Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX  XXXX Social Security # XXXX DOB : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I hereby make a ghost-letter attempt to a resolution on various credit items and/or items of public record that currently show on XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX respectively . My position is legal based upon sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. These laws are to make sure that a level and fair playing field exist to protect American consumers from abusive reporting procedures on credit reports, as well as illegal and deceptive collection practices. I stipulate at this time that are no condition am I making an identity theft claim or accusation, so I demand that policy be adhered to by all creditors and respective credit reporting agencies. 
Amended consumer rights Fair Credit Reporting Act Public Law 15 U.S.C. 1681 : https : //www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0111-fair-credit-reporting-act.pdf Fair Debt Collection Practices Act : https : //www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-debt-collection-practices-act-text CREDITOR CONTACT INFORMATION : RBS CITIZENS NA  XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX, CT XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ACCOUNT # XXXX THIS PROBLEM OF LATE PAYMENTS OCCURRED FROM MY MOVE TO TEXAS  , I SIMPLY WAS NOT RECEIVING MY STATEMENTS. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE LATE PAYMENT DELETIONS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND MY SITUATION DURING A DIFFICULT MOVE TO TEXAS. 

Please be advised that this is not a dispute, but a request to review the above listed tradeline, collection or item of public record. I realize that your job as a subscriber to the affiliated credit reporting agencies is a valuable service to the credit community, but as there are over 300,000,000, ( 300M ) individuals just in the United States alone that depend on fairness on credit reporting, and mistakes do happen. At no time consider my objective to be a dispute against any of the bureaus, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX respectively. I believe all medical collections if applied against me, should be removed without exception. However, I will negotiate any of those encumbrances if the collection is legal on its merits. I also request the deletion of tradelines if any prior payment histories have been removed or cut from my credit bureaus. In most cases, the 84-month timeline is valid, and my account, if showing a late payment within that 84-month timeline means under FCRA that the account should be removed, or if still a current account, brought to positive status. I am requesting full validation such as, original transfer rights to collect, confirmation of legal timeline to report on credit and/or collection procedures, validation of licensing requirements, posted bonding requirements, oversight on monthly payment histories, proper subscriber agreement compliance with credit reporting agencies, and overall compliance with all Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by-laws as mandated. If all of these requirements are not in order, then I have the legal right to request the deletion of this tradeline accordingly. I especially desire compliance under the 84-month timeline for deletion of negative information, with the deletion of the account details altogether. My dispute is quite specific in the exception area posted below : 605. Requirements relating to information contained in consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c ], Section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ; Section 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], and 611.

I am posting this dispute through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the governing body of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please respond to this dispute within 30-days as mandated within federal guidelines. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
