Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Despite my repeated attempts to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries on my consumer report, I have not achieved a satisfactory outcome. These inquiries are not related to me, and I am not responsible for them. Their presence has caused me significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I may have no choice but to consider legal action if this matter is not addressed appropriately. The inaccuracies on my consumer report have severely impacted my ability to purchase my dream home and support my family. For your reference, I have attached a copy of my previous letter to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and requests a resolution.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (PA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by XXXX that Wells Fargo closed my XXXX XXXX store card # XXXX that had an out standing balance of {$1700.00}. I opened the account XX/XX/XXXX and in the XXXX  months the account was open I had never missed a payment and always paid more than the minimum amount due, I have no negative marks in the last XXXX  years on my credit report and consider myself very credit responsible. So this so a complete shock to me since I was given no advance warning from Wells Fargo that this account was going to be closed. I called the company and was told that that they are no longer going to be servicing any accounts associated with XXXX XXXX and they closed all XXXX XXXX accounts. 
It is the companies right not to finance XXXX customers however not to give the customers any advance warning is very troubling. If had at least 30 days notice I could have time to pay the balance off and so it would not impacted my credit score.

When I called Wells Fargo they stated in the terms and conditions of the account it states they have the right to close any account at any time for any reason, which is fine. but any reasonable person with a good credit score with an account in good standing, who pays more than the minimum amount due always on time would not expect their account to be closed with out notice. Not even pop up on the online bill paying portal, or one line blurb one statement. This is irresponsible and was done deliberate done to hurt the consumer.

XXXX is inaccurately reporting that my account is XXXX  days pass due on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), any report that includes information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity should be excluded from a credit report. Since this information is currently included in my report, it constitutes an inaccuracy. 

Furthermore, the FCRA specifies that any entity providing information to a credit reporting agency is required to ensure that the information is complete and accurate. If they find that the information they provided is not complete or accurate, they must promptly notify the credit reporting agency of this determination. They are also obligated to provide any necessary corrections or additional information to make the report accurate. Continuing to furnish incomplete or inaccurate information would be considered willful non-compliance, which is punishable by law.

My account with 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 in 60 days 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.

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
