Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( 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 XXXX and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I have been the primary owner of a checking account at Bank of America for approximately the past 22 years. In addition my son is on my account and has been since he XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  There was an issue with his account that he notified me of and he also informed that when he inquired about it was just told his account was being closed or in the process of being closed and Bank of America has the right to close an account at their discretion. 
I later contacted bank of America at which time the representative said she would have to transfer me to the risk department. When I asked about my account I was told that my account was also being closed by association. At this point I spoke with a risk department representative on Friday XXXX who informed that there were several claims on his account ( XXXX ) the bank was in the process of investigating. When I further inquired about why there was no prior notification to us about the situation, she reinforced what had been relayed to my son that an a account can be closed at the banks discretion. After further questioning she informed that she would have to transfer me to the claims department. The representative provided to the risk department phone number and when I attempted to contact them it was a long waiting period and then the department was closed. 
My complaint that the bank failed to inform of the situation and the complaints that were being addressed were at best, questionable. 
My son was able to get further information the next day at a BOA in XXXX, Florida where he currently resides. 
I can further explain my concern as I other BOA customers could experience the same and I do not feel the entire situation was fair us.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report. 

Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against Experian for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the account XXXX with XXXX  XXXX. 
Despite multiple requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, which is in violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting on my account suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files, which has not been upheld in my case.

TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The incorrect reporting of late payments has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness and credit score, thereby violating my consumer rights under TILA.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) This act further reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, ensuring that consumers are not unfairly penalized. The discrepancies in the reporting of my payment history suggest that this obligation was not met by the creditor, leading to significant harm to my credit standing. 
Evidence of Errors in Payment Reporting For the account with XXXX  XXXX, the following discrepancies have been observed across the credit bureaus : Experian : The account inaccurately reflects XXXX XXXX late payments in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, despite timely payments being made. 
Pattern of Inaccuracies The continued incorrect reporting of late payments across XXXX, Experian, and XXXX reflects a pattern of inaccuracies. These late payments have been falsely reported despite my payments being made on time and my account being in good standing. 
Request for XXXX Correction I am formally requesting that these inaccuracies be corrected and that the incorrect late payment notations be removed from my credit report. The information should be updated to accurately reflect my payment history, which has been on-time. If this issue is not resolved within 30 days, I will escalate my complaint further, including legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant regulatory agencies to protect my consumer rights. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the removal of these inaccurate entries. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) regarding an account allegedly purchased from XXXX XXXX in XXXX. My primary concern is that the debt validation provided by XXXX lacks sufficient detail and fails to address key questions about its accuracy. The records they provided do not adequately demonstrate a legitimate transfer of the debt, nor do they clearly show how the amount owed was calculated. This lack of transparency has made it difficult to trust the validity of the claim. 

Additionally, XXXX  initial notification process was flawed. They claim to have sent me a letter in XX/XX/year>, but I never received it. This has created confusion and prevented me from disputing the debt within the initial timeline, which I believe XXXX have adversely impacted my rights and credit standing. As a result, this unresolved debt has been reported to credit agencies, causing significant harm to my XXXX XXXX and overall financial well-being. 

Another major issue has been the inconsistency in reporting. All three major credit XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnionhad previously deleted this item from my credit report, only to re-add it later. This repeated re-adding has caused considerable damage to my credit score, created additional stress, and made it difficult to trust the accuracy of XXXX  claim. This action by the credit bureaus, presumably based on information provided by XXXX, raises further questions about the validity and handling of this debt. 

I am asking XXXX to provide more thorough documentation, including the accounts history of charges and payments, and to verify the precise legal ownership of the debt. I also request that XXXX cease all reporting to credit bureaus until these issues are fully addressed, as their current documentation is insufficient and has not answered my concerns. I believe a fair resolution would include a clear and transparent accounting of this debt, along with the removal of any inaccurate information impacting my credit.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I had unauthorized charges on my Wells Fargo credit card so often that I had requested and had my card replaced 3-4 times in a 6 month period. In fact the last time I received a replacement Wells Fargo credit card, I did not activate the new card and still had unknown unauthorized charges applied. I told fraud people it had to be someone inside Wells Fargo. 
All those fraud claims I made and new cards issued, I believe caused Wells Fargo to increase my card interest rate.
