional credit but then denied my claim and debited the amount back. The merchants evidence does not show any real concrete evidence that i actually checked in and stayed at the property because i never did as they had cancelled it days before. Not sure why I was still charged. i have attached an email from THE MERCHAnt stating cancellation of the booking and a full refund. Please help recover my money. Not fair that i was charged for something they cancelled and i never received. Thank you
