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

Complaint narrative:
My account 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.

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:
" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have received multiple American Express prepaid cards. The cards have a number and expiration date, but do not have a name or zip code associated with them. When attempting to make online purchases the card is declined every time as the merchant can not verify name and zip code. 

Customer support continually asserts that I simply need to find a merchant who doesn't require my name and zip code to verify. I know of no reputable merchants that accept payments without verification. The card can not be used in person as it is digital only. 

At this point I'm going to lose all of the value to the {$3.00} a month fee because I can not use the card anywhere. The cards are a scam.

Company: Selene Holdings LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My monthly mortgage was {$2400.00}. I was approved for a Loan Modification changing my monthly mortgage to {$1900.00} with XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I made all my trial period payments on time for XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. My mortgage account was transferred to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX XXXX who informed me that XXXX would pick up where XXXX XXXX left off in the process, which is to send me an acceptance letter and start my monthly payments of {$1900.00} per month. I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and was told I needed to submit documentation to them so that they can speak with me about this account ( I am the executor of estate for my deceased mother ). I did this so that I could communicate with representatives for XXXX. When I explained that I was in the process of a loan modification XXXX told me they were still waiting for all the files to be sent from XXXX XXXX to XXXX. I have been calling XXXX for 11 months with no solution to my issue. XXXX told me to submit a new loan modification to them. I did only to receive an acceptance stating my new monthly mortgage is going to be {$2700.00} per month. If I could not afford a {$2400.00} monthly mortgage what makes them think I can afford a monthly mortgage of {$2700.00}.
