Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My credit report shows late payments that arent accurate. A billing and reporting error from my bank has unfairly damaged my credit. Under TILA ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), creditors must report payments accurately, yet a payment I made was not properly recorded, leading to an incorrect late mark on my report. Additionally, I was not given the required 21-day notice before the payment was due, making the late mark invalid. Ive asked the credit bureaus to provide proof of these late payments, but they havent given me any real documentation to back up the claim. Because of this, the incorrect information is still on my report, which is hurting my credit score.

Complaint narrative:
Inaccurate Late Payment & Request for Account Removal From : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX Dear CFPB, I am formally disputing a late payment reported on my credit file for the following account : Creditor : XXXX Bank Account Status : Paid & Closed Balance : {$0.00} Opened : XX/XX/year> Closed : XX/XX/year> Reported Late Payments : 1 ( 30 days ) This late payment is inaccurate, unverifiable, and unfairly impacting my credit score. I request that this entire account be deleted for the following reasons : 1. Violation of FCRA 609 Right to Verification If the late payment can not be verified with a signed credit agreement, full payment history, and timestamped records, it must be removed immediately. 
Since this account is fully paid off and closed, any negative reporting should no longer impact my credit. 
2. Violation of FCRA 623 Accuracy of Reporting Inaccurate late payments violate 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ), requiring furnishers to report only correct, complete, and timely information. 
If XXXXXXXX XXXX can not provide direct proof of the late payment with timestamps, it must be removed. 
3. Goodwill Deletion Request ( If Verified ) If the late payment is verified but not an error, I respectfully request a goodwill deletion due to my history of account repayment and closure in good standing. 
Since the account is fully paid off and closed, removing this negative item will not impact the lender negatively. 
Per FCRA regulations, you have 30 days to investigate and correct this matter. If this error can not be verified, the entire account should be removed from my credit report. 

Please provide a written confirmation of the investigation results at my address. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My account with DEPTEDXXXX AND XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX 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 reported in to be removed.

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. 

DEPTEDXXXX AND XXXX 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!

Contents of Complaint : This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Experian credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of a personal credit card account. 

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer FICO credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Barclays Bank, the issuer of the XXXX XXXX, for unjustifiably reducing my credit limit despite consistent, responsible usage. I have never missed a payment, have always paid more than the minimum required, and have continued to pay interest on my revolving balance. Despite this, Barclays reduced my credit limit from {$4500.00} to {$3000.00}, and recently again to {$800.00} all without cause, delinquency, or prior notification. 

Company name : Barclays Bank Delaware Website : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Product : Credit card Type : XXXX XXXX This unilateral action triggered a sharp increase in my credit utilization ratio and directly led to a XXXX drop in my credit score, penalizing me as if I were financially irresponsible, when the opposite is true. I believe this action was taken without a legitimate or lawful reason and without adequate explanation. I have contacted Barclays and received no valid justification. 

This situation has negatively impacted my creditworthiness and misrepresents my risk profile to other lenders. I believe Barclays actions may violate both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) by failing to act fairly, transparently, and without discrimination. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and compel Barclays to either restore my previous credit limit or provide a clear, specific, and verifiable justification for its reductions. I also request that a consumer statement of dispute be allowed on my credit reports to reflect the facts and protect my credit reputation. 

Supporting documentation has been included, including formal dispute letters and relevant account information.
