Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Disputing late payments reported for XXXX XXXX account on 3 credit reports. All 3 credit reports should reflect On Time payments from XX/XX/XXXX until XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX reported late payments on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account on all 3 credit reports as a retaliation measure because I filed a CFPB complaint against the firm prior to car payoff. 
See attached CFPB Complaint Response from XXXX XXXX. 
Attached Cashier Check for car payoff was cashed by XXXX XXXX. As written on Cashier Check for car payoff Credit Acceptance was ONLY to cash the check if ALL payment history from XX/XX/XXXX until XXXX reflected on time payments. 
XXXX XXXX cashed this check therefore ALL payment history from XX/XX/XXXX until XXXX should show ON TIME payments ( not late payments ). 
Payment history should show on time payments or an X for unknown payment history. 
Account was on auto pay from XX/XX/XXXX until XXXX. 
Account was protected by applicable NYS Covid laws in XXXX and XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX was contacted in writing and via telephone to correct the payment history to show ON TIME PAYMENTS but the firm refuses to make this correction.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I originally took out student loans with XXXX XXXX for my 4 years at XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. After graduating XXXX XXXX became XXXX. Because I was not able to make payments due to financial hardship they gave my loans to a debt collector, XXXX XXXX. Starting in XX/XX/XXXX, once I had a stable job, I was able to set up a payment plan where I paid XXXX a month until I would be able to come up with a lump sum of XXXX to settle my loans. To date I've made XXXX in payments to XXXX XXXX. Despite this, XXXX has reported my account as delinquent every month and I have not been able to raise my credit. I've contacted XXXX about this multiple times, most recently XX/XX/XXXX and they keep informing me they no longer have my loan and transfer me to various debt collectors who also say they do not have my loan and transfer me back to XXXX. XXXX XXXX has informed me that my account is in good standing with them, and they do not know why XXXX keeps reporting me. My credit report says all of my XXXX accounts are closed, so I do not understand why they continue to be reported as delinquent. I have filed a dispute with Transunion and I am waiting to hear back. I just want to make sure that this situation is investigated thoroughly because at this point I feel like I throwing away money and any effort made to improve my credit has been futile. I'm sure you understand my frustration in this matter and I'd appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.

He sated the only way to resolved this would be to do a duplicate order in the amount by purchasing gift cards and XXXX XXXX and XXXX 's. He said my phone was hacked as well and He needed to stay on the phone. The fear was so great that I did this, as if I froze and could not think clearly. I did purchase a {$2000.00} at XXXX XXXX and 3 cards totaling {$6000.00} at XXXX 's. At this point, something clicked and I finally understood was part of a fraudulent scam. I went to the police department in XXXX Ct - XXXX XXXX took my case and put a report together. When I called Amex to report this at the police department and explained the situation, they said the orders were pending, I asked them to stop the charges and they would not, they said I had to wait until the orders were processed. I have copies of the pending charges. I have been a loyal AMEX customer for over 25 years. They will not reverse the charges. I have put claims in with both XXXX XXXX and XXXX 's and working with my branch manager at XXXX  XXXX XXXX to help me with this. I did call victim services of Ct and had a call with the representative on XX/XX/2023. Hopefully you can help me resolve this issue with AMEX.

Usps tracking # XXXX To whom it may concern : Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is a federal law that promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ). CRAs are companies that collect and maintain consumer information, which is then used to produce consumer reports. These reports may be used by creditors, insurers, employers, and others to make decisions about granting credit, loans, insurance, or employment. Under the FCRA, CRAs must take reasonable steps to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. They must also correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information. In addition, the FCRA requires CRAs to provide consumers with access to their consumer reports upon request. Finally, the FCRA protects consumers from identity theft and other forms of fraud by requiring CRAs to take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality and security of consumer information. The FCRA is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), the nations consumer protection agency.With that said, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 611 of FCRA, you have a responsibility of promptly deleting any information which is inaccurate or incomplete. This is my understanding as well. It's important to note that under the FCRA, even if an account has only been speculated upon or never confirmed in any way, the burden falls on you ( the credit bureau ) to provide evidence of its veracity before it can be placed on my credit report.Furthermore, the Metro 2 standard is a common format for reporting credit information. Banks and other lending institutions use the Metro 2 standard to report information to the CRAs. The goal of the Metro 2 standard is to make it easier for lenders to provide accurate and consistent information to the CRAs. This, in turn, should help to improve the accuracy of credit reports. The Metro 2 standard was developed by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and is used by all major credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) .The information in my credit report is wrong! Therefore, it can not be compliant with FCRA and METRO 2 standards because the information was never proven to be factual. So now, I have decided that enough 's enough, and will exercise my consumer rights.The following account allegations are either untrue, unverified, and incorrect. Please remove them immediately, or I will have no choice but to take legal action against you! Also, federal law requires you to respond within thirty

Complaint:
I sent letters out to all 3 credit bureaus regarding items on my credit report that are not accurate which is a FCRA violation and you must abide by the law. All information I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. I am the one sending the letters and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair or 3rd party. I know this is a violation of my rights due to the bureaus not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I just want these accounts to be removed from my credit report immediately or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I am trying to purchase a home soon and these negative items are holding my score back.
