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!

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681, section 602 ( a ) emphasizes the importance of consumer reporting agencies acting responsibly with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for consumer privacy. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and as a consumer, I have the right to ensure that my private information is protected. This right is reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which mandates that financial institutions respect the privacy of their customers and protect the confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information.

As per 15 USC 1681, section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a consumer report with the written consent of the consumer. I have not given Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, or any financial institution my written consent to share my information. Therefore, any consent previously given, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked. 

According to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), financial institutions must inform consumers of their right to opt out of the disclosure of their nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. I was not informed of this right by the information furnishers to credit agencies. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states that no consumer reporting agency may include adverse information in a consumer report that is older than seven years, except for records of convictions of crimes. The adverse account being reported by Equifax and XXXX is without my permission and is against the law. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that a person should not furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. Also, 15 USC 1681e requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain procedures to prevent violations of section 1681c and to ensure that reports are furnished only for permissible purposes. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are failing to maintain these procedures. 

Lastly, under 12 CFR 1016.7, a consumer has the right to opt out at any time. I am exercising my right to opt out of the reporting services of XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

This will be my last time filing a complaint with Wells Fargo on CFPB. I am under the impression of Wells Fargo 0 % liability for fraud purchases. I completed the steps needed in order to guarantee my {$2000.00} back. I have offered to provide my own evidence to show that I did not make not those charges, and waited to be contacted about the case. No one ever contacted me until 10 days later to tell me my claim was denied. Even though, I was told a representative from Wells Fargo would contact me for more information regarding the claim. I have asked multiple times for valid proof that the charges from my claim were not fraudulent, but you all have yet to do this. I have asked multiple times, through phone, email, and this here company. So, I dont understand how a thorough investigation was completed without the help of myself or any substantial evidence being located by the bank. I have documented every encounter and included the companys response to every single one of the encounters. If you all know for a fact that the charges werent fraudulent, then it should be absolutely no reason why you all can not provide that evidence. I understand you all profile certain customers, and Im sure if I were a XXXX XXXX, this would have been handled much differently. I have been patient, and I have tried every possible route to receive my money. If, I do not receive my {$2000.00}, I will be filing a lawsuit for {$10000.00} since in Texas, that will allow me to bypass state/federal court. With all of the very recent multi-million dollar lawsuits against Wells Fargo, including fraud, scandal, overcharging of customers, and more, it only provides more backing for my lawsuit. Whomever is receiving this case, can email me and I will happily send over a copy of the lawsuit. This will be my last time contacting Wells Fargo, as I now have all of the evidence needed for a case to be brought against this bank.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately.

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity.

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
