Consumer complaint received 2025-05-23 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I paid {$450.00} toward my Acima  lease as part of their early payoff option. I was told by a representative named XXXX that I had a remaining balance of {$48.00} to close the account. I paid the {$48.00} as instructed, totaling {$490.00}. Later, Acima claimed I still owed money and said there had been failed payments. 

Despite this, I made a final payment of {$52.00} ( which includes tax ) on XX/XX/year>, through their official portal. This amount matches the total the supervisor said was needed to close the account. 

However, Acima still refuses to close the account, insists I owe more, and continues to delay resolution. I have chat transcripts, a payment confirmation, and call recordings proving I followed their reps instructions. Their own internal notes confirm their agent made a mistake. 

I am being charged again despite having paid the full amount quoted and authorized. This is a deceptive billing practice. Acima is attempting to collect money I do not owe, and has failed to provide a clear resolution after multiple contacts.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint in regard to a missed payment reported by XXXX on my credit report dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, for account number XXXX and XXXX. 

The payment was marked as late due to miscommunication, processing error and I believe the reporting is either inaccurate or does not reflect my overall payment history or current account status. 

I contacted the creditor to request a goodwill adjustment and removal of the missed payment, as my account has since been brought current and has remained in good standing. However, my request was denied, and I feel this negative mark is unjust and disproportionately damaging to my credit standing. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in having this negative item removed, or that the creditor be encouraged to issue a goodwill adjustment based on my payment history and customer relationship. 

Thank you for your assistants

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was reviewing my credit card statement earlier in XXXX, around the XXXX or XXXX, when I noticed my outstanding balance was over a XXXX dollars ( {$1200.00} to be exact ). I never utilize over XXXX % of my credit limit, which is {$2400.00}, so my balance never surpasses $ XXXX {$850.00}. I scrolled through the transactions and noticed an outdoors/hunting store called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in Tennessee had charged my card for {$500.00}. I have never been in TN, nor do I shop at these sorts of stores. I disputed the transaction immediately and closed my card down for safety. However, Chase did not get back to me regarding my disputed transaction. I am submitting a report through here so that I stand a chance to have Chase rectify the situation.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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.

EQUIFAX 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!
