Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly.

My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
When I signed up for my store card I told the associate I had a different billing address than my residential and she assured me that she put both addresses and I will receive statements and information to log onto their payment portal. This was incorrect because I never received anything. I also could not place a payment on their portal because when inputting my address it gave me an error saying my information was not matching what was on file for the card. I called and talked to a representative which understood and agreed that this was kohls error due to the incorrect address. He also waived the late fee on my account because of this error. However they refuse to remove the delinquency from my credit report. They issued me 30 days late. By the time they corrected the address on file I didn't get the statements only the delinquency paperwork I attached here. I need this removed from my credit report. I have paid them off completely but the delinquency remains even though this was Kohls error.
