Fortunately, I landed a wonderful job in XX/XX/XXXX and since then have been able to meet all my obligations with ease. The purpose of this is that, to this day, my report still shows all these late payments. I tried negotiating with the credit card companies to have these removed, but they were unwilling to remove these and said the fair credit reporting act prevented them from doing so. This was XXXX XXXX that said this. I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done other than just keep making my payments on time. Prior to the pandemic, for years my credit was spot on.

Complaint:
Dear TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to follow up on previous disputes I've submitted regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. Enclosed are copies of the letters sent for your reference.

I previously submitted disputes for several items on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate. These disputes were submitted to you over 60 days ago, outlining specific accounts and detailing the violations of my consumer rights due to inaccurate reporting.

Despite the stipulated period under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring an investigation and response within 30 days, I have not received any communication or resolution regarding these disputes.

As a consumer, I am concerned about the accuracy and fairness of my credit report. The lack of response is causing undue distress and affecting my financial well-being.

I kindly request an immediate and thorough investigation into the disputes I've raised. It's essential to rectify these inaccuracies promptly to ensure the integrity of my credit report.

I urge you to provide a detailed update on the status of these disputes and a resolution plan at your earliest convenience. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for your immediate action on this pressing issue.

Complaint:
Recieved a call on two different phone numbers from the same company stating that a credit card for Comenity bank XXXX lane bryant card stating that my account was being sent to civil court in my county. They stated the amount I could pay today or the amount it would cost me in court. The card in question was paid in 2018 and account closed. I told them the account had been paid they argued back stating it was going to civil court. I called comenity bank who had no record of this card as it has been pain and archived. I again called the company asking for the money they refused to give me their name and hung up. It was yesterday so I called them back after XXXX XXXX and it was an answering machine stating their name was XXXX XXXX XXXX  out of a different state. The phone numbers calling me were ( XXXX ) XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX phone number was ( XXXX ) XXXX. When I tried reaching out to that number to tell that company that someone was using their company to get money or debts already paid my call would not go thru. Also I must mention that when this person originally talked to me they did state this account was going into civil court in my county I did reach out to civil court in my county and they had no record of anything. Lucky for me I knew this account had been paid and I did not fall for their SCAM. Instead I reached out to Comenity bank and was told the account had been archived as it was paid and I reached out to my countys civil court office since the company did say my account had been sent there and a process server was going to be serving me. This company needs to be shut down for Scamming people. Not everyone thinks like I do to further investigate. Older people would have just given them the payment.
