credit bureau has been regularly and irregularly disseminating my proprietary and private information, as i am the holder in due course, and i demand that this cease, i have been the victim of identity tampering as the various name derivations and addresses can show. 
i do not want my social security number used without my consent nor any information i deem private. I will replace social security number with a number that can be substantiated via the Internal Revenue Service to consolidate my account ( s ). I demand compensation and the right of authorizing who gets to view my account data. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus are required by Federal Law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contravt - any and all accounts the Credit Bureau post on a credit report. Otherwise Anyone paying for thier credit reporting services could fax, mail, or email in a fraudulent account. I wish to stop any un authorized business from perusing my account at a whim, asd is now the case.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Complaint for CFPB Subject : Complaint Against Equifax for Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax for its refusal to remove a charge off account from my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 611 ). 

Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge Off : XX/XX/2021 XXXX I have previously disputed the accuracy of this charge off account with Equifax and provided evidence that the information is inaccurate. However, Equifax has failed to conduct a proper investigation and continues to report the inaccurate information on my credit report.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to request the removal of inaccurate or outdated information from my credit report. Equifax refusal to comply with this law is a clear violation of my consumer rights.

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Equifax for its non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am seeking the immediate removal of the inaccurate charge off account from my credit report.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution and your assistance in ensuring that Equifax upholds its obligations under the law.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Late Payment : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXXXXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : The late payments reported were due to an internal error in XXXX XXXXXXXX payment processing system. My payments were made on time, as confirmed by my bank records, but were incorrectly posted late due to a delay in the creditors system. This clerical error resulted in my account being marked as XXXX and XXXX days late, which is inaccurate and has unjustly affected my credit report. 
Evidence provided : Bank statement showing the payments made on time. 
Confirmation from XXXX XXXXXXXX acknowledging the processing error. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint.

My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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. 


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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
