Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NE)

My account with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) 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 ( 30 to 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. 


( XXXX XXXX XXXX, 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

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I would really appreciate that they delete these from my report they are not mines and its not fair to keep them on my credit. Ive even attached a police report last time so Im not sure why they wont honor my request to delete this fraud from my credit.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

My Name is XXXX XXXX, XXXX of XXXX XXXX who passed away. ( My Father ) The property in reference here is XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, CA. My Father had this on a reverse mortgage but the home was also under water. Our agent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX fought for over a year to negotiate with Wells Fargo Reverse mortgage to approve the short sale. Did is also a probate sale in which the court is really pushing us to close. We got approval on XXXX XXXX 2015 with a deadline to close by XXXX XXXX 2015. Everything was going well until XXXX of the buyers got ill and ended up XXXX. During this period there was nothing we could do, nor his lender. He was XXXX and i do n't possibly know a way we can make hime sign, or summit documents in that condition. This is clearly something that was out of our hands. We reach out to Wells Fargo to explain to them the situation and they refuse to work with us. The processor clearly told us that if we do not close by XXXX XXXX. The deal will be drop and property will face foreclosure. They said their hands were tied and nothing they could do because this was a HUD guideline not theirs. How is this possible? we work so hard to finally get this deal here and how is it that we could not get 3-4 extra days to close when the buyers was submitted to the hospital. How is it that there is no exception for something like this? This was out of our hands and by anyway not a delay to close the file, it was an emergency the buyer went through. We are very upset because the files was drop and they are making us re-sudmit everything again so they can now approve us for the short sale. The whole experience with Wells Fargo was a nightmare, from them losing documents, to changing terms last minute, to approving XXXX thing and then changing it. How are they still able to operate. This is so unfair, we are only trying to make this right and it feels like they do n't care and all they want is to insure we lose. The buyer is out of the hospital and is devoted that the house he was only 3 days away from having has now been taken away over some policy that makes no sense. No supervisor, no manager could help. They all said there was nothing they can do. We want this deal close and we want to make sure they comply with that. As consumers i feel we are taken advantage. How is it that they benefit from turning down this deal from closing due to a 3 day delay?? would n't it make more sense for them to get pay and get this over with it?? 

I really hope you can help, my family is devastated by this. We can get over how they can just screw like this. We fought so hard to make this happen and now they just cancel the file over something we had no control.

In XXXX 2013, Residential Credit Solutions took over my mortgage from XXXX. I set up an automatic monthly withdrawal to make the minimum payments and I mail them a check when I have extra money to put to the principal of the loan. My problem is that every time that I mail this company a check, they do not put the full amount to the principle as I direct them in an enclosed letter and on the remittance slip. In one case, they even turned off my monthly automatic payment without informing me. They have lost checks that I have sent them. They never return my telephone calls or e-mails. I have even made a complaint with the XXXX. The company 's website does not allow me to pay the extra principle without incurring additional fees. When the company does respond to my written complaints, it takes them nearly two months to respond. This nightmare has been going on for more than two years. I have kept all of my correspondence with this company and I have scanned all the checks and letters that I have sent them.
