XXXX XXXX XXXX is incorrectly reporting with the CRA 's ( XXXX, XXXX, Equifax ) that  I owe a balance of {$180.00} on a closed/charged off account. How is this possible? If an account or trade-line is charged off, how is there a balance owed? A 'charged off ' account has been written off of the alleging company 's books and is usually covered by insurance or given some sort of tax credit. This trade-line CAN NOT be 'written off ' and have a balance and is CLEARLY in violation of federal law ( s ). The guidelines afforded to me, a litigious consumer are as follows ....

When you provide information to a CRA, you have obligations under the FCRA to ensure the accuracy of the information you furnish. As a rule, its illegal to report information that you know or believe is inaccurate. You have " reasonable cause to believe '' that information is inaccurate if you have knowledge, other than allegations from the consumer, that would lead a reasonable person to doubt the accuracy of the information. FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) You may be exempt from this requirement if you give an address for consumers to report inaccurate information, but you can not, under any circumstances, report information the consumer has told you is inaccurate if it is, in fact, inaccurate. FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( C ) Guidelines for Policies and Procedures You must establish and implement written policies and procedures regarding the accuracy and integrity of information you furnish to a CRA. Guidelines are in Appendix A to Furnisher Rule Part 660. Read the Appendix ; the information here is just a sample.

Your policies and procedures : must be appropriate to the nature, size, complexity, and scope of your activities ; must be reviewed periodically and updated, as necessary ; should ensure that information provided to a CRA is for the right person, and reflects the terms of the account and the consumer 's performance on the account ; require maintenance of records for a reasonable amount of time ; establish internal controls for the accuracy and integrity of information, such as through random sampling ; prevent re-aging ( inaccurately changing the date of first delinquency on a consumers account to a later date ) and duplicative reporting, particularly following portfolio acquisitions or sales, mergers, and other transfers ; and require updating of furnished information where necessary.

Information should : be substantiated by your records when it is furnished ; include consumer identifiers, like name ( s ), date of birth, Social Security number, telephone number ( s ), or address ( es ) ; and be furnished in a standardized form and specify the time period it pertains to.

I have a loan with XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there were late payments on my credit report. As you can see, I have always had a stellar payment record with these companies. I tried contacting the 3 Credit Bureaus with no successful resolution. There was definitely an error on their part. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with FCRA Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law.

My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment to be updated. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( 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. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Hello, This week, i have been challenged by USAA to provide my income level, and my total net worth, and asked if I am a member of a foreign army or government. 

They veil this as " US Patriot Act '' and its the law. The US PATRIOT act doesn't call out anything about personal income, nor Net worth. Especially due to the fact that I've been banking with them for four decades, how would I be under this " alleged '' scrutiny anyway being a natural born citizen.

They threaten that if in the 3 logins allowed, now they have provided this web pop up stating that I will lose all my online access to my accounts unless I comply. It's a 100 % online banking entity. This is essentially stealing my money by disallowing me access, to the money I rightfully earned and own. 

Please help. They have a recent and even extended history of bullying and forcing their patrons into positions of financial disadvantage, and even illegal activity. 

Please help!
