The late payments are reporting from XXXX and XXXX of this year of 2022. I have documentation from the state that is attached in this correspondence that shows I was incarcerated from XXXX of 2022 to XXXX of 2022 which would made it impossible for me to made the purchased that cause the late payment in XXXX. Self Financial Inc is in CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE LAW! The FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction SO EXCLUSION from a CONSUMER REPORT, clearly states 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ;. So therefore a LATE-PAYMENT is a TRANSACTIONAL experience between the CONSUMER. Which CONGRESS define consumer ( c ) The term consumer means an individual. Which is an INDIVIDUAL ( me ), and the person making the REPORT which is Self Financial Inc . So since its a TRANSACTION between the CONSUMER and the PERSON! Delete the above LATE-PAYMENT FROM MY CONSUMER REPORT! This AGENCY is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681. Now Im not telling you to delete the account! Im asking for you to delete the LATE PAYMENTS which are in violation by being REPORTED and keep the account. Self Financial Inc is also in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of payments where it clearly states, ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. Now FAILURE TO RESPOND! I will take LEGAL ACTION. Due to you being in VIOLATION OF THE LAW! The law SAYS under CIVIL LIABILITY. 15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance a ) In general Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) ( A ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} ; or ( B ) in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ;.
