Complaint narrative:
Citizens Bank and Im sure many credit card companies have capitalized off of crushing peoples credit through various tactics. This makes it so that they can charge more an interest. What happened to me was I was in the XXXX somebody else was handling my finances. I paid my credit card the minimum amount due it was a day, they were contacted and they explained that they would waive the fee. However they dont actually waive the fee. They just charge it into the next month being that I was in the XXXX  all that is known its a statement in the mail so the next month when they went to go pay the minimum due They were not aware that the minimum also included the late fee that they so-called waived making the amount more. This ended up causing confusion, and therefore only the minimum payment was paid in the amount of whatever the late fee was when 30 days past due, which crushed my credit utilization and crushed my credit score so that now I am stuck under very high interest rates with the inability to move it over to a personal loan should be allowed to do this and my credit should be fixed and I should be reinstated the amount that Ive been paying an interest due to their error and not reporting the amount due every month correctly and trying to hide fees when they say they are waving them it was explained to me after once the damage was done

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Under 15 USC 1681 section 602 of the FCRA, I am entitled to the right to privacy regarding my credit information. The inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report has not only damaged my credit score but has also compromised my financial privacy by revealing false information about my payment history. 

Furthermore, according to 15 USC 1681 section 604a section 2, a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from furnishing an account without my written instructions. In this case, XXXX XXXX reported a late payment without my consent or valid reason, which is a clear violation of this provision. 

Additionally, under 15 USCS 1666b, a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose if it has been made on time. I want to emphasize that I had indeed made the payment on time, and there were no legitimate grounds for XXXX XXXX to categorize it as late.

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On today, XX/XX/2024, I dispute XXXX debt with all credit reporting agencies and to the creditor. They are reporting XXXX debt as though it is new, as of XXXX XXXX, which is effecting my credit report severely. Further, they have not provided validation of this debt. No contracts, or signed documents, or any evidence to establish that this debt belongs to me. Further, they are reporting the wrong amount I presume because I have never owed anyone that amount of money. They also did not properly notify me of who they were. In the reporting agencies, it says that Thus debt was bought from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. But I never owed XXXXXXXX XXXX  this amount of money nor has XXXX XXXX ever reported that amount on my credit report. Further, on my XXXX report. XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX are both attempting to say that I owe a debt. If XXXX account is sold, and this is the account Jefferson claims, they can not report through both parties simultaneously under law. They are breaking multiple laws with my FCRA rights, and going against the guidelines and regulations and laws provided by the FTC and the CFPB. Some of their violations are listed in my evidence.
