Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

My account with Experian was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported to be removed.

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.

Experian 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Credit Karma (NY)

I use Credit Karma to monitor my credit- and work on trying to repair my credit. I've received several notifications from Credit Karma of offers on loans and credit cards. I eventually took them up on a pre approval offer - When I applied to a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX of 2021. I was denied because in fact I was not preapproved and plus you have to an automobile as collateral to get a loan - which I was not even aware of. This placed an hard inquiry on my credit report, which brought my score down several points also the hard inquiry stays on your report for 2 years which last for two years. I would have never applied if was not made assure that my approval rate was high for this loan.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. 

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

First, South State Bank paid my property taxes in XX/XX/XXXX even though I don't escrow so it made it difficult for me to make my payment to the county. Then they added an escrow amount to my bills starting XX/XX/XXXX2020 but I don't owe them for taxes and insurance, I paid those directly. I called them XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX after I kept seeing this charge on my Statements and it's not getting fixed. I got a call from Collections on XX/XX/XXXX and I told them, another customer service agent and a Supervisor I don't escrow, I don't owe them any money and I want my credit ( history ) fixed. They also assessed me Late Charge.

This is my my XXXX XXXX dispute and second complaint against Transunion Credit Bureau with Cfpb to remove this bankruptcy that is reporting on my credit file that does not belong to me. They have verified it as factual which is not factual because the Bankruptcy court has sent me a letter which I sent them and Cfpb stating they do not report my information to Transunion so they are violating my right as a consumer under the Fair Credit Act. I have already had this Bankruptcy removed off of XXXX and XXXX because they were not able to verify this account belongs to me just as Transunion can not verify this and has not furnished proof that they did verify this account belongs to me which they are suppose to do by law. I am demanding that Transunion remove this Bankruptcy off my credit report immediately or my next step of action is I am going to file a lawsuit against them.
