Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX 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 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. 


EQUIFAX 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!

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : The payment was submitted well before the due date of XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached bank statements and payment confirmation as evidence that my payment was made on time. 
Despite the timely payment, the late payments entry of 30 and 60 days has been inaccurately reported by XXXX, which may have been caused by a clerical error in processing my payment. 
Additionally, there was no notification or communication regarding a late payment, and I received no notice of delinquency from the creditor, further supporting the claim that this was an administrative mistake. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
Less than XXXX weeks ago Kohls credit cards were being issued by Capital One. I received a replacement card XX/XX/year>, but requested it not be activated because it was a Visa card to be used everywhere. I wanted only the store card. I was told that could be but had to be reissued by Capital. I was to contact Kohls store for their credit card, which in turn automatically sent me to Capital One. I wanted to use my current Kolhs for the weekend 40 % off discount. Told I could do that and my card was good until XX/XX/year> and then i would have to request a new one. My store card was cancelled and couldn't be used. Again, they wanted me to activate the Visa card. I called a XXXX time, explained what happened and was told it was Visa card or nothing. I called a XXXX time, XX/XX/year>, the representative supposed took care of it and issuing a new STORE card only. They asked for my ss and other personal information. Next day of XXXX I received notification from XXXX that my SS and personal information is on the dark web. Today, XX/XX/year>, I received XXXX notifications from Capital one congratulating me on my new Visa card. I spoke with 3 people today. One representative stating I was processed incorrectly as a new applicant and she would take care of it, send a cc for Store only and not activate the first new Visa, haven't received the other yet. 

It was after the sixth person did they connect to their fraud customer service in XXXX FL to ask what are they going to do about getting my info on the dark web. Prior to this connection the previous XXXX representatives had no idea where to send me. Asked to speak to a supervisor only to be left on hold for long periods of time and to say no one available. The FL representative gave me XXXX # for ID theft and to request fraud alert. He would straighten out the store credit card with Kohls. I was then hearing prerecorded message from Kohls about their store cc, online, return options. No idea if he did anything. I will wait for the mail to see what arrives. 

Due to Capital One mishandling, I have received at least XXXX emails from XXXX in XXXX FL about a rental contract. I haven't left the state or rented a car in years. Spam or scam, time will tell if they claim I owe them a car.
