Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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.

Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector has engaged in practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have reported an account that I did not consent to, and there is no signed agreement from me authorizing it. A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.

Company: CUSTOMERS BANCORP, INC

Complaint narrative:
I had fallen behind in making payments to the loan in question. Customer 's Bank then sent my account to XXXX XXXX XXXX for collections. On XX/XX/year> I entered into a payment plan for the past due amount with XXXX XXXX. The payments began on XX/XX/year>. I also began paying the current amount due {$1000.00} to Customers bank directly beginning in XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, I got a notification that the account had been accelerated and that the total amount was now due. I asked them to review the account since I had a payment plan authorized by their collection agency and at no time was I told that the payment plan was insufficient until after the fact. I questioned why they allow an agency to collect on their behalf and then do not honor the payment agreements made with that agency. Customers Bank is refusing to reinstate my loan and allow me to continue making payments.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and 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. 


EXPERIAN XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have recently reviewed my credit report and found that false information continues to be reported by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. Despite submitting disputes, the credit bureaus have incorrectly verified this information as accurate. I am providing attached documentation that clearly proves these entries are not correct.

Given the proof provided, I request that you immediately remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. Continuing to verify and report false data is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. Please act accordingly to correct this issue and update my report to reflect accurate information only.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Capital One locked my account on XX/XX/XXXX due to suspected fraud. This has since been cleared up. However, on the XXXX, Capital One reported my interim balance to the credit bureaus without my knowledge. My statement closes on the XXXX. Capital One should not have been pre-reporting outside of the standard statement closing cycle, as I pay my balance in full each month. As a result of this, they caused my credit score to drop. A case was filed internally that I have not heard back on but, I am filing this case as my dispute with the credit bureaus just came back as " Not Changed '', meaning that Capital One is standing by their decision to report my balance outside of my statement cycle closing date and without my knowledge and consent.
