Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX EXPERIAN 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. 


XXXX EXPERIAN 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:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by Venmo that my account was suspended. They asked me to provide my ID, which I did. XXXX days later, I received this response : " While we encourage the use of Venmo, we must ensure all users abide by our User Agreement. After reviewing your account, we have found that your actions and activity have been in violation of this agreement. 

As a result, your account has been permanently deactivated and we regret to inform you that we can no longer offer you the Venmo service. We do not make these decisions lightly, and when we do, it is to help ensure that Venmo continues to be a safe way to make payments. '' They have provided no explanation as to what policy I have violated. I read through all the terms and conditions and I haven't broken any laws or rules. Their customer service team will not interact with me. They said I can only interact through the permanent suspension email. I believe my account should be appealed and reinstated, however I can't speak to anyone in regards to this. I've been a customer for over a decade and they just randomly ban my account- this is how I pay my bills and exchange money with friends. I am beyond frustrated that they aren't willing to have a conversation to resolve this.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX sold my mortgage to mr cooper. They are missing or outright not attributing {$200.00} of principal payment I made to XXXX which is resulting in a higher balance than is correct. I submitted a ticket for investigation and the team found no error. My statement below shows what the math error is : " This letter has me utterly perplexed as your research team is either bad at simple arithmetic ( adding and subtracting ) or you're running some kind of racket. Either way I will be submitting a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as you will NOT be scamming me out of {$200.00} I paid to XXXX. 

For your reference : If a starting principal was {$200000.00} And the principal payments made on my end were as follows : - {$5000.00} on XX/XX/year> - {$190.00} on XX/XX/year> and- {$200.00} on XX/XX/year> That is a total of {$5400.00} paid toward the principal This amount less {$200000.00} is {$190000.00}. Your mortgage people have incorrectly attributed my principal balance since you bought it from servebank as {$190000.00} which is EXACTLY {$200.00} short.

Unsure why you all don't understand the very flagrant error you have made. While {$200.00} may be unimportant to you as a mortgagee this amount is significant to me. PLEASE RE-OPEN THIS for investigation and correction. ''
