Formal Demand for Immediate Removal of Late Payment Entries Account No. XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to demand the immediate removal of the late payment entries associated with my auto loan account at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), account number XXXX, from my credit report. While I acknowledge that I made some late payments, I believe it is illegal and unfair for you to continue reporting these negative entries, and I am formally requesting that you remove them within 24 hours of receipt of this letter.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure that the information they report is accurate and fair. Reporting late payments, especially after a consumer has made efforts to bring their account into good standing, is neither fair nor reflective of my overall creditworthiness. The FCRA mandates that credit bureaus must remove or correct inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information from credit reports. These late payment entries, given my repayment efforts and the context of the situation, should not be reported, as doing so constitutes continued damage to my credit profile.

Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681c, certain outdated or irrelevant information, including negative payment history, may no longer be reportable after a certain time. In this case, continued reporting of these late payments is disproportionate and harmful to my financial recovery. The law supports a balanced and fair reporting system, and reporting my late payments with no context or regard for my improved standing is a violation of that principle.

I expect the removal of these late payment entries within 24 hours of receipt of this letter. Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action, including claims for damages and enforcement of my rights under the FCRA.

Please send me written confirmation once the late payment entries have been removed from my credit file. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Ever since I was forced to file Bankruptcy in XXXX 2008 I have made all payments on time as agreed and paid off all Credit Card Debt Monthly Balances in Full. All other installment loans such as Mortgage, Auto and other installment loans have all been paid on time as agreed or paid off sooner. I have only applied for and obtained credit as needed. After following all of the purposed recommendations my credit score still remains well below XXXX. My score seems to bounce back and forth in the low to hi XXXX 's. I would not have had to Bankrupt in the first place had our Government been in control of our Mortgage & Banking Lending Practices. The Housing Market would not have come to a complete CRASH had our Government put into place Strict Regulations to prevent Appraisers from preparing false Housing values, Our Government continues to fail to Regulate the Banking Industries Lending Practices and it appears that we are heading right back into another Recession. As for my own personal Credit score. It appears that all three of the Credit Reporting Agencies are creating a false and very Low Unrealistic Credit Score. This has become very obvious based on my credit history since Bankruptcy. I believe they are doing this so that Lenders will not offer me the best credit available and instead these Bureaus are creating the scenario that forces me to pay higher interest rates and fees. Most importantly XXXX Credit Report is what XXXX XXXX XXXX is basing my Credit Score from. So I ask you again how can I improve my credit score to over XXXX? It is obvious that I pay all of my payments on time, keep all credit cards balance paid off every month and have done everything suggested by Credit Score as well as XXXX. I am frustrated by the constant interference by the Credit Reporting Agencies and their low intentional Credit Scoring that is designed to force me the Consumer from obtaining the best credit available. A copy of this email has also been sent to the US Treasury and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for their review as well. Very Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX Veteran

I received several calls from Bridgecrest ( formerly XXXX XXXX ) requesting payment. Repeated calls 5-7 times a day from various phone numbers. When I have answered the call the company reps never identify themselves or state the debt collection statement that informs me they are collecting a debt. This leads me to doubt their identity and/or believe they are violating my safety and rights as a consumer

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (NY)

Upon investigation, CitiBank contacted me with information stating that the debt was sold to a financial firm, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and that the balanced in 2010 was {$2000.00}. They also stated that there was never a judgement placed against me for the debt and to contact the firm. When I called XXXX, they proceeded to tell me that though the bought the debt, it was being handled by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). When I told them that I was never served and the amount expected was way beyond what was due, they stated that I probably was n't served and should contact the law firm. When I spoke to an associate for the firm, he stated that I should refer my call elsewhere or see them in court despite knowing that they never served me in order to have this judgement placed against me.The only one who has given me an accurate account of the alleged debt figures was CitiBank and I 'm under the impression that I have been a victim of fraud by these firms in this matter.

Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc (TX)

I have put in numerous complaints with Ad Astra and they are still unable to satisfactorily verify that the 2 debts that they are alleging that I owe them. I have not asked for validation but for verification. 

The right of subrogation does not exist for a stranger to the transaction. 73 AmJur 2nd, Section 90. 

This statement means There is no right to substitute someone or some entity that was not on an original contract. It is not allowed. 

