Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

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

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (FL)

After viewing a copy of my credit report, I noticed a collection account placed on my credit report from CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING in XX/XX/2016 in  the amount of {$110.00}. First and foremost, I have confirmed that the debt collector, CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING is not licensed in the state of Florida to collect on this debt. Secondly, CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act rules and regulations when they failed to send me a written debt validation notice including the amount of the debt, name of the creditor, and notice of the consumers right to dispute the debt within 30 days ( see 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( a ) ). Third, what obligation do I have at all to CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING? I have never heard of them, have no written contract with them, and have never received any benefits from them. Yet, CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING has submitted negative information to all three credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) against my name and social security number and demands collections payment from me in the amount of {$110.00}. 

Therefore, I am requesting VALIDATION made pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. I respectfully request that CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. I am asking CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING to please provide the following : 1. Agreement with the creditor that authorizes you to collect on this alleged debt 2. The agreement bearing my " WET ''  signature stating that I have agreed to assume the debt 3. Valid copies of the debt agreement stating the amount of the debt and interest charges 4. Proof  that the Statute of Limitations has not expired 5. Complete payment history on this account along with an accounting of all additional charges being assessed 6. Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state ; and 7. Your license numbers and Registered Agent.

This company has infringed on my right to privacy, I have never given this company any right to have my personal information. This company is trying to collect on an alleged debt. This company reported unverified inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies, which has greatly harmed my ability to offer or extend my credit to other financial institutions. This is against federal laws. This account is not mine and was opened using my personal identification without my consent. When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615 ( f ). Ive also never given this company permission to contact me which according to the FCRA is also against federal laws. I have asked numerous times for this company to stop furnishing false information to the CRAs and also for them to stop contacting me. My next step will be to file suit. This is my last time asking to please remove this account, its not mine.

There are several things on my consumer report that were the result of identity theft. I sent the consumer reporting agency Experian and identity theft affidavit. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, these accounts and inquiries should have been blocked from my consumer report. However, they were not. Experian sent a letter stating this block was an error. It was not. Experian has violated my consumer rights. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i Experian is supposed to delete the disputed items during a full and complete investigation. Experian violated this federal law. Experian is still furnishing information without my consent. That is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b. I have never given Experian to furnish anything on my consumer report. 15 U.S. Code 1681n lets me know that any person who willfully fails to comply will be responsible for actual damages up to {$1000.00} per violation. Please note that I will not hesitate to file a suit against Experian for willfully and knowingly violating my consumer rights if this is not rectified within 15 days.
