Complaint narrative:
This debt collector has done inexcusable practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They have furnished this account that we did not agree on and didn't sign a agreement on.

According to the FDCPA, I'm entitled to compensation for these violations, and they have violated my rights and abused my privileges. Please remove this account from my credit report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and 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 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!

Product: Mortgage — Other type of mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Delays with the closing process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I truly feel that Citibank is involved in redlining. From the time I began the mortgage process in XXXX, XXXX  there was a never ending change in requirements, documentation needed, duplicate requests for information, and inconsistency. Although I closed on the mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX, approximately half hour prior to closing I was informed that the underwriter miscalculated closing costs and I would need to bring an additional {$1900.00} to the closing. Citibank did not timely wire the funds to the title company on the day of closing, so while I closed on the XXXX, I was not able to pickup my keys until the XXXX. I therefore paid additional HOA fees for the time without access to my condo. I was initially set to close on XX/XX/2024. 

I have several email chains requesting updates and full clarification on what type of documents were needed. Underwriters changed, processors never communicated verbally to provide context for the information sought. It was a horrible experience. I would encourage the CFPB to investigate Citibank mortgage lending processes in historically underrepresented communities. My conversations with other suggests that unfortunately my experience was not unique and that Citi engages in discriminatory redlining practices

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them
