Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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.

If you do not initiate an investigation regarding my dispute and delete this information within 4 business days of receiving this notice per 15 USC 1681c-2, as is my right under the FCRA, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Each violation of the FCRA allows for damages of {$1000.00} should this matter be brought to court. 15 U.SXXXX Code 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) essentially states that if a person willfully violates any requirement of the FCRA with respect to a consumer, they are liable to that consumer for any actual damages suffered as a result. If actual damages can not be determined, the consumer can still receive statutory damages ranging from {$100.00} to {$1000.00}. This provision ensures that consumers are protected and have recourse if their rights under the FCRA are willfully violated.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Complaint narrative:
Re-submission of same claim as documented under XXXX, which, alas, has still produced no actual proof in support of the company 's claims that any terms and conditions documents were ever provided with the initial cards. To date, this has gone unproven, and I will continue to dispute what is undoubtedly a lie, until satisfaction is given! What proof will you provide that supports the allegations made? Please advise accordingly. Thank you. P.S., it would be in your company 's best interest to comply, so that I will put an auspicious end to this wholly disappointing course of conduct that your organization is so willing to perpetuate. I will not accept any outcome other than equitable indemnification of the misappropriated funds, and I have no intention of departing from that righteous path. As such, it would behoove you to alert your supervisors of this steadfast dedication to what is right, and simply return the wrongfully stolen funds.

Please investigate the unlawful practice of Lexis Nexis and there methods of conducting investigations as the accuracy of reporting information.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year>, I called Macy 's American Express to inform them that XXXX XXXX XXXX  had scammed me on the purchases of Tickets. XXXX positioned itself as the XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I immediately caught the discrepancy when they sent the charge and called their number indicated to cancel the charges. It was a foreign location, and the person could not understand English very well and kept me on the phone for almost 30 minutes. After I spoke with them, I called Macy 's American Express and informed them not to accept the charges. Macy said they could not dispute or stop the charges until AFTER they had been posted. I was told to call after the charges had been posted. This seems to be very unfair to the Consumer since AM EX received notice before the charges were accepted that it was a scam. As per the Complaint XXXX sent to you XX/XX/year>, I contacted them to not send the tickets because of the predatory additional charges in excess of {$300.00}. They did not reply to you. They sent what I assume were the tickets to me which I did not open and returned to them. I sent an email to XXXX support, and it was returned to me undeliverable. They vanished. I purchased the Tickets from XXXX XXXX XXXX within that hour with a {$6.00} service fee. My complaint to you was sent to FTC. Macy 's American Express has refused to refund me the {$470.00} XXXX charged me on this scam. I have attached their reply, dated XX/XX/year>. They have charged my account. SECOND ISSUE : As you will see in the dispute sent to AM EX on XX/XX/year>, I requested that Macy 's AM EX not to increase my credit limit automatically. If they did, I told them I would not be responsible for charges on that account. In XX/XX/year>, Macy 's AM EX increased the credit limit without my approval. It is very hard to have regulations that protect the Consumer like me. It seems that Unchecked Capitalism favors the Corporations and Billionaires. Over 70 % of American are living on credit cards and the interest rate is extremely high. The Credit Card companies are giving credit increases in order to tempt consumers into even more debt and poverty.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my concern regarding the Adverse Action Notice I received from Navy Federal Credit Union ( Application ID : XXXX ) on XX/XX/year>. The notice states provides the following reason for actions taken : " EXTENUATING FACTORS EXIST REGARDING YOUR NAVY FEDERAL ACCOUNT ( S ). '' This notice does not provide sufficiently specific reasons for the adverse action taken. As per Regulation B, creditors are required to disclose accurate and detailed factors considered in the credit decision. Specifically, the notice should include the principal reason ( s ) for the adverse action. The reason provided by NFCU is overly broad, vague, and fails to provide specific reason for the adverse action.

The use of EXTENUATING FACTORS is evasive and is a mere synonym for the regulatory requirement to provide specific reasons within the notice. 

I would like to draw attention to relevant regulatory guidance that provides further detail regarding ECOA rules : 1. Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2023-03 : This circular emphasizes that creditors must provide a statement of specific reasons for adverse action, accurately describing the factors considered.
