" 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. ''

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION 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 to be 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. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION 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

XXXX XXXX XXXX c/o XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  [ XXXX ] XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Formal Complaint and Cease and Desist Order Against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Experian, and XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , I am writing to file a formal complaint and issue a cease-and-desist order against XXXX XXXX for multiple violations of federal laws and regulations, as well as against XXXX, Experian, and XXXX for their roles in reporting inaccurate and unauthorized information. 

The crux of the inaccuracy in XXXX reporting lies in their knowledge that the debt in question was discharged. Despite this knowledge, XXXX continued to furnish information related to my account to XXXX, Experian, and XXXX, which is a clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 

XXXX unlawfully attempted to collect on a discharged debt, which is considered a certificate of indebtedness by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ). According to IRS regulations, such discharged debt can not be reported as income. XXXX XXXX has failed to provide me with a XXXX for the cancelled debt as required by law. This failure to comply with IRS reporting requirements and the misreporting of my account as a debt rather than a certificate of indebtedness are clear violations of federal statutes. 

In addition to these violations, XXXX XXXX has breached its own terms and conditions by sharing my information with non-affiliates, XXXX XXXX XXXX, without my explicit consent. This action disregards my right to privacy as a federally protected consumer under the Privacy Act of 1974. 

Moreover, XXXX XXXX failed to inform me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 6802 ( b ) ( c ). This failure, coupled with the unauthorized inclusion of adverse information in my consumer report by XXXX, Experian, and XXXX, further demonstrates the systemic disregard for consumer rights and legal obligations. 

I hereby demand that XXXX XXXX immediately delete the account related to me from their records and cease all further reporting to XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. This cease-and-desist order is issued in accordance with federal laws and regulations governing consumer rights and privacy. 

I also request a thorough investigation into the actions of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, Experian, and XXXX regarding their handling of my account information and the inaccurate reporting of my financial status. This letter serves as my final attempt to resolve this matter amicably before pursuing further legal action, including filing complaints with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
