State: WA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Equifax ; XXXX and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly lates in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, 2019 for the XXXX XXXX XXXX account XXXX number. ( Please see page 4 of the attached credit report. ) Month after month I called and made a payment on this account. Apparently the very first payment was never applied correctly so each payment I made was reporting a month behind. Every time I made another payment I was never told that I had initially missed a payment according to their calculation so consequently every payment I was making was actually a month behind due to their accounting error. I was never aware that I was actually making payments in arrears. Had I been informed of this I would have made an adjustment and paid an additional payment to be current with their accounting. I do not believe I should be punished with any late payments because I was never properly notified of this issue. The only communication I did receive were vague emails with no explanation, no context as to what they were needing or when to call or even WHO to contact! When I did call however, I was never able to physically reach the representative who was forwarding me the emails. I only spoke to the person who happened to answer the phone and was told to just continue making my monthly payments. Never once did this representative share with me that my payments were continually late. I never received any notification in the mail to tell me I had a late payment and I only discovered there were late payments when I obtained a copy of my recent credit report. When I saw this, I immediately went to a XXXX XXXX XXXX branch in XXXX, WA and paid the past due as well as the next upcoming payment to make sure that the account was up-to-date. By XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting these late payments incorrectly due to their accounting error, and never properly notifying me of the issues, is seriously harming my credit score. Please remove these lates from my credit report.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

The interest charges for fraudulent charges is negatively effecting my money.
