Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I tried to change username of credit card ( worried after the latest data breach with XXXX ). 

There was no option to do so in the account. Fortiva advised me to " request forgotten username ''. That only provides you with current username - no option to change it. I then requested they just shut down my access so I could set up account ( like I was doing it for the first time ). They refused. I also asked for them to close accounts - which they refused ( I have $ XXXX balances )- they said it would give new card numbers- but I would be forced to use same access. 

With the data beach and hacks happening all the time - companies should be more sensitive to not only changing passwords- but user names also! I feel like they are inviting me accounts to be hacked. 

Not to mention what about partners/spouses/etc. that know the username and can easily answer password change questions. It seems like Fortiva does not care about that!

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ).

Company: Checkr, Inc
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX. I have been waiting over 35 days for my employment background check through Checkr to be completed for XXXX. 

The original estimated completion date has now changed XXXX times, and the most recent XXXX is XX/XX/XXXX. There has been no meaningful update, and I have been told it is waiting on the court. However, I have received no documentation or confirmation of which court is causing the delay, or what exactly is pending. 

As a result, I have been unable to work or earn income for over a month, and this has created extreme financial hardship. I believe Checkr is not being transparent and is failing to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I am requesting CFPB assistance to investigate this delay and compel Checkr to provide a resolution or a final decision.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN 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. EXPERIAN Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX XXXX 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
