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

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX  days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX 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

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
This morning, I was completely taken aback to see inaccurate accounts listed on my credit report, and I have no idea how this happened. I check my credit report regularly, and this time there were errors that I never saw before. I even refreshed my browser thinking it might be a technical error, but the mistakes didnt go away. I need the documents Ive submitted to be carefully examined so I dont have to live with this worry again.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made a mobile deposit into my Citibank checking account in the amountof XXXX. The deposit was made without issue. Funds were not available immediately. 
XX/XX/XXXX I received a notification that the deposit was accepted but then I was no longer able to get into the mobile app or log into on the website. 
XX/XX/XXXX I first called customer service and was told they were having issues with the app and site but the funds were still not available. 
XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX again. Now the funds were available in my account but I received a letter in the mail saying they decided to close my account because of suspected fraud. This check is a pension check from the union that's been cashed every month since XXXX at the same time each month. 
I have talked to multiple people at the customer service, security and fraud depts. I've gotten nothing from anyone because after I finally was able after 4 days to verify my identity they said I needed to have someone from the issuers office call citibank to verify it was valid. 
I am the fulltime caregiver from my XXXX mother which whom I have full power of attorney. And I have never had any issues with cashing it. The check is endorsed by both her and I. Also, I am a single mom of XXXX XXXX XXXX and that money is detrimental to Us. I've had to borrow money to keep our utilities on. This has caused our family so much trouble and unjustified pain and my children shouldn't have to suffer for something that is completely unlawful for them to be doing

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, URGENT REQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF INACCURATE EVICTION ATTEMPTS I am writing to urgently dispute and demand the removal of eviction attempts from XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX that are inaccurately reported on my credit file. I have never been evicted from any property, and these entries are entirely false. These erroneous eviction attempts are putting me at immediate risk of not being able to secure housing and are causing undue emotional distress. Landlords are reviewing this incorrect information and making decisions based on false records, severely hindering my ability to find a new home. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, I am entitled to have only accurate and verifiable information on my credit report. Section 611 of the FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies investigate disputed information and delete any unverifiable, inaccurate, or incomplete entries within 30 days. However, due to the urgency of my housing situation, I am demanding that you correct these false eviction attempts within 3 days. Additionally, under the Fair Housing Act ( 42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq. ), landlords and property managers may deny housing based on incorrect eviction information, which constitutes a barrier to fair housing access. This misinformation is subjecting me to housing discrimination, violating my rights under federal law. Moreover, I bring your attention to the penalties outlined under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regulations. Failure to promptly address inaccurate information can result in civil liability for willful noncompliance, as per 15 U.S.C. 1681n, and negligent noncompliance, under 15 U.S.C. 1681o. You are required by law to maintain accurate information, and continued reporting of these false eviction attempts is both a breach of your legal obligations and a serious detriment to my rights. Below are the specific details of the inaccuracies : Property 1 : XXXX XXXX Property 2 : XXXX XXXX  Dates of Alleged Eviction Attempts : [ Insert date or date range, if known ] I have attached documentation confirming that I have never been evicted. I request that these inaccurate eviction attempts be removed from my credit report within 3 days of receipt of this letter. Failure to do so may leave me with no option but to escalate this matter with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursue further legal action under the FCRA. Upon completion of your investigation and removal of these erroneous entries, please send me a copy of my updated credit report showing these corrections. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter. I expect your prompt response and resolution. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

My car was involved in a XXXX XXXX  and my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX is attempting to get title to the vehicle, as it is in their possession ( it is deemed a XXXX  Loss ). 

Fast forward to XXXX picking up the car only to find out Southeast Toyota Finance had a lien on my title! Southeast Toyota Finance should be ashamed- this is absurd, preposterous, and acting in BAD FAITH! 

My loan was paid in full per the letter dated XX/XX/XXXX : RE : Account Number XXXX Vehicle Description : XXXX XXXX XXXX VIN : XXXX It reads : Dear XXXX XXXX, This letter serves as verification that the account listed above is paid in full, subject to verification of funds. The state of XXXX Department XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX has been notified that we have released our XXXX against the Motor Vehicle.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX i filed for forbearance due to divorce. No forbearance payments were missed. As of XX/XX/XXXX they stated that i owed XXXX $ plus my current payment to continue. my divorce ended and they gave me scenarios to add remaining balance to end of the loan which would not be due until XX/XX/XXXX. They have since reported delinquency of 120 days. They clearly stated that this option would 100 % not affect credit and mot normal payment would resume XX/XX/XXXX. There was NO payment for XXXX. But the previous conversation had me pay an extra XXXX $ to make sure i wasnt delinquent. This exact thing has happened all over to people. My credit score dropped by XXXX points in 1 day. I was told the remaining balance would be added to end of the loan and this would NOT be reported along with forbearance that would not be reported. The house has been sold and XXXX made whole, no idea why they went against their word.
