Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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 EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: WLCC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
After losing my job unexpectedly, I contacted Enable Loans to request a hardship resolution and propose a reasonable one-time settlement. I provided my termination letter per their representative XXXX XXXX request. Despite this, another rep ( XXXX XXXX ) responded dismissively, ignored the documentation, and demanded a lump sum that I clearly could not afford. I followed up again and reiterated my financial hardship, but Enable has continued to delay, ignore key facts, and fail to provide any good faith resolution.

I also revoked ACH authorization in writing, yet I still received a text warning me of a " past due '' balance even after a successful recent payment. Their communication has been contradictory and unhelpful, and they have failed to treat my hardship request seriously. I am now being penalized simply for asking for help and trying to work something out.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Between XXXX and XX/XX/year>, I initiated eight cash-out transfers from my Cash App account to my XXXX XXXX  accounts ending in XXXX and XXXX. The total amount was {$5200.00}. Each time, Cash App debited my balance, but the funds never posted to XXXX. 



I requested records from XXXX. They confirmed no matching deposits or PC Transfer Credits exist. I also requested transaction IDs and settlement records from Cash App. Cash App could not provide transaction IDs, and the official Cash App XXXX export does not contain any record of these transfers, even though my balance decreased. 



These transfers were never refunded to my Cash App balance, never credited to XXXX, and are missing from Cash Apps own export. This proves the funds were taken but not delivered. 



I am requesting : A full investigation of these missing transfers.

Reimbursement of the {$5200.00} in missing funds.

Reimbursement of any fees Cash App may have charged on these failed transfers.

This complaint is made under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq. ), which requires prompt investigation, written findings, and reimbursement when transfers fail.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Several accounts on my credit reports have been reported with serious errors that continue to harm my credit standing. For example, between XXXX and XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX reported charge-offs with balances of \ {$540.00}, \ {$540.00}, and \ {$730.00}, even though these accounts were closed and disputes were previously filed, but the companies marked them as resolved without providing proper validation. XXXX and XXXX XXXX accounts were canceled years ago by the grantors, yet they are still showing derogatory remarks, which is outdated and misleading. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX began reporting a \ {$240.00} collection account tied to XXXX, but no evidence or contract has ever been provided to prove the validity of this debt. Additionally, throughout XXXX and XXXX, multiple unauthorized hard inquiries from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  appeared on my file, which I did not approve. On top of this, my reports show inaccurate personal information, including outdated addresses and name variations that do not belong to me. Despite previous disputes, these items remain, and the companies have failed to provide documentation to verify them, which is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

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.

Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency.

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo was misleading and took my money for an appraisal then declined my loan. I had an opportunity to start a new job, I reached out to mortgage person, XXXX and was informed it would be no problem. I provided all necessary documents that were requested. Last week I received a letter that my mortgage application was declined due to not enough time in current job. This is insane, misleading and Wells Fargo needs to reimburse me for the appraisal and credit check. Why did you run my credit if I was going to declined anyway? Just crazy to me, I dont understand, Ive been a long standing customer of Wells Fargo and to be mislead is just not ok. I will happy supply any information needed. I was told to go to another leader, a friend of theirs even.

Company: INTEGRAL RECOVERIES, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
XXXX ( last name unknown ) called me from XXXX, identifying himself as a debt collector attempting to collect a debt. He referenced that I had previously canceled a payment plan due to loss of employment and asked if my financial situation had changed so I could resume payments. I explained that I am still unemployed and unable to make payments at this time. 

During this conversation, XXXX stated that they could attempt to collect the debt in other ways. When I asked what those methods were, he responded that he was not allowed to disclose this information. 

This left me feeling misled and pressured, as the phrase other ways implied potential legal or financial consequences ( such as wage garnishment or liens ) without explanation. When I requested clarification, the refusal to provide it created further fear and uncertainty. I believe this type of vague and intimidating language may violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, as it suggests undisclosed actions without providing truthful, transparent information to the consumer.
