I called the number on the back of my new Capital One/Kohls card XXXX I told them I was shocked to discover an outstanding balance. Don't know why but I have not gotten Kohls statements in the mail. The man agreed to take of one of two late charges ( {$35.00}? and {$40.00} ). I asked to speak to a supervisor who ( 45 min call short ) said he could not remove another charge. I spoke to a bankruptcy attorney and he suggested I try to work out a plan with my creditors before filing. I called them back and was told they can't remove any of the late charges. I told them that I have been sick for months and that I only get social security. I told them I want to pay what is legitimately owed them for purchases but I can't afford late charges. I asked them to remove the late charges so I can pay the balance. They refused. About a month went by and I was advised to talk to Capital One instead of Kohls. But every time I call I get Kohls Collection. I talked to them yesterday and said I don't even have statements so they emailed them to me. I am XXXX XXXX  old and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and feel that I am being penalized with late charges due to lack of communication and poor customer service.

Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit Management reported a collection account to XXXX  on XX/XX/year>, with a balance of {$5500.00}. I dispute the validity of this debt and have not received the legally required validation. This reporting constitutes multiple violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( a ) Midland failed to provide a written validation notice within 5 days of the initial communication, including the amount of the debt and the name of the creditor.

15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) I disputed the debt in writing, and they continued to report the debt without first providing verification, which is a direct violation.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Citi is my only credit card that will not send me paper statements. They miss sending statements then charge me interest & late fees because I didn't make a payment. They did not send a statement in XX/XX/XXXX then I received an XXXX statement with late fees and interest for my XXXX XXXX XXXX. The same thing happened earlier with my Citi XXXX XXXX XXXX  Card. I did not receive my XX/XX/XXXX XXXX then was charged late fee & interest when I received the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. When I call to complain their reply is that they have sent the statements & it must be a mail carrier issue. There is no problem with my mail delivery as I get other credit card statements & mail just fine. I charge a lot especially to the Citi XXXX XXXX Card because I get XXXX % back for these charges. I pay the card off every month so I guess this is the only way Citi is able to make money off me.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

" I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
