I am writing to formally dispute several items on my credit report that are inaccurate and have been reported in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- - ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

According to 15 USC 1666b it is a billing error. I did not receive a statement 21 days before the late payment error. If finance charge included, there should be no late payments pursuant 15 USC 1605 ( a ) due to finance charge bringing the sum of all charges so I can not be penalized for something that is already paid in full.

15 USC 1666b ( 4 ) ( 5 ) - The companys failure to provide statement within 21 days is a violation, please remove late payment ; statement shows positive balance instead of negative which is a billing error and therefore no payment was due ( how can I pay on a positive balance ) Pursuant to 15 USC 1681eb this account is in violation of maximum possible accuracy and 15 USC 1666b for violation of billing error

I have been contacting XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax since XXXX XXXX about the incorrect items on my credit report. I am writing to formally lodge a complaint and request an investigation into the actions of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, pertaining to my credit report. I have recently discovered several discrepancies that I believe to be in violation of consumer protection laws and credit reporting regulations. 

Account Information : Creditor : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Account Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( Equifax ) Date of Last Activity : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( Equifax ) Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( Equifax ) The following issues indicate non-compliance with relevant consumer protection laws and credit reporting guidelines : Last Verified Date Discrepancy : The last verified date on my credit report is stated as XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX, whereas Equifax shows a last verified date of XX/XX/XXXX. This disparity raises concerns about the accuracy and consistency of the information reported by XXXX XXXX, as it suggests that the information has not been consistently and uniformly updated across all credit bureaus, as it should be. This may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates the accuracy, fairness, and consistency of consumer credit reports. 

Date of Last Activity Discrepancy : The date of last activity is significantly different between XXXX and Equifax. This inconsistency is also a red flag, as it implies that the account may not have been properly managed and reported. Such discrepancies may potentially infringe upon the FCRA, which requires creditors to report the most accurate and up-to-date information on consumer credit reports. 

Date Open Discrepancy : The account open date discrepancy between XXXX and Equifax further suggests inaccuracies and inconsistencies in XXXX XXXX 's reporting. This misalignment may hinder a complete and accurate understanding of the account 's history, which is contrary to the FCRA 's stipulations for the fair and accurate reporting of consumer credit information. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate these discrepancies and potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Furthermore, I would appreciate your assistance in addressing and rectifying these issues with XXXX XXXX, XXXX, to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history in accordance with the law. 

Please find enclosed copies of my credit reports from both XXXX and Equifax, highlighting the discrepancies for your reference. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and any guidance on how to proceed in resolving this issue.

Calling the phone number listed on Experian 's site is only for the bot to send one to the website, it is clearly stating NO PERSONNEL is available to speak with. Some of the information on Experian 's site makes no sense. It contains completely false/fake information regarding net worth for instance. Why is it necessary to display a net worth figure when it is so horribly wrong? There is other info that is difficult to make sense of but why is NO ONE available to help? There is also no way to submit a message on the site about what is wrong and should be corrected! 
Greedy CEO, XXXX XXXX, pocketed {$13.00} XXXX in XXXX, but he did not invest in necessary customer support. 
It should be illegal and punishable by law not to be able to speak with someone when it is about someone's credit worthiness. 
The redit reporting agencies are playing with people 's lives.
Product: Mortgage

In XX/XX/XXXX I refinanced my mortgage to save XXXX a month.Since then my life has changed because of an escrow shortage that occurred during the transaction with the title agency that failed to pay a quarterly period of my taxes for the approx. amount of XXXX. This particular loan was originated among many other Companies that handled this predatory loan and was not discovered from me until 6 months after the cycle period came due to me during the process with 3 other banks at that time. At this time my lender Freedom Mortgage has this loan and was supposed to help me by going into a forebarence plan and then getting a loan modification to reduce my monthly payments, because my payments had increased from this misfortune for me. I have been on this plan since XX/XX/XXXX and now being told that the loan modification may not save me money. I have already had 2 so called " point of contacts '' and am becoming very skeptical as this is becoming more serious for me now almost 3 years later..I am making many attempts to resolve issues and have became disabled from the stress, bankrupt and on food stamps. I actually ran out of computer supplies and offered to travel to an office in NJ to complete any paperwork ... I really do not like to complain or get worked up but I desperately need some kind of advice or help from a reliable source. I also did even make an attempt last year to avoid this matter but ended up losing my second home since the cost of a lawyer 's fee would have been beyond reasonable. And I will be damned if this causes me to lose my primary residence. I was recently referred to a company who asked me for money to modify my loan and raised a series of red flags for me and did n't seem like relief programs to me and it seems there is no relief. I can no longer keep up with explaining the hardship something like this can cause and being unable to walk long distances to even fight for my rights has become difficult so if anyone does read this I am only seeking proper relief and the correct source to help take actions.

I have asked every month since XX/XX/2018 via letter for proof of a {$360.00} debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX and have not received one piece of documentation yet each credit reporting agency responds as debt validated. 
I have also requested since XX/XX/2018 via letter the original signed agreement for a {$230.00} XXXX   XXXX debt that all three credit bureaus are reporting and have yet to receive it. They just send me a statement of account which doesnt prove the debt is mine. This XXXX XXXX debt is a secured credit card. Per their customer agreement online, the security deposit should be forfeited to cover the debt which makes the amount they are reporting incorrect.

