Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. 


XXXX EXPERIAN 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have been a customer of Chime for quite some time and have generally found their services to be excellent. However, I recently experienced a significant issue that I believe requires attention. 

There appears to be a glitch in the system that resulted in a charge of approximately {$3500.00} on my credit builder account. When I initially opened this account, I was informed that there would be no fees involved and that overdrafts would not be possible. I utilized a feature called " XXXX XXXX '' to help build my credit, which was marketed as a no-fee service, similar to the credit builder account. 

Unfortunately, I have recently received notifications of charges that seem to be for this credit builder account. Upon contacting customer support for clarification, I was advised that I should have activated the " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' option in order to manage the debt. However, the payments were being deducted from my paycheck through the XXXX XXXX feature, which I did not expect to lead to this situation. 

The customer service representatives informed me that there was no resolution available and that I needed to contact my credit card company instead. Additionally, my credit builder account was shut down without prior warning, leaving me without a physical card for transactions, such as refueling my vehicle. 

This experience has put me in a challenging position, as I have always found Chime to be a dependable banking option until this incident. It is concerning that I was unable to receive support from representatives who could offer assistance, and the lack of transparency regarding account balances has contributed to my frustration. I hope this issue can be addressed effectively to prevent similar situations for other customers in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Currently, there is no functionality within the app or online platform that allows users to verify their account balance. Instead, users receive periodic emails stating the amount they own, which appears to increase even during periods of inactivity. This lack of transparency can be concerning and may warrant further investigation to enhance user experience.
