Complaint narrative:
I have already disputed these items directly with the credit bureaus. Despite providing complete documentation, the bureau flagrantly failed to conduct a thorough, reasonable reinvestigation as mandated under 15 U.S.C. 1681i. This neglect constitutes a clear violation of federal law designed to protect consumers from erroneous information. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to accurate reporting, and the bureaus are required to investigate and correct or remove any unverifiable information

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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 EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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:
These inaccuracies have caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and its frustrating. Despite my multiple complaints being submitted with documentation, I believe that credit bureaus are in violation. This conduct is not a mere oversightit is a deliberate and reckless violation of federal law. By continuing to report unverifiable information after multiple disputes, the bureaus have demonstrated willful noncompliance under FCRA 1681n. Such willful disregard for statutory obligations exposes them to full statutory damages, punitive damages, and immediate enforcement action. Their pattern of behaviour reflects a conscious choice to ignore consumer rights and therefore demands decisive regulatory intervention and accountability.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
So, I changed my PIN back in XXXX or XXXX, shortly after opening the account, but I forgot my old PIN. I even spoke with someone on the phone to help me. Fast forward to XXXX, and my account was closed shortly after a transfer from my connected bank. I called and asked for the reason, but they said they couldnt tell me. I had to call XXXX times before someone finally told me that my account was closed for suspicion of fraud regarding my identity. 

My real issue is why my account was deemed inactive in XXXX for something that happened in XXXX. That makes no sense to me. Ive never had any issues like this with any bank, and on top of that, I havent received any texts or emails regarding this situation at all, even though XXXX still getting my monthly statements through email. 

Mind you I was supposed to receive a verification letter almost XXXX times since this whole incident, CITI has not sent XXXX piece of mail to my house. I have emailed them my Drivers License, Birth Certificate, Social Security Card, even my original check book and they still are taking MONTHS to verify that I am the owner of the account. 

This is beyond incompetent. The money in the account was supposed to help me with a car purchase, I have been forced to buy XXXX to and from work since them, which have cost me well over {$1000.00} dollars. 

I am a full-time college student, I have seen multiple people dealing with similar issues like mine, it's ridiculous. Every time you call they tell you the same thing, call back in XXXX hours. I don't have time for this.
