THIS ACCOUNT APPEARS TWICE ON MY CREDIT SHOWING XXXX XXXXXXXX AND ALSO SHOWING XXXX XXXX. {$460.00} BALANCE. 

I have written THE CREDIT BUREAU XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX numerous times to exercise my consumer rights of validating the debt that is being reported and affecting my consumer report. Per 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts, If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector I am filing a complaint against THE CREDIT BUREAU AND XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX to dispute the validity of the debt that has continuously been attempted to be collected by me. I have decided to file a complaint expressing my concerns regarding potential violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically under USC 1692g, which governs the validation of debts. 

I am well aware of my rights under the FDCPA, and I assert my right to dispute the validity of the alleged debt and to request the verification of this debt as stipulated in USC 1692g. Please consider this letter as a formal dispute and request for validation of the debt. I dispute the debt as follows : Experian : XXXX REASON : 15 U.S. Code 1692e - False or misleading representation INSTRUCTION : PLEASE REMOVE THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT REPORT. YOU ARE VIOLATING 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures Lack of Sufficient Information : Your initial communication this month failed to provide adequate information to enable me to determine the validity of the debt, including the name of the original creditor, the amount owed, and the nature of the debt. Incomplete or Inaccurate Information : The information provided in your subsequent communications has been inconsistent and incomplete, further hindering my ability to assess the legitimacy of the debt.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

I have contacted XXXX  XXXX previously to fix this issue because their representative made a critical mistake by processing my payment INCORRECTLY. They called me and alerted me they were closing my account due to reasons unbeknownst to me and I paid my account right then and there in FULL, however their negligent employee put in the computer only XXXX causing my account to go into delinquent status. I mean lets talk about what REALLY happened since XXXX XXXXXXXX did not state this FACT and error in their letters they wrote to these credit companies!! 

. Instead of properly admitting this occurrence, ( which was recorded over call ) they wrote a letter stating no mistakes were found but they still asked the bureaus to update my report which is XXXX  and not taking accountability for the NEGLIGENCE on their end.. This is extremely conflicting seeing as how correct info must be reported BY LAW. 

Fast forward to today EXPERIAN is the only bureau falsely reporting this negative and incorrect information. I spoke to one of Experians rep today name XXXX who told me these delinquent payments dont matter because this account is closed but this is a LIE from the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX because I am homeless and getting denied apartments for this delinquency so Ill definitely be contacting a lawyer about that. 

Not only that but she transferred me to a supervisor XXXX who denies receiving these letters from XXXX XXXX and rudely hung up the phone on me when I tried to ask for his name and was not helpful at all. Luckily I remembered his name because the first rep stated it. Im filing another report so XXXX XXXX can PROMPTLY and CORRECTLY use the proper language so these delinquencies can be updated to PAID ON TIME because it was!!! 
It is unacceptable to say they are no errors found when CLEARLY they know the horrible mistake they made but if they want to sit and play like they dont know there are definitely attorneys for that because I know this is highly illegal. 


The conversation I had with them about their rep INCORRECTLY processing my payment is also on a recorded call so they cant try to lie their way out of this one. AGAIN.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

I see items on my credit report that I dont recognize, suggesting my identity may have been stolen, as I didnt approve these accounts. Ive raised this issue before and am now urgently requesting their removal. These accounts dont reflect my true credit history and are causing me significant stress. If we cant resolve this, Im prepared to take legal action to protect my rights. These inaccuracies are major obstacles to achieving important financial goals, like buying a house and supporting my family, so I hope we can address this issue quickly.

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