This is XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself, and to inform you that there is no third party involved in the process. Regardless of the multiple written requests, the unverified accounts listed below are still reporting on my credit report in violation of federal law. The Equifax Credit Bureau failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law and continued reporting of unconfirmed information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Please remove the following accounts completely from my Credit Reports : Charge Off : XXXX XXXX- - Balance {$110.00} -Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX  XXXX - XXXX {$0.00} -DatXXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX- Balance {$0.00} XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX- Balance {$0.00} XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX - Balance {$0.00} XXXX Opened XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Late Close : XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XXXX {$0.00} XXXX Opened XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX

Upon pulling of my Lexis Nexus report, by a mortgage lender, they noticed a State Tax Lien. Ive spoken with my county circuit clerks office and looked online repeatedly for this incorrect tax lien and they have no record of it. So again, I went to the XXXX County Circuit clerks office website today and seen again, no such record. They are hindering my ability to purchase a home for something that it being reported on my credit file incorrect. I have attached a picture of the XXXX County Circuit clerks website where it says no information found with the case number!

I have an XXXX credit card issued by Comenity bank to be used at XXXX XXXX and XXXX stores. I attempted to login to make a payment this morning and have repeatedly tried to access my account today. The website says it is " down for maintenance. '' I called the XXXX customer service line and received an automated message that " due to unexpected circumstances their offices are closed '' with no option to reach someone to talk to. I tried logging in to my account and got the error message attached below. 

I then started a chat with XXXX where I made my most recent purchase, who also offered no assistance and said they could not provide information on credit card related matters ( see attached ). 

XXXX never sent an email indicating any site maintenance. I've seen on XXXX that multiple people have the same complaints for various store credit cards issued through Comenity ( now perhaps Bread Financial? ). I also saw on XXXX that people mentioned it was bought by Bread Fiancial. I tried calling their customer service line, which then is answered by Comenity Bank, so again the same problem with receiving a message that due to unforeseen circumstances, their offices are closed. 

There were no emails sent to customers about site maintenance, a merger, or accounts being in accessible. I have a very good credit history and do not want late payments that are not my fault due to the irresponsible way these banks have shut off all access to my accounts to affect me adversely.

This letter serves as a formal demand for immediate action to address your blatant violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., in handling my dispute regarding fraudulent information resulting from identity theft. Your failure to act is both unlawful and intolerable. 

Violations of Federal Law 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Despite receiving my comprehensive dispute, including the FTC Identity Theft Report and supporting documentation, your agency has flagrantly failed to conduct a reasonable investigation into the fraudulent accounts. Ignoring evidence is not an investigation. 
2.Failure to Provide Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) Under the FCRA, you are required to notify me of the results of your investigation within 30 days. To date, I have received no such communication. This complete disregard for transparency further underscores your negligence and lack of compliance with federal law. 
3.Failure to Block Fraudulent Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) You are legally obligated to block fraudulent information upon receipt of an identity theft report. By failing to do so, you continue to willfully allow the publication of inaccurate, damaging information in violation of my rights. 

Legal Precedents Highlighting Your Liability Your actionsor lack thereofare not without consequence. Courts have repeatedly held credit reporting agencies accountable for similar misconduct : Cushman v. TransUnion Corp. ( XXXX ) : Reinforced your obligation to conduct meaningful investigations beyond relying on furnishers data. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ) : Confirmed that credit bureaus may not shirk their duties by delegating investigations to furnishers. 
XXXX v. TransUnion LLC ( XXXX ) : Demonstrated the severe consequences of failing to comply with FCRA obligations, including class-action liability and significant damages. 

Demand for Immediate Action I demand the following actions, without delay : 1.Conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation into the disputed accounts and fraudulent transactions.

2.Provide a comprehensive written explanation detailing your investigation process and results.

3.Permanently remove or block all inaccurate information associated with my identity theft. 

Failure to address this matter within the FCRAs legally mandated timeline will leave me no choice but to escalate this issue. I will : File formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). 
Seek damages through legal action, including but not limited to statutory damages, punitive damages, and recovery of attorneys fees, as permitted under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. 

This letter is your final notice to rectify your violations. Your failure to comply will be viewed as willful non-compliance with federal law, and I will ensure that the consequences of your negligence are pursued to the fullest extent.

I tried to settle debt with Blitt and Gaines. They said I would have 60 days to satisfy this debt. I requested they send me info so I can make payment. However, they went back on their word of 60 days and only gave me 26 days. I have proof of email from them stating 60 days to pay and will send it to you. They are dishonest and should not be able to treat consumers this way. I have XXXX kids and a very ill husband who is having XXXX this month. 60 days would have worked but now I have only 16 days to come up with payment or it goes to court. They said XXXX!

Account started in XXXX. Account was charged off due to family struggles. In XXXX a credit report was pulled in XXXX showing correct account information ( charged off ). When finalizing an application credit report was pulled again in XX/XX/XXXX. Motolease , LLC had, at that point, reported the account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX and showed it as an active open account. We immediately disputed with all three credit bureaus and contacted Motolease to make sure this never happened again. I spoke with a customer service rep who stated " Our supervisors don't have access to phones, but I need to get you to the resolution department. '' She then transferred me and a man picked up the line and stated " Do you mind if I place you on a brief hold while I look into the account '' ( after again asking for a supervisor ). I was on hold for over XXXX minutes when a different woman picked up. She stated she would try to get a supervisor. I mentioned that I didn't want to be on hold only to be randomly transferred without being told again and she assured me " If it takes longer than a couple of minutes, I will check in with you. '' I was on hold for over XXXX minutes when I was hung up on. I tried to contact back and it said " No one is available to take your call. '' I disconnected and called again and got the same woman who had disconnected the call. She place me on hold again for over XXXX minutes and said the account is open. I told her I have a credit report showing it was charged off from XX/XX/XXXX. She stated that the account was still open and that Motolease has continued to try to contact us in regards to it. When I asked when the last call was she told me XX/XX/XXXX! They haven't contacted us in over 5 years, they charged off the account and because the statute of limitations is running out ( 7 years ) they are trying to reopen the account. I let her know we would be seeking legal counsel.
