Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with Experian 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.

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. 


Experian 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

Complaint narrative:
Re " XXXX Transaction : XX/XX/year> : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - {$3000.00} XX/XX/year> : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$350.00} XX/XX/year> : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$38.00} I found out about the above fraud transaction and reported to American Express back in early XXXX, XXXX. In stead of taking any action against it, American Express decided to terminate the business relationship with me, denied the fraud claim without a specific evidence and closed my account. I tried to reopen the claim on XX/XX/year> and it was automatically closed the same day without further investigation or giving me a chance to submit more evidence. This is against the consumer right of the US government laws. 

By this complaint, I respectfully request American Express to fulfill the duty of protecting customer from fraud transactions and approve the claim. I also would like to submit additional documents for evidence that the transactions are really fraud transactions. 

I contacted all the merchant and got XXXX responses from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Both of them confirm that the charges are fraud but as the fraud claim is already asserted, they advised me to submit the information to the bank to get the money back. XXXX XXXX XXXX confirmed there is no student associated with the payment and the payment has no relation to me as a card holder. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX also confirmed that on that day, the card was input by the card number and not the actual card by a group of players named XXXX XXXX from XXXX. I live in XXXX which is far away from XXXX. 

The suspect name is XXXX XXXX. 

Please see the attached file for the email from the merchant for the fraud confirmation.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Freedom Mortgage XXXX for their failure to accurately process my XXXX mortgage payment. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX PM, I made my monthly mortgage payment through Freedom Mortgage 's online portal. Despite making the payment before the end of the month, their system erroneously recorded it as being made on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I promptly contacted Freedom Mortgage 's customer service department on XX/XX/XXXX to address this issue. I spoke with multiple representatives, including XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and was escalated to XXXX, XXXX all insisted that the payment was not made in the month of XXXX, but it was. 

Despite the clear evidence and multiple confirmations, Freedom Mortgage has refused to acknowledge that the payment was made on the correct date. They are now threatening to report a 30-day late payment on my credit report, which will have a significant negative impact on my credit score. 

Furthermore, Freedom Mortgage is also reporting rolling 60-day lates from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX. This inaccurate reporting is causing me extreme stress and frustration. 

I believe that Freedom Mortgage 's actions are a clear violation of consumer protection laws. I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to hold Freedom Mortgage accountable for their misconduct. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

XXXX XXXX  Formal Dispute of Charge-Off Account Reporting Associated with Account Number [ Account Number ] Dear [ Credit Reporting Agency/Creditor Name ] , I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of the charge-off account associated with [ Account Number ] on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information ), I am entitled to request and receive complete and accurate documentation to verify the accuracy and legality of this accounts reporting. 
Additionally, under [ Your State ] law, I am requesting proper validation of this debt. 
To properly validate this account, I am requesting the following : 1. Authenticated Double-Entry Accounting Records : I am requesting full double-entry accounting records for the account mentioned. This should include a detailed breakdown that shows how all transactions were debited and credited, ensuring compliance with standard accounting principles. Please note that I do not wish to receive a simple list of charges or statements. I expect authenticated evidence of the debt.

2. Authenticated Evidence Based on [ Your State ] Law : In addition to the accounting records, I require authenticated evidence, in compliance with [ Your State ] debt collection laws, that you have the legal right to report and collect this debt. This includes original signed contracts or agreements that show my obligation to pay the debt and your legal right to enforce collection and report it to credit bureaus.

Without this evidence, the continued reporting of this debt may constitute a violation of both federal and state consumer protection laws.

3. 1099-C Form : If this debt has been forgiven, canceled, or settled for less than the full balance, I am requesting a copy of the 1099-C form filed with the IRS, which is required if the amount of canceled debt exceeds {$600.00}. If you have not provided this documentation, the debt may be considered discharged, and it should no longer be reported as owed on my credit report. 
In the absence of the requested documentation and verifiable evidence, I request that you immediately delete this account from my credit report in compliance with the FCRA and [ Your State ] state law. Failure to do so will result in further action, including filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), pursuing legal remedies to enforce my rights, and submitting a Suspicious Activity Report ( SAR ) to the IRS for suspicion of fraud.

The SAR ( FinCEN Form 111 ) will be filed if you continue reporting inaccurate and unverified information without providing the required documentation. 
Please respond within 30 days of receipt of this letter. I look forward to receiving the required

My car got repossessed bc I could not pay my car insurance due to my funds not being available. They denied my request after giving all the information provided. They didnt try to get to the bottom of it and just closed my claim and said its final. It doesnt matter if they dont feel like it was a direct cause from the funds not being available, it my insurance was {$1.00} off of payment they wouldnt except it. I think it is unfair and unjust to end it so abruptly. Its was opened XX/XX/year> and they didnt even investigate. My car lender required the remaining balance on my car after the repossession which was {$5100.00}. Bank of America thinks I owed a {$5000.00} balance and that was not the cause. It was insurance lapse which caused the $ XXXX balance
