Complaint narrative:
Target Red Card late fees are inconsistent. They usually charge a late fee equivalent to your minimum required payment. I hold a balance high limit of {$200.00}. My minimum payments range from {$29.00} to {$41.00}. I have had the following late fees charged : XX/XX/XXXX {$30.00}, XX/XX/XXXX {$41.00}, XX/XX/XXXX {$30.00} ( Refunded ), XX/XX/XXXX {$34.00}, XX/XX/XXXX {$30.00}. I find their late fee practice inconsistent and abusive. It usually as it usually means that on average its 20 % late fee. I don't object to a late fee if I'm late, just something reasonable. I have as of my last statement moved the due date on this card from the XXXX of the month to the XXXX. Going forward it will be more in alignment with my income and I have recently paid off ALL of my revolving debt leaving only small balances from Christmas purchases in which I took advantage of credit card perks to make the purchases and liquidate those small balances in XXXX.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX 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 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:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
