Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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.

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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : On XX/XX/year> my identity was stolen. My social security number, personal cell phone number, email, and bank accounts were all compromised -- including my XXXX ID. They used my XXXX XXXX to make numerous fraudulent charges on my Goldman XXXX XXXX credit card. I reported this to Goldman XXXX. 
We disputed all the fraudulent charges, cancelled the card, and the charges were appropriately removed. 
Then a month later, the charges were made again. They had made more purchases on a virtual card through my XXXX ID. The hackers then paid off the amount to charge more. I called and reported this to Goldman XXXX. They again disputed the charges and closed the virtual card. 
THEN a month later I received a statement with the fraudulent balance back on my account. I called to report this to Goldman XXXX again, and they told me they could not find my account. After some digging by the agent, they were able to find my account under a different number and email. The hackers called Goldman XXXX using my stolen information and changed my account information. I was told by the agent this was being taken care of and apologized. 
Then three months ago, I received a letter from the credit bureau saying my credit was being critically damaged by Goldman XXXX attempting to collect the fraudulent balance. Every month you further damage my credit. This needs to be rectified immediately. 
I have called Goldman XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) different times to resolve this issue. Multiple customer representatives have assured me that I am not responsible for these fraudulent charges and that they will be removed. Still to this date, there has been no resolution. 
Still till this day, you have the identity theft individuals email on my statements instead of mine. Never once has an agent reached out to me via email or phone. 

My credit is ruined and they could not care less.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I turned in my lease with Ally Bank ( auto ) in late XXXX, early XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and leased a new XXXX with XXXX XXXX. Upon turning in my lease there was a disposition fee I wasnt aware of, and the dealership where I returned the vehicle and got a new one did not take care of this fee. I was made aware of it via email and I took a settlement that was offered for this fee not realizing this would be reported to credit bureaus as a charge off over a fee I didnt even realize was something I needed to take care of. This fee was {$390.00} of which I paid {$230.00}. I would have paid it in full if I realized this would be reported negatively to credit bureaus as a charge off. This has completely ruined my credit taking it from above an XXXX to below a XXXX. I have called since XXXX of this year to get this resolved and still havent got anywhere. I have offered to pay the {$150.00} difference to get this removed from my credit report. They have told me that they can open the account back up and I can pay the difference for the fee ( {$150.00} ), but they wont stop reporting the charge off. Thats wrong and terrible business practices. I am so on top of my credit and Ive never even had a late payment. My credit and livelihood are being ruined over some fee that Ive never experienced before when leasing a vehicle and Ive had 3 leases so far. This is ridiculous and needs to be resolved.
