State: AR

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX 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. 


EQUIFAX XXXX 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Tuesday XX/XX/year> XXXX of my accounts had multiple duplicate debits and credits! I called the bank. I was told not to worry I wouldn't be charged for any fees since it was a bank error. Later that day I checked my accounts. The Bank deleted removed all transactions from the XXXX. Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX all transactions were back in different order with no duplicate transactions but had many fees.. Later that day I checked my accounts. This time everything was removed deleted from Monday XX/XX/XXXX. Thursday XX/XX/XXXX all transactions were back in different order with no duplicate transactions but had more fees. I went to the bank not to make a deposit. I was scared to, didn't know what was going on with my accounts. I talked to the teller. I was told nothing could be done until the bank manager came back from vacation. I thought that was also odd. A corporate bank has no one else that could explain and or fix the problems. Today XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX went back to the back. The manager was back from vacation. Yes, I waited a week to make any cash deposits and I only wrote checks that I had to. So I put my business on hold which was extremely in convent. I was told today the only day the bank had a problem was on XX/XX/year>. I emailed the screenshots from the XXXX to send to corporate. Now I wait again for an answer if I get one.

Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is not a duplicate. This is a new complaint based on continued issues with newly purchased card. Gift card was purchased on XX/XX/year> and attempts to make purchases were made on XX/XX/year>. Upon use of the card ending in XXXX, transactions were blocked at the merchant and subsequent merchants. It has been determined that there is a systematic scheme in place to purposefully deny use of the cards. I have attempted numerous times to use the card and resolve its issues with Incomm but to no avail. Incomm tells me to use the card at another merchant despite my attempts at different merchants. If a purchase attempt was at a specific merchant, why would one try to use it at another merchant? For example, if I was looking to pay my electric bill with the gift card, why would the solution be to NOT pay the electric bill and pay different merchant? Why am I not allowed to pay my electric company? This same issue is present with previous cards purchased. So instead of more replacement cards, I am respectfully requesting that a check with the purchase fee be sent to my address. Attached is copy of the receipt of the gift card purchase and the gift card itself.
