Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I currently have a virtual XXXX credit card that was used in the past for a payment of a laptop. The account has been paid in full since XX/XX/XXXX. I have never been late with repaying the card. In fact, my account has never reflected any late payments until XX/XX/XXXX. These late payments currently reflect that they originated in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, but took XXXX months before appearing on my account! When I inquired about these late payments, I was told that a new banking institution took over in XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX and now manages the accounts. I asked this new company to provide me with my transactions to show I was late in XXXX and XXXX XXXX  XXXX. They told me they could not provide any information to me because they have no history of the accounts prior to XX/XX/XXXX! In fact, they said that any history before XX/XX/XXXX should no longer be used on my credit report. 

This new banking institution that has taken over my account has blatantly falsified late payments on my account.

My accounts 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/updated.

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.

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!

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

I previously reported a closed XXXX Bank Account # XXXX and demanded that it be removed from TransUnion XXXX. TransUnion responded that the information is not currently on my TransUnion credit report. This is a bold lie as they continue to report the closed XXXX Bank Account until this day! 

In accordance with the fair credit reporting act, convergent account number XXXX, has violated my rights. 

15 USC 1681 section 602A states I have the right to privacy.

15 USC 1681 section 604A section 2 it also states, a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions 15 USC 1666B a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

It is also my understanding that per 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( e ) ( 6 ) - Permissible purposes of consumer reports, all consumer reporting agencies are required to establish and maintain a notification system for purposes of paragraph ( 5 ) jointly with other such consumer reporting agencies. XXXX has removed this reporting! TransUnion needs to follow suit! 

I demand that this fraudulent closed account be deleted from TransUnion reporting immediately.

**Subject : Request for Reinsertion of Account on Equifax Credit Report Account Number XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to request the reinsertion of my XXXX XXXX account ( account number : XXXX ) on my Equifax credit report. I have recently reviewed my credit reports and noticed that this account is not currently appearing on my Equifax report, though it has been reported accurately with other credit reporting agencies.

This account is in good standing and accurately reflects my credit history with XXXX XXXX, so I believe it should be included in my Equifax report. The absence of this account affects the completeness of my credit profile, and I am requesting that XXXX XXXX take steps to ensure it is reported to Equifax as part of my credit file.

Please let me know if there is any additional information required from my end to facilitate this reinsertion, and thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your assistance in helping me maintain an accurate and complete credit report.

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 : TEXAS XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to Equifax XXXX a late payment reported by TEXAS XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 : Payment Was Made On Time : I made the payment for XX/XX/XXXX on time. I have provided bank statements and payment confirmation receipts showing that the payment was processed before the due date, but the late payment was inaccurately recorded. 
Clerical Error at TEXAS XXXX XXXX : After reviewing the account, it became evident that the late payment was a result of a clerical mistake on the part of TEXAS XXXX XXXX. The payment was mistakenly applied late despite being made on time. I contacted customer service, and they confirmed the error. I have attached email correspondence from TEXAS XXXX XXXX confirming this issue. 
Account Closure : The account was fully paid off and closed as of XX/XX/XXXX, and no further activity or payments should have been reported after that date. The presence of a late payment in XX/XX/XXXX is not only inaccurate but also impossible given the account 's closure status. I have attached the account closure statement from TEXAS XXXX XXXX as evidence. 

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. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
