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:
On XX/XX/XXXX i sent in a dispute letter to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX about some accounts that i saw on my credit report. That was over 120 days ago, i also have been sending in more letters every month to try and get these accounts removed or updated. The most recent letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX. They have been ignoring me. The accounts are not accurate, and they haven't even verified them with me properly. They have failed to maintain proper documentation and accuracy with me. How can they just violate my rights with no explanation for well over 120 days? I always though that the Fair Credit and Reporting Act was supposed to guarantee that they report only accurate information. This is all really confusing because each reporting agency is showing different information. Some late payments are complexly wrong and unverified yet they wont remove them. Other accounts are closed yet still showing they are open and missed payments on a closed account, it is a complete mess. I just want all of the incorrect information on my account removed because this is stressing me out like crazy. I haven't filed an FTC report because i want to go to you all first and hopefully they will just remove all the inaccurate information now. But they are in violation of my consumer rights i need some help.

Complaint:
XXXX Bank has a duplicate account being posted on all XXXX of my bureaus with the account # XXXX, reporting multiple late payments on my credit report that is severely hurting my credit score against all XXXX bureaus where I am unable to qualify or get a mortgage loan. The accounts are paid off and were always in good standing to my best knowledge however not only is it a duplicate account one has XXXX late payments on a secured credit card and one has XXXX late payments on another. Now according to 1666b. 
Timing of payments ( 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. 
( b ) Grace period If an open end consumer credit plan provides a time period within which an obligor may repay any portion of the credit extended without incurring an additional finance charge, such additional finance charge may not be imposed with respect to such portion of the credit extended for the billing cycle of which such period is a part, unless a statement which includes the amount upon which the finance charge for the period is based was mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the date specified in the statement by which payment must be made in order to avoid imposition of that finance charge.

Complaint:
XXXX did not get my written permission to furnish any of the unauthorized accounts or inquiries that's in the letters attached to this complaint. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681b2 ... a consumer reporting agency can only report in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I consider this to be identity theft and CFPB states that identity theft is when someone uses your name, number, date of birth, or other identifying information without your permission. I did not give any consumer reporting agency Authority to report any of the items listed in my attachment. XXXX continuously fail to properly investigate disputed accounts, collections, and inquiries in accordance with15 USC 1681a e. Furthermore, as proof of the violations of my rights, The Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of a record about an individual from a system of records absent the written consent of the individual, unless the disclosure is pursuant to one of twelve statutory exceptions. These are the 12 exceptions ; Need to Know within Agency, Required FOIA Disclosure, Routine Uses, - Bureau of the Census, Statistical Research, National Archives, Law Enforcement Request, Health or Safety of an Individual, Congress, Government Accountability Office, Court Order, Debt Collection Act. None of these would apply to me because none of the lawfully procedures were taken to validate these alleged accounts and inquiries. I ( the consumer ) have never validated any of the item listed in my attachment. The Debt Collection Act states No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of recordsexcept pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains, unless the disclosure would be to a consumer reporting agency in accordance with section 3711 ( e ) of Title 31. 5 U.S.C. 552a ( b ) ( 12 ). It also goes on to say It authorizes agencies to disclose bad-debt information to credit bureaus. 31 U.S.C. 3711 ( e ) ( 9 ) ( F ). Before doing so, however, agencies must complete a series of due process steps designed to validate the debt and to offer the individual an opportunity to repay it. None of the lawfully procedures were taken to validate these alleged accounts and inquiries.

The payment was not late. The payment was received by XX/XX/XXXXwithin the grace period allowed by my loan of 19 days and the payment sat in their office for over 14 days until XXXX decided to apply the payment. I spoke to XXXX regarding the payment several times during XX/XX/XXXX their response was that they were behind due to COVID-19 and the holidays. I should not penalized due to the pandemic and the holidays when my payment was issued and received by them within the grace period. Furthermore, before the check was issued the insurance adjuster spoke to XXXX and they quoted her a loan payoff amount of {$13000.00} that was good until XX/XX/XXXX. The insurance company issued the check amount {$13000.00} that should have paid off the loan in full. XXXX let the check sit in their office for over 14 days and applied it on the XX/XX/XXXX and is now telling me that amount did not pay off the loan. The payment was more than the quoted amount and was enough to pay the loan off in full. I would like XXXX to accept the check they have cashed as payment in full for the loan and close the account and mark it as paid. I would like XXXX to delete the late payment they have reported to my credit report due to the fact the payment was not late and they waited so long to apply the payment to my account.
