Complaint narrative:
Our home mortgage was with XXXX when I experienced a job loss due to COVID19 Pandemic. At that time XXXX approved our forbearance status beginning in XX/XX/2020. When our mortgage was acquired from XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX reported our mortgage to the Credit Bureaus as being over 180 delinquent - even though we were in an authorized forbearance program. With that erroneous report, my credit score dropped from XXXX to under XXXX. I have contacted XXXX multiple times asking them to correct THEIR mistake and report to the Credit Bureaus that the delinquent report they they sent was not accurate. The customer service team members at XXXX agreed that XXXX should not have reported us as being delinquent, made notes on our account, and sent a request with notes to the authorized department to fix the mistake. After " elevating '' the request multiple times, XXXX has yet to take responsibility for their mistake and make corrective actions- including reporting to the Credit Bureaus that they mistakenly reported us as delinquent. The result of this mistake and lack of action to correct it has decreased my borrowing ability and substantially increased my cost to borrow money. I am filing this complaint with CFPB to have a public record of my grievance and to hopefully compel XXXX to do the right and ethical thing to correct their mistake and restore my credit and good name.

Complaint narrative:
I needed to cancel a cruise and airfare for medical reasons and I had purchased travel insurance. On XX/XX/year>, I thought the number I was calling was XXXX XXXX XXXX to cancel my cruise and airfare. I didnt realize I was not talking to XXXX when I called XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX who represented himself as a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I had travel insurance through XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX told by XXXX that because it was so close to sailing time our trip insurance had expired and that there was an {$1100.00} fee each for us to cancel. I thought it was outrageous but I put {$2200.00} on my Capital One card. When XXXX XXXX requested a photograph of my credit card, I became suspicious and concerned. I then checked to make sure the {$2200.00} payment was going to XXXX and when I checked my credit card online, saw that the payment was going to XXXX XXXX XXXX and not XXXX. I had never heard of XXXX XXXX XXXX and when I XXXX  it, found out it had a very shady reputation. This is when I called Capital One to cancel my Capital One credit card. Then, finding the legitimate XXXX number, I was able to cancel our cruise, contrary to the erroneous information given by XXXX XXXX, our trip insurance was honored. I had no more contact with XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX. The last contact I had with XXXX XXXX was when he asked me to provide him with a valid government ID with a clear address on it. I sent all documentation to Capital One to dispute the {$2200.00} charge and Capital One denied the claim.

I'm frustrated by the lack of change despite my repeated attempts to dispute this issue. It seems to me that your company doesn't prioritize consumer concerns.

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.

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.

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!

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting my intent to sue for the record as Equifax is in willful violation of federal law and in non compliance of FCRA 605B. Equifax is refusing to remove an account ( XXXX XXXX ) that is the result of Identity theft. I have provided all identifying documentation, reported the theft to the FTC and provided Equifax with an affidavit of fraud from the police department. I am seeking the immediate removal and blocking of this account from my credit profile. Equifax has shown no evidence that any of the following are true that I 1. The request to block information was based on a material misrepresentation 2. knowingly obtained or should have known that you obtained possession of goods, services, or moneys as a result of the blocked transaction or transactions. nor have I 3. agreed in writing that a block was made in error. A key provision in FCRA 605B is that a Credit Reporting Agency such as Equifax SHOULD NOT be investigating consumer cases of identity theft. Also conducting an investigation of the furnisher 's reporting is not part of the identity theft blocking process, and is not basis for denying the block under section 605B. If this derogatory information is not removed immediately I have no other option other than to will seek punitive damages per FCRA 616.
