Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report, To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint:
I have loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there were 30 days late payments on my credit report for the month of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I have read enough to understand my rights. The 3 Credit Bureaus are required to verify for themselves, but they failed to neither verify nor update me about these complaints. I believe the company is violating Sections 616 & 617 of the FCRA. I believe theyre unwilfully noncomplying with federal law & this issue is creating a ton of emotional physical stress. Id like this matter resolved ASAP as it is impacting my health & wellbeing. Please update the late payment from this account. Below is the account with erroneous information and Id like remedied ASAP.