Ad Astra has failed to send me a contract between myself and a representative of their company so therefore this is not legally my debt. If I have to sue for legal damages then I am willing to do so because what 's going on is illegal as stated by the law Please do not send the same contracts that you all have been sending, I need to see a drawn up contract from Ad Astra with myself and an Ad Astra representative physically in the document.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (WA)

This is not a duplicate complaint. In a prior complaint, USAA inaccurately reported prior information that a paid charge off had a balance due to XXXX and XXXX. USAA responded to that complaint by re-correcting those tradelines, although they should have been deleted. Now, USAA is inaccurately reporting that same inaccurate prior information that a paid chargeoff has a balance to XXXX. This occurred on XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached the accurate reporting as of XX/XX/XXXX, and the new inaccurate reporting as of XX/XX/XXXX.
XXXX 's system does not allow me to dispute this issue since I disputed it the first time this occurred and XXXX thinks this is a duplicative dispute, which it is not. USAA previously corrected but has now reverted the data to be inaccurate again. As 30 days have passed and the information is inaccurate, it must be deleted according to the FCRA. This is a repetitious and ongoing problem for USAA, and thus far the bank has not taken corrective action that prevents inaccurate reporting of prior information on its tradelines to the 3 credit bureaus. I recommend the CFPB investigate whether this is an ongoing problem at USAA that affects numerous consumers besides myself.

Company: FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE CO. (MT)

The company that is servicing my mortgage, Franklin American Mortgage, notified me today through U.S. mail that they have sold my mortgage to another company, XXXX, XXXX. The effective date of this transfer isXX/XX/XXXX. The date on the notice FAM sent me is XX/XX/XXXX, but the law pertaining to this, 1024.33 ( b ) ( 2 ) ( ii ), states clearly : " ( T ) he transferor servicer shall provide  the notice of transfer to the borrower not less than 15 days before the effective date of the transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loan. '' Having received the notice only today (XX/XX/XXXX ), the transferor servicer did not comply with the requirement of the  applicable statute. The fact that the notice may have been written prior to the 15-day window is irrelevant. Franklin American is required that I have such notice in my hand at least 15 days prior to the change is the relevant factor, and they are not in compliance with the statute. The company had many alternatives to ensure that I received this notification in a timely manner. Sending the notice via overnight mail would have gotten it to me within time, as would them calling me or emailing me. My profile with their company includes all my current contact information, and there is also a message tab on my account where they could have posted this notice. They did none of these things, insuring that I would receive notification late. The timing of this transfer is problematic. I get paid once monthly, on the XXXX. I have set up a recurring payment to come out of my account automatically, but I must cancel these recurring payments several days in advance, and they rarely post to my account until the XXXX, which is the date the notice indicates this transfer will become effective.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (WA)

On XXXX XXXX 2017 my checking account was fraudulently charged XXXX by USPS. Upon learning of the transaction I immediately called and disputed the charge. The transaction was used to purchase a money order that I myself did not purchase. Chase refunded the charge and submitted a claim for fraud. A week later the funds were taken out of my account again. I contacted Chase and was informed that my claim had been rejected so the funds had been reversed. They stated that because it was a PIN based transaction they could not move forward with the claim because I had no proof that I did n't make the transaction. I stated multiple times that I did not make the purchase, I did not give my card to anyone, and no one knows my pin. I called several times after that to ask for information regarding transactions on my account. During my own investigation I was told by a member of the fraud team that there was a non chase ATM balance inquiry made on XX/XX/XXXX, the day before the USPS charge, at an ATM in XXXX WA at XXXX XXXX. I never go to Non Chase ATMs so I found this suspicious. My previous transaction that day occurred at XXXX XXXX at the Oregon XXXX. I was in fact at the Oregon XXXX on X/X/17. I have Pictures to prove that. XXXX WA is 3 hours XXXX of XXXX Oregon, where the Oregon XXXX is located. I explained this all to the fraud team in the effort to get the to understand that there was clearly a duplicate of my card out there and they had my pin. I could not have made purchases at the Oregon XXXX in XXXX Oregon and then traveled 3 hours north, in just an hour, to make a balance inquiry at a Non Chase ATM in XXXX WA. My claim was reopened. Today my claim was again rejected. I 've spoken to many senior supervisors at the fraud department of Chase and they have no intention of returning my fraudulent funds.
