Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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. 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.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Narrative ( What Happened ) On XX/XX/year>, I presented a settlement check for deposit at a Chase branch located at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I lawfully endorsed the check and added the notation Deposited XXXX XXXX to preserve my pending legal objections. 

The branch manager XXXX XXXX, then : Demanded that I remove or alter my lawful protest notation. 

Stated that my initials should not have a circle around them. 

Upon my refusal, the bank refused to deposit the item and stamped it as Endorsement Canceled. 

This refusal was not based on any legal deficiency in the instrument or endorsement. Instead, the bank attempted to coerce me to remove my protest notation, which I had the legal right to include. This action caused me direct harm, including delays in receiving settlement funds that I am legally entitled to. 

Additionally, the refusal created further financial hardship : while waiting for proper tender of my settlement funds, I incurred storage late fees, rent + late fees, and other living expenses that I should not have had to cover out of pocket had the check been processed properly.
