Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I have identified several discrepancies in how the following accounts are being reported on my credit report across multiple credit bureaus. These discrepancies violate fair credit reporting practices as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I request an immediate investigation and correction of these issues. 

For XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( XXXX Credit Card ) : There was no notice of dispute, violating FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), which requires a notice of dispute to be communicated when an account is disputed by the consumer.

The payment history is inconsistent across the three credit bureaus, violating FCRA Section 607 ( b ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information reported. 
The account has been re-aged, with inconsistent late payment dates across XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, violating FCRA Section 605 ( c ), which sets limits on the re-aging of accounts and the time frame in which negative information can be reported. 
For XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Credit Card ) : The account has been re-aged, violating FCRA Section 605 ( c ), which restricts the re-aging of accounts.

There are inconsistencies in the payment history across the credit bureaus, violating FCRA Section 607 ( b ).

The credit limit and high credit amounts reported vary across XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, also violating FCRA Section 607 ( b ) regarding accuracy of information.

I request that the CFPB investigate these reporting discrepancies and work with the credit bureaus and furnishers to correct the inaccuracies. I also ask for re-investigation of the accounts, proper notification of disputes to all three credit bureaus, and an update of the payment history, credit limit, and high credit balance to accurately reflect my account history. 

Please find attached copies of my credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax highlighting the discrepancies, as well as any correspondence related to disputes Ive filed directly with the credit bureaus and creditors.

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

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!

This does not accurately reflect my payment behavior, and the late payment mark should be removed. 
Evidence Provided : Bank statements showing the payment was made according to the information provided. 
Correspondence from XXXX  XXXX acknowledging the communication error.

Company: SLM CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Called fraud department to explain my ex-wife had authorized an increase on a loan that I did not authorize or sign for. Original loan I cosigned on while we was together. 3 months after we split she changed the account to where I wouldn't receive the mail or emails and applied for an increase on the " total loan amount ''. The fraud department let me know they couldn't do anything essentially except change my email and lock the account. The ex-wife is apparently extremely delinquent on these loans ( which I couldn't have know until my credit took a huge hit, because I wasn't receiving any of the mail or emails ).

Complaint narrative:
I sold my car to XXXX in XXXX. They gave me a draft of XXXX. I deposited the check on Saturday XX/XX/year>. When I logged into my account this morning my deposited amount was showing that it would not be available until XX/XX/XXXX. This now has caused my account to be overdrawn. 

I do not understand WHY the funds are put on hold that long when the check is a draft. That is guaranteed funds! The amount of time they are holding my funds is unacceptable. It takes a regular check 24 hours to clear. Why would they hold guaranteed funds so long?

Company: DISCOVER BANK

Complaint narrative:
I lost my phone, which had my wallet attached to it. Including my Driver License, multiple debit and credit cards, XXXX card and other items. Someone found it and began using my cards without my authorization. 

On Sunday XXXX XXXX someone used my debit card from checking account at Discover Bank, at a casino for the amount of {$3600.00}. Immediately after discovering usage on my debit card I contacted discover and began a dispute. They gave me provisional credit, and then several weeks later I received a letter stating my claim had been denied because the merchant provided proof that it was a valid charge. Since I never authorized this transaction, I contacted Discover bank and they sent me the information the merchant was using to claim it was a valid charge. The information they provide was from the XXXX XXXX stating the transaction was done and verified by ID to match the card, I explained to Discover that my entire wallet was lost including my Driver license and that if the merchant didnt verify the debit card and ID belonged to the person using it, then that was not my responsibility. I sent in a statement including all this information and also proof that I had lost my phone and had to purchase a replacement. Discover Bank reopened the investigation and again denied my claim. Once again I called and they used the same phrase, about the debit card and ID name matching so it was a valid charge. They suggested I do a police report to reopen the claim and investigate again, which I did, only to have my claim denied again. They are refusing to show me video or camera surveillance of the person using the card to verify it was not me. I did not make this transaction nor did I authorize it, so I really need help having them investigate properly.

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 "
