Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
writing to formally complain about the unauthorized accounts that appear on my credit report, which were initiated without my explicit consent. Despite my multiple attempts to resolve this matter over the past XXXX months, starting in XXXX, I have yet to receive a response or resolution from your company. This inaction is a violation of my rights under both federal and state law. Legal Basis for the Complaint : 73 P.S. 201-1 to 201-9.2 : Under Pennsylvanias Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, any contract or financial agreement must be supported by clear evidence of debt and a copy of the contract. The accounts and inquiries listed on my credit report do not meet these requirements, as no proof of debt or contract has been provided. Federal Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : According to the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or unauthorized information on my credit report. I have done so, and no documentation supporting the legitimacy of these accounts and inquiries has been provided within the required time frame. Failure to provide such documentation within seven days from the submission of my dispute necessitates the immediate blocking and removal of these items from my credit report. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : TILA mandates transparency in all credit-related transactions. The lack of response and failure to provide requested information on these unauthorized accounts and inquiries breaches this requirement. Police Report : As required by the aforementioned regulations, I have attached a copy of the police report I filed to substantiate the fraudulent nature of these accounts and inquiries. Request for Immediate Action : I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and remove all unauthorized accounts from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX 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 to be removed/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.

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!

Letter to Capital XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) XXXX ole XXXX XXXX XXXX, TN XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Re : Account Number [ XXXX ] Request for Pay-for-Delete & Goodwill Adjustment under FCRA To Whom It May Concern, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request a pay-for-delete arrangement or a goodwill adjustment for the late payments that have been reported on my credit file in connection with the above-referenced account. Due to temporary financial difficulties, I was unable to meet my payment obligations during the relevant period. However, I am now in a position to resolve this matter fully. 

In accordance with Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I recognize your obligation to report accurate information to the credit bureaus. Nevertheless, the law also allows creditors the discretion to update or remove negative reporting, even if the information was accurate at the time it was reported. As such, I kindly request that you consider removing the late payments from my credit report as a goodwill adjustment, given my history as a loyal customer and my current willingness to pay the balance in full or agree to a payment plan.

Furthermore, Section 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) of the FCRA outlines your ability to notify the consumer ( myself ) if negative credit information is being reported. However, nothing in the statute prohibits your ability to assist a customer by removing such information as a measure of goodwill. This is particularly relevant in cases where the customer is working in good faith to resolve the balance. 

As an expression of my commitment to resolving this matter, I am prepared to pay the balance in full or negotiate a mutually beneficial payment plan. In exchange, I request that you remove the late payments from my credit report with the credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  ). This would not only help improve my credit standing but also demonstrate XXXXXXXX XXXX  or XXXX  dedication to positive customer relationships. 

I believe that this arrangement is in both our best interests, and I look forward to your favorable response. Please let me know how we can proceed to resolve this matter efficiently. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally address several frustrating issues I have encountered with my Apple Pay virtual account, particularly regarding a recent interest charge of {$190.00}. 

According to the notification I received, this charge was applied because my entire monthly balance for XXXX and XXXX was not paid in full by their due dates. However, I changed my payment plan in XX/XX/year> from full balance of amount due by due date to minimum payment of amount due by due date. Since making this change, I have consistently paid the minimum amount due before the due dates, ensuring that I would not incur any interest charges. 

Additionally, I have experienced significant complications with my Apple Pay transactions while traveling abroad. In a major incident earlier this year, I made a full payment in advance, but the Apple system did not capture it, resulting in a double deduction from my account. When I reached out to Apple Pay support via iMessage, the agent was unable to reverse the second charge and advised me to revoke it through my bank, XXXX. This action caused a hold on all my future early payments, severely impacting my ability to manage my finances. As a consequence, I was stranded abroad without the funds needed to pay my XXXX on time. 

Since switching to the minimum payment plan, I have not received any notifications about interest charges or late payments, as Apple Wallet indicated that my scheduled payments would be skipped if I had already made the minimum payment. This conflicting information has added to my frustration and made it increasingly difficult to manage my finances effectively.

Given the ongoing issues, the unexpected interest charge, and the stress this has caused, I am requesting compensation for the difficulties I have faced while using Apple Pay. This situation is not isolated, and I believe that appropriate action should be taken to address the inconvenience caused.

I look forward to your prompt response to this matter and hope for a resolution that reflects the seriousness of the issues I have encountered.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
