Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments on Account XXXX Dear CFPB, I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for account XXXX. Despite multiple requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, violating both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 

Additional Details : The inaccurate late payment notations for XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX have caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and financial opportunities. These errors are preventing me from obtaining favorable loan terms and have resulted in undue stress and inconvenience. 

Discrepancies Identified : High Balance : Reported as {$200.00} Last Verified Date : Not provided. 
Closed Date : Not provided. 
Account Status : Reported as " Closed '' but details differ across sources.

Credit Limit : Reported inconsistently as {$200.00}.

These discrepancies and errors in reporting late payments directly violate the following laws : FCRA 1681i : Failure to ensure accuracy and to investigate disputes properly.

TILA 1666b : Failure to provide periodic statements within the required timeframe.

FCRA 1681e ( b ) : Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of credit report information.

FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) : Furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies.

15 U.S. Code 1692e : Prohibition against false or misleading representations in debt collection. 

Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notations for XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I do not have specific dates for calls other than today XX/XX/year> but Ive called Capital One multiple times regarding the reasoning on why my monthly payments are not reducing my balance. They said that its their policy and if I pay more than the minimum, thats where Ill reduce my balance. So, in essence, Im being punished for using their services and in the meantime, stuck on paying my balance. I told the lady on the phone that I can not afford more than the monthly payment and she said thats just their policy. Its predatory to advertise and market their services and then in turn force the consumer to essentially keep paying them free money and forever not reducing my balance.

They stated that another department handles that and that they will contact us but they never did. We kept sending them emails but they never responded. We finally got ahold of someone and they said the account was in collection. We asked for the name and phone number of the collection company but they said the company will contact us. We were waiting to hear from them but they never called, email or sent mail. My mother was contacted by experian about her credit report being flagged. We got there contact from the credit bureau and paid them on the same day. They have taken the negative report from my moms credit file but have not taken it off from mine. I also it removed from my file

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized transactions that have been charged to my credit card. Below are the details of the issue : On XX/XX/year>, several cash advance transactions were made in XXXX XXXX, California, while I was in XXXX, XXXX. I have bank statements that clearly reflect these transactions, and I can provide additional proof of my location during this time, including travel records and receipts from XXXX. 

Upon discovering these unauthorized transactions, I contacted the Wells Fargo Fraud Department, and I was informed that a claim would be initiated. I was also assured that my old card would be canceled and a new card issued. However, by XX/XX/year>, I noticed that the fraudulent cash advance transactions from my old card still appeared on my new card. 

When I called the fraud department again, I was told that the transactions might have been made using my debit card and PIN number. This is incorrect, as I am in possession of both my debit and credit cards, and I did not authorize or perform any of the disputed transactions. Despite explaining my situation, I was informed that these transactions were attributed to me. 

I followed up again on XX/XX/year>, and received the same response from another representative. I find it extremely concerning and unfair that these transactions are being considered valid despite clear evidence to the contrary. It is disappointing that a bank as reputable as Wells Fargo is unable to protect its customers from this type of fraud. 

I kindly request that you re-investigate this matter thoroughly and reverse the unauthorized charges immediately. Additionally, I ask for a written explanation of the investigation 's outcome and the basis for any decision made. 

I look forward to your prompt response. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
