Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
My account with Experian 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 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.

Experian 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> a good large deposit was put into my checking account. I use another account to pay my rent. Usually I transfer this to the account and pay the fees for immediate transfer. 
This time I could only transfer {$320.00} roughly. I was trying to transfer {$1000.00}. The account did show it had more than enough money to submit the transfer. I waited until XX/XX/year> and could never transfer my money to another account. 
Credit Karma Banking also shut my card down and they never really stated why. I was trying to put money into another account ( not the rent XXXX ) and they would not let it transfer. I called and they said " lets just send you a new card ''. In the meantime my rent got charged a {$50.00} late fee. 
I had the other account auto transfer and was charged a {$35.00} NSF fee. 
Trying to work this out with credit karma customer service they could not give me any answers on why I could not transfer the money. They told me my web card account is active and to use a XXXX part to transfer the money ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX etc ). So I did and it cost me {$17.00} to get the money back on the credit karma card because the other bank will not accept cash app. I had to get a money order by the time my card came. Credit Karma has not clue to why I could not transfer my money and are refusing to cover all these extra cost I have incurred due to their lack of customer service.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Auto Loan Accounts Reported on My Credit Report Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of auto loan accounts that appear on my credit report. These accounts do not belong to me and have been erroneously included in my credit file. The specific details of the disputed accounts are as follows : Creditor/Lender Name XXXX XXXX  Amount Reported : {$21000.00} Creditor/Lender Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Amount Reported : {$10000.00} Nature of Dispute : These auto loan accounts do not belong to me and are being reported in error. 

Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information contained in my credit report, and the credit reporting agency is legally obligated to conduct a thorough and timely reinvestigation of the disputed information within 30 days of receiving this dispute notice. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information they include in consumer reports. 

Given that these auto loan accounts do not belong to me, I demand that you initiate an immediate reinvestigation, contact the original creditor ( s ) for verification, and take corrective action by removing these inaccurate entries from my credit report. I have attached copies of relevant documents, including a copy of my credit report with the disputed information highlighted and a copy of my government-issued identification, to assist you in accurately identifying my account.

In accordance with FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), if the reinvestigation does not substantiate the accuracy of the information, you are required to promptly delete or correct the disputed items. I also request that you provide me with a written response detailing the results of your investigation, along with an updated copy of my credit report once the inaccuracies have been addressed. 

Please be advised that failure to comply with the FCRA 's obligations may result in legal action to enforce my rights and seek any applicable remedies under federal law. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and the correction of my credit report. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
